La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Iamgoat]

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.

I think, with this coming season, we will be able to see things and judge them clearer. Mbappe is a good finish and has also got the strength of a striker who's just is not only to finish a goal, but to also anchor is way through it whenever it warrants and this is one strong quality of every striker just like we've also see with the Nigerian player called Victor Osimhen but I also want to somehow believe his problem goes beyond the pitch, it is also reflected on what happens at the dressing room and how's able to manage it. Football is not emotional, so when you don't perform well, you don't get the needed results and it has remained like this for the longest of time.

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.

Klopp would be the best option for Real Madrid. Because he doesn’t just put on a show he builds a system. Klopp is just as tough a manager as Mourinho. However, Perez has shown us that he doesn’t want to take risks following a string of unsuccessful seasons. That’s why he chose to work with someone who knows the club well namely, Mourinho. But there’s one thing he’s forgotten. Real Madrid’s squad is a far cry from what it was during the Mourinho era, and we’ll have to wait and see if Mourinho can actually build a solid system with these players.

This isn't a new situation for Real Madrid dealing with Vini especially since he's demanding a higher salary. Usually it's not the player who asks but management must assess Vini's current performance and determine whether it's worth adding the Brazilian. There are many factors to consider as the player has been a consistent contributor to the Real Madrid team for several seasons. We'll have to wait and see what both parties will do after the World Cup.

One reason is that in other positions there are still many players who are persistent in playing in matches. In my opinion Mourinho must address as you mentioned the defense which has been their weak point for several seasons. This will be the coach's first task. I also believe that the coach has already submitted several players to management so the decision rests entirely with management to recruit the players desired by the coach who has managed El Real for several seasons before.

The basic reality is that, he won two UCL with them, and while he is getting paid plenty if you ask me, he also wants to earn as much as Mbappe if not more. Because he believes, Mbappe has not won a single UCL, while Vini won two. And we can even argue that in the last one they won, he was their best player, and they wanted him to even win a Ballon d'or the following year.

So basically speaking, Vini thinks, if a dude with no titles ends up with more money, that makes no sense. I would not argue against it, but with stats like these, then Mbappe looks better than Vini so I understand Real Madrid too.

The first leg of the Malaga v Almeria final ended goalless. Although Malaga, as the home side, had more possession, they simply couldn’t find the goal that would secure victory. I had expected Malaga to win this match, but it must be said that by drawing, they have made their task somewhat more difficult. If Almeria win at home, they will be the team promoted to La Liga. Although Malaga’s chances of winning away are slim, it is still a possibility. We will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of the match and finding out who will be promoted to La Liga.

Klopp may be the best option, but Madrid management wants a manager who knows Madrid very well and has experience. That is why  madrid is very interested in Mourinho. Mourinho may not have been successful with the last few  clubs. But he was a Madrid manager before and won la liga, Supercopa and copa del rey with Madrid. Since he knows Mmdrid's needs very well, it is expected that  he will be able to stabilize Madrid again. Madrid's squad has no  weaknesses. If the understanding between the players  can be improved and the players can be more  confident, their performance will become stable.

If we are talking about a coach who is considered more reliable in the modern era, most people would probably say that Klopp has the advantage. However, the reality is that modern tactics and strategies do not always lead to an improvement in a club's performance.

Madrid's current issue is actually quite simple, having a healthy dressing room atmosphere and strong relationships within the squad can gradually improve the team's performances. In addition, Mourinho is widely recognized as one of the coaches who can build a stronger and more united dressing room. For that reason, Perez might prefer Mourinho over Klopp.

[iamsange]

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.

Mourinho is a very firm coach and will clearly discipline players who don't listen to his instructions. Therefore, players with big egos like Mbappé must behave well and put the team first if they want to remain a core member of Real Madrid. Mourinho was brought in to improve the Real Madrid team, which has been underperforming for the past two seasons. I hope Real Madrid can become stronger again with Mourinho as coach, as he is quite well-known and capable of polishing ordinary players into extraordinary ones.

Malaga or Almeria... Who is it going to be promoting to the La Liga you think? 

The first leg of the finale was played last night and it ended 0-0 at Malaga's stadium. This gives a slight advantage to their opponent.

Almeria are favoured in the second leg but still have odds above 2.00. Malaga can't beat them away for a quite long time. I think Almeria will make it.

I believe that José Mourinho will always be the one to prefer for the job, unless he didn't show interest, for many reasons, even beyond the football. But at this time, it is not about how good a coach is but how the unruly players could cooperate with him. This has been the issue with Real Madrid, and I believe it's beyond the efficacy of a coach or how strict he is, but tactical.

I hope Mourinho, above other things else, use his experience to approach this tactically and psychological to build a good relationship with those big guys, even as he inculcates discipline as well. Real Madrid has a good squad already if they can cooperate and be coordinated. With a little adjustments, I believe they can do better next season.

Why are you doubting Mourinho competency. I don't see any difference in the squad with that of Ronaldo's era because Real Madrid has always maintain the club standard from generation to generation. Mbappe and Vini are there with other quality players which will make it easier for Mourinho to achieve success with these players. Just wait and see. Klopp hasn't coach Real Madrid before and has no experience on their game pattern but Mourinho has.

What concerns me is that Mourinho has changed clubs very frequently in recent years and has achieved very little with most of them. Because of that, I can't really expect him to do something different at Real Madrid and win both the Champions League and La Liga. Maybe if Mourinho doesn't interfere too much with the players and simply focuses on maintaining order and discipline within the squad, they could work well together. But I still have my doubts about that.

I'm putting Almeria is my favorite to go to the La Liga. They have always been doing well when they host Malaga at home. I remember they beat Malaga when they host Malaga last months. So i expect the same output to happen from them. They were not good during the first leg, but let's take it positive they showed a very well defense.
So they will do the same at 2nd leg while they have to go all in to score as well. So they will put more effort to win the game. 2.06 for them feels worthy with the risk.

[Slow death]

Therefore, players with big egos like Mbappé must behave well and put the team first if they want to remain a core member of Real Madrid.

So, if Mbappé only scored one goal in the entire next season, would he be doing a good job for the team? Wouldn't he be viewed negatively by blind and naive people? What is the function of a striker? What coach hires a striker who doesn't score many goals, or what coach likes a striker who doesn't score?

I honestly can't understand some people. Mbappé was the top scorer in La Liga with 25 goals. Since Real Madrid didn't win La Liga, some naive people are blaming only Mbappé as if he were the coach. Since when does Mbappé choose who plays for Real Madrid? Since when does Mbappé decide the Real Madrid lineup? When a team doesn't win anything, it's always the coach's fault.

It doesn't just depend on skill, it depends on many factors in my humble opinion.
A player must have a number of elements, including playing together with the team, that make him not only a good player but also a good teammate.

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

With the appointment of José Mourinho as Real Madrid manager a new era has begun.  José Mourinho is a coach that knows how to handle and discipline players who are selfish in his team, so be it Kylian Mbappé or any other Real Madrid player who chooses to be selfish at Real Madrid next season will have no choice but to be a bench warmer for Real Madrid. José Mourinho is secretly recruiting good players this summer in order for him to have options of replacing any player at Real Madrid.

This is what Perez wants that no player feels bigger than the club, and he brought in Mourinho to be able to solve the ego problems of these star players, because we know how Mourinho's temperament and ego are, I think that these players will think twice if they want to find trouble with him.. we don't need to reveal the names of players with high egos who have been handled by Mourinho, so for next season, Real Madrid players might see a coach they can't underestimate, like what they did to Xabi and Arbeloa before.

I agree with you that a new era for Real Madrid could begin with Mourinho but there could also be a problem with Perez because if the coach does not have the freedom to make important tough decisions, his efforts could be in vain. With the number of star players at Real Madrid, those players may want to enjoy extra individual freedom and if the team management tries to control them by force, it will be more likely to have the opposite result.
José Mourinho needs to make decisions independently and impartially, if he cannot do so, he will face the same consequences as previous coaches because his main responsibility is to improve the team's performance. If he has to make tough decisions in the performance of his duties, he should be given that power.

If the understanding between the players  can be improved and the players can be more  confident, their performance will become stable.

Real Madrid did very well to focus on a player like Mourinho who is a coach who certainly manages to tame the teams he plays for, this is necessary to understand if we can also have new players to insert and it seems to me that the signing campaign has just begun in a great way.

[changaa]

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.

We need a coach with a strong character in my opinion, because he must be able to dominate and calm the spirits within Real Madrid.
Too many internal battles wear down the team which then doesn't perform as it should on the pitch.
It is not an easy challenge, in fact it is perhaps the most difficult.

Maybe if Mourinho doesn't interfere too much with the players and simply focuses on maintaining order and discipline within the squad, they could work well together. But I still have my doubts about that.

I also have doubts in his coaching success of the club. But one thing is sure; the club would not just select him as their most-preferred choice and sign a whole 3-year deal without some calculations and considerations beyond what we consider from the surface. Mourinho is a celebrated coach, and coming to a top league like Real Madrid should be beneficial to both. Also, his stay then in the club as the coach stirred a strong rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona under Pep Guardiola then, and perhaps he can improve on that this time. Maybe the Champions League can also be added, we never can tell.
