La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Adbitco]

I personally don't feel that real Madrid is lacking via defence, but equipping the defence more is still a good approach.

To me real Madrid is facing more of a psychological challenge, from their team members to Barcelona and so on. And it is quite significant how bad psychology can affect the performance of a club, but most people seem to underate it.
For example their star player mbappe phases criticism from the fans and believe it or not that will affect his over all performance, the fact that he was not present in the last el Clasico was as a result of the challenge he faces with the fans and the coach, he wanted to prove a point that was not necessary, it's was not even about his break or what so ever, stuffs like this and many other can affect the performance of the team

Unless you are not following up with what's happening when they play that's why you feel Real Madrid is not lacking in defence. If I'm not mistaken it's been 4 years and counting that Real Madrid has been suffering from defensive issues and little or nothing has been done about it. Are you aware that there was a season Tchoumeni who's a DM actually played most of his season as CB pairing with Alonso? Do you also know that Camavinga who's a midfielder played mostly as a LB? Do you also know that Valverde who's also a midfielder played most part of the match as a RB? All these was under Ancelotti. That was the main reason why most of us didn't blame him for Real Madrid's poor performance that season. Mind you, Perez thought he could achieve the same thing Real Madrid did the previous season by winning the champions league with these same sets of players and didn't reinforce his defense. The next season was a disaster, when Alonso came in, he specifically requested for defence but just one CB, one RB and one LB was signed for him and that was it. This psychological problem you're talking about started just towards the ending of this season, this defence problem has been on for 4 years+

Mbappe behaviour really make trouble for real madrid and also for the France national team. Real Madrid goes trophyless season 2 year in a row and Mbappe are behind for all of this . Remember one thing if France didn't win the worldcup.  All the blame will be in the Mbappe head Haha and I know it will happen and all the truths will be come out there everyone Beleive why Mbappe is curse for real madrid and France.  If you are a footballer you need to give all to your team not for your performance.

You can’t just blame one player for not wining a trophy the manger still have fault you can’t blame mbappe just because Real Madrid lose the league back to back. Madrid problem is not from only one player they have many players that need to leave the club before everything can be balanced. Mbappe don’t just have luck yet in Madrid that is why he as not win a trophy but I can says that with Mourinho coming in now everything will change and balance and I get the believe Madrid can win a title for the club next season and mbappe can get the smile for the club next season.

You are right. Mbappe should'nt bd blame for Real Madrdi bad performance he is not the only person playing for the club and one thing people should understand is the fact that regardless of how good Mbappe is in this team, he can't do it alone. But just because since he came things have'nt go right for Real Madrid are blaming Mbappe which is wrong.

They have changed anothet manager again preparing for the next seaso, let see what the new manager will do, everyone here already testify that Mounrinho is good we will see more of it in the pitch.

Perez insisting on Mourinho will cost this team another season. I am 100% sure that Hansi Flick will eat Mourinho for breakfast. We are going to see yet another Barcelona league title this season, a three in a row title, on their worst ever financial situation, is like a miracle for them.

This will allow Barcelona to have a brand new stadium, while not going that much further into debt because they could have, they would be bigger in debt if they didn't win, but because they won, they will be doing better. Doesn't mean they paid it off or something, they have nearly 2 billion in debt, it just means they are not further in debt than they would be. And now with a third year, they will eb doing even worse for sure.

You never can tell if Barcelona will be able to defend the title as they did this past season. If the stars that Perez plans on signing accept to come to Bernabue, Real Madrid will be unstoppable.

I believe that, Barcelona has had a beautiful two seasons winning the title, next season will be a difficult one for them. However, if Real Madrid continue messing up, they'll allow Barcelona to win it the third time

Is Real Madrid lacking star players this season? Of course not, but they failed in the Champions League and La Liga. Barcelona will try to defend their title next season because the players they have will be ready to perform even better next season.

Now, regarding recruiting star players at such high prices, I think it would be a blunder, and would likely be ridiculed by fans if those expensive player were unable to lead Real Madrid to the title.
Real Madrid has Mbappé and Vini who might be ready to make significant contributions next season, but we don't know how Perez imagined that the players he targeted would become such important players in the club's transfer history if that happened.

[MK-74]

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.

Well, it's a fact that Florentino has done well and that he won. From the way I saw Riquelme's interviews, he seemed like a Barça fan. Now Mourinho will come, and they'll have some good players. I'm eager to know who the €150 million signing will be; it must be a super signing. Vitinha sounds very familiar. Well, I hope that this Real Madrid, in the hands of a Madridista like Mourinho, will change everything and bring order.

Isn’t there a chance that the player Pérez is referring to as a star could be Khvicha Kvaratskhelia? They are expected to sign a player from PSG, but I’m curious to see who it will be.
We will see how successful José Mourinho will be. Personally, I don’t think Mourinho is as good as he used to be.
I think we saw once again this season that Kylian Mbappé is not a very team-oriented player. In my opinion, that is one of the reasons why the teams he joins often end up being unsuccessful.

Some sources pushed for Olise but I couldn't believe it was him exactly, Olise is not worth such an issue amount, he's a good player but paying that much for him will be over pricing. Another source recently announced it was Alvarez being bid for that price, also a good striker but for that amount, and worse of it according to the news is that Atletico Madrid are not willing to release him for that price, I wonder how much the club thinks he's worth to reject such pricing.

[AYOBA]

You are right. Mbappe should'nt bd blame for Real Madrdi bad performance he is not the only person playing for the club and one thing people should understand is the fact that regardless of how good Mbappe is in this team, he can't do it alone.

Through this season Mbappe didn’t performance was very poor I don’t even know what really comes over then that they can’t not lead their team to win even a single trophies that is how they go home trophy less this season, we all understand that Mbappe can’t do it alone, but still there’s something that cames over him that’s why he perform in that way; because this is not how he perform previous season but they suppose put all the blame on him since is not the only in the team.

Since they have changed manager let how the next season will gos for them it might be this new manager can entirely change their team to be better than the previous season, I know that it take some times for some manages to adapt to a new team but Mounrinho will make swore he work on the team quickly.

Why do you think Michael Olise doesn't worth such amount or more?
How much was Florian Wirtz and Hugo Etikite sold to Liverpool last summer and who is better among the three?

Even from his Crystal Palace days he has been doing well and getting to a top club he is doing superb, for me Olise can leave for a money close to or more than the 150m.

Olise is one of the best players ever. I am not sure he knows himself, but anyway, he is a best player.

Who even  knows how great he he is?

Is Real Madrid lacking star players this season? Of course not, but they failed in the Champions League and La Liga. Barcelona will try to defend their title next season because the players they have will be ready to perform even better next season.

Real Madrid are not lacking quality players, but over the last few seasons they have been hit by a wave of injuries to key stars. That's one of the main reasons why Madrid have struggled to compete with Barcelona in the last two seasons. Just look at Madrid 3 seasons ago when they managed to win both La Liga and the UCL, the squad was in good shape and wasn't dealing with long term injury problems. So, in the end, it all comes down to the condition of the squad. And if Barcelona happen to face the same kind of injury crisis that Madrid have been dealing with, then Madrid could be the team lifting the trophies next season.

In certain positions we must admit that Real Madrid's players haven't lived up to expectations, and injuries to several other players have also significantly impacted Real Madrid's performance in previous seasons. Injuries are always a problem for a team, which is why squad integrity is so important. However, there have been times when some of Real Madrid's star players suffered injuries but they actually performed better and won the Champions League in 2017/2018 and 2023/2024. This also shows that the coach's ability to maximize the quality of the players he has is very important even though they are experiencing a storm of injuries to several key players as at that time.

Yes,, you're right, there are many factors causing Real Madrid's performance like this, and it's not just Mbappé. However,, Mbappé is also a factor in Real Madrid's performance. Basically, since his arrival, the atmosphere at Real Madrid has been a bit different, and players like Vini also seem to have a different attitude. After losing, it's no wonder he immediately wants a pay rise, perhaps out of envy or something, seeing Mbappé's relatively high salary. So,, that's where the dressing room at Real Madrid becomes restless and less peaceful.

Furthermore,, I think many people already know that Mbappé also seems to have no respect for the coach and even dribbled many players when the opposing team celebrated a victory in one of the matches. So, that's clearly not a good thing in my opinion. Because, basically, even though it's true that Mbappé is a player with extraordinary performance, But if his attitude remains like that,, it will clearly be a major obstacle to his ability to perform optimally at Real Madrid. So, even though Mourinho is currently the coach at Real Madrid, I'm still quite skeptical of them at this point. So,, hopefully, I'm wrong about this, because it would be very bad if Real Madrid's performance deteriorated again next season.

But just because since he came things have'nt go right for Real Madrid are blaming Mbappe which is wrong.

Over the last two seasons, Real Madrid have been dealing with an injury crisis involving several of their key players. It has happened quite frequently, and when injuries occur, they are often long term ones. So it's pretty clear that the team's poor performances have not been caused by the form of a single player, but rather by the fact that the squad has been in an unstable condition. Therefore, instead of blaming Mbappe or any other individual player, it would make more sense to blame the circumstances. After all, those circumstances have forced Madrid to play without several of their key players.

[jaberwock]

Jose Mourinho isn't known to stick with particular clubs for long periods of time. Most of the time, he's with the same club for about three seasons. Signed to a three-year deal by club president Perez, who was recently re-elected, Jose Mourinho is now officially the coach of Real Madrid. It's clear he faces hefty pressure to bring trophies to the club, but fans will be eager to see which tactics he rolls out to improve club performance.

That's mainly because he had a great past, but never had a great future. His first 10 years as famous Mourinho, and then the next 10 years after that are vastly different.

From his tenure at Porto, to the time he went t United, anything in between that was decent, at United he was not terrible but was not good but that is when the slowing down started. After that, he just failed time after time after time. Yeah winning conference league is something, but seriously not a big deal when you think how terrible he was at the league and why he got fired.

[disbil]

Many people accusing Kylian Mbappe not respect for the head coach but there are not any official releasing by the head coach who their position sacking, so far Kylian Mbappe can playing well both club and national team without any classic problem accusing have not respect to head coach. I don't think he can consistent becoming top scorer for Real Madrid two season in a row if not respect to head coach and easily he loss regular position.

Lets don't make speculation without know the fact because you share about liar rumor, its can't acceptable yet not only for Real Madrid's fans but also for France national team fans because Mbappe is icon for their national team. I think better focus performance of Kylian Mbappe at World Cup and seeing by your eye about his attitude have high respect for France team head coach.

[Ale88]

Mpape is not a bad player, mpape is actually a very good player some seasons ago when he was in PSG he was one of the players that, were tauted to win the Ballon dior that is just to show how good he is as a player. I don't know why people are only selecting some few players out of this current Madrid team and is calling them bad players. The truth is that the entire Madrid team has been bad and has been performing below average it's not a Mpape problem if you check even players like Vicious Jr has not been playing like other seasons.

Kylian Mbappe is not to be held accountable for the declined in performance of Real Madrid over the past two seasons. How can you explain to me that a player that have won the golden boot back to back is the problem of a club? Mbappe shines everywhere he goes and he's also one of the very best Frontline in the world, Mbappe doesn't need anyone's validation because he's already HIM in Madrid.

The Galaticos also find spot to blame for their club's poor performance, it's high time they look at the truth face to face because it's clearly noted that Mbappe have done his best, do you expect Mbappe to be in the goal post to save goals from entering? Or to be in the defendlines to defend against oppositions? Ofcourse not because Kylian Mbappe always carry his role effectively in the Frontline.

The club's fans and the players should accept defeat and take responsibility for their poor performance in the past two seasons rather than pinning everything on the frenchman, and they should work hand in hand to make the club better next season.

You're missing an important point: football is a sport for the team, not the individual. If we take a look at Mbappé's numbers of course they are astonishing, it's impossible to complain about that. But he doesn't really play for the team, and that is a big problem, and it affects everybody. He probably thinks he is above his teammates.

[Gallar]

Is Real Madrid lacking star players this season? Of course not, but they failed in the Champions League and La Liga. Barcelona will try to defend their title next season because the players they have will be ready to perform even better next season.

Real Madrid has Mbappé and Vini who might be ready to make significant contributions next season, but we don't know how Perez imagined that the players he targeted would become such important players in the club's transfer history if that happened.

Yes,, I agree with you, my friend. It's true that Real Madrid currently has good and strong players. But why is Real Madrid's performance so bad? It's because the players don't have good chemistry and still have very big egos. That's why it's so difficult to unite their game on the field.. Real Madrid has changed coaches several times and it's still not working. The problem isn't with the coach,, but with the current players. So,, the existing players need to be encouraged to work together well and lower their egos.

If that can happen, Real Madrid's performance will definitely improve and they won't need to bring in expensive players anymore. Because that would obviously waste a lot of money, and if Real Madrid still fails, it will definitely be even worse for Real Madrid. So, for that reason, Rela Maridd doesn't need to think too much about next season. Basically,, just being able to consistently perform well is more than enough. If they want to win the title next season, I also think it will be very difficult. As we know,, Barcelona certainly won't let that happen.

[bastisisca]

It is true that since Mbappe left PSG and joined Real Madrid, the PSG team has seen a lot of changes in the game. However, the Real Madrid team is also quite strong, but currently we can see that the players of the team do not play by consensus among themselves, due to which their success is very low. However, now that a new coach has been appointed and if Mourinho manages the team properly and forms a strong team, then it is definitely possible to win. When Mbappe was at PSG, he wanted to play alone, he wanted to do everything by himself, but there is no consensus, we have seen his nature in Real Madrid. So if a team is played by coordinating and negotiating, then the team will definitely be able to achieve success.

The structure of the team has certainly changed, but the coach's skill was to demonstrate to the management that you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good team, you have to spend it but in an intelligent way.
Giving away the good Mbappe was a very smart move.

[Alex077]

Today we have Olise who plays at a club, Bayern Munich, that don't need money, so it's a different story. It's also a power game, not only financial.

Absolutely, the game of signing players in the Real Madrid is never just about making a lot of money. The royal prestige, power and glorious history of this club can still melt the heart of any player in the world in a flash. Even if their current club does not want to sell them outright, they have to bow their heads in front of the power of Real. If Olise finally signs for Real it will be a big statement. In fact it will be very interesting to see what other moves Real Madrid will make in the summer transfer market under Mourinho 

[Frankolala]

Well, it's a fact that Florentino has done well and that he won. From the way I saw Riquelme's interviews, he seemed like a Barça fan. Now Mourinho will come, and they'll have some good players. I'm eager to know who the €150 million signing will be; it must be a super signing. Vitinha sounds very familiar. Well, I hope that this Real Madrid, in the hands of a Madridista like Mourinho, will change everything and bring order.

Some sources pushed for Olise but I couldn't believe it was him exactly, Olise is not worth such an issue amount, he's a good player but paying that much for him will be over pricing. Another source recently announced it was Alvarez being bid for that price, also a good striker but for that amount, and worse of it according to the news is that Atletico Madrid are not willing to release him for that price, I wonder how much the club thinks he's worth to reject such pricing.

If anyone needs money, I think Atletico should be the one because holding Alvarez down instead of letting him go and make good profit from his sales is better. The fact is that, both Bayern and Atletico don't want to sell these pkayers. Real Madrid is a rich club which is why they're offering a huge amount of money to get one of these players.

[m4r1o]

If the president manage Barcelona very well which his doing they will come out from this financial crisis, they will surely complete the renovation.

Barcelona can make huge steps forward, they can also win the championship in an even more decisive way, it depends only on them, thanks to the profits they have also had with the championship victory they can also be able to make an even stronger team to return to winning even better than this year.
