La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Halifat]

It is very unlikely that La Liga will become one-sided. Barcelona have  won the title in two consecutive seasons. They have played  well, that is true. At the same time, madrid's situation was not stable either. As a result, it was possible for Barcelona to win the title.

Madrid still  has the strongest squad in la liga. At the same time, barcelona is in a financial crisis, but Madrid has a lot of  money. Buying the player of their choice  at a high price is not difficult for madrid. But Barcelona has to be very careful about spending money. Barcelona has not yet overcome the economic crisis.

Madrid management is taking all measures  to strengthen  the squad for the next season. On the other hand, barcelona has not yet been able to find a worthy replacement for lewandowski.

I think Real Madrid those guys are have the capacity with it comes to finance and thats why they actually have the advantage in the transfer market but then money alone does not guarantee league title. And as for Lewandowski replacement, it is actually a very big challenge for Barcelon, but they still have time to address that issue, whether by bringing up younger players or signing the right striker and if they can make smart decisions, La Liga should remain competitive rather than being one sided and they need to act smart and fast.

Spending money does not guarantee but it can also close some gaps, real Madrid have opportunity to navigate through transfer window because of the funds they have and I am very much confidence that a lot of things will change especially now that they have a new manager which he knows why he was hired. Real Madrid had faced so many challenges for the past two seasons which they really have to recover from that, because it was a big loss after spending so much in getting those world class players.

It wouldn't become a sided league for only one club even if they had won the second time because there was also a time when real Madrid won the same way and if I'm not mistaken real Madrid has history in la Liga that Barcelona may not have till another new generation of players, because real Madrid has won five back to back in the league while Barcelona was there so actually no club has hold it more than that. So don't see it as a permanent system of trophy to Barcelona because they were fit that was why but when real Madrid will become fit they will also takeover while Barcelona will not be there. The effects will be there for Barcelona to bear if the required replacement is not met for Lewandowski because they're not being serious the way I expected.

Dani Ceballos is leaving Real Madrid after 9 years at the club. He has written an official farewell statement which can be read here: Dani Ceballos played 16 games last season, with 0 assists and 0 goals. It wasn't a good season for him, unfortunately, and Real Madrid needs players who work hard and deliver good results. I hope he has great success at his next club. He was a player who spent many years with the team, and I believe he's leaving at a time when he won't receive much attention because of the World Cup.

He is one of the players who, although not a star player for Madrid, he can always be relied upon as a substitute for Madrid midfield, I quite admire this person, and I have checked his contract and it will expire in 2027, which allows him to still play for one more season, is it possible that due to fitness issues that decided to end the contract early? I hope whatever the reason, Ceballos can still have a career in another team.

He still has a contract until next season but unfortunately Real Madrid club terminated his contract early I think because he is not included in Mourinho plans next season so it is useless maybe he will only sit on the bench or even not be used, so currently any club that wants to recruit him he has a free transfer status which is an advantage for any club, even though he left Real Madrid does not mean he stopped being a player I think he might accept a club that is willing to accept him, Ajax and Real Betis seem to be interested in this player he is still worthy enough to play in big events even though his performance is mediocre.

[dezoel]

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.

Exactly, and I think this is one of the reason why Real Madrid performance have turn to be like this. Although many people believe that Mounrinho will solve this problem, I can't argue about that, but it won't be easy for mounrinho as you said already they both want to the who the fans will say if not becauee of them the team will not achieve some certain trophy, and this is a team work one pr two people can't do it.

And on top of that, the reason why I do not believe Mourinho will solve this, is because he hasn't won anything major with any team for the past 10 years. He has won Europa with United, which they almost did a few years ago anyways, so not a huge achievement. And won conference league with Roma.

The last ten years of his life has two cups like that, nothing more as far as I can see, he failed at league level all that time, did absolutely shitty and got fired from every job he had in the last ten years.

Real Madrid is the richest football club in the world, money is not the problem for them, they are ready to pay handsomely, even over the price for a player to get what they want, that is why it is difficult to see any player reject invitation from Real Madrid to join their club.

I was hoping Osimhen could join Barcelona as Lewandoski replacement, unfortunately we aren't seeing that happen.

I agree with you that Real Madrid are financially buoyant. If you look at the players they have currently you will know that they have the money to buy any player with any amount of money, because what they are after is the trophy to increase their money. But what happened this season is the worse season to real Madrid, because they lose champion league,  laLiga league trophy and other trophies which is the challenge their president saw among Real Madrid players that draw the attention of their coach.

You think Galatasaray president will just release Victor osimhen in a low price, because they knew that clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid will be coming to  buy the player when Galatasaray president is ready to release him for sale.

[Not your key not your BTC]

It’s true that Olise is currently at the top of his game, so it’s not just Real Madrid that wants him, several other top teams are also interested in signing him. However, Bayern Munich has set a very high asking price for Olise, and Real Madrid certainly won’t be willing to meet it. So yes, it’s safe to say that Olise will remain with Bayern Munich next season.

I don't know if it's true that several teams want him because the only club that I know have gone for him sharply is Real Madrid and that's what's on air but since Bayern says they need to pay very high to sign him, I don't know if Real Madrid will accept to buy him for such amount. Bayern isn't a club that Real Madrid will intimidate with their richies.

Basically, there isn’t a single club that doesn’t want great players on its team. That’s just the way it is; other teams are actually very interested in Olise. However, because the price set by Bayern Munich is so high, many teams have decided to back out of their efforts to sign Olise. The same goes for Real Madrid. I’m sure Real Madrid won’t be willing to buy Olise at the price Bayern Munich is asking for.

There is something you need to know about winning trophy, if you have players that are not strong and performative, your chance of winning the League will be low, but if you have the right player, your chance of winning the League will also be high, although there is chance of them losing but if you have the right skill to put players on good place, the chance of winning the League will be high and that's what Mourinho have on his hand now.

We can't say Real Madrid problem are players, it's part of it but only defenders are the problem but when Arbeloa became the manager, we saw how the team became better. He was using the same players Xabi was having hard time to win teams that were proving stubbornness and he does better when Mbape was away. If Mourinho can identify this problem, all he need to do is to identify those problems and the team will be able to win the trophy again.

It sounds easy, but I'm sure the process won't be as simple as we think. Madrid has players with abilities that I think are unquestionable. Mourinho must already have a plan to kick off the season.
Winning the La Liga trophy, I think, won't be an easy matter for Madrid, but it shouldn't be something too difficult for them either. I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform at the start of the season.

[KTChampions]

I don't understand what this means. He has a contract until 2030, which he personally signed, it's not a subject for discussion for which he can provide any answers. He simply has to fulfill his contract. If he wants to move to Barcelona, ​​then let him pay the extra money out of his own pocket. As I understand it, it’s only a matter of 50 million – Atletico wants 150 million, and Barcelona can pay 100. I hope that if we see something similar to the strike that the rat Isak staged, Atletico will teach him a harsh lesson, it seems like they have tough guys there, not like the ones in Newcastle.

With the current financial records of Barcelona, I don't think that Barcelona will bring out that kind of money to bring in Alvarez into their team. Because it will not be good for their financial records Barcelona has to be prudent in their spending to avoid having financial problems that they are trying hard to get out of. Looking at the Barcelona setup I don't think that Alvarez will bring in much difference because Barcelona has won the league back to back without him. Instead of using that huge money in buying only one player they should look at the market and bring in three quality players with this game.

Barcelona has been notorious with the way that they are going about signing players. And ATM has threatened to petition them to FIFA over the current situation with the player. But Alvarez just have to know that if he wants to leave the club that wants him should meet the demands of his present club . If he refuses to play for the present team then he just has to sits on the bench till his contract expires.

As I understand it, the gist of the complaint is that negotiations with a player behind the club's back are possible if there is less than a certain period of time left before the contract expires (I think 6 months). If Atletico can prove the fact of contacts, then, in theory, Barcelona will be punished.
Apparently, the situation is unfolding similarly to the one with Isak the Rat: the player has a valid contract but refuses to honor it because he was allegedly promised a transfer. Are footballers naturally so dense that they don't understand the difference between a signed contract and mere talk?
It's time to stop this absurdity.

[Slow death]

Well, when you have games involving national teams, it becomes a big headache for the clubs, because players get injured while playing for their national team and harm the local team. In the case of La Liga, we have Nico Williams who plays for Athletic Bilbao, he's injured. I don't know exactly how long he'll be out, but without a doubt, this news about him being injured isn't something that will please the Athletic Bilbao management. I hope we don't hear too much about things like "player X is injured." It was a terrible World Cup for Nico Williams, he played 3 games, scored 0 goals, and provided 0 assists.

I’m sure Real Madrid won’t be willing to buy Olise at the price Bayern Munich is asking for.

The obvious thing here is that Bayern is setting such a price because at this time, they are not willing to let go of Olise just yet and so they have to make it such that if they have to let him go it will at such a high cost that will be worth it. Olise is such a grate player and should not come at a cheap cost but one that will be considered deserving and that is exactly what Bayern Munich is doing with him.

Your argument is right, things might likely be different this time around because RealMadrid is more prepared this time and they may not give Barcelona chance to win the trophy for 3,rd time in a row, with the squad in RealMadrid and the new big signings if Barcelona succeed in wining the Spanish laliga league title again in the coming season, don't we think that it will be a big problem for the team, but what i don't want to buy into is what you said about being fit and not not being fit, Madrid had a team where by even if any player is been enjoyed they can find a replacement, yea they were struck with injury at some point but Madrid can actually survive, what about Barcelona that had almost all their key players injured at some point too, it happened to both teams but Barcelona was more serious and the won the league.

I recently read he is unto the move to a Spanish club in La Liga and if I recall vividly, it should be Real Betis. I got to know him when he played for Arsenal under loan and then returned back to Real Madrid.
He was also fortunate to be a champions league winner without playitoo much fixtures under Carlo Ancelotti. I bid him farewell in the new step and phase ahead. With his experience, he will be a valuable player for Real Betis who also qualified for the Champions League competition.

Olise is a great midfielder. He was in great form last season. So naturally, several clubs are interested in adding  Olise to their squad. But Munich management is not at all interested in selling one of their best  players. That is why they have set a high price for Olise. Real Madrid definitely tried their best to add olise to their squad. Madrid needs such a talented midfielder. Munich management has  set a record price. And it is probably 222 million.

[banana33]

At the start of the season, Real Madrid fans weren't expecting too much. They just wanted Mourinho to manage the squad well and bring the players together. Winning a domestic trophy in his first season would already be enough to prove that Mou can turn things around and bring back the team's winning mentality. If he can succeed domestically first, it'll be much easier to go all in for the UCL in the following season.

Mourinho will manage the situation in the best way, this is certainly an important job that he has to do and then all the players too, they have to question themselves and they have to try to win something because staying all these years without winning anything is a very strange thing for them.

Whether Olise is interested in coming to Real Madrid or not is also an important issue, Bayern Munich has already confirmed their position. I don't think Olise and Bayern Munich are interested in this offer from Real Madrid in any way. Bayern Munich is in a great time now and Olise is also getting a lot of respect as an important player for Bayern Munich. So he might not want to ruin his reputation by coming to Real Madrid. Even Real Madrid is not in a good position now, if Real Madrid was in a good position then maybe Olise would have shown some interest. Real Madrid might not want to spend 222 million for a talented young player, they might be able to sign more than one player for this price.

As far as I know Bayern Munich hasn't told them anything about Olise's price. They just don't want to sell him to any team now!    But Real Madrid is still pushing their luck for him then.

I think Olise doesn't intend to leave the team at least for now. They had a better season than Real Madrid technically as well considering their CL progresses. I don't expect this transfer to come true this summer.

[Shineup]

It is very unlikely that La Liga will become one-sided. Barcelona have  won the title in two consecutive seasons. They have played  well, that is true. At the same time, madrid's situation was not stable either. As a result, it was possible for Barcelona to win the title.

Madrid still  has the strongest squad in la liga. At the same time, barcelona is in a financial crisis, but Madrid has a lot of  money. Buying the player of their choice  at a high price is not difficult for madrid. But Barcelona has to be very careful about spending money. Barcelona has not yet overcome the economic crisis.

Madrid management is taking all measures  to strengthen  the squad for the next season. On the other hand, barcelona has not yet been able to find a worthy replacement for lewandowski.

I think Real Madrid those guys are have the capacity with it comes to finance and thats why they actually have the advantage in the transfer market but then money alone does not guarantee league title. And as for Lewandowski replacement, it is actually a very big challenge for Barcelon, but they still have time to address that issue, whether by bringing up younger players or signing the right striker and if they can make smart decisions, La Liga should remain competitive rather than being one sided and they need to act smart and fast.

Real Madrid had faced so many challenges for the past two seasons which they really have to recover from that, because it was a big loss after spending so much in getting those world class players.

I think spending has save Real Madrid several times and it has gotten used to them, like they spend huge every season and that has really been helping them every season, to me Real Madrid going trophyless for two seasons now is based on their differences in the team, because they've got all it takes to win that league just the same way Barcelona has won it, but everyone in the team thinks himself as the Optimus prime of the team and that has been the major reasons for their underperformance in the club, but I trust Jose Mourinho is definitely gonna handle that.

The effects will be there for Barcelona to bear if the required replacement is not met for Lewandowski because they're not being serious the way I expected.

Barcelona could be well ahead for a few years. it won't be forever, but if you consider how their squads are setup and how much future potential Barcelona has with all those young players, there could be some dominance in the making in the next few seasons in La Liga. Real Madrid's squad is good, but I don't think it is as good as Barcelona's team. Transfers can change that of course, but Barcelona isn't sleeping. If Real Madrid is able to improve their midfield, it could close the gap I think and make the league more interesting again, but for now Barcelona is ahead in my opinion. Having Mbappe and Vinicius Junior isn't enough to win the La Liga trophy, the team is still incomplete in my opinion.

But we will see what Mourinho's plan is and whether he wants to bring in a bunch of new players. He is at least good enough to understand what the team might be missing. Although I am a bit afraid that he turns Real Madrid into this highly defensive team again.

There’s not much choice. As a professional player, you have to represent your country at the World Cup, even though there’s always a risk of getting injured.

As for Nico Williams, he seems to be one of those players who gets injured quite often. From the way it looked in his last game, it doesn’t seem to be anything serious. He’ll probably just need a couple of weeks to recover. So I wouldn’t worry too much, he should be ready to play for Atletico Madrid when the new season starts.
