La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[GiftedMAN]

In the La Liga promotion playoff semifinals, Castellón will face Almería at home in the first leg. In this matchup between the two teams, I believe Almería is the favorite to advance, but since the first match is at home, Castellón is currently the favorite. A decisive victory in this match would allow them to approach the away leg with greater ease. Therefore, a win by at least a two-goal margin would make their path to the final much easier.

This might sound off but I actually do not know Castellón, haven't watched their game before but for Almeria, I know when they used to be a regular team in the Spanish La Liga so for the love of football, I'll want to see Almeria return to play in the Spanish top flight next season.
Since Almeria are the favorites like you said, it's very possible they'll win the playoff tie. But I've seen this kind of tie before where the underdogs went on to claim victory.

Mounrinho will make sure everything work so well in this team, anytime I see Mounrinho as the new manager in the  Real madrid squad I just feel like they have get over their  problem because of the experience Mounrinho has  he will make all the possible changes that is needed to make this club strong again.

Let's see how the season will begin with Real Madrud maybe they will do great again.

If Arbeloa is still the coach of Real Madrid, I'm sure he will make do everything on his power to make everything work, like he did before the team fallout and let the Barcelona won the title. However, do you think Mourinho can mentally handle what Real Madrid has been in the last 2 years. Do you know how mentally challenging it's for a team that goes  whole season without any trophy, this is the reality Mourinho will share with the team coming next season.

We haven't talk about the behavior of the teams in the last season. Many people think that was because of Perez effect and his power to the players but it's not the same to me. The Real Madrid players feel like they have some kind of immunity they protect them or they think they are the best in the world but it's okay that they get humble so they know everything doesn't revolve around them, there are some players that are far better than Real Madrid players but they don't have the mind of environment to show what they can do.

Arbeloa was one of the worst decisions Madrid made as manager. I believe that if Madrid had given  Alonso the whole season, their performance would have been more  stable. Madrid's gameplay has deteriorated even more because of Arbeloa. Madrid's performance has  become more unstable.

It is impossible to say for  sure whether luis enrique will succeed with madrid. Enrique is an experienced  manager and he was a Madrid coach before. He has these two positive aspects. But he  could not succeed with fenerbahce and Roma. Many say that he is not suitable for modern football. So it is still not  possible to say for sure that madrid will become stronger if they get a manager like mourinho.

[dezoel]

I have zero doubt on Florentino Perez to win the elections again. His opponent in this election is Enrique Riquelme and he has done a really bad thing by promoting a fake Haaland signing...

I don't expect him to be trusted as before. Aside from that, Perez is just a very strong candidate here. He has given his years to Real Madrid and achieved big successes. I think they will re-elect him.

If he didn't had the confirmation, there was no reason to do something like this. I mean we are talking about something that may not even happen, so why use something like that to promote? Did he think City would say nothing about it? Did he think that nobody would raise any suspicions?

There is no way that you could get away with lying at this stage, you have to be truthful about it. Perez will win in a landslide for sure, there is now ay that Riquelme has any chance at all.

[$weetne$$]

Thats right, having many worldclass player doesn’t gurantee a team’s success what gurantees a team’s success and what success depends on is the team chemistry. If players are not compatible then the team can’t play well and deliver their best performance. If you have 1 world class player with whom the whole team is compatible with and has great chemistry can out do a team thet has all world class players but no compatibility. I dont know about mbappe but if madrid sell vini they can see improvement because Mbappe will have his original position and room to breath. If mbappe starts performing believe me he has the ability to impact the whole squad and every game. They are bidding on olise and other players ignoring the fact that they need to remove players not being new ones.

Chemistry amongst players does promotes healthy sportsmanship amongst them, it further brings about  the team spirit in them amd makes them almost always formidable against any team they face, but on the reverse, you discover they become very chaotic, their style of play will aswell be erratic and it does not matter who they have in the team as players. Compatibility and chemistry is strength amongst players.

[tygeade]

Florentino has taken part in Real Madrid's success and he is considered much more accurate than Riquelme. Rumors are growing that when Riquelme is elected he will carry out a revolution and bring in a mega star like Haaland, but this rumor was immediately responded to by Haaland's father. For me, Florentino is the right person to be president of Real Madrid because he has succeeded in making Real a team that is respected enough even though in the last two seasons Real Madrid has looked like a team that has no direction, especially regarding the competition for the title.

That is sort of the reason why Perez has been president for so long, and will be the reason why he will win this too. I mean there is a reason he has been the president of the club for the past 26 years except for a 2-3 year break in the middle. This dude has been the president non-stop for the past 17 years, and had a 6 year before that.

So yeah, the entire reason is because Perez is better than anyone that comes against him. If Real Madrid had any decent person who could do better than Perez, overall, they would gladly vote for that person, in fact most Madrid fans are looking to vote for someone else. But the downside is that there is nobody that is better than Perez that becomes a candidate and that is why Perez stays in power.

[KTChampions]

This is something we need to analyze very carefully. In my opinion, Florentino has done well; he hasn't made any mistakes. I don't know, but I think Riquelme isn't up to the club's standards. For me, Florentino is the best, which is why there's so much conflict. One side knows how to win, the other wants to start a revolution and see how it goes. Besides, he doesn't have any exclusive signings; it's all a lie, that's what it seems to me.

If you look at it over a 10-year period, there's no one to compare Peres to. It's hard to imagine a more ideal president. Looking at the three-year period, Real Madrid made one serious mistake, which, I believe, had a significant impact on the balance of power in Europe as a whole. Because Mbappé played the "I'll or won't leave PSG" game and made a promise to Real Madrid, Real abandoned the pursuit of Haaland, and he ended up at City. Can Perez be blamed for this? Hardly. Otherwise, everything is going smoothly, I think Real will return to their usual titles next season, and if we talk about finances, Real is already doing great.

[Ale88]

No one here is saying that Mbappé is a bad player, we're not criticizing the player but the man behind the player. At this point it's very clear he is a primadonna and suffers competition because he wants to be recognized as the only real star of the team. It happened at PSG, it's happening now at Real Madrid, and even with the French national team. He is somehow insecure.

Mbappe is an extraordinary player, no one doubts that. He has been the top scorer in La Liga for two consecutive seasons. We have seen Mbappe score a lot in almost every season of Ligue 1. He is capable of playing well and has the ability to score a lot, that is true. But Mbappe's relationship with his teammates is not good. And we see the negative impact of this on Madrid's overall performance. Mbappe prioritizes his own score more. Performing well as a team is not important to Mbappe.

Why do I feel like people who are pushing Mbape agenda are Barcelona fans because of a true Real Madrid fan know what he is doing he will never think Mbape is the problem of Real Madrid, what did Real Madrid play in the last El Classico without Mbape? They played nothing and got defeated by Barcelona that does not have Raphina and Yamal on the field, Real Madrid did not have a good defense and a midfielder that can control the game for them and that is what Jose Mourinho ask for when he wants to take the job for next season.

Real Madrid have have sign Dumfries and Konate even if Konate is not yet announced but it is 100 percent sure that he will join Real Madrid, if Mbape score goals and Real Madrid have a good defense that can keep them in the game don’t you think they will win a trophy? I know that there is ego in the dressing room but it is not only about Mbape, the ego is from all Real Madrid players and Mourinho will surely take care of it.

I'm Italian, I support Juventus, I couldn't care less about Barcelona and Real Madrid, I'm simply here to talk about football and I'm expressing my thoughts. If you think over here there are people who "are pushing for Barcelona" like what we write here has any kind of influence on the world, you are living in a fantasy world, and maybe you shouldn't take simple posts like something personal.

Yes, firing Alonso and appointing Arbeloa was one of the worst decisions Real Madrid has ever made. But that’s in the past now. Mourinho is now Real Madrid’s new coach. I hope Mourinho can restore Real Madrid’s glory by improving the team’s performance and making them stronger. Real Madrid’s goal this season is clear: to end Barcelona’s dominance, and more importantly, Real Madrid doesn’t want to go through another trophy drought. Therefore, Real Madrid must strengthen the squad, and I’ve heard they’re targeting several star players. If that happens, I’m optimistic that Real Madrid will once again become a dominant force in La Liga and the Champions League.

Compatibility and chemistry is strength amongst players.

Last season, Real Madrid's team was truly chaotic, practically non-existent. Because some players continued to prioritize their egos and interfere with each other, the coach's tactics didn't work perfectly. Next season, all Real Madrid fans will see how Mourinho will create a special structure for these players to improve and become more unified, as Real Madrid must once again be a strong team in La Liga and the Champions League.

Yes, it was indeed a big mistake, which in my opinion was too hasty to make a decision without better consideration here so that it did not meet expectations.
Mourinho is the hope now but I don't know how they will create a new structure for Real Madrid next season, indeed Mourinho has experience, I hope he can have the ability to match the reputation he has here.
Star players are good but not always if there is no match on the pitch.

So you doubt Mourinho ability to resolve the problems at Real Madrid? Especially in overcoming player egos and Perez selfishness in interfering in player and coach issues? Perhaps you don't know that Mourinho is a coach with a strong character and the players respect him. He has coached many great players who are superior to the current Madrid squad which is why Perez wants Mourinho back.

When accepting Perez offer, Mourinho also had specific conditions giving him freedom to bring in players and manage the entire lineup. So, with Mourinho current freedom and his strict character towards players without discrimination, I'm confident Madrid can bounce back next season. Under Xabi Alnaso and Albeloa, Perez interfered heavily in the coach's affairs and refused to grant the coach's wishes regarding player recruitment. But now Perez seems to have realized this which is why Madrid currently has a target of new players to bring in for next season.

[disbil]

That is sort of the reason why Perez has been president for so long, and will be the reason why he will win this too. I mean there is a reason he has been the president of the club for the past 26 years except for a 2-3 year break in the middle.

But the downside is that there is nobody that is better than Perez that becomes a candidate and that is why Perez stays in power.

I updated fully about the election of Madrid president between Florentino Perez and Riquelme, Perez have announce about new signing bid offer 150 million euro for players who not playing for Premier League club and indicate is Michael Olise. I think Perez have bigger chance winning the Madrid president election this time after his rival Riquelme announce will sign Jurgen Klopp as manager if win the election but Klopp agent refuse this issues there are not any negotiation yet with Riquelme.

I hope Perez can win and become Madrid's president because waiting his promising who is the players with bid offer until 150 million euro, recently Perez have signed two players Denzel Dumfries and Ibrahima Konaté, likely many new players will sign if Florentino Perez winning election become Madrid's president and want to purchase much money after last two season in a row Madrid not winning one tittle yet.

In the La Liga promotion playoff semifinals, Castellón will face Almería at home in the first leg. In this matchup between the two teams, I believe Almería is the favorite to advance, but since the first match is at home, Castellón is currently the favorite. A decisive victory in this match would allow them to approach the away leg with greater ease. Therefore, a win by at least a two-goal margin would make their path to the final much easier.

Strange match, even though Almeria finished in a better position in the league, they should still be favorites even if they were playing away. However, the current situation is different, Castellon is the favorite to win, I think it's dangerous to bet on 1X2 or handicap bet, it's better to play on O/U. Less than 2 hours until the match starts, we'll see the results soon.

Next season, all Real Madrid fans will see how Mourinho will create a special structure for these players to improve and become more unified, as Real Madrid must once again be a strong team in La Liga and the Champions League.

Several players in Madrid's squad are very arrogant. Especially Mbappe always prioritizes his own ideas. He does not follow the coach's instructions properly. The relationship between Vini and Mbappe has improved in the 2nd season. This can be called Madrid's biggest weakness. If there was a good bonding between these two players, Madrid's performance would have been stronger. Also, Real Madrid has not yet found a suitable replacement for Toni Kroos and Modrich. Real Madrid is probably going to add Olise to the squad to strengthen the midfield.

Compatibility and chemistry is strength amongst players.

When players are hungry for success and are very young, it's not good to combine them as forward, this is one of the biggest mistake Real Madrid did and has refused to change. I'm not sure if Mourinho is going to make changes to such but there is need to make that but the problem is who is going to be the sacrificial lamb and the main guy. If you look closely, Rodirigo has become calm ever since he went to injury, when he was fine they didn't let us rest at all.

This is why I like Barcelona, they balance their forward. Raphina and Yamal as both wings and Lewandowski as striker, this combo has been the best thing Barcelona cook for the team. If was the same thing Real Madrid had during the time of Benzema, Vinicious and Rodirigo but the team has fell off. It seems the club has more than enough forward that need benching, else they are justing starting with the trophiless season they had last season.

Even if they don't want to sack Mourinho in a short time in case of a bad run, he doesn't even think of staying for long in the first place. I have heard it like for only a couple of years.

There is still no official deal of course. We are waiting on the elections at Real Madrid. But is there anyone who doesn't think Florentino Perez will win the elections? I don't doubt it so Mourinho is their new manager most probably.

Perez has done a great job in the last few years with after all, he is also a human being, so I will never blame him for anything. He had many good decisions and success here on the Real Madrid platform, but surely this was a mistake that hurt them badly.

I really feel having Mbappe has never been a good decision. Now they need to manage this with available sources because they have enough potential; they just need to bring balance and end a few players egos, which are bringing problems.

If they feel any player is not suitable, they still can leave him with their required player, which is always never a problem for them.

Everyone so how real Madrid were misbehaving for the last two seasons and there players do not work together and that is what has been affecting them they don't know how to work together and that is one of the most important things when it comes to football team work matters a lot and they were not ready to even follow instructions and when the ego of a player becomes too much then the way the club will functions they won't get a good result.

Jose is not some that takes bull shit he will make sure he does is job perfectly so next season is what we want to see because we know that, for them to bring in jose they want changes and the man for to make that changes is Jose and am sure that the players will not have a choice than to follow his instructions because if they don't then they know what will come up next so they will need to make a lot of changes, we miss the real Madrid that we know not the one we are seen now and all they do is to blame there self instead of them to work together.

Perez is a good admistrator which has contributed his quarter to the development of Madrid as a club. Perez as the president of Madrid has done incredibly well because he has given Madrid a new face lift. But one mistake he keeps making over and over as the president of Madrid is the way he has given too much powers to the players. Were players will gang up against a coach and instead of stopping them, by warning them he will instead sack the manger. This is not a very good idea because over time player has this entitlement mentality so if the coach don't play them they will make sure that the coach gets sack by playing series of bad results.
