La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[cxtreenal]

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.

Lately, in fact, what worries me and what should also worry Real Madrid is precisely this, the poor results of this coach, even if his figure more than for the results is for the management of the team and the players who are not adapting, and who do the wrong things.

Mourinho is still a new coach for Real Madrid and he probably hasn't started yet. But he will have plenty of time to analyze and get the team in a disciplined position. The players are busy playing for their countries in the World Cup.
Mourinho is very experienced and prudent as a coach and he will definitely be able to get the Real Madrid team in a good position. It takes mental strength to manage and motivate the players. Maintaining the team's discipline is an important responsibility of the players and it would be wise not to allow any laxity in this regard.

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.

When compared to some other great coaches for the Modern era today maybe Mou is still below some of the coaches who are currently on the rise but he has a characteristic and Madrid is not a new club for him so the concern is too great for a Mou who has even just started back in Madrid and has not played it too much.

He's always had the right methods to coach big clubs even though his prime has passed in the past few seasons but he's still capable enough for me to still be able to compete in the current era.
At the moment Mou has started to try to reshuffle the squad according to his wishes and we need to see if this reshuffle will end well next season or just make this the same as before because criticizing before starting is not too ethical.

For the problem of internal conflicts, especially management matters, I think it returns to the authority of the club not the coach but if it deals with players such as the level of ego and some other disputes I think with Mou's experience he can still reduce and minimize this happening again.

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.

I can't agree with you less on this. Mbappe truly is highly egoistic. I may not want to say he's egotistic too but he is definitely high on his ego making it difficult for him to break some records. For example, when you have the likes of Ronaldo and Messi who have tried so hard to manage their ego, it should be done on you, football goes beyond the talent and the skills, it also consists of the consistency and the characteristics an individual is able to keep if you want to last long reigning. At some point some said Ronaldo is full of ego, but many would later agree with me Ronaldo was also a very cool guy who was bold and athletic. Mbappe needs to emulate some of those characters too.

Amongst other things his ego and pride will be his downfall, there was a time we thought he would be the next big thing after Messi and Ronaldo. Now this guys have left Mainstream football and he’s still not taking center stage instead he’s in the news or media for the wrong reasons he has to do more than that with his discipline.
I don’t know who needs to tell him this considering he’s friends with the France president, I think that gets to his head too but maybe Real Madrid signing Jose Mourinho is the perfect thing.

[$weetne$$]

the point is not to be strict, it is to set limits and respect the roles of others, this is very important because in a team it is also important to have hierarchies, once upon a time no one would ever have allowed themselves to say things to the coach or question his work, in this case there must be more respect which is missing in Real Madrid..

It felt like at a time in Madrid, the players were giving so much of leverage and they never understood the boundaries that does comes with such leverage and so they just got the free hand and related with the coach just the way they wanted but that we believe will no longer be the case after now as they have a new coach who will re spell those boundaries and keep them all in check.

[SquallLeonhart]

Mourinho was brought in exactly for this reason. Not for his abilities as a manager to be fair, because that has been going down and becoming bad for a long time now, so there are no expectations of him being a great tactician or anything like that. He is brought in because Perez believed that players are getting out of hand and Mourinho is the one who can reel them back in.

This ego problem could only be solved by a manager that has even bigger ego than the players and he will discipline them. I am not sure if it will work, I have always believed that it will not work, but I also believed Xabi at Real Madrid would be amazing and Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich was a mistake and yet we saw that both of those were wrong, so we will have to wait and see.

[hyudien]

But compared to Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. is the one who has been at Real Madrid the longest and has contributed the most to Real Madrid in winning many titles. The club should try to keep him and give him what he wants. It's not fair if the player who has contributed the most since the beginning has to receive a lower salary than the new player even though we also know that Mbappe is a great player but Vinicius is also a great player. If I were Real Madrid, losing him would be a big loss if he doesn't sign his contract he will leave as a free transfer and I'm sure there will be many clubs ready to accept him.

It's not a question of fair or unfair, Mbappe came for free to the bernabeu in his golden years, so it's only fair that he gets a high salary. It's like, “ok I didn't buy you at a fantastic price, but the fantastic money I didn't spend I will spend on your salary” and as far as I know Madrid management will indeed raise Vini, although as far as I know it is still not equivalent to Mbappe salary but the difference is close, unlike the current salary difference which is around 10 to 12 million euros, if Vini wants the same salary, then this is no longer a matter of wanting a salary increase but also a matter of prestige from Vini.

Madrid have changed their manager at the right time. The season has just  ended. Mourinho has plenty of time to research and  work on the squad. If Mourinho does the research properly and can  identify Madrid's weaknesses, he will be able to stabilize madrid next season. Mourinho is an experienced coach  and has been involved with big clubs before. This is not Mourinho's first time in the madrid dressing  room. So it seems that madrid's performance will be stronger with Mourinho's help  next season.

You’re right. Madrid has a lot of good players but the only thing stopping them is the ego problem. If players have egos then they can’t play as a team and they play for themselves which destroys team chemistry and balance. Every player works to outshine other in his team and in the middle no one benefits, not the team nor the player. So madrid fans should hope mourinho solves this problem. He will either solve it or increase it futher.

I think the team needed a coach who was capable of managing it. Jose Mourinho might be able to fill that need. This is not the first time he has been in the Real Madrid dressing room, he has coached the club before. When a club has many star players, there is a kind of competition between them to improve their performance or personal problems. The mutual competition and jealousy between the players harms their performance, and the club also suffers. Real Madrid has the same problem and Mourinho will try to bring Real Madrid back to its previous form with his experience.

Did you say Mourinho is anew coach for Real Madrid or he was given another contract to govern the team, he is a legend like the way Zidane has done for Real Madrid. In fact, the only difference between him and Zidane is that they both have work for Real Madrid, Zidane has made two appearance as the coach and won league titles while Mourinho is coming back for the second time and he will need something to show his gratitude for working with Perez again.

Those 4 signed players are not coming to dance, they are coming to work with him and good thing about Mourinho is that if he doesn't need you, there is no way you will be signed but if he needs you, he will signed you and he will give you that time to do something he want you to do. That's the good side of him but he is short tempered person when things aren't going well but who cares about his tempered if he will make Real Madrid fans happy once again.

Mbappe is definitely a great player and every football fan thinks that Mbappe will fill the place after Messi and Ronaldo, but we are seeing something different now, right now Lamine Yamal is taking the place after Messi and Ronaldo. Although there is still time for Mbappe, if he does not play one-sidedly then maybe there is still time for his name to be on top in the future. Hopefully we will not see something like this next season that we saw this season.

In the national team, we see Mbappe playing together with his teammates. I think he rarely does such one-sided things in the national team

So you mean that Mourinho was not brought to Real Madrid to win trophies? Did you think if Mourinho was not brought to Real Madrid to win trophies every fans will accept his coming back to the club? Perez knows what he is doing and bringing Mourinho back to Real Madrid is going to make the team to win a trophy, although if you say we should not expect much from him i will not oppose you but saying that Mourinho was only brought back to Real Madrid to control the ego of the players and for what is happening to the team is not the only reason, Real Madrid needs Mourinho but Mourinho also needs Real Madrid because he thinks he has not succeed at Real Madrid, Mourinho want to win a Champions league trophy for Real Madrid and retire from coaching and if we all remember when he was announced as Real Madrid coach Fabrizo make a statement that Mourinho coaching career is going to end at Real Madrid.

Benzema was playing one-sidedly. Is the problem with Mbappe? He's a true number nine, so when he has the ball he only thinks about scoring, and he does the right thing. He could make better use of opportunities at times. Looking at the whole game, Lamine Yamal is a much higher-level talent. Mbappe is the top scorer every season, he's a very good goalscorer. He can't replace Cristiano Ronaldo, that's for sure.

I strongly believe Jose Mourinho on that, he will definitely bring balance to the team, every other players should enjoy their ego while it last because when once the 2026/2027 Spanish La Liga campaign starts every player that misbehave will be put to where he belongs, I trust him on that one no doubt, and again they are yet to sign the €150m player as promised by Florentino Perez during his campaign, so I believe they will be using this time to scout the player that should be worth that price, or should we just take it as a normal political promise for election.

Mbappe has the ability to score a lot. He has  been the top scorer in most of the seasons we have seen in the last few seasons. He scored a  lot of goals in two seasons with Madrid. But madrid could not win any title. Although he is successful individually, madrid is not successful as a team. Looking forward to see if mbappe can adapt himself to mourinho's match tactics next season. If Mbappe can change his behaviour , there is no doubt that madrid's attack  will  be stronger.

You’re right, and I agree with you. Mbappé needs to put his ego aside and play as part of the team on the field. Mbappé is a player with extraordinary talent, but because he often lets his ego get in the way, both on and off the field, he has held himself back from becoming the best player in the world. If only he hadn’t let his ego get in the way last season and Real Madrid had won La Liga or the Champions League, he might have had a great chance of winning the Ballon d’Or.

Mourinho should adapt a good team game instead of one targeting Mbappe most of the time. We already know he is capable of scoring a lot of goals in a season.

But just because one of your players have your goal load in this way it doesn't guarantee your achievement as well.    If Real Madrid learn to play better as a team then they can play for the La Liga title seriously.

Each time I read about this Kylian Mbappe ego thing, I assume it's coming from people whose dislike for the France superstar are greater than their admiration for him. Mbappe have been painted to be that guy that wants to outshine his teammates at all times even when I don't think it's true. In that last two seasons, he's been the most potent player in the team and he's always created chances for his teammates to score when necessary. He's a striker and in few occasions, he's expected to be selfish with the ball, that doesn't mean that he has ego. He's not the reason Real Madrid didn't win any major trophy in tge last two seasons, Real Madrid didn't win because the whole team underperformed.

[Alex077]

Mbappe truly is highly egoistic.
snip
Mbappe needs to emulate some of those characters too.

Hmm you are right, ego is ending his legacy. Flashy at Real but inconsistent in working time. No problem, now that Mourinho is in charge. who is he? A master at crushing egos,,

Actually it goes without saying that dressing room will have fireworks. Lets see how they adapt to the new regime. Becsuse egoistic players do not change quickly

Mourinho knows the existing problem

I'm more encouraged by his plans to address the endless injury problems plaguing Real Madrid's players.

Really nice to hear, he will enter and fix the injury problem. But look at their previous record, it is telling otherwise. Yes, Mourinho is a motivator and tactician. But he is not a magician of medical team,,

On the other hand Madrids injury mess is not something new. It is a well know issue for years. So a new coach will not magically restore health condition. After witnessing them drop points due to squad rotation last year. Now we have to observe them at the beginning of the season.

Mbappe is a very good player and I believe everyone knows that already and we also know that Mourinho is also a very good coach, and again Mbappe really wants to lift the Champions League title so I believe he will work with the coach so he can achieve that. I don’t think he would be a problem to the coach. I believe his going to support the coach and make sure that the team do better. I think he will make sure that the team work together to achieve good results he has seen that without togetherness the team will not achieve anything good, he has been in Real Madrid for a very long time now without winning any trophy and they are already mocking him because since he lift PSG, PSG has now lifted two champions league titles, so Mbappe will work with Mourinho very well to achieve trophies.
