La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[banana33]

That's what happens when you have star players on your team. Things like that will arise because both Mbappé and Vinicius feel they are the best, and if not managed well, it will create conflicts of interest and competition that can affect the team's performance.
And I think Perez already understands this, which is why he immediately acted and gave them space to reconcile, and called in Mourinho to manage these high-egos. So this will not drag on and continue to be a problem that could affect the team's performance since they are both important players for Real Madrid.

Mbappé and Vinicius feel they are the best and want them to always be treated with kid gloves, but due to their behavior they are putting the whole team to the test, with the results that are sometimes very wrong, this does not bring any advantage, on the contrary, it only leaves them in even more trouble.

[Volgastallion]

The main problem between Mbappe and Vinicius are their egos and how they battle with it we all know they are both some of the greatest and best players of the world in this moment, but we also know that is not enough to have a team who is a champion, when you build a team sometimes is much importanter to have some chemistry between players than have talented players.

[Obim34]

you say that they will never let him go, but we don't know if he will actually have problems with mou, who is a coach with a very particular character, and who above all commands respect, so i don't think that in the end he will be able to escape mou's control, neither mbappe nor vinicius, this is a certain thing.

If Vinicius couldn't disrespect Ancelotti, I doubt if he will by any chance try to disrespect Mourinho. Both Mourinho and Ancelotti are like fathers to most players, they are in no way closer by age gap and considering that they've better and more stubborn players than either Mbappe or Vinicius, they simply can't display nonsense characters under his management.

Having problem with Mourinho is automatically losing your spot, he won't try to sell you, he will bench you with fewer minutes and the player will force himself to be sold, these players knows whom to disrespect.

If Mourinho wants him on the team, i do not think Madrid will be willing to let him go, understanding Mourinho may actually not be the problem but at a point the problem is going to be with abiding or staying under his rule because he is the kind of coach that takes charge and does not allow the players to be messy around on the team. if both vini and mabappe will still be on the team, they will get to a point they will have no choice but to stay by Mourinho rule.

It's only ego when it cannot be tamed, I feel people especially players can play with anybody regardless of there popularity If they have something in common that they aim to accomplish, hence when players come to there National team, they even end up  playing with there rivals but since they have something they are fighting for, you don't see that dispute.

Real Madrid just needs to enact that feeling on Mbappe and Vinicius and Mourinho will do just that

[giorgione]

Mbappe is a truly amazing talent. I agree with you. I became a fan of his the first day I saw him play because I saw his speed and his desire to score goals. Even in these difficult times for Real Madrid, he has been the top scorer in the last two seasons. If the entire team does not contribute and most of the players are in bad form, it becomes difficult for that team to move forward. Mbappe is performing brilliantly individually but it would not be fair to blame him if the team cannot perform well.

I have never seen such a strong player after Ronaldo or Messi, he is truly the future of this sport even if lately he seems to have gone to his head a bit at Real Madrid, but i must say that he is truly sublime when he plays, if he finds the right form there is no one for anyone he could even win the World Cup this year!

To complicate matters further, Atletico Madrid has told Alvarez they don't want to sell him to Barcelona. This was evident a few weeks ago when PSG tried to sign him but Alvarez Julian refused. Arsenal were also interested in him, but Alvarez also refused to negotiate with them, all of whom wanted to wait for Barcelona. Furthermore, Atletico Madrid also seems to be sticking to its high price tag and perhaps Atletico Madrid is willing to let Alvarez sit on the bench for the entire season.

more than anything else Alvarez and Atletico Madrid should always find a way to manage the matter better, instead these teams always find a way to put a spoke in the wheels of the players who want to leave, but why not gain from a transfer rather than doing damage and gaining nothing.

[slapper]

Real Madrid had a disappointing season as a team, and the selfish behavior of many players further exacerbated this failure. Every team that played against Real Madrid strived to perform at their best, but Real Madrid couldn't showcase their own style of play and couldn't achieve their goals this season. It's not easy for a team to perform at the highest level every season, so Real Madrid's poor performance this season is a natural part of football.

If Real Madrid improves its team play, it will start the new season much stronger.

Mourinho just said players with Ego are the ones that are good to work with indirectly saying Mbape and Vinicious thing is good. I know he is saying it to let the people say what they want to say and he also acknowledge the old players that he is going to include everyone in his start, with this moves I'm seeing, I hope this is not another manager been controlled by Perez. As much as they will use this players, there is need fot strictness to put everyone in form.

There is personal lesson learnt from the players their self, they did what was no productive and it affected them including their performance as many of them will not win a single personal trophy in any events. So next season, they will work in a way that they will win one or two leagues next season so the team can come back to form or even better play the leagues and win anyone they perform. They have anything a team need to win their domestic leagues or champions league.

Mbappé scored 42 goals this season. Won the Pichichi, Champions league Golden Boot. Vinicius was the best ball carrier in Europe. Statistically the most dangerous man with the ball at his feet on the entire continent. And they won nothing. No trophies at all. For two consecutive seasons. So when you say "they learned their lesson", did they? It never was a talent issue. It was never about quality.

The front three were, virtually, unwilling to defend. And I do not mean "they tracked back less than ideal". MbappE's defensive numbers were so low they are almost fictional. The midfielders had to back them up so much that Camavinga's body simply could not take it. Three injuries, complete tendon tear, did not even make France's World Cup squad. When two front-men refuse to run, that is what happens

And the fights. Individuals tend to overlook how it was not solely one incident. Valverde and Tchouameni went at it for TWO DAYS straight. Valverde ended up in hospital with stitches. Rudiger and Carreras had their own thing. Mbappe took the press conference calling himself the fourth-choice striker. Four red cards in two Champions League matches.

Mourinho will have six weeks to do that. I am not confident. But I am not giving up on it, either.

From success of Dembele and PSG, failures of Mbappe and Real Madrid two latest seasons, I guess it should be right time for Mbappe to think about his playing style and how it affects the team. If he wants to not only win matches, but also winning big titles, he must change his playing style and contribute more to the club defense.

At the front line, when he does not have ball, when his team are not attacking, he still needs to chase the ball for proactively contribute for the team defense. It will help his team breaking attacks of opponents very early or at least slow it down, hence midfielders and defenders can have several seconds to structure the defensive system. Sometimes it can help the team controlling the ball, and doing counter attacks very quickly and dangerously.

There is no way Perez would allow Jose Mourinho to have the right to make all the decisions to change players that are helpful to the team at this critical time, Vinicious Junior is an important player in Real Madrid if he has personal issues with Jose Mourinho he won't ask trh management to allow him to go unless the player decides to go. Real Madrid is not one of those small teams where you think a coach will wake up one morning and decide to sell a particular player because he has personal beef with him.

If you're watching both players in this 2026 FIFA world cup you will get to understand that Real Madrid is in a deep mess, like the both players are on fire mostly Vinicius Junior, he's already won three man of the match award in this tournament and still counting, the fact is Real Madrid should better look for a way to sort this players differences, because with what I'm seeing in this tournament and saw Real Madrid went trophyless for good two seasons now, clearly tells that all is not really well over there, that's why I'm trusting on Jose Mourinho to put things to place.

As far as I know Mourinho has a demand similar to that. He wants to be in charge of transfers if I'm not wrong. Maybe not for all transfers this summer but he wants to be listened to for some at least.

Nico Paz is back at Real Madrid by the way. There have been some news like Paz wants to stay at Como and so on. But it looks like they were all lies... However I doubt his minutes at Real Madrid in a player group of stars there.


I would like to do a small edit... I've just seen that Como has actually decided to pay €60m for his fee to sign him permanently!

[len01]

I don’t know why people just love to confuse things, Vinicius role at the team will still be the same, likewise Mbappe. Both players have a huge role to play at the team and none of them will be sold, instead they are trying to bring in a player that will plays well on that right wing.

For me, that doesn't really confuse things. People are simply making their own assumptions. I think it all started because of the rumors linking Olise with a move to Madrid, and everyone began speculating about what role or position he would play if the transfer goes through.

With Olise deleting all his post on social media there have been news that he might be forcing his way out of bayern to go to Real Madrid. He his a very good player and  it will be really nice to see him at Real Madrid.

The rumors about Olise still don't seem very convincing, and it's still unclear what decision he'll eventually make. Bayern are expected to do everything they can to keep him because they have bigger ambitions next season and want to compete for even bigger trophies. On top of that, Olise made a huge contribution to Bayern last season, so it won't be easy to convince him to join Madrid. That said, I'd be delighted if he ended up replacing Rodrygo.

[martinom]

Jose Mourinho is the coach of Real Madrid and he have the final say on the players he want against next season, because he will not allow some challenges that happened this season to repeat itself again next season, because he know what will happen to him if Real Madrid fail. I know that Real Madrid will surely going to sign player in the summer so that when they are ready to start selling some players in the future it will not affect the club performance.

What Jose Mourinho is after now is to win this laLiga league trophy next season, because he don't want anything that will make him to lose his job the way some coaches lose their jobs base on lack of performance.

I believe that Jose Mourinho is the best person to try to straighten out this team, the only one who with his charisma can bring a clear improvement to the team, many have tried but the only one who can succeed is him, Jose Mourinho is certainly not the type to be intimidated.

[cande86]

Olise is a very young star footballer. He can play at a high level for at least another 7-8 years with his current team; he hasn't even reached his prime yet. His quality will improve even more as he gains more experience. Would you want such a player to leave the team?

If they're willing to pay a significant sum, it could be a positive contribution to the team, yes. Otherwise, you'd be giving a star player to a rival you might face in the Champions League final, and you'd also be weakening your own squad

ye he is a great player there is no doubt about it and he is also very young, i believe that at his current level he could still improve and absolutely become one of the best, this is a golden year, i am seeing a lot of new players come out into the open, i am happy to see so many of them.

[ITExpert]

Jose Mourinho understands this team well because he was once a successful coach at Real Madrid, but that doesn't mean he won't face problems, considering Real Madrid has lost its best players in the past two seasons. Jose Mourinho must be able to handle player egos that can disrupt the overall harmony of the team, so the best approach is needed to ensure the team runs according to his plan. Mbappé and Vinicius have always been considered to have big egos within the Real Madrid team and perhaps the biggest challenge for Jose Mourinho is how to improve these two players. Jose Mourinho deserves a chance because we want to see how Real Madrid can compete with other teams next season.

No doubt that Jose Mourinho is good and experienced coach and people are expecting from him very high that he will make the team able to be on a strong position. But despite having all this us also true that he will also face many challenges in the team and the most difficult thing is to manage the Madrid players. But I think the egotistical behaviours  are not suits any player or any coach while working as a professionals. Because the main and the first priority should be the benefit of the team and what is important and what should matters most for them is only to bring the trophies in the team. And Mourinho praised many times Mbappe as a good player and I think this is not giving the impression that it will be difficult for coach or there will be anyone problems regarding this hope they will work together as being most professionals

[aipercoin]

You are absolutely right,, my friend Mbappé?s performance is truly outstanding?there is no denying that. After all, if I recall correctly, he has been a top scorer in La Liga over the last two seasons, which clearly demonstrates his exceptional quality. The issue right now, however,, is that he lacks teammates with whom he shares strong chemistry and cohesion. It is essentially pointless for Mbappé to keep scoring for Real Madrid if the team simultaneously concedes goals to the opposition; that renders his efforts futile,, as the match would likely end in a draw.

Therefore,, beyond addressing player egos at Real Madrid, I believe the defense also needs serious improvement. A team needs balance across all lines to perform at a high level; relying solely on the attack to secure a win rarely works. Real Madrid clearly has a heavy and extensive workload ahead of them in this regard. That is my conclusion on the matter, and I hope the club can resolve these issues soon.

I believe that Mbappe really needs no introduction, let's say that he is one of the best current players and if he wins something again he could become one of the best ever, this is clear, his talent has always been at the center of every discussion, i believe however that he should be more humble if he wants to make this leap in quality.

Hopefully, next season, they'll both begin to realize that their behavior is detrimental to the team, as they feel they're the best and don't need anyone else. However, I'm sure Real Madrid will try to neutralize their situation next season, as they'll be managed by a coach with extensive football experience. But I also hope they'll change and support each other next season so that Real Madrid can bounce back and avoid the slump they experienced last season.

A great team is known by their dressing room activities, because that is where players and officials like coaches crew relationships and team integration which results into winnings for the club, because is when the players are in good relationships that they can cooperate and coordinate themselves on the pitch to have a winning team, whatever goes wrong between the ne members of the team definitely affects the Club entirely.

To me, I can say they are the main problem of Real Madrid. If they will sell one of them, Real Madrid will definitely prosper, because I don’t think they will work together for the betterment of Real Madrid as each of them wants to be the best. For a team to do well, there must be a coordinated cooperation between the players before even the coach. I hope Mbappe and Vinicius settle to build Real Madrid; if not, they will end up affecting their careers and Real Madrid's performance.
