La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[LUCKMCFLY]

Mourinho does understands the needs around the team so I believe he will be able  to handle the situation and get the players to do better.

Mourinho is the only one who can take the reins of Real Madrid and improve them. I don't see any other coach. I saw somewhere that if Riquelme won, he'd bring in Arteta and Haaland, but in that case, Real Madrid would sink much further. For me, the right one is Mourinho. I don't know, but there's a reason they call him "The Special One." Besides, Mourinho's press conferences are unique; La Liga needs that spark again.

I expect the club players especially the big players to behave themselves now that Jose Mourinho is appointed as the club manager. We've seen sanction big players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mario Balotelli before, even in his first spell at Real Madrid, senior players respected his decisions. Also, I expect Real Madrid to make few significant signings this summer to improve his options. Like I've always maintained, Real Madrid might not win all the big trophies next season but they'll definitely be more competitive than they were this season.

Every Madrid fan wants the best for the team, but if we're talking about the past, then Mourinho is definitely someone who is still highly respected. Things are different in modern football. A lot of players today have strong personalities, high emotions, and big egos, which can be very difficult to manage through discipline alone. It's not as simple as it used to be.

As for winning trophies, honestly, I still have my doubts about the future of Real Madrid. Even though I'm a fan of the club, the current situation is really complicated.

Today football management does not need iron discipline but instead it needs flexibility in tactical approach. Effective coaches are becoming more of psychologist in order to deal with superstar featured status. I think that existing structural arrangement in club is such that it will endure any dressing room ego clash. Board has established sustainable transfer system with the combination of the young talents who are hungry and the old experienced ones. I believe insecurities of winning another trophy in future is expected in a transition period but the club will always lift the trophy. As far as latest statistics are concerned, they are in much more excellent financial shape than other leading European teams. It is sure economic strength so that they can always purchase most suitable replacements. School is larger than any personality of manager or player.

Mmm i dont know if you dont need iron discipline i believe you need it but the main problem is most of the young players are not gonna follow it and are gonna start to try to destroy the team from inside, and that is gonna be a major problem if you dont have a few experienced players in your side on the dressroom, aside of that yes the football in this recent years changes a lot, we dont see it so much because we are all the day seeing football so we didnt notice it as a big changes but today football has nothing to do with football from 20 years ago.

As we know, Gordon, who has now joined Barcelona, ​​is expected to improve Barcelona's performance and compete with real Madrid. In my opinion, Gordon's arrival will certainly have the potential to improve Barcelona's performance, and Real Madrid will definitely need to be prepared because Barcelona's attack will certainly be strong. I hope Gordon can adapt well at Barcelona. I don't know much about Rashford yet, whether he will play for Barcelona again or not. What do you think? Currently, I haven't received any news about rashford Do you have any new information?

I think Rashford and Gordon are definitely needed by Barcelona because, after all, Gordon and Rashford have great strengths. I hope Rashford and Gordon can play next season. And I hope Barcelona quickly finds a replacement for Lewandowski

There is no guarantee that Gordon will perform brilliantly in Barcelona and improve their performance because he was signed based because Barcelona wants to show that they're not broke if not, I don't see why they signed him since Rashford performed better than him this season based on their statistics. As for Rashford, I think he might be going to Bayern on a loan since, Bayern doesn't need Jackson anymore.

I didn't see anyone mentioning one funny fact: for the second year in a row PSG won the Champions League and this happened exactly after Mbappé left the team. And Real Madrid won the Champions League just before Mbappé arrived. After his arrival, only trophy-less season while PSG won every single competition (minus the Club World Cup). Is it a coincidence? I don't think so. Mbappé is a huge player but probably he brings some kind of negative attitude wherever he goes. He knows he's good, real good, but at this point it's clear there is a problem with his behavior towards the teammates.

Yes,, I also have the same thoughts as you, because it cannot be denied that after Mbappe left PSG and joined Real Madrid, that's where the difference in performance between PSG and Real Madrid changed. Because as we know,, PSG became a very good team after Mbappe left, while Real Madrid became a less good team after Mbappe arrived. So I also don't know for sure whether this is just a coincidence or not, but if we remember the words of PSG coach Enrique, I am also sure that this is not just a coincidence.

Because the PSG coach said that PSG would be fine without Mbappe and he even emphasized that PSG would be an even better team. This was proven by the many trophies they won after that. So yes,, Mbappe does seem to have a personality that can influence his teammates and create a rift within the team. Because recently, it was reported that Mbappé doesn't have a good relationship with his Real Madrid coach. This explains Mbappé's true nature. Given this,, I believe Real Madrid could be facing quite a complex problem right now if Mbappé is indeed the root of the problem.

mbappe the unluckiest man on the face of the earth, the misfortune that brought that player is incredible, however I'm sure that sooner or later he will make up for it with Real Madrid too, I'm sure of it, it's just a question of time, he has what it takes to win the cup, he will do it I'm more than sure, obviously doing it with Paris Saint-Germain would have been definitely better for him.

If Mou is confirmed to be the coach for Madrid next season at least I think let him manage what to do, as for the final results it depends on him who manages, if in the end the conditions are not very good then it is quite natural to criticize but trying to criticize from now on when he has not started I think it shows too much dislike for personalities not objective.

It's true that it's too early to conclude that Real Madrid's fate is already sealed for next season just because Mourinho is returning to the club. he hasn't even started yet, so it's not fair to jump to the conclusion that they'll fail. I think Mourinho needs to be given time so he can shape Real Madrid the way he wants.. despite his rather controversial personality, but that's just his style.. we can't use that as a benchmark to assume Real Madrid will crumble under his leadership. let's just see how Real Madrid develops in his hands, then we can conclude whether he is not worthy or not.

Alonso should never have been sacked, there are players who should be eliminated and in my opinion they also create some unpleasant situations within the club, this is not important for the club and they absolutely must send away those who put the club in trouble, those who do not respect the rules in the end only do damage.

I agree that there are some players that should have been sold or in one way or the other eliminated but that would not have been all the team would need to make progress, for that caliber of team, it at some point felt like Xabi did not have the capacity in experience to manage the team and that was a valid reason he manged that poorly.

Even if the players were removed as you were suggesting, what would  the choice of replacements by xabi look like? That will tell a lot about what to expect, but with mourinho now, we are sure to expect and see much more and better, the sack was at a time necessary for xabi.

I agree with the fact that Jose Mourinho has what it takes to stabilise the team as regards the issue of indiscipline within the squad which is some how undermining the performance of the players, but when it comes to whether he could reduce Barcelona's dominance I don't really think that could be possible right now because Barcelona is already strengthening their squad for next season which could make things very difficult for Real Madrid.

Mourinho does understands the needs around the team so I believe he will be able  to handle the situation and get the players to do better.

Mourinho is the only one who can take the reins of Real Madrid and improve them. I don't see any other coach. I saw somewhere that if Riquelme won, he'd bring in Arteta and Haaland, but in that case, Real Madrid would sink much further. For me, the right one is Mourinho. I don't know, but there's a reason they call him "The Special One." Besides, Mourinho's press conferences are unique; La Liga needs that spark again.

I don't know if Mourinho is the only one who is  considered suitable. Mourinho is experienced, there is no doubt  about that. But is his strategy suitable for today's football ? That is a big question.

Mourinho has three clubs: Roma, Fenerbahce and Benfica. Benfica is in third place in the table this season. They have not won the title. Mourinho was not successful with roma either. He was fired. Fenerbahce  management had high hopes for mourinho. There are not many such experienced managers in the super lig. Even then Mourinho could not  succeed with Fenerbahce. Mourinho was fired from Fenerbahce too.

But if Mourinho is given complete freedom and big funds  to build and manage the squad, then maybe madrid's situation will c hange. Madrid's situation will not change unless they appoint an experienced and strong manager.

Mourinho that ws chased away by some clubs? I think he has a good glory of football between players and fans, he knows how to use players but you see this Real Madrid, I'm not sure this is the same one he has coach unless if there is something we have not seen all this while that he was doing before this time. I was also impressed with the fact that the Benfica he used to almost removed Real Madrid from playoff was impressive, these are the only reason I think he can make changes.

We all can agree that Xabi not Arbeloa were never the problem of Real Madrid but the players, almost all of them had their mistakes last season and their individuality affected the team to the point they had a fight in the locker room. If all of this doesn't stop next season, I don't think it's only Mourinho that will be voluntarily leaving the club, some players will leave and any that has their contract expired will not getting it renew next season.

From the press conference to the field, we need that spark again in La Liga and the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the head coach of Real Madrid will make that happen again. He’s the special one and wherever he gets to manage, he shows indeed he’s the special one that everyone wants to be with. He has done great before, so I don’t expect nothing less of a wondrous season from him. Jose Mourinho is a talented coach, and I am very certain that he’ll deliver well the job given to him with the kind of players he has at his disposal. La Liga will be more fun again, we need some more challenging press conference like before, they also contribute to the joy of the game.

Nothing is impossible when it comes to these two clubs, as they are arch rivals. Real Madrid could regain the La Liga title if they truly improve their performance. Real Madrid has quality players who should still be able to compete with Barcelona for the La Liga title.
Yes, I know Barcelona has strengthened their squad, but they are still struggling to recruit high priced players. So, we don't know what will happen next season, let alone Real Madrid under Mourinho.

This was exactly my point. He's the round peg in a round hole for the managerial position at Real Madrid, no other manager is can help improve the club's performance now than him especially when we've read different reports of players indiscipline. With the Portuguese manager at the dugout, the club players will be at their best behavior, give their best on the pitch and defend the club's badge to the fullest, knowing fully well that anything less than that will likely spell the end of their Real Madrid career.

In La Liga, having a good defense can mean winning the title. Mourinho is a coach who focuses on defense. If, for example, he manages to get Real Madrid to have a very strong defense to the point of conceding fewer than 16 goals by the end of the season, then he can win La Liga. This is because Barcelona, ​​despite having a good attack, are weak defensively. This season Barcelona had 6 defeats. If Real Madrid had had a good defense and only had 3 defeats and 1 draw, they would have been champions. That's why, in my opinion, Mourinho is ideal to be Real Madrid's coach. He knows La Liga and Real Madrid.

It is not certain whether Mourinho  will succeed with Madrid. Because he  has not been able to succeed with any club for a long time. There are two reasons why the madrid management likes mourinho. Firstly, mourinho was the manager of Madrid before. Mourinho has previous experience of managing madrid. Secondly, Mourinho  is quite experienced. If mourinho becomes the manager of Madrid, he will take a  long time to stabilize the squad. If the madrid  management does not give mourinho enough time and  opportunities, he will not be able to succeed. It would not be right to hurry  to stabilize madrid's performance.

Mourinho's age, achievements and experience might be handy in managing Real Madrid players. He will gain their respect and can exert control over the big names in the club. But we should also note that Jose Mourinho has not been successful in recent times at a few of the clubs he has handled. His time in Manchester United, Roma, and Fenebache was not all that glorious.

He is also very stubborn and wants to have total control over the team. Will he get such a privilege in Real Madrid? For me, the Special One needs to upgrade his tactics because they might be going out of fashion.

I hope Jose Mourinho can adopt football modern era from his game play because his tactical know playing full defensive when becoming manager for Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Benfica. Mourinho have much experienced and know well the La Liga competition as Madrid former last several season I don't think any difference tactical of La Liga club, since appointed new manager Jose Mourinho already asking the management to sign several players he want but until right now not any new players announce to the public.

Most important from Jose Mourinho how to control well with Madrid internal team know have many players high ego, its easily challenge or difficult for Jose Mourinho because in this season Madrid face much problem with the locker room team.

The times of the "Special One" are long ago. I liked him a lot as a strategist when he coached Porto and Inter Milan. That was his prime and it was genius because during the matches you could see how much of his mind went into the team's tactics. You don't see that as much anymore and I doubt he is the best choice. I agree you are right that there is a lack of alternatives at the moment, but apart from that he isn't the special one anymore in my opinion.

Mourinho was at Real Madrid when Ronaldo was at his utmost prime time and yet they only won La Liga once in those three years, Copa del Rey once and Supercopa once while Ronaldo scored 53 goals in 54 matches in 10/11 (18 assists), 60 goals in 11/12 (15 assists) and 55 goals in 12/13 (13 assists). UCL in 10/11 was lost in the semifinal, in 2012 again semifinal and then 2013 against Borussia Dortmund in the semifinal.

There isn't much more to ask for than a Cristiano Ronaldo in his prime when you want to win titles, but Mourinho failed.

[colinistheman]

Barcelona don’t have that kind of players that have Champions League mentality and since departure of Xavi and Iniesta they find it difficult to win Champions League that is why they need to focus on Champions League than La Liga this season because the team need the trophy, it is a shame to see a club like Barcelona for not winning UCL for the past ten years.

Barcelona easily could win in La Liga matches but when they go to large stage of Europe their legs get really shaky. Everyone knows that they have been beaten by Inter and Atletico in this season. To survive the dangerous and demanding schedule of Champions League they need strong squad depth along with players with a very tough mentality. And they have very few such kind of player in their squad. So instead of just looking for new heroic player in the attack they should now bring in frimmed backup players who can handle the pressure of the UCL
