La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Localhostspeed]

Even if they change managers a thousand times, Madrid's situation will not  change if the players do not understand their mistakes  and do not change. Madrid's main problem is their players. They have added a bunch of talented and star  players to the squad. Some of these players have a lot of ego. This is why madrid is lagging behind. No manager can build a good relationship between the players. This is why Madrid's performance is irregular.

Madrid is a strong  team. If the players can reduce their ego, build a good relationship between themselves, then I believe that madrid's performance will return to stability. Mourinho is an experienced  manager, it is expected that madrid's situation will change. But this is not possible  if the players do not accurate their  mistakes.

I'm just coming from Fabrizio page, I saw he posted some hours ago that Real Madrid are getting Marc Cucurella after getting Bernardo Silva, this is an addition to 2 players they signed last 2 weeks. What you need to understand now is Mourinho is trying to make that kill switch of players, he want that over dependency to die, there will be no more Mbape and Vinicious doing what they like so the fans don't have to depend on those things they are doing.

I know that sometimes signing of these kind of players doesn't make difference that much but I will tell you that this one is different, there is going to be change and transformation next season. I was doubting Mourinho but maybe we will have to give him that chance to display his plan, Perez seems to be hype too in this battle since he won the last president sit, winning the Laliga and the Champions League is not going to be a problem anymore.

[Creeper0]

Real Madrid has way too many problems, and Mourinho is not the one to solve it, and neither Perez looks like he is solving anything neither. So, I am pretty sure that we are not going to end up with that many problems. I think it is quite clear that we are going to see them fail this season as well.

This is not shocking because they did not do the required things to fix all of this. What was required? Well simply put they needed to get someone who is far better than Mourinho for manager, and they also needed to fire some of the players that are causing this trouble, or at least sell them. If they keep the similar squad, and also let Mourinho run wild, then they are going to just end up being terrible overall.

We can't say for sure right now. But I support the second reason for Real Madrid's failure in the upcoming season. Of course, some players should have been sold, this is not a problem that can be solved through practice, it can be solved through discussion. This problem could not have been solved by any coach, I'm not trying to call Mourinho a failed coach here. Mourinho is quite experienced and good as a coach.

I also doubt that the restless players will respect Mourinho as a coach enough? Will they obey the manager? Or will they behave like they treated previous coaches. If so, then Real Madrid will really be a failure.

[LUCKMCFLY]

In my opinion, Klopp would have been a better choice, but I guess Perez couldn't convince him. If he could have convinced him, I think Klopp would have been Real Madrid's priority. Mourinho, on the other hand, deserves a second chance as a manager known by the club due to his past successful matches. I hope he will be a good option for Madrid during this period.

Yes, the thing is, Klopp is somewhat emotional, Mou isn't. Mou is tough, he's a cold person, he brings anyone down. He doesn't care if someone is a star, no, he's very direct and doesn't care if they're the best player of all. We'll see how he manages the dressing room and when he doesn't field some of the stars in Madrid's games and the controversies start, that'll be something to watch. I trust the Special One's methods, on the other hand, Klopp is for a team that should already be perfecting it.

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.

exactly, these are holy words, football is a team sport, not for the individual, the sooner you learn it the sooner you win, all together, if only the individual was important, they would have had to choose other types of sport where you compete as an individual, this is not good for the team, on the contrary it penalizes it greatly.

I still don’t get all these Mbappe Agenda, how is he getting all the blame, what do you mean he is not a team player. This is a player who have scored over 80 goals since he joined the club. A striker has one target and it to score goals and he his doing that and now he his not a team player. So you will turn a blind eyes on that Real Madrid defense and midfield. Scoring goals have not been madrid problem but they do concede so much.

We see what Perez is trying to do now, they are rebuilding that defense and midlife because that is where Real Madrid problem is. Mbappe is a very good player, he will win succeed and win trophies at Real Madrid, it is very certain for me.

Why do you keep going with this "Mbappé Agenda"? We are just stating facts here. Just because he is a striker it doesn't mean he can be selfish all the time. And it looks like Mbappé's problems are not only on the pitch but also in the dressing room because no matter where he goes, there is drama: at PSG, at Real Madrid, and even with the French national team. Is it a coincidence that PSG had troubles when Mbappé was playing there and after he left they won 2 Champions League in a row? And at Real Madrid happened exactly the opposite after he arrived.

What more do you want from a stricker on the pitch than scoring goals, of course it an agenda. Vini was facing same agenda before Mbappe came. This is the same player that has been the leading scorer since his arrival at the club.

All these he his having issues at France national team started since he move to Real Madrid, it was same psg/France fans that are not happy about his move that are pushing that agenda. When he was at PSG we never had that he had issues at the national team.

If you saying PSG won champions league because Mbappe left I Would assume you don’t know football. A lot has changed at psg since he left, not same set of players when he was around, not same coach and not same system. So you telling me if Mbappe is in this same PSG team they wouldn’t have won’t the champions league. SMH

[jakdanyel]

As of now I don't even think Mbappe can be as selfish as in the past either.    Because Mourinho is also a dominant character so he would discipline him.

Teamwork is over everything in football if you want to achieve success. That's how Barcelona did it in the league this year. They also have a star like Yamal but they are playing really strong as a team too.

Wanted to say something about Mbappe and Mourinho, but this era is completely a different one compared to what we all saw last season and whoever thinks he's the face of the team and that everything is about him should have a rethink because the project Mourinho is coming with us for everybody not for a particular player. Like we all know, Mourinho is a no nonsense manager and he's always aiming at something and I believe the La Liga title is going to be a more competitive one which means Barcelona need to equip themselves too if not Madrid might snatch it from them next campaign.
About what you said concerning teamwork, I completely agree with you, that alone was what killed Madrid last season and Barcelona knew how to work together than the Madrid side. They never made anyone the head of the team but Madrid wanted to make Mbappe the eyes of the team, he also need to be more disciplined and play like someone who have others waiting for him to pass the ball to.

This coming season is going to be a make or mar season for Kylian Mbappe in the Real Madrid team because the arrival of José Morinho is a disciplined manager that does not tolerate any act of indiscipline or truancy. For me I don't Mbappe as a very selfish player instead I would see him as an overzealous player who wishes he could do better and score more goals. What he needs is a little directive on team play to boost the team output instead of him scoring numerous goals with nothing to show for it.

This season is going to be a very challenging and tasking one. José Morinho would need a result this season, he would need the league and the champions League. Kylian Mbappe too is in serious need of a champions League title to add to his shelf. With his world cup title already won, Mbappe now looks forward to winning the champions League as the next apex title of football. So I think he will adapt fully into José Morinho's game style because he needs to win more titles.

He doesn't care if someone is a star, no, he's very direct and doesn't care if they're the best player of all.

I trust the Special One's methods, on the other hand, Klopp is for a team that should already be perfecting it.

Are you sure Mourinho isn't emotional? Even at Real Madrid, he'd run onto the pitch, argue with the referees, and so on. Then, with age, he became even more sentimental - watch the Conference League final where Roma, led by Mourinho, beat Leicester, he literally cried after the game. Klopp's image as emotional is only due to his facial expressions and teeth grinding  It seems to me that they are equally human and subject to emotions. But I agree that Mourinho has the best ability to tame the obstinate.

Already Madrid is getting some new players to join the team which I believe is an indication that some players will exit soon via sales.  Mourinho did made the request for certain players that he will be needing to deliver the kind of results the team looks forward to get and if he is getting those players, it will mean some others will be sold from the team giving room for the new ones to have positions, so I believe a good reshuffle is happening in the team and it will get them better in the coming season hopefully.

With the kind of person mourinho is I’m very confident that Mbappe is going to stop selfish football because he knows if he those not stop mourinho is going to keep him in bench, I believe that Real Madrid is going to do very well next season, they have already started signing some good players, we all know that mourinho is a very good coach that has lifted a lot of trophies and he has done that in Real Madrid when he was a coach so I believe his going to lift another trophy with Real Madrid like he has done before and since he has coached Real Madrid before things won’t be new for him.

Yeah team work is very important in football if any team wants to be winning they need to work together, if theirs no unity in a team they can never win, and yes team work is what has helped Barcelona and I think the first thing or work that mourinho is going to do is to unite the team and make them work together as a team.

[moneystery]

Mourinho, have addressed Real Madrid some biggest weakness in the team especially at the centre back getting quality players in for that kind of amount look like a good business. Bernardo Silva is also a fantastic addition his experience and creativity work should help the midfield a different shapes if signing this players and they settled quickly then Mourinho will get sqaud playing the way he wants and it will be hard to see Real Madrid going through another season without competing seriously for major trophies.

Real Madrid is currently under construction, and Perez has brought in players of considerable quality and performance. In terms of squad depth, Real Madrid now looks much stronger and has the strength to compete with Barcelona for the La Liga title next season.
While we don't yet know whether the new players will integrate immediately into the team, Mourinho, with his disciplined tactical approach, should train this team properly and ensure these new players can achieve their maximum performance as soon as possible to improve Real Madrid's performance next season. So I believe that Real Madrid has a good chance of winning a trophy next season.

[GbitG]

Even if they change managers a thousand times, Madrid's situation will not  change if the players do not understand their mistakes  and do not change. Madrid's main problem is their players. They have added a bunch of talented and star  players to the squad. Some of these players have a lot of ego. This is why madrid is lagging behind. No manager can build a good relationship between the players. This is why Madrid's performance is irregular.

Madrid is a strong  team. If the players can reduce their ego, build a good relationship between themselves, then I believe that madrid's performance will return to stability. Mourinho is an experienced  manager, it is expected that madrid's situation will change. But this is not possible  if the players do not accurate their  mistakes.

Hmmm, that's make sense....!!!!
Toxic relation can distract the teamwork like right now Real Madrid has very toxic relation between each other and that's why they didn't even won any single trophy at this season although they have very good squad depth but still makes no sounds. So it's that they need to work on player relation because individually no players will do it like to win something until they colonial their players in good relation wether it's in dressing room or it's in ground....

Anyway, neo they brought Jose Mourinho and I hope their team will now slowly getting better because I am pretty obvious that Jose Mourinho has intense capacity to treat big eago like in past he already keep so many egos and definitely right now he will also do the same thing.

The way Mourinho is sighing players to Real Madrid currently that will make the players calm there self and respect each other because any players that didn’t do well and misbehave Mourinho will definitely discipline them up so mbappe will maintain well and do the right thing I don’t think they will get any players in Madrid that will misbehave and Mourinho have not done sighing playing yet in Madrid. they still need more players in the club. Many players will leave Madrid soon because they are just sighing more players and no player leave the team just two players and they already old.

Jose Mourinho is not doing the signings because he wants to discipline any the players that will not play according to his instructions he's signing players based on what the team is lacking which is the reason why they were gradually becoming an underdog in the team and in the champions League. Of course Mbappe and the rest of the players will understand the need to behave themselves because Jose Mourinho is a no nonsense coach if they try to challenge him he will take a bold step to humble the such players they already know.

All coaches are emotional, but Mourinho is another level. I recall the day Real Madrid and Benfica played off and Real Madrid had their ways because of referee decisions and he went mad immediately, I think he got card that day but I can't fully remembered how he handled it but he was over reacting that day because he doesn't like it when he is cheated. He will get used to it, he has work here before, he knows what he signed up for before taking the job.

I just hope that Madrid are going to be patience with him, I am equal expecting something from him, since I saw they want to bring in Marc Cucurella, there is nothing this team does lack this season except for the season to start. There will be massive improvement within the players especially the way that forward is not doing well before Arbeloa joined, there should be a permanent fix to that and the back line need better grounding to avoid the last two season mistakes.

I agree with you that teamwork was one of the biggest differences between Barcelona and Real Madrid last season. Barcelona had crazy coordination in their attack, and also their midfield, and their defenders also worked well as a unit, but they were successful because the whole team played together rather than a player trying to outshine or outrank other players within the team or even bringing in personal egos or individual battles with each other onto the pitch, like Vini and Mbappe, as for Real Madrid, I think the areas that need the most work are the midfield and defense and also coordination and their respect for each other. The attack already has enough quality, but the team needs better coordination between the midfield, defense, and forwards. If Mourinho can improve that understanding and get everyone working as one unit, Madrid will be much stronger next season.

It does not mean that he should be selfish actually because that is were team comes in and mbappe and the other players need to do better because the whole blame is going to the boy and the only thing I see here is that the boy is finding a way to build a name for him self and mbappe is good he just needs to fight out other things,  and from him leaving psg to real Madrid is just a lot of drama and since he came to Real Madrid a lot of things have also changed and now what is the way forward because he need to surprise psg by doing better next season and since they have a new coach then we are going to be expecting something different.

If Mourinho can improve that understanding and get everyone working as one unit, Madrid will be much stronger next season.

The problem I have now is that let it not be when the team will be up to standard like unstoppable that is when the president of Madrid will kick Mourinho out and bring in someone else because the way I picture Mourinho at Madrid will be very much different from what Alonso and the former coach Álvaro Arbeloa, these guys put together can't do what the Special one have in store for Madrid so it will be better to let this man stay for as much as he wants, providely that he's getting the job right. For now I believe the target is stopping Barcelona next season and getting all they lost in the last 2 years.
From the attacking department Madrid are good, those guys can cause more problems for oppositions but when they play, is a big mess, no much impact and that is why I'd say the problem they have are the front players, the concentration should be more on the attackers to bring in result, while the midfield is better because they are the back bone of the ship, they are doing the job well, now back to the defense, if not for injuries like I stated before these guys are good to go but a CB is needed for next season because the current ones "some" are very slow in tracking back and doing the needful like Rudiger, we saw him yesterday, lost so much former.

I trust the Special One's methods, on the other hand, Klopp is for a team that should already be perfecting it.

Yes, basically, if Klopp were to coach Real Madrid in the current conditions, it certainly wouldn't be very good. Because fundamentally, the problem Real Madrid currently has is not about strategy or tactics, but about how to make this team work better together. Because, basically, that is the initial foundation that must be fixed so that everything can run more smoothly. Because basically, the players at Real Madrid are all very great, so if they can work well together and can lower their respective egos, Real Madrid's performance will definitely be good.

So, for that reason, Klopp certainly wouldn't be very suitable to take the coaching chair at Real Madrid. Because basically, as we know, he is a bit emotional. So that's why Mourinho was chosen, because basically, when it comes to strategy, I don't think he seems particularly extraordinary. But he is always able to unite the team into a compact, and right now, that's what Real Madrid really needs. So hopefully all of this can work out at Real Madrid.
