La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Youngrebel]

A coach’s harshness toward their players rarely leads to good results. I much prefer the approach of Guardiola or Klopp. In my view, they are emotionally balanced people who know how to work with a team. When a coach adopts a tougher approach, even temporarily, the relationship between the coach and the players can deteriorate.

With a club like Real Madrid, which has many star players, this could even lead to conflicts. We saw something similar at Manchester United with Amorim, where Rashford was eventually forced to leave. So it is possible that something similar, could also happen at Real Madrid in the near future.

There is actually since in what you have just said but I feel it actually depends on the players and the kind of situation they find themselves, looking at a coaches like Guardiola and Koop build a good relationship with their players, but then they are  also coaches that are strict but even at that they achieve their aim. But tho so many star players also respect their coach who are knowns what they are doing, know how to coach and always capable of winning. The main thing is just have authority and a good means communication.

[Webutxo]

I don't think Real Madrid president will even try it to sack Mourinho to replace him with another coach, because the coach keep signing potential players that will not hard Real Madrid to sell in case they want to release them for sale. When I was listening to Real Madrid coach speech concerning next season, he was very bold in his speech that what happened this season will not going to repeat itself again.

Many clubs are waiting for Real Madrid president to pronounce their coach release, that is when you will see clubs that will be coming after the coach, because they know that the coach have experience to build players to begin to display well to secure good result in the future.

Then it seems you don't know Perez enough to make such kind of decisions. It might not get to that stage where they will sack him, Mourinho knows better the consequences of the team and how bad the team has become over the years, he know exactly what need to be done to win something for the club that's why he has signed 4 players under 1 month and this players were signed with less money. In fact he has spent less than the amount Barcelona used to buy a single player.

If the team comes back in the new season, I mean the old players, they will reset their head. He has been in the club, he was the one that brought kaka and Ronaldo that year and he succeeded, those ones that has refused to do what's necessary in the club will have no choice than to play better. In fact, the signing of these players by Mourinho will send message to the rest of the players that he is not here to play this season, he want to win everything.

There is actually since in what you have just said but I feel it actually depends on the players and the kind of situation they find themselves, looking at a coaches like Guardiola and Koop build a good relationship with their players, but then they are  also coaches that are strict but even at that they achieve their aim. But tho so many star players also respect their coach who are knowns what they are doing, know how to coach and always capable of winning. The main thing is just have authority and a good means communication.

I completely agree with you. We have seen Guardiola and Klopp, their relationship with the players in the  squad is sweet. They can mix with the players like friends  and the players also respect them enough. They  can love the players and even be strict when necessary. But not all  managers have such qualities. Then there are  some players who think they are too important. Mbappe is one of them. He is a good  player. The most important player  in the squad. That is why he has a big ego. But if Mbappe could have built a good relationship with everyone, maybe Madrid's situation would have been a little  stronger.

[RockBell]

mbappe is certainly a player who, if placed at a good level, can change everything, but he must also not always put himself at the center of attention, he must also sacrifice himself for the whole team and put himself in a position of sacrifice even if he doesn't like playing in certain areas of the pitch, but he must.

And from the last World Cup, we all saw how active Mbappe was and the way the young player was catching the eye of people, and if people will start hating on him, I won't believe because the way he was after building his career, everyone loved that about him, and now it seems like everyone his hating on him and some people are even calling him selfish and now his gradually losing relevance in that club because at some point he was finding it hard to even score goals.

But I just wish the young man gets back on his feet because the coming back of Mbappe is going to be bad, and that is what we are looking up to, and that is what we want to see, and the position his playing is also affecting his performance, and that is what I want us to know. it has affected his productivity.

I think everyone in the world knows that Mbappé's biggest problem is his ego, but someone needs to tell him. Maybe he needs help with that. If Mbappé can manage his ego, there's no doubt he'll be the best player in the world. He needs to overcome his ego both in France and at Real Madrid.

Everyone loves him before the world cup but the signs were there that he is not competent like then before he went for the world cup. He doesn't want to assist other players in his lane, this why Messi had more supports in PSG compare to goals he made over the years. When Mbape came back, obvious other players were not interested in PSG and they left, he became what he fear and the club wasn't having it and he left without looking back again.

The same thing he did last two season, he is good that people do praised him very well but all thare are no longer there since he won nothing but goals. I saw his interview some hours ago that he will start defending to help other players soon and that's what he will be doing in the world cup too but I guess he got the message of Mourinho on how he is bringing more players to the club, the manager don't want to see that entitlement in football anymore from next season, I think that's what triggered him to say such in the interview.

It is easy story to tell that Real Madrid issues come from Mbappe attitude but this is not that simple as well. Man-management is not just about being sweet or pals with the players, it is  about managing big personalities and keeping them off of each other nerves. Why coach like Klopp or Guardiola works isn't down to personalities, it is down to game system. If Madrid is low on balance, it will be because with bittersweet attitude, everything had to be put together overnight with new players added and that means that togetherness cannot be reached. It is not like that is unusual at this stage for player to get to this point and think big of himself. It is job of coaching staff to deal with that and make that player into team with winning, not without fighting.

I think by now he should have known this, and if he has not known this then he won’t go far in football anymore, no player will like to contribute to the success of a player that has ego and pride, if only he can be humble and work together with other of his teammates then he will succeeded.
With the new coach that Real Madrid has signed I think his going to learn to work with his team mates and stop playing a selfish football, I trust the coach and what he can do to any player that refuses to obey his introductions.
I know that the dream of Mbappe right now is to lift the champions league and also the ballon d’Or and trust me he can’t achieve all this if he don’t work together with his teammates, let’s see what Real Madrid will be up to next season because they have made a lot of good reliable signings.

[Marykeller]

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 don't think that Mourinho will give up so easily, on the contrary he will do everything to manage this team as best as possible, we know the special one well, and in terms of tactics and respect he is second to none, i also understand that this will be very difficult if all the players start to hinder the work they have set out to do.

Mourinho knows the existing problem hovering in Real Madrid team for long. He's there to fix things and to make Real Madrid to win trophies as they have known in the past.

Those players feeling like demigod in Real Madrid, Mourinho will make sure they are being humbled, by the time he is done leaving them on bench for long. Mourinho has ones being the Real Madrid coach, so, he gats the management backing on this one, for no Real Madrid players to be bigger the club.

I don't believe being harsh on players can make then get more serious and play good football, no it doesn't work that way this days, just like you guys have listed Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, we all can see it's because of how friendly these two was towards their players that make the players want to give in their best to play for them, now let's take a look at Ruben Amorim of Manchester United, he was trying to be mean with the players now look what happened, they players he couldn't use to win was the same players Michael Carrick use to conquer, and if you look closely you will see the kind of good relationship he is with the players, so a good relationship really matters with players and coaches.

I know this is just the Laliga thread so is not fully related to the Spain national team but damn man i cant understand how the Spanish national team cant beat the super weak team of Cape Verde is just incredible how this happen, from one side i cant believe it but from the other side im happy since we saw the magic of football happening again im refering to the poor one beating the super strong one.

[GbitG]

I know Perez will definitely give some more time to Jose Mourinho if he didn't made any progress in next season because have strong believe on him like they really knew that only Jose Mourinho is the man to rescue the team from bad toes. Initially Jose Mourinho will took little time to understand the players speciality and after that he will try to implement his own tactics and instructions on them and ultimately team will slightly rise into better gear.....

Current signing of Real Madrid is really figure out that Jose Mourinho has a big intentions for the team as well as club are also tie their hope on him and that's why Perez are singing those players which Jose Mourinho like the most. So their end result will definitely be absolutely phenomenal. However let's see what happens next.

It happens, what you are watching is football and the unexpected is bound to happen, both sides started with 11 men on the pitch and it ended that way, sometimes big names and players don't affect the outcome of the game. There is still opportunity for Spain to qualify, this is not the end, only that group which they find themselves is a difficult one, other good countries are also competing for qualification.

[Obari]

José Mourinho have the upper hand here, he's making sure Real Madrid have a solid defendlines because that have been their major problem this season. If you're following up Real Madrid, one will notice they've been really challenging and scoring goals was never a problem for them because they got a well formidable attack line but the defendlines was the problem, they conceded goals and the ones that was totally unnecessary.

With josé Mourinho in charge, I believe Real Madrid will bounce back to winning ways and he will also control the dressing room because the players have been really blowing things out of proportion. Real Madrid will compete next season for the La Liga title and also other elite titles.

That close relationship between players and the coach means a lot when it comes to the performance of the team. And as a coach, if you want the team to do well, you need to carry everyone along, even though you have some players who are very good.

Football is teamwork, and to make the players perform and learn what you want them to do is to carry everyone along. Coaches like Pep Guardiola and Klopp are the kind of coaches who are so close to the players, which encourages the players to try to give their best.

Perez is 79 and he can't wait forever. He is well known for making tough decisions when nobody expects them and it will be no different with Mourinho. If Mourinho doesn't deliver and it's not nice to watch football either, he will be gone after one season. There is no reason why MPerez would give Mourinho more time than he gave others. Real Madrid is one of the clubs that I think have fired coaches when everybody thought they wouldn't.

These clubs like Real Madrid don't want coaches who need time and the fans have no time. A season without a title is a worst case scenario and it's unimportant whether the coach only had one season time. If you buy a Ferrari and the seller tells you it could take a year or two until it reaches full horse power and speed, you would shake your head.

[Tamaperdana]

I think everyone in the world knows that Mbappé's biggest problem is his ego, but someone needs to tell him. Maybe he needs help with that. If Mbappé can manage his ego, there's no doubt he'll be the best player in the world. He needs to overcome his ego both in France and at Real Madrid.

Yes, I think it's no longer a secret, because basically Mbappe has had a long career in the world of football, so of course everyone already knows about his ego problem. Besides, I think Mbappe himself must also be aware of his ego, but it seems he has no intention of changing at all because maybe he feels that what he did was not wrong. So that's why I think Mbappe must realize that his ego really needs to be suppressed and cannot be allowed to continue. Because sooner or later it could destroy his career.

Because basically, even though he does have quite good performance, but if his ego is still not under control, it will definitely be a big obstacle for him to be able to develop further. So, hopefully in this World Cup, Mbappe can become a more mature player. Because he can't continue like this, especially now that he has enormous responsibilities at Real Madrid and the French national team. Therefore, Mbappé can't let his ego control him any longer.

In my opinion, I don't think there's anything wrong with the current squad except for leadership failure within the team and the management which is why the club seems to be underperforming in the last couple of seasons.
Florentino Perez knows this and that is why he decided to contract Jose Mourinho in order to help bring back the players up to speed and to also bring back the spirit of competition within the squad, which I believe the club lacks right now. Although the new additions to the teams is also a plus.

Order need to be restored into the team and the lack of playing as a unit is one of the major problem Madrid faced in the last 2 seasons so if this isn't sorted out I believe they'd be running in circles of confusion because as a team if you don't change whatever makes you drop in form then you should be ok with failing while others are progressing constantly. Mourinho seems to be the eyes that will put back knowledge into the team based on his experience so this will work if the changes are made. The players that joined will learn things in a different way because it will be a little bit hard to make them start acting against the manager that's if that should happen because as it stands is like some persons have their own disciples like the dressing room is divided for real and they need someone like Mourinho like we said and he might not even do much and everybody will just fall in line.

I understand what you mean but let's not forget that every club wants to win the Champions League but only one will succeeded at the end. That means every season we have 6-7 big clubs that won't win the trophy. What should they do? Should they all change the manager? It wouldn't make sense. Fans can complain all they want but unfortunately many of them don't understand how football works.

We all know that Mbappe is an arrogant player, he shows only arrogance in both Real Madrid and France. I think the reason why Mbappe does this is because he won the World Cup for the first time playing for the French team, which is why he still carries that pride. However, although his current performance is good, it is not good for the team at all, because a team goes to a bad position. If Mbappe wants to move forward by suppressing his arrogance, then of course it is good for the team and he will also be selected as the best player in the world, but if he has so much arrogance, it will never be possible. If he compromises with France and Real Madrid and plays in a friendly manner with each player, then the teams will definitely form a good position team and he will be the best player.
