La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Out of mind]

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.

Real Madrid fans expect the team to change the most important thing. Comparing to the past, we know that Mourinho is a person who is respected by everyone and he is a very experienced manager. Although in modern football, it is very unlikely that the team can be controlled like in the past, if the players who are there do not play in a coordinated manner, it is not possible to change. According to the current situation, if Real Madrid cannot maintain their performance like this and improve, then winning the trophy will be very doubtful. According to the current situation, Real Madrid players want to move forward with their personalities and try to do everything alone. Only if each player in the team moves forward with coordination and coordination among themselves, it will be possible to improve and have the possibility of winning the trophy.

[Swordsoffreedom]

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.

Madrid's biggest problem is the ego of their star players. Madrid's squad is very strong. Even compared to Barcelona, ​​Madrid's squad is strong. There are many star players in their squad. But even then their performance was irregular. They could not win any title in two consecutive seasons.

Madrid's dressing room is not good. There is no good relationship between the players. And several players are hot-tempered. This is why Madrid is not doing well. The understanding between the players is not good. It is very difficult for any coach to manage such a squad. Mourinho will have to be strict to manage this squad. And it is also necessary for Madrid to sell several players.

[shinratensei_]

According to the news José Mourinho has informed Real Madrid that he does NOT want star name signings.
He wants HUNGRY players, who would run a lot and FIGHT for the badge, and have no EGO.

It's true!!! A proper club build from a team with good chemistry. It also reminds me with what Enrique said when he's asked about Mbappe's departure. Enrique said "He would rather have 5 players who scored 10 goals each instead of having someone who scored 50 goals".
So i think Mou does it right by not wanting the star player that can be a toxic player to his squad. Just bring someone who can hear and run all of his advices. It will make Madrid to perform better.

Way too many star player in Madrid. the better they to get rid off some of them asap, then use money raised to sign young, fresh, potential players that is still hungry to win everything.

There is a lot of internal conflict in the Madrid dressing room. The understanding between the players is not good, even the mutual relationship is not good. If we can improve this aspect alone, I think 50% of the problems in the Madrid squad will be solved.

Mourinho is an experienced manager. If the Madrid players follow Mourinho's instructions correctly, then there is a possibility of solving the problems between them. But this season we have seen that the Madrid players do not respect Alonso enough. Arbeloa's situation was also similar. So will Mourinho be able to make such an advantage in Madrid ?

[Velvet78]

Mourinho can look for whatever players he wants. I still don't think it will be enough for him to beat Hansi Flick for the La Liga title in his first year. 

Maybe it is a bold statement but that's what I think... Because like I said before, I don't find his strategies updated according to modern football.

Xabi Alonso would have been a better choice if Mbappe didn't act like that against him. Impatience is a horrible thing!

He is an experienced coach with a big name and great achievements, the players should understand that. When they understand, they should have a sense of respect and understand their obligations as professional players. I do not understand, but there are great expectations for Mourinho to improve the players' sense of respect for the coach. I understand that Mourinho is a confident leader, tactically smart, competitive, and strong mentally. IMO

Yes, I think most of this Real Madrid star players have won some couple of champions league trophies perhaps it’s time they seek for a new adventure in their career with a different club. But i think they still have more to offer to the club as they still struggle to win the la liga title which is something Barcelona have really dominated in recent years in La liga. Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho as new manager seems a good fit for now to bring a team cohesion and winning mentality which I think is what the club wants at the moment.

[StarenseN]

A three year deal!! Real Madrid is getting insane at this point and they are rushing towards literally bankrupting themselves. I am 100% guaranteeing you that he is not going to be their manager next season, he is going to fail this season and he will be either fired during the season for doing terrible or he is going to be fired at the end of the season even in the best case. That dude failed to win a league for a decade or something, and they think he can do that now? There is no way, this is a very stupid move.

Lately there has been a lot of issues in the club about Mbappe and some other players and this kind of issue is a thing that always break team or make a team under perform so they need to take care of that issue before next season else it will affect them and they will go Trophiless. Real Madrid and Barcelona used to be champions in Spain but seeing Barcelona winning the La Liga back to back is really crazy though there performance is great and they deserved it, Jose Mourinho is a good Coach.

[Emitdama]

Seeing the need that Madrid has got now mourinho will want to be at his best to turn around the perspective of the team in recent times, his discipline is one which the team can count on to get the players backi in character to win a title next season.

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.

Getting morihno service at Real Madrid means 2 things are certain. The first one is that there will b e total discipline in the team and this will bring them to work collectively to try to achieve something next season. Secondly their drought in winning the Laliga will definitely come to an end soon, even if it not next season but he will definitely win it for them.

Jose morihno is very good tactician even though he his old school, he knows how these thing are done and how to put this players in their very best mentally. So for he his the best man for the job. He has been their before and he knows how to manage and bring the best out of big players.

I know that is why they are getting him, to create a discipline that prevents these player uprising and battles and locker room fights, but anyone who has seen him and how he does, you know for sure that he is not the guy to do this, and for some reason people fool themselves to think that this is possible. It is not, it is not the way he does things, and I bet you that he is going to make things even worse.  Sure, let them give him 3 years, Barcelona will win next season as well and then we are going to see how Real Madrid thinks about him.

The chaos was this completed season and the two players that were involved in the dressing room fight were fine, I believe the rest of the players got the message because you can't be reckless and get into a fight and then lose a match play because you and your team mate decide to do something silly that is not worth it. As a player, if you engage in this kind of things, you will not even be rated by your fans outside, use that energy on the field and score goals.

I do think that some players in Real Madrid are beefing each other, those guys doesn't like each other progress which is normal where something that is suppose to be celebrated  becomes something that players envy of each other especially if some players couldn't do it, such thing are bound to happen for real. As much as I want the team to progress, Perez need to let the players make it natural like we have always see the team play over the years.

Exactly what I thought of him, i know Jose Mourinho won't take any sort of shit from anyone of them that's claiming to be one special person, he will change those mindset from them all, and anyone of them that can't take it from him should better be ready to sit on the bench or better still find himself another club because I know exactly what Jose Mourinho can do, he doesn't really believe in a particular players, so he's really gonna straighten things up in that club, and I'm very much certain he ain't going trophyless come next season I'm sure of that, it's going to be a great challenge for Hansi Flick.

That makes sense, just look at how Real Madrid, with its wealth of star players, failed to win La Liga or the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and even worse, they haven't won any trophy this season. So, it's understandable that Mourinho only wants to recruit players who are hungry for trophies and can follow his lead-- not players who feel they have done more than they can for the club.
And I also think Perez will fully support Mourinho's efforts to find and retain players who want to play for the team, because he's fed up with the drama within the team, which has only made the team's performance decline.

[Adbitco]

I'm not surprised at this news one bit because that's typical of Mourinho, his a no nonsense coach right from time, he doesn't need big names instead he converts small names to big names. Even if a player has ego, they should know when to put it in check because Mourinho won't hesitate to put you on the bench. His managed lots of big players across various teams over the years and they have won something tangible both for the club and themselves. You either fight for the badge or you stay on the bench or he sells you, Mourinho doesn't care who you are and I think that's exactly the kind of person this Real Madrid team needs at the moment.

The aim of every club is to always win trophies, and seriously, winning trophies is not always about big-player names, but about players who are ready to sacrifice themselves for the team and help it achieve great goals.Let's take PSG as an example. They were able to win two Champions League titles without relying on the world's biggest stars. When well recognized players were there, they couldn't win it. Just imagine seeing Messi, Mbappé, and Neymar in one team, yet PSG still couldn't win the Champions League.

That means signing more big players can sometimes create problems for a team, and that is what is happening at Real Madrid right now. I can't imagine a team with so many world class players still struggling to win trophies over two seasons.So, I agree with Jose Mourinho point: it is not all about signing big name players, but about building a squad that can achieve the club's objectives.

[Just Say]

I believe mourinho is going to make a very good and perfect coach in Real Madrid and his going to fully have total control of the dressing room and the players is going to follow his lead because he really don’t give a fuck if you are a star player or not so is either you follow his direction or you stay on the bench or better still leave the club, at this moment I believe all the players are hungry for a trophy so they will follow his lead.

This manager of Real Madrid has made the right decision because we have seen this season that the players of this team are very arrogant and they are bad-tempered even you notice that they fought during training. However, I believe that Jose Mourinho will be able to completely reshape the Real Madrid team and he will make this team unstoppable again and this manager will have full control over the dressing room of Madrid. Under the leadership of Jose Mourinho, Madrid will regain their old dominance but on the other hand we see that Barcelona is also trying to be equally strong because they have already signed Gordon from Newcastle for 80 million euros, at this stage, it seems they may want to dominate strongly against Real Madrid in the upcoming season's El Clasico as well.

Jose Mourinho had won trophies for Real Madrid before, so Florentino Perez believed that he could still handle his team and win them trophies again. The problem of Real Madrid is they are impatient especially if they are not on the winning side. In my opinion, they should have given Xabi Alonso more time because I'm confident that with a long term contract he can led them to many success but just a little time he spent with them he started having problems with the players which made him lose his job.
I know Jose Mourinho is a tactical coach but he shouldn't think he can stay in Real Madrid to that contract given to him, he should always expect what happened to Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa.

And it is also necessary for Madrid to sell several players.

With a past two coaches Real Madrid have face one problem which is big players like their egos players were just trying to utilize his ability for his own individual performance rather than team play and due to this they didn't made a progressive display with a previous two coach wether it's a Xabi Alonso or it's Arbeloa. Still the team has not yet decision about this problem like they only brought Jose Mourinho but what will be happen if Killyan Mbappe, Vinicus Junior and Jude Bellingham has same attitude and egos as previous.....

When a team have a toxic relation in dressing room with each other then definitely he wouldn't be able to make any good or productive performance. So soon as possible Real Madrid should need to sort out all this issue otherwise the same results will be spike.

One thing that I have come to love about Mourinho as a manager is his ability to stand by his words, which he stands to defend always in every team that he has handled and his ability to install discipline and not taking any nonsense from any player be whoever is involved. I believe that Mourinho will install discipline in this madrid setup because one of the things that has been a problem in this madrid team has been lack of discipline.


We saw it playing out when some players ganged up to make sure that Alonso was sacked because they didn't like him as a coach simply because, they did not follow instructions given to them by the Manager and to a large extent the clubs hierarchy were in support of the players. I believe that these players will not try such nonsense with Mourinho as a coach because he is going to throw such players out of the teams setup.

Real Madrid and Barcelona used to be champions in Spain but seeing Barcelona winning the La Liga back to back is really crazy though there performance is great and they deserved it, Jose Mourinho is a good Coach.

When the team is divided, their performance is going to be affected and that  will only be resolved after the team has been able to resolve the issues or take out a few of the playerand get them replaced so that the atmosphere in the team will be changed and allow for the growth of those ehp are still in their best form and can still continue with the team.

Madrid will need to find a way around  the mbappe issues or have the new head coach take the line of action he deems fit.
