La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Luzin]

I read that the Madrid presidential election will soon be held. We know that Florentino Perez's 20 years have made him the king of Madrid. In the end, he faced opposition in the next Real Madrid presidential election. Enrique Riquelme became the first person willing to challenge Perez. The Real Madrid Presidential General Election is scheduled to be held on June 7, 2026. Enrique Riquelme was eventually able to qualify after securing a guarantee of 187 million euros. This situation caused Perez to delay the official appointment of Mourinho because of Riquelme.

I think it's still too early to conclude that they will be so disappointing.. yes, we understand that their level cannot be compared to teams like real madrid and barcelona and other strong european teams, but I think that they are not that weak.. I don't think that they can go that far in the champions league, but also they still have the potential to develop and give a decent fight to other teams in the champions league. so they still deserve to be given a chance to try in the champions league, especially since this is their first time after a long time not being in this competition.

There is no way to consider the Real betis team too  strong. Real Betis is 34 points behind barcelona at the top of the points table. From this it can be understood that even if Real Betis can qualify for the champions league, their situation is not very good.
I agree with you that Real betis won't go far in champions league. Even in the first round there is a big chance that they will be eliminated. But if Betis management is willing to spend  money and build a strong squad next season then they have the potential  to do well. But the chances of doing well in the champions league with the current squad are low.

The elections might be what is delaying the signing of Jose Mourinho. Florentino Perez wants to bring the former Real Madrid coach back to the club. But  Enrique Riquelme has made it clear that he is not a fan of Jose, which means he wouldn't bring him to the club. Rather, he has promised to bring in two world-class players. The club would have to choose between status quo or change.

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.

Betis is certainly a team that has done a lot to be there, i don't think that in the end they will disappoint everyone like Villareal did who, if i remember correctly, won very well against Juventus who, even if they are having a terrible season, are still a great team that never wants to lose.

We just can’t stop it, but Betis in the Champions League will be very disappointing. They have made it, and we can’t stop them from it. all we will do is wait and see if they will be able to do something tangible or just serve as a ladder for other teams to make it to the end of the league next season. Because, to me, I don’t have any hope for Real Betis, as I don’t think they will be able to go far in the league.

[m4r1o]

Generally, the performance of the clubs in this season's La Liga is very poor. That's why you could see a club like Barcelona nearing 100 points already, which means they easily squeezed too many points from other clubs. That's no serious competition. So, in the absence of better clubs, that makes some clubs end up easily higher to play the Champions League.

we should never judge a club, because we can always be wrong, the feeling is always the right one and therefore we cannot know if they will be a team that will not succeed, even if the competition is really difficult we cannot know what will happen in the future, we can predict and make an estimate but it will never be certain a bit like betting.

Perez is a smart man. He knows he will win the election. People would have to choose what they know over the unknown. Riquelme has a lot of work to prove that he can do better than Perez, while Perez only has to show what he has achieved and how he has led the club to convince people. The club's election was suppose to be in three years, but he called it now to show that he is not afraid.

From the interviews he has done, it may be clear that Perez has lost the plot. He does not want to look within to see that he has made some wrong calls like not replacing Casemiro, Kroos and Modric with the right profiles. He didn't look for a natural striker as Benzema left. He has done s much for the club, but with the things going on in the club right now, you can see that the management of club gets a lot of things wrong.

But if Betis management is willing to spend  money and build a strong squad next season then they have the potential  to do well. But the chances of doing well in the champions league with the current squad are low.

The fact is any serious team can qualify for the UEFA Champions League competition for the next season, after the normal three teams we all know, such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Athletico Madrid, aside these three any serious team in that league can follow, so considering, Real betis as a strong team will be a big misunderstanding, I only pray they go past the group stage, because I'm not really sure they can go through that stage, but just as you said if they should close eyes and spend well in this summer transfer window, then they might be able to do a bit better.

But as soon as Benzema left the team, Real Madrid won titles without him, and if my memory serves me right, they also won the European Champions League without him. This is because coach Ancelotti is a genius at moving players from position X to position Z. And Real Madrid didn't spend much money on signings when Benzema left and they still won things. It was a profit they made. In my opinion, the mistake of the Real Madrid president was in making the poor choice of not selling certain players after Ancelotti left and the new signings that were made during Xabi Alonso's time.

But  Enrique Riquelme has made it clear that he is not a fan of Jose, which means he wouldn't bring him to the club. Rather, he has promised to bring in two world-class players. The club would have to choose between status quo or change.

During his campaign Enrique Riquelme firmly stated that if elected he would build a team for the long term, including hiring a coach and yes Jose Mourinho was not his choice.

Enrique Riquelme also firmly stated during his campaign that Madrid won't just win no trophies this season. He also said that as a Madridista it hurts to see the Spanish national team without a Real Madrid player. I think Riquelme sees an opportunity in voters who miss the era when Real Madrid backbone was homegrown players with a winning mentality and became key players in Spain, like the era of Casillas, Ramos, Guti, Gonzalez and Xabi Alonso.

But whatever the case, I still hope Perez wins the upcoming election. Furthermore, I'm also pleased that Enrique Riquelme has the courage to run for president of Madrid which they currently consider undemocratic because Perez always wins by acclamation. So, the benefits of Enrique Riquelme candidacy are very positive, as Riquelme can put some pressure on Perez in this election, even though Perez still wins. But this is a good thing, so Perez will have more ambition for Real Madrid not just saying "we're satisfied with the squad we have," but Perez must be able to bring in the players the coach needs to win trophies every season.

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.

Athletic Bilbao performance was totally bad after playing in the Champions League this season. They were better in the league last season and finished among the top four, but we saw some disappointing results in the Champions League. However, if am not mistaken, Villarreal did not win a single game in the Champions league this season, they managed to earned a point from the game fhey draw. They were eliminated in the group stage, same thing happened with Bilbao.

Real Bestis on the other hand, they must strengthen their squad in order to go far in the Champions League next season. This squad cannot compete in the Champions league, because they failed to beat a club like Braga in the Europa League this season. Real Betis do not have the quality players to go through the Champions League group stage, they must sign more players during this summer.

From the interviews he has done, it may be clear that Perez has lost the plot. He does not want to look within to see that he has made some wrong calls like not replacing Casemiro, Kroos and Modric with the right profiles. He didn't look for a natural striker as Benzema left.

It was a profit they made. In my opinion, the mistake of the Real Madrid president was in making the poor choice of not selling certain players after Ancelotti left and the new signings that were made during Xabi Alonso's time.

With the coming of Jose Mourinho as the new coach, I believe that things would be a lot more different than they used to be. Real Madrid has not being at their best for the past seasons with Barca winning the La Liga trophy twice in a row, and they have dominated the league since the exit of Ancelotti.

Real Madrid has not survived the absence of the players and are still suffering for it. Jose Mourinho is known for winning trophies and I think it's about time Real Madrid takes back the La Liga title.

[Zanab247]

thought they might be very close to winning the trophy but the players could not maintain their consistent performance. Being in third place in the table is an honour for them and I think Villarreal will do even better next season. Atletico Madrid performance in some matches seemed mysterious to me because despite the expectations of the players to do well, they were not able to maintain their performance. I think the team needs a good consultant/manager who can build the team more actively.

Barcelona was very likely to end with a defeat, considering that they no longer have objectives, there was nothing more attractive and interesting for them, this was what ultimately led to the defeat, no longer having an objective and the end of the championship and important events.

What Barcelona displayed this season made them to achieved what they want from la Liga league tournament, because they started well to start leading till this point that made them to stand as a champion of the season. If Barcelona management can still do everything possible to maintain those players against next season it will help Barcelona to experience another victory next season, because they have potential players and solid defenders who don't allow their opponent strikers to have their way to their goalpost easily.

Now that Real Madrid are preparing for presidential election to produce their next president, I guess it will make the club experience positive results than this season that made them to lose laLiga league trophy, champion league trophy and other trophies that would have made the fans to be happy with their coach and players.

Leave it for Florentino Perez's, he is the king of Spain so I believe he is going to win the election. Fans are complaining, demanding for a change of government, forgetting what Florentino Perez's has done for this club. He gave his all, though things may not seem right at the moment, the fans want the Madrid they know before but I think Florentino Perez's deserves to lead this club. A new owner means a new system which may take time to rebuild completely. Fans should stop this emotional drama and stick to the culture.

A lot of football enthusiasts all over the world would be anticipating the return of Jose Mourinho on the big stage after a long time no doubt but while we all wait to see that happen its also saddening to know that one of the best coaches of the 21st century, Pep Guardiola is taking a break away from coaching and it's not clear when he plans to get back to coaching, you all will agree with me that somehow there's going to be a vacuum which I think only Pep can fill, his philosophy is quite unique and his absence is going to be felt these periods.

Yes, it's good to take a break. I think a coach's life is too hectic and stressful, at least Klopp made that clear to us, which is why he values ​​his peace and quiet so much. Being in football, things aren't so easy; dealing with criticism alone isn't easy. You need a lot of mental control and a lot of knowledge about how to manage those emotions. It's quite difficult. I hope he can move forward and come back to football, no matter which team, but that he'll share his wisdom with us again.

The coaching job requires critical thinking, one so deep that you must have to come out with ideas and tactics on how to out pass the opponent. Coaches are the most criticise figures in football, for everything about the team is weighed on them even when it's obvious that the players are not really in themselves giving their best in the field the coach and asked the blame. So i think, having achieve a milestone in the career every coach deserves to take a break to rest and spend time with family and do other things before coming back to the pitch again. I believe Guardiola would manage to come back stronger.

There is something I have noticed with Real Madrid fans, everyone has their favorite when problem ensue in the club. Since the time the time the club has been unable to win the trophy in the last two season, there has been divisions and when it's time to point fingers, they don't point it to,players they hate but to players they don't like if not I don't see any reason why someone will say Vinicious is the problem of Real Madrid as if they just start watching football recently.

the way everyone love real madrid they did not expect them to see there self in this situation and they should even do better because when last did they win any trophy and the way it is they dont care about  winning a trophy and about the progress of the club because it is the plers that will determine the progress and since they are not serious and they just decide to leave the club the way it, exactly the same question they have all the players that they need so what exactly is now there problem.

Where were you guys when Vinicious, Bellingham and Rodirigo won the Champions League, where were you guys when Vinicious and Benzeama did it those times but all of a sudden Mbape cam and people think Vinicious has become the villain and it's not the favorite of the club. Let's do well and give credit to players that has sweat for the club and even if we want to banter, it should be constructive one not the one we throw unbiased shade.

they have all this players and they are still seriously struggling because of there nonchalant atitude they will need to do better because they are not even doint there best at because when someone puts effort you get to see results, and for them not to win any trophy is just very embarrassing and they need to do better next season and it is very oaky for you as a club not to do well since everyday is not chrismas but hthat of real madrid is actually worst.

[KingsDen]

After Real Madrid won the Champions League title 2 years ago, since then no spanish club has won any European title, isn't this concerning?. Rayo Vallecano were so close to breaking the deadlock, but were not able to do so. Rayo Vallecano had more possession, they had many chances than Palace, so i thought they would use the same energy and defeat Crystal Palace. But coming into the second half, they switched off and Crystal Palace took advantage and scored one goal.

Rayo Vallecano were very close to winning their first ever European trophy in history. The Rayo Vallecano fan's eyes were filled with tears after the game, I felt for them even if I am not a fan. No one could hold back their emotions after being this close to making history for the club.

You are right, we can't actually judge a team performance like that  and again just feel as if many of this clubs are not ready to compete.

If not they would've done better than what they did Barcelona is a great team we all know, and the La liga is not really competitive any more just like other other clubs but would have been a tough one for them, but only few clubs challenge.

I read that the Madrid presidential election will soon be held. We know that Florentino Perez's 20 years have made him the king of Madrid. In the end, he faced opposition in the next Real Madrid presidential election. Enrique Riquelme became the first person willing to challenge Perez. The Real Madrid Presidential General Election is scheduled to be held on June 7, 2026. Enrique Riquelme was eventually able to qualify after securing a guarantee of 187 million euros. This situation caused Perez to delay the official appointment of Mourinho because of Riquelme.

But  Enrique Riquelme has made it clear that he is not a fan of Jose, which means he wouldn't bring him to the club. Rather, he has promised to bring in two world-class players. The club would have to choose between status quo or change.

Basically, things like this will become another problem at Real Madrid. Because basically, the people who manage Real Madrid don't seem to share the same vision, so that's clearly not good in my opinion. But yes, what can be done, it's a team, yes, there will definitely be people who might disagree with bringing Mourinho back to the team. I think that's quite reasonable, because basically, Mourinho was once known for his excellent leadership and coaching.

But now,, I think everyone also knows that Mourinho is no longer in his prime, so maybe those who oppose Perez also think the same now. So, yes, basically, what is happening at Real Madrid right now is truly very complicated,, and if this is not resolved soon, I think Real Madrid will become even more chaotic. Because if there is currently a camp opposing Perez, there is certainly no certainty about the new coach at Real Madrid. So, clearly, this will create real problems again. So yes, this team is currently facing a really complicated problem.

Which will be very hard to dethrone him, but at the end of the day we are talking about something that is quite possible, because he has been very bad on the last two years and because of that we are not dealing with anything that is possible at all.

It is not easy to handle and we should not be considering it impossible for this to happen that easily, that is not really that easy because Perez has been 20 years solid and that is the thing to do which is why I hope to see him do a lot better with time, so it shouldn't be that shocking.
