La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Gost ms]

This season they had to return to the Segunda because of their mistake in rushing to destroy the club for financial reasons.  For another thing the club promoted this season was Racing Santander, I haven't heard of this club for a while and they are finally back in La Liga.

it is never correct to sell the most important players to rebuild an entire team because then for several years you could find yourself in difficulty and have problems with the results that may not arrive for a very long time in the face of a very expensive investment, this is a problem

Yes, I completely agree with you. Selling the big players of the team is never the right decision, rather it is necessary to find out where the problem has arisen and fix the problem. If the biggest players of the team are sold, a team will have to face many big problems. Some of the most notable problems are. Seeing a sudden decline in performance, seeing a vacuum in leadership, facing many complex problems such as the possibility of increasing financial risk.

It happens the same everywhere when you compare any English money-related statistics to other countries. In Italy Inter are getting even less money than Barcelona. The English market is extremely inflated, just take a look at the players' prices, they don't make any sense: you have players who did a decent season and they get sold for 70-80 millions like it's the most normal thing ever...

Well to be fair, Premier league is getting more viewership than La Liga, and that is the main reason. Well not "this" much, like Burnely games are not getting watched more than Barcelona, so it is clear that we are not seeing a fair distribution in that case.

But at the end of the day, it's all about how much money people are willing to pay for something.

And in this case, we are talking about something that is reaching to a point where it is working and for that reason it's not really shocking to me, if premier league finds buyers for a lot more and la liga can't then it is a problem for la liga.

The La Liga is also sending 5 teams to the Champions League this year. Just like the Premier League does... This time the 5th team is going to be Real Betis instead of Athletic Bilbao.

I mean I know Villarreal finished the 24/25 season as the 5th but they are qualifying 2 times in a row in the end. Can Real Betis do much in the league phase? I don't think so. Just like Villarreal couldn't this year.

Real Betis at champions league next season.  I think Antonio Can Dream of that's But am not expecting . Betis will be disappointed us same as Villarreal Did last season. If there were Athletic Bilbao I think they can give some kinda hope But Betis is not team which can give us any hope. it's will be disappointed campaignfor betis.  Overall season performance Betis were good in some point but they are far Below in Ucl Top performance. Bilbao last season was poor but if they Came to Ucl it will be a different result. Because everyone Know Ernste Valverde . Sometime they can give unimaginable performance in Ucl.

Villarreal comfortably defeated Atlético Madrid at home. Having built up a comfortable lead by half-time, Villarreal did not even give Atlético Madrid a chance to turn the match around. For Villarreal, Pérez finished the match with two goals and one assist, whilst Pepe contributed two assists. Both players put in a truly impressive performance during the match. With this victory, Villarreal finished the league in third place.

Villarreal shocked Atletico Madrid by winning 5-1 in the last fixture of the season. Villarreal won a penalty and Parejo converted it into a goal just after 4 minutes of first goal Peres scored in the 34th minute bringing the scoresheet to 2-0. Mikautadze scored in the 40th minute and made 3-0 on scoresheet after 3 more minutes Pubill score the only goal for Atletico and after all these goals Gueye scored another in the 45th minute and now 5 goals were scored in a single half. In the 53rd minute of the second half Perez scored another one and completed his brace. 52% Possession to Atletico with 1.16xG,9 shots and only 4 big chances created. On the other hand Villarreal with 48% possession created 5 big chances, 2.48 xG and 14 shots . Perez is named as player of the match for his brace .

Imagine a club gets relegate in EPL gets more payment compared to the club who won a title in la Liga. This is now the hottest topic about how absurd the difference betwen EPL and La Liga. So i think what Perez said about Tebas was right.
So much money, but less reward to its league. This is why the financial gap between this league and EPL is one of the most craziest reality has ever exist.

Don't you guys think there is something wrong with La Liga?

It is indeed quite ironic when a club wins a major competition but the prize is much smaller compared to a club that is relegated in another domestic competition and it is not wrong to talk about Perez who is considered to be tough on financial transparency in La Liga could be true although it needs to be proven further but indeed with the evidence that is happening of course we can certainly see how lame the two major competitions may even be ranked 1 and 2 for now in European domestics but in terms of finance it is very far apart.

There is still a lot of controversy about referees, there is still a lot of racism from supporters it already shows that there are still problems in La Liga and now the focus should not only be on clubs that have to improve but La Liga must also improve their quality because consciously or not they are one of the biggest leagues in Europe today.

This season they had to return to the Segunda because of their mistake in rushing to destroy the club for financial reasons.  For another thing the club promoted this season was Racing Santander, I haven't heard of this club for a while and they are finally back in La Liga.

It's not a problem if the goal is clear but what Girona did after their best season 2 seasons ago was too far for me because not only 1 key player but almost all key players like Savinho, Dovbyk and Aleix García were auctioned off even though they were players who actually had a big contribution at that time.
But everything has happened and they have to repeat in Segunda next season and it should take a little longer for them to get back to the days when they were dark horses in La Liga.

I saw this news on Facebook but I didn't believe it because that money is too small to be the prize money for winning the La Liga title but I have no choice than to believe the news right now. The La Liga league is  a big league, so the president of the La Liga league should work towards increasing the prize money for the La Liga title.

When you people finally own a club and managing it to a standard maybe then you will understand what  financial burdens and conditions compulsorily necessitate club owners in selling their best players.

It is easier to criticise it outside the room than when you are a member in the room. I agree that selling the best players can have a bad way it can affect a club performance but if selling will help in preventing some financial crisis for the club then it is not a wrong call to make.

May be one of these assumptions could have made them sell their best players after having a splendid season before.

[LUCKMCFLY]

yes there is a verbal agreement, i believe, but Mourinho is certainly an excellent coach, and certainly has a lot of power, those at Real Madrid will have no problem handing the team over to a coach they have already met and who has won a lot in Spain, it could happen without any problems

Everything has been delayed a lot because of the Madrid elections, however I think Riquelme has no chance, unless he says his coach is Klopp and brings him along with Haaland, then I think there could be a big difference, however at this moment I prefer Mourinho over him, because Mourinho has a lot of experience lowering egos, he doesn't care about egos, only about himself and his team, I think he is the ideal one for Madrid, that's why I think he will struggle because I am sure that Florentino will win.

Frankly, I think Malaga has a good chance of getting promoted back to La Liga among these teams. They’ve been in good form lately compared to the start of the season. They didn’t start the season well, but we’ve seen them turn things around. I don’t know how the matchups will play out—that will be decided in the final match—but I’d like to see Las Palmas and Malaga face off in the final, and may the deserving team be promoted to La Liga. As I said before, if either of these two teams makes it, I think the league will be even more exciting, in my opinion.

Malaga is indeed the most logical, by the way, I just realized that there is still 1 more match to be played, we are too quick to make assumptions. It is possible that Malaga will not make the play-off if they fail to win their last match, the same applies to Almeria, Las Palmas & Castellon. Let's see what will happen, the final match will take place in 5 days & Malaga will face Real Zaragoza.

I really like the Malaga team; to be honest, they were one of the teams I admired in the league back in the day, but of course, they ended up having to say goodbye to the league. They’ll have another chance to get promoted, and this time they have to make the most of it. We don’t really know who will make it, but as I said, I still see Malaga as a step ahead. We know the matchups will be determined after the game ends, so unfortunately, we don’t have any information right now about the matchups or who they’ll face in the final.

The La Liga is also sending 5 teams to the Champions League this year. Just like the Premier League does... This time the 5th team is going to be Real Betis instead of Athletic Bilbao.

Real Betis at champions league next season.  I think Antonio Can Dream of that's But am not expecting . Betis will be disappointed us same as Villarreal Did last season. If there were Athletic Bilbao I think they can give some kinda hope But Betis is not team which can give us any hope. it's will be disappointed campaignfor betis.  Overall season performance Betis were good in some point but they are far Below in Ucl Top performance. Bilbao last season was poor but if they Came to Ucl it will be a different result. Because everyone Know Ernste Valverde . Sometime they can give unimaginable performance in Ucl.

Why making this sudden conclusion even when the season haven't started, Real Betis is amount a small team in La Liga which I put so much consideration because of one person Anthony, he was a good player at Ajax and when you came to Manchester United he could not be able to bring out the good him but after he left there and arrive at this club honestly things have turned good for him and that alone also change the entire team to be performing excellently. Real Betis have push up a very good fight because last two seasons which I mean last season they could not be able to make it to the Champions League but they went to Europa and honestly their performance i think was excellent because they are able to make it the semi-final with a very good performance.

Money is never a guarantee that a team can win a title and play well throughout the season. Barcelona spent only €27.5 million to sign four players this season, yet they managed to win the La Liga title and successfully defend it. Real Madrid stand with their financial power spent €167.5 million to bolster their squad depth, but the results were nil and they won nothing. The strength of a club is not always measured by its financial power, but team cohesion and mutual support are the most influential factors.

You are right that the strength of a club cannot always be measured by its financial strength. The strength of a club depends on the discipline of its players. Real Madrid has a lot of star players but due to lack of discipline, the club is not able to improve its game. Barcelona could not sign good players due to financial crisis but borrowed talented players like Rashford. Their decision was right and it has been proven. The right plan to increase the team's capacity can bring any weak team to a good position. To increase the strength of a club, you need to manage the club through proper management, not just spending a lot of money.

The thing is, up until just a few years ago, Barcelona was the one who was spending insane amount of money and yet Real Madrid was getting success, and yet when we look at it right now we can safely say that the reverse is true.

Real Madrid is spending a lot and they are not doing that great because we are not seeing them do anything crazy at all anymore and we shouldn't really be considering this as something that is permeant.

I am sure that Real Madrid will eventually fix whatever is wrong with their situation and they will do fine, but they need time. Mourinho may not be the one who will fix it though.

Imagine a club gets relegate in EPL gets more payment compared to the club who won a title in la Liga.

It is indeed quite ironic ...

Better to avoid comparing English Premier League with the other leagues because simply it is the best and the most watched in the world which means a lot of ads reward, a huge budget and at the end way more money to distribute to the teams there. Even Championship teams gets more money than any other when they promote to Premier League.
Barcelona has to keep advancing in UEFA Champions League to get more money and try to win it in addition to side competitions if they want to generate more money.

Seeing a sudden decline in performance, seeing a vacuum in leadership, facing many complex problems such as the possibility of increasing financial risk.

Selling the team's big names to replace seats with fresh, new people doesn't necessarily always be a bad decision.
Fixing problems is always the right solution, but it's not always the functional one; it always depends on the problem being solved.
You see the bright side with the gain of sold players they can invest in promising new players, sure they should work hard on it but the results still could come and surprise everyone.

The fact is that, if you sell your big players just for money, how are you sure that the ones you are signing will be able to perform as expected. We have seen some players moving to a new club and finds it difficult to be on their peak form because of the club game pattern. Best thing is to buy more players in addition to the big ones on ground to rebuild the team

Therefore, we see Atletico Madrid as a team that has actually achieved its goals. They will go to the Champions League next year, and I think their victory against Barcelona this year, eliminating them from the tournament, was very valuable. Atletico Madrid certainly deserves to be at the top of the league. In my opinion, they are one of the three strongest teams in Spain right now, but to be honest, their squad is far from that of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid has never been a weak team, but in the La Liga championship, they are always a great team, they always have been, so i don't think they don't know that there are huge investments to compete against them, but it's not that they are less superior than them, in fact i think they are also at their level.

As far as am concern, Atletico madrid is a mediocre team that is quite ok not winning anything as long as they can qualify for a place in the uefa champions league. And since they will be getting the revenue as a result of qualifying for the competition, that's why they are not bothered if they stay trophyless, because Diego Someone shouldn't have been the head coach of the club any longer if they were an  ambitious club, but as long as it does not affect the money they are making from the uefa champions league qualification, they are not bothered, and the hierarchy is ok with it because the money is still coming in, so how does a team like that deserve to be at the top of the league?

Actually, we cannot compare the prize of EPL and La Liga clubs because these two leagues have different sources of income, EPL is the richest league so it is very natural that they provide payments that are said to be quite large compared to other leagues while La Liga is not as rich as EPL and we have to understand that even though we know La Liga is also one of the top European leagues but their sources of income are very different.

[changaa]

Real Madrid needs an experienced and disciplined manager like Mourinho in these difficult times. By appointing him, Real Madrid will start anew, but if he cannot get the team to a good position, the consequences will be the same as the previous coaches. When Xabi Alonso was signed, it was expected that he would be able to get the team to a good position, but he was fired mid-season. How long any manager will be in charge of Real Madrid will depend on the team's performance.

I don't know if Mourinho is the coach that Real Madrid are looking for, but certainly his stance and his strong character could help this club from the bad times they are going through, but he has aged, i wouldn't want him to have lost his character of dominating everyone, and his ability to command respect.

It is widely acknowledged today that the English Premier League (EPL) is the most popular football competition. Therefore I find the statement you made to be entirely accurate and I fully agree with it—particularly regarding the prize money awarded to the league champions at the end of the season. The financial rewards received by the winning team in the EPL differ vastly from those received by the champions of La Liga primarily because the revenue streams available to EPL clubs are significantly larger than those available to their counterparts in La Liga. Consequently your response certainly deserves appreciation from anyone who closely follows these various football leagues.

In saying this I do not mean to imply that La Liga is a poor competition on the contrary it remains one of the very best leagues in the world. The distinction lies simply in the financial payouts awarded to the title-winning teams at the conclusion of the season. EPL champions receive substantially larger prize sums compared to the champions of other leagues—such as La Liga or Serie A—where, as we all know the financial rewards are generally more modest. Thus while this disparity in revenue streams—being higher for EPL champions—is a notable factor it is not a fundamentally critical issue regarding the quality of the sport itself. In my view all of the major football leagues today are excellent in their own right the only real difference between them lies in the financial aspect—specifically the disparity between high and low revenue levels.

This has put many teams in difficulty. It's normal to face setbacks, but it becomes a big problem when you don't handle it the right way. Some teams have made that mistake and are now trying to recover, but they are still struggling. Sometimes selling a player does not solve the problem, especially if it's a key player. Every team has someone they rely on, and losing that player often makes things worse.
