La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Lannakosa]

After a few days or weeks of calm regarding the conflict between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid over Julián Álvarez, who said he wants to leave Atletico Madrid to pursue his dream, today the president of Barcelona made a statement that could cause the conflict between the two clubs to once again receive significant media attention.

It's a fact that all players want to be at a club that fights for titles, Atlético Madrid doesn't fight for the title, it's a very strange club, while Barcelona fights for the title, so Julián Álvarez wouldn't be making a bad deal leaving Atlético Madrid, but knowing how much hatred Atlético Madrid is feeling, I think it's impossible that they will release the player, they will probably wage war against Barcelona.

That's exactly Atletico's biggest problem, they rarely mount a genuine title challenge in La Liga. More often than not, the race for the championship comes down to Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even though Atletico have a strong squad and have invested heavily in transfers during several recent transfer windows, they still haven't been able to compete with those two clubs on equal terms.

That's why it's understandable that, after a few seasons, the more ambitious players start looking for clubs where they have a better chance of winning major trophies. So, if Alvarez wants to leave Atletico, it's easy to understand his reasoning. What is harder to understand is why Atletico are so determined to prevent that from happening.

Where did you find out about this, I would like to know? The news I read says that, on the contrary, Guler will be a central figure in Mourinho’s plans. He has been following this player for a long time and wanted to get him when Mourinho was at Ferenbahce and Guler was sitting on the bench at Real Madrid. They write that even if Silva moves to Real, Guler will retain his role and, in general, the club views him as part of the club's long-term strategy.
Incidentally, Mourinho's wish came true  and Türkiye was eliminated from the World Cup early, now Guler has time to rest and prepare for the season.

That's right. Mourinho has even stated several times in his statements that Arda is a talented young player. Arda is also a key part of Real Madrid long term midfield project, and Mourinho is determined to get the best out of Arda at Real Madrid.

Mourinho latest statement regarding Arda's performance against the USA in the World Cup a few days ago. He said that what Arda did for the Turkish national team at such a young age was impressive, even playing in the national team like a veteran because he has leadership qualities and doesn't give up easily.

So, it's impossible for Mourinho not to be interested in Arda. Mourinho even said he is an important player for Real Madrid. Mourinho also said that whatever Ozil achieved under him, he promised Arda would achieve tenfold at Madrid.

Incidentally, another quality that is a huge plus is Güler's lack of a sensitive ego. This distinguishes him from many other top players at Real Madrid  I don’t remember any problems with him even in the season when he played more minutes in the Turkish national team than in Real Madrid. Turkey performed very poorly at the World Cup, but this is not Güler's fault, plus in the end it is unclear how best to leave the World Cup - after the group stage or, like Germany and the Netherlands yesterday, immediately in the first game of the playoffs in a penalty shootout. It seems to me that the latter is more traumatic for the psyche.

Months to come the Spanish la liga will start and all teams will stand a chance to prove themselves the same way they did last season but where an still doubtful on how the conclusion may be is believing Barcelona or Real Madrid will be crowned the Spanish champions at the end of the season because I know all small teams will be fighting to score and rewrite some already established  believe that have existed for years now. After looking at how the weaker teams are pushing to change history, I am convinced that next season may end in an unexpected way because I don’t think there will be hope for both Barcelona and Real Madrid.

You are right that the Spanish La Liga will start in the coming months but we agree that Real Madrid will be worthy of being champions at the end of next season because at the moment it seems that this team is adding many star players to the team and they are still trying to buy a key player. Madrid's approach to adding players this season is different from other teams because they have appointed a new manager and are also signing players. On the other hand, we can see that Barcelona, who have won the last two seasons, have only bought one player but there are rumors that a top-class attacking player from ATM is willing to join the Spanish champions, if this reshuffle is complete then it seems that Barcelona and Real Madrid will be able to advance in the title race in the upcoming La Liga season.

If Barcelona management will decide to release all their key players of the club, because those players are still young to help the club to repeat what happened to Barcelona that is making the club to be toping laLiga league since last season till this season. I don't think Real Madrid need new coach in this summer, because there are some words that came out from Real Madrid coach, it made many people and their president to believe that their coach will surprise people to do what they couldn't do last season.

The fear I have for Barcelona is that their coach should not be in an hurry to sell out their young potential strikers, because those strikers will help the club to dominate to cause the club to lift many trophies in the future.

I don't agree with the opinions that Mourinho wouldn't prefer Arda Güler in the starting lineup by the way. There is just no way for that! 

He is already one of the most important members of the team right now. Besides he is the 4th most valuable player in the squad together with Valverde in terms of market value...


I wonder whether Mourinho will continue to use Bellingham as AM or make him return to his natural position which is CM.

Mourinho play Counter attack football and arda gular is not a player where they fit in the Counter attacking team Last Season we see arda is attacking midfielder and actually they play good football and now I think mourhino want Bernado silva can play the arda gular role very well and very perfect because silva is very experienced player and they do that role very well I just think that's the reason why mourhino wouldn't consider arda gular as main player maybe they changed their mind later and they give the important role.

I wonder whether Mourinho will continue to use Bellingham as AM or make him return to his natural position which is CM.

In my opinion, Mourinho will continue to play Bellingham as an attacking midfielder because of his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, which means the two central midfield positions will be filled by Bernardo Silva and Valverde or Enzo Fernández. But things are getting interesting in Real Madrid’s midfield this time around, as there will be competition among the players for a starting spot in Mourinho’s squad. That’s because Real Madrid now has a deep pool of talented midfielders.

This competition amongs the players will really go a long way to keep the team in check,  because when the players know there is a good substitute who is as good as them, they will want to be at their best always so the coach will see reasons to have them on their starting XI always,  and knowing how discipline of a person mourinho is, they know that the moment he gets a reason not to have you on the starting XI, you most likely will not get good play time again,  and that is not good for their career.

Many of Real Madrid fans are already expecting much from Mounrinho, although the way things are going Mounrinho may surprised us with unexpected performance by next coming season.

by next season we will see whether he will be able to restore this team performance  and win a trophy, because with the current situation of  Real Madrid it maybe hard for Mounrinho to make eveerything possible in one season, but we can't say anything at the moment let's see whaf will happen when the season start.

You're correct, the expectations people have on Mourinho to fix all Real Madrid problem in just one session is becoming too much, and they are expecting him to also win trophies in that next season. In my opinion, this will bring more pressure and frustration to him because there's no way he can achieve all this at once.

The problem now, it's not only Real Madrid fans have this big expectations for Mourinho, even Real Madrid management want him to get things fast because this has always been Madrid mentality since they have gotten used to winning trophies, and I don't think Mourinho will get this done as fast as they want, because Barcelona isn't sleeping either they are also preparing to win trophies next season too.

Mou may have different preference regarding Arda's play style. The fact that he pushes Madrid to get a new midfielder that meet his expectation. So this pretty obvious Arda may be warming the bench.
Just because Arda has been always getting minutes under the previous coaches, then you call that he will not be benched by him.

Juan Mata, Hazard, Pepe, Casilas, and etc have ever been benched by Mou because they didn't meet what he demanded from them. So the same rule is applicable to the Arda.
Is this the first time you watch Mou's coaching the club?

When you are not doing your best and there's no sign of improvement, Mourinho will keep you on the bench irrespective of the player that you are. If a player cannot also show some respect and discipline, Mourinho will also put you to your place. I'm happy that Real Madrid squad will be better again with his coaching skills and experience.

One by one, the veteran players are leaving Real Madrid. After Carvajal left the club yesterday, now it’s Dani Ceballos’s turn to go as well.

I honestly didn’t expect Ceballos to leave without any kind of send-off. Ceballos deserves a proper farewell at Real Madrid. Yes, he wasn’t a starter on the Real Madrid squad, but his contributions can’t be simply dismissed. I hope he succeeds with his new club and enjoys the rest of his career.

It's natural change in their club because Real Madrid in years of Perez management have not been ready to give old and legendary star players kind of opportunities to end their player career at the club. From Raul, Casillas, Ramos, Marcelo, and more, so there is no actually big reason for them to change in this summer and next seasons.

They tend to assess cost and benefit from player transfer cost to buy new star players, salary paid to old players, and they want to let old players go for reduction of the club's budget for player salary as well as have open positions for new star players to come.

The culture at Real Madrid is truly unique. Unlike other clubs, which show great respect for, or treat well, veteran players who have become legends by holding them proper farewell celebrations. I’ve only just realized that there have never been the kinds of farewells that senior star players at Real Madrid would expect. As the saying goes, “Once the sweetness is gone, the husk is discarded.” Perhaps that’s what Raúl, Casillas, Ramos, Marcelo, and many others experienced. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, if I’m not mistaken, didn’t receive a farewell celebration from the club.

[SuperBitMan]

With all the signings that Real Madrid has done, we are expecting them to lift at least one trophy next season and if they cannot, that means they have failed, I have very strong expectation from Real Madrid, right now they have the best players in the world and they need to lift the La Liga title or the Champions League title, now that they have a very good coach that has experience we are not expecting failure anymore and they don’t have any other excuse. Barcelona has dominated the La Liga for a very long time. It is time for it to change hand and Real Madrid is preparing so well to dominate. Let’s see if they will achieve that.

[dezoel]

Mourinho is not the saviour that they need, I have said this before and I will say it again, THAT Mourinho is gone, this dude is just shell of his old self and he is not going to be helpful at all.

I get that we are not going to see this change and I think we should not be really considering how this could be any different. Look at his last stints in the past five years and you are going to see why he sucked and he will not be helpful.

I mean sure, go ahead and disagree, time will show that anyways, I am not worried, I can wait to prove my point.

[Volgastallion]

So i just read about the Atletico Madrid is gonna sue the Barcelona team for harass Julian Alvarez and them in their purse of the player.

ITs crazy to read some allegations like this one but it seems like they are also true, despite that i dont feel like this is not gonna go anywhere. The justice is not gonna make anything because is nearby to impossible to prove something like this, and this seems to be a movement by Atletico Madrid just to stop the Barcelona a little.

Suing Barcelona just because they are interested in their player? That's ridiculous!    As if Julian Alvarez doesn't want to go to Barcelona in the first place...

I don't understand Atletico Madrid on this topic. They are acting like a child. Nobody is harrassing the player. He wants to leave as I said. They don't even respect their player's will. What a shame...

In football, nothing is being certain that a team will lift the trophy of their league despite signing key players and new coach.

Real Madrid are been known of signing key players to their team every new season, and in the past two seasons, they haven't become the Spanish Champions. This season, we don't know what their story will be like, to deny Barcelona the LaLiga trophy since they are the club that keeps challenging them for the LaLiga trophy every season. I just guess they become the Spanish Champions this season, because it will be disappointing if they didn't prove themselves worthy after making good signings of players and coach.

I don't even know why Atletico Madrid management has been aggressive this summer. They've been very intentional I'm defending the club's interest and making publications to refute or disassociate themselves from transfer rumours that aren't true about Julian Alvarez, that's unlike them.
Wanting to sue Barcelona is not a problem but does their reason of suing them strong enough to help them win the legal battle or they're just tryna exercise their legal power? We'll be here to know where it'll end.

Remember players are been build to play and master a particular position even though they don't know how to play that position before in their life and that is an interesting thing about football. Arda gular is a good player and he should not be judge so quick as Mourinho can still build him to become the player he wants. Bernardo Silva is a good player there is no doubt about this but he's aging already and this is more reason they should train Arda gular to become the perfect person.

I don't just know why people are so stressed about this Julian Alvarez and Atletico Madrid saga, the fact remains, Atletico Madrid is not willing to sell him to Barcelona not even for any price, and I don't think Real Madrid is very much interested in him and for Julian Alvarez I don't even think he still want to leave the team now, so let's just face the reality here, and for the Spanish La Liga title race we all know it's all about Barcelona and Real Madrid, while Atletico Madrid is just like the Wenger team when Wenger was still managing Arsenal, like every single season Arsenal team and their fans are sure of playing the UEFA Champions League till Wenger left the team it's like a tradition to them, so that's the situation of Atletico Madrid in that league.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

I think the situation in La Liga now is not that different compared to the situation when he was a coach there... maybe there will be things that are different, but it shouldn't be a serious problem for him, especially when he is given the opportunity to develop his own squad and bring in players who are hungry for trophies. so he should be able to do a good job this season. but I agree that we need to lower expectations, because nothing is instant and it all requires a process.

Many of Real Madrid fans are already expecting much from Mounrinho, although the way things are going Mounrinho may surprised us with unexpected performance by next coming season.

by next season we will see whether he will be able to restore this team performance  and win a trophy, because with the current situation of  Real Madrid it maybe hard for Mounrinho to make eveerything possible in one season, but we can't say anything at the moment let's see whaf will happen when the season start.

Since Mourninho has had enough time to build the team, I think he can be successful because he has that wisdom. Real Madrid problem is a little different from other teams. The team has everything but no good strategy to win trophies. They have world-class and expensive players but they are not winning enough. Mourninho first task will be to find the weaknesses of the team and set a strategy. He is an experienced manager and will probably be able to achieve his goals.

Literally, it is true that Real Madrid's problem is a little different because we have noticed that they have everything but no good strategy to win the title. Maybe they are working with the goal of not losing the title in the upcoming La Liga season, for which they are buying players for a lot of money and to my knowledge also adding some to their team on free transfers. You are right that Jose Mourinho's first task will be to find the weaknesses of this team but I think that this manager should eliminate jealousy in this team. Moreover, this team will have a high chance of winning the title in the upcoming season because most of their players are participating in this FIFA World Cup and performing well.

Barcelona has dominated the La Liga for a very long time. It is time for it to change hand and Real Madrid is preparing so well to dominate. Let’s see if they will achieve that.

Yeah definitely they should need to win at least one trophy because they signed so many players and even now still are looking for more players to fill the lacking gap between the team strength and form all above they brought one of the greatest coach. So now they really deserve to win any trophy otherwise it will be super disasters for the fans.....

They spend so much money but still if they got nothing they probably their something wrong with them. However regarding through Jose Morhino I will mentioned here that he is great coach and definitely he will find a way for team because he has a lot of experience and even Real Madrid attack is to moderate for him to drive the team into great moments.

Jose Mourinho needs to ensure harmony among the players. Actually, I think the president brought him in because he liked this aspect of him. But he's also making the transfers he wants. Right now, Real Madrid has one of the best defensive squads in the world. Finding good defenders in today's football is very difficult. Mourinho is bringing together the best of them. I think we'll see a much better Real Madrid next year.
