La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Gallar]

I was hoping that Xabi could stay longer at Real Madrid but because there were some things that he couldn't solve such as the tension of the players in his team that made him eliminated and besides that there were also some things that were a little tangential so that the management did not allow it, therefore something like that happened, but indirectly that the management saw it more or less like that, previously I strongly disagreed that the coaching fell into the hands of Arbeloa.

Ancelotti did have a lot to do with Real Madrid, but maybe they needed to freshen things up and gamble on new hope, but it didn't work out, that's how I see it.

Well, let's hope so.

Xabi was actually quite good when he was coaching at Real Madrid, because I also saw some positive developments at that time in Real Madrid's game. But unfortunately, Xabi didn't have experience in handling players who had a stubborn nature. So finally Xabi had to tense with those players and for that reason Xabi was fired. Because it seemed like the team management was also more on the side of the players and not on Xabi's side at that time. So actually it was very unfortunate, because basically if Xabi had continued to be maintained until now and the players at Real Madrid could be better in managing their emotions, I am very sure that Xabi would have made Real Madrid even better.

But now it's too late to regret this, so now we just have to see how the new Real Madrid coach, Mourinho, handles a team with players who are quite stubborn. And talking about Ancelotti, it cannot be denied that he is the coach who brought glory to Real Madrid, but that was in the past, and now he is no longer at Real Madrid, so we don't need to focus on Ancelotti at this time, so let him be a beautiful memory for Real Madrid.

Mourinho currently has only one task and that is to best manage these resources which are certainly the best there are around, because Perez certainly doesn't miss anything and invests a lot in the team as he did in the past years and in the golden years so he must take on the role of manager, simple.

Madrid spent so much money on player which Moruinho like the most. But I think the most important thing need in this Madrid squad are slow the ego issue and that's will be sorted only if any one of the big star can leave Madrid whatever it will be vini or Mbappe or any others big star name player. That's the only solutions in mind and hope Moruinho can do the same. They sign some good player this season Bernardo silva , Dumfries, konate, Cucurella's they all are the player which madrid Need at the moment but one thing is missing they don't think about attackers and that's should concerning.

The current problem Madrid lacks is not in the attack but the defence and midfield and it is good that Mourinho sees that and tries to cover those loopholes. After the exit of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, Madrid has lost creativity in the midfield and that has affected their their style of play and subjected it to counter attacks where Vinicius Jnr is most likely to secure the win for the team.

With players like Mbapoe, Vinicius, Rodrigo, Brahim Diaz, Gonzalo Garcia, Mastantuono and the rest, it is a good start for the team. Though it would also be better to have another additional experienced player to the attacking list but that is not the main priority right now.

What I have noticed is that having too much star players in one team is very wrong because they will be in competition within themself and when a team players are in competition within themselves they will never achieve any trophy it is better that you have few star players and the rest are just common and very good talented players in such a setting the team usually do more better.
Real Madrid has a lot of top players and they are in competition within themself and this is a very big problem it takes a very good and Wise manager to come in and manage them very well to achieve a good result.
I trust Mourinho I believe his going to do very well in Real Madrid and his going to achieve good results his an experience player who has coached a lot of star players too so he knows what to do.

What's the competition you're talking about, if they are in competition with themselves as you said then we would've seen a good result, where's the competition, Realmadrid two season ago has be marked with bad performance, not as if I don't understand what you're saying but I think competition in any team should be targeted at getting a good result through good performance, these guys are paid huge amount of money, the budget made for them by the club is too much so I don't think there should be any excuse, having good number of perceived sophisticated players in a team is very good, but it becomes a problem when the manager aren't able to use them very well, Mourinho doesn't take shit from anybody so let's see how some of those players feeling that they all and will behave this time.

[changaa]

he's an extraordinary player and he's proving it in the world championship, sending away such a talent in my opinion is really suicide, something to avoid doing

in fact, in my opinion, Paris Saint-Germain was foolish to give away a pearl like that and I'm not just saying that, the goals they're scoring in the World Cup speak for themselves.

we cannot know the decisions that clubs make, it is decidedly strange that a player like that was sold, but perhaps it wasn't part of the club's plans, having the possibility to decide to bring these talents is sometimes not necessary and then they simply do without him and get rid of him.

[tygeade]

The new manager's job is to lead the team to success. However, I believe Real Madrid's tendency to not give new managers enough time to prove themselves is detrimental. Because Xabi Alonso might have been able to deliver a better performance towards the end of the season, potentially leading Real Madrid to a championship, but I think the management made a big mistake by giving the reins to the less experienced Arbeloa.

This could be a bit different, we could see them do a bit differently and will end up with much better results. I feel like the best case scenario in this case would be that we are dealing with Mourinho staying for a whole season. The previous ones did not work because Xabi was getting in charge right before elections and not doing well, so he was fired because they wanted a better manager right away but they did not find one, Klopp did not accepted, and that's why Perez had to get into elections with an interim.

While that did work out for him because he won the elections, it did not work well for the team. Mourinho can stay for a whole year because even if he he fails, there are no elections so Perez is not in a rush to fire him.

I agree he's talented but Real Madrid loses nothing if they decide to let him leave today. Madrid was doing extremely good before his arrival, I wondered why they even went for him in the first place when they already had alternatives. It has been one problem to another ever since he stepped down in Real Madrid and it has affected their performance as well. PSG made the right decision to let him go in my opinion I don't think they regret making that decision that year. His absence show no sign in PSG as you can see them progressing without him in the squad. I'm not underrating Mbappe by the way, but selling him will never shake Real Madrid in any ways.

Exactly, when you have too many talents what you risk is having many problems, and the problems in this case are many, having the worry of managing them in the best possible way takes away a lot of problems such as those which are destined to improve the team's way of playing.

Is it fair to blame Mbappe for Real Madrid's bad times? I don't think it would be fair at all because his individual performance was good when he was at PSG, as he has been playing brilliantly for Real Madrid in the last two seasons. He is successful in his individual performance, although Real Madrid is not successful as a team. He is doing his job properly in the team.

Mbappe and Vinicius are often criticized, although this is normal because they are the main players of Real Madrid. If they do not do well, it will be difficult for the team to win and the performance of the other players is not very satisfactory. Jose Mourinho, the newly appointed coach of Real Madrid, cannot improve the team if he is dependent on one or two players. For the overall improvement of the team, the focus should be on increasing the team's performance.

It all depends on team management, and that's the coach's responsibility. I also believe Jose Mourinho is capable of managing star players in a team because he's an experienced coach, and he's proven that during his time as Real Madrid manager.
And I can't use that as an excuse, because the reality is that Real Madrid teams have always been filled with star players.

But I think the most important thing need in this Madrid squad are slow the ego issue and that's will be sorted only if any one of the big star can leave Madrid whatever it will be vini or Mbappe or any others big star name player. That's the only solutions in mind and hope Moruinho can do the same. They sign some good player this season Bernardo silva , Dumfries, konate, Cucurella's they all are the player which madrid Need at the moment but one thing is missing they don't think about attackers and that's should concerning.

by spending a lot it is not always possible to find a team that meets expectations, every time i see a great team with a huge wage bill i always think that it will be a very fragile team that has no cohesion and is unlikely to win, one thing is a team created to measure, another it is filled with phenomena for their own sake.

I believe fully Jose Mourinho can manage well the players ego exactly with Real Madrid team how much experienced before become the manager for top team who have many star players from Manchester United, Inter Milan and Chelsea. I don't think so much money spending by Jose Mourinho as usual from the new manager build up the team based on his tactical exactly right now spent around 70 million euro after four players recruitment.

Jose Mourinho still interested head coach for several star players how free agent players Bernando Silva and Ibrahima Konate priority moving to Madrid after their contract expiring and Bernando Silva rumor will play for Barcelona but prefer moving to Madrid with new head coach Jose Mourinho.

[wakier]

I wonder if Mbappe was still at PSG since 2 seasons ago whether PSG could have won both prestigious titles, Mbappe had been waiting for it for a long time and he decided to move to Real Madrid to make it easier to get the UCL title but it turned out to be that difficult, whether he was unlucky or he moved at the wrong time, Real Madrid before his arrival looked very strong and won the UCL and La Liga but after he came even the domestic title could not be obtained I myself do not understand whether it was a kind of curse as people say or was just unlucky.

If you have something and you can't use it properly, then I wouldn't say you have it, I will say you lack it that's why they couldn't win the league. They don't have defensive players, it was obvious they don't but the attack they have, there is no coach in Real Madrid that has been able to do that comfortably, Anceloti couldn't manage Mbape, Vinicious and Rodirigo, Xabi almost cut out Rodirigo and wasn't using it and Arbeloa never like Mbape but didn't have choice but to force him.

Mourinho should do better on how to handle Mbape and Vinicious, there can't be two goal scorer in the attack. One most provide more assist than scoring but Vinicious and Mbape want to do the same job. One person have to make some sacrifice for the club. Like the world cup I have seen so far, Mbape has proved to the world that he is no 9 and he scored 2 goals, Vinicious played win for Brazil and he score one beautiful goal for Brazil, two of them want to be leading and it's not possible.

[len01]

I believe fully Jose Mourinho can manage well the players ego exactly with Real Madrid team how much experienced before become the manager for top team who have many star players from Manchester United, Inter Milan and Chelsea.

When it comes to experience, there's no doubt about it. But in terms of tactics and strategy, there are still some questions. We all know that football has moved into the modern era, and some Madrid fans (myself included) are still a bit unsure whether oldschool tactics can help Madrid win titles today. That said, the fans have no choice but to wait and see how Mourinho starts the new season. If things don't go according to expectations, I think a lot of people will criticize him.

[Ahli38]

Mbappe is a very talented player in the world football he is very strong and experienced one and I think with all these goodies he is also a very mature player who always prioritise his team's benefit. And Mourinho is one of the top coach in this field he is famous for his tactical style of managing the team with good position. This is true that they both talented persons never worked before together and it is first time that Mbappe will play under the supervision of Mourinho. And Mourinho often used very good words in fact he praises Mbappe several times for his talent and all his potentiall. So, i think no one will create any difficulties for each other and Mbappe is a very sincere player of his team he will never want that his team will not achieve anything good just because of him

he's an extraordinary player and he's proving it in the world championship, sending away such a talent in my opinion is really suicide, something to avoid doing

in fact, in my opinion, Paris Saint-Germain was foolish to give away a pearl like that and I'm not just saying that, the goals they're scoring in the World Cup speak for themselves.

Paris Saint-Germain had their reasons for letting Mbappé go. And they reportedly experienced some conflict toward the end of his contract there. But PSG was fortunate because they were able to navigate their seasons successfully even without Mbappé. He is in fact a goal-scoring machine who could perhaps be compared to Cristiano Ronaldo at a similar age. But Mbappé’s challenge lies in finding the right approach to maximize his performance on the field. He needs a coach who can harness his full potential. Real Madrid will now be led by their new coach José Mourinho. And I’m confident that Mourinho will maximize Mbappé’s performance in the upcoming season just as he once turned Cristiano Ronaldo into a goal-scoring machine for Real Madrid. Look at how great Mbappé is even though many believe his performance has declined. His name is still listed as the top scorer in the 2025/2026 Champions League. The same goes for La Liga 2025/2026. So I personally believe that Mbappe still needs to adjust to find chemistry with his teammates in order to improve their performance. And Mbappe still has many seasons ahead of him to prove it as long as he remains under contract with Real Madrid.

[Not your key not your BTC]

Real Madrid's transfers show that they will be in a very strong position in the Spanish league next year. Not only in Spain, but also in the Champions League, because the players they've signed completely fill the gaps in their squad. Mourinho seems to have analyzed Real Madrid well. I think he's placed the best options in their weak areas. Considering the quality players already in the squad, he already has the players he wants to make the changes he desires next year from his extensive roster.

Yes, Real Madrid doesn’t want to end next season without a trophy, just like the past two seasons. That’s why Real Madrid is making major changes to be stronger in all competitions. Of course, Mourinho has already identified Real Madrid’s weaknesses, which is why he’s urging management to sign the players he wants to strengthen the areas that have long been Real Madrid’s weak spots. So far, Real Madrid has signed four players, three of whom are defenders. I don’t think Real Madrid is done with its player acquisitions yet, and they will certainly sign more new players. Let’s see who else Real Madrid will bring in to build a formidable squad.

Many top players do not have the Champions League title, for example Ibrahimovic. Surprising, right? If you look at his career, he's played for a huge number of top teams. There is another, more shocking example (which young football fans are 100% unaware of): Ronaldo (the Brazilian) does not have a Champions League title! Mbappe appears ready to repeat his path: becoming a two-time world champion but failing to win the Champions League

Yes. I even believe that having more stars is actually better for a team chances of winning titles and we can't deny that Real Madrid has always had many stars. So, Madrid failure in the past two seasons isn't due to having too many star players but because they haven't found the right coach. Alanso and Albeloa may not be bad coaches but they aren't yet qualified to coach a team filled with so many stars.

Meanwhile, Mourinho is used to coaching teams with many stars, especially as you mentioned. During his time at Real Madrid, he successfully managed and controlled star players with his decisiveness. So, Perez hopes to bring Mourinho back to Madrid because for Perez given Madrid current situation they need a coach who is respected by the players and can inspire them to compete for trophies.

I think that he was not unlucky and that he was a big problem in PSG. As soon he left the club dembele started shining and the team got organised so I don’t know whether that is luck or he was the main problem. Mbappe had good performances in PSG not that he played bad but i think His playing well was the problem. The main focus was on Mbappe and he would do everything to get the ball and he was in the main spotlight which stopped other players from performing really well.

[Webutxo]

Stars doesn't win the league, people who are hungry with success and know how to form a good team can be win anything they want. PSG are good example and I'm not even trying to make any of this Mbape or some usual comparison, that team is an example of quality players without having much noise, even Bayern is one of the most quality players but because some teams have won the Champions League many times, they think everything revolve around them.

Mourinho just had one job and those are the signs we are seeing on the media since last 2 weeks. He has signed good players, I'm very sure they are not done because the entire back line that many has complain about is what he need to fix for the team and then he can come back and find a way to make that exaggeration of players stop, this star this is becoming an opium that has been deceiving most of this players for years now and none had won a single Balon D'or.
