La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[RaltcoinsB]

Will Mourinho manage to win the La Liga championship in his first year with Real Madrid already? If he does that then it would be a surprise for me honestly. Probably for many people at the same time... 

Because maybe Real Madrid has a more capable and stronger squad than Barcelona. However there is a system operating like a clock thanks to Hansi Flick at Barcelona also. Beating him in his own game won't be easy for Mou.

I must say that Real Madrid is more closer to winning La Liga than any other club's since they have been a time title holder before and what have stop them from taking the La Liga title this season was because of a few limitations that the club is currently working on resolving and if that is done like the previous dressing room crisis and signing of few player's the club's will return back to the top in both La Liga and championship this season.

So far, everything is going as planned. Real Madrid is becoming a stronger team with some great transfers. Looking at the players, they are of Real Madrid's caliber. The defense is now stronger. I think they made a very good transfer with Cucurella. They had a lot of deficiencies in that area, and they brought in perhaps one of the best players in the world.

[martinom]

Barcelona is lucky this season, not sure if Gordon deal is done or not, but that is a good one. But more importantly, Cucurella, Konate, these are not the type of players that will make Real Madrid title winners. The problem was always with the upfront, not because they are bad, but because they do not play a team football, they are playing all for themselves and this is causing them to not win. If you play only for yourself, you can get stats, but you will fail to win.

Look at Mbappe alone, dude looks like the best real Madrid player ever on paper, and yet he fails to win anything, why? Because they only play for the person and not for the team. As long as they have that, Barcelona doesn't need to do anything, they will win, not because Barcelona is great, but because Madrid sucks.

For me Barcelona were really lucky on this i really agree, they didn't have another team that hindered them, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid who were the best teams were not able to counter the advance of Barcelona who went ahead completely without too many obstacles.

[BRINIRHA]

With the arrival of Bernardo to the Madrid squad now, the competition is increasingly difficult to be in the first team because if you look now for Madrid's central midfielders there are about 7 and may be able to increase.  Jude, Arda, Tchouameni, Valverde, Brahim, Camavinga and Bernardo and this is not an ordinary name for now even this will feel very luxurious.

Who do you think Mourinho will choose as his three starting midfielders from Real Madrid’s current roster? I predict that Mourinho’s top choices for the midfield will be Bernardo Silva, Valverde, and Bellingham.

Real Madrid’s midfield currently looks formidable thanks to its outstanding midfielders. If they manage to sign Enzo, Real Madrid’s midfield will become even stronger. It’s safe to say that Real Madrid’s midfield is the strongest among all La Liga teams.

I think bringing in Jude, Bernardo and Valverde means they will lose their anchor midfielders because the focus is on attack but leaving the stability of the midfield aside for Defence. It will probably be effective if Madrid want to make the game more exciting with all out attacking but if they want stability between attack and defence this can be a bit dangerous I think.

If you want balance then maybe I think the choice is to Jude as box to box, Bernardo as play maker and Tchouameni as Anchor. But the risk is they lose Valverde here and that's obviously a disadvantage because we know Valverde's style especially in leadership this season is still quite good even though there are a lot of things he still has to improve on.
If you want to be explicit, Bernardo could also be placed on the right winger because he can also be placed in that position so that the trio of Jude, Tchouameni and Valverde remain irreplaceable in midfield.

[bastisisca]

hat would be a very dumb decision if he does that. That's for sure! Additionally, if he wants to get full efficiency he had better use him as AM. Or maybe as CM at worst but he shouldn't play as a winger.

It would certainly be a stupid decision to cut at random, those present in the Real Madrid squad are all champions. In my opinion he must first establish which team to play with and then understand who doesn't want to stay under these conditions, it seems like the best solution.

[Akbarkoe]

Atletico Madrid gives me the impression that they could do like Arsenal, no one ever expects them to win and then in the end they can win a championship, also winning against the best teams there are, like Barcelona and Real Madrid, i think that next year however it will be really tough for them, against Real Madrid who are making a very strong team.

As long as they try it will not be a heavy burden, dreams are what we must achieve even though they are blocked by two big walls in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona who always compete at the top while he only plays in 3rd and 4th place which makes it quite difficult, but what is in Arsenal shows consistency and determination to make it a reality, as long as they continue to evaluate every mistake in themselves and improve it to be better I am very sure Atletico Madrid can get the victory as you said, but not for next season, because next season will really be very hard if Mourinho succeeds in making a powerful strategy.

Atletico Madrid is nowhere near what Arsenal has done. Arsenal gave us the impression of winning the league soon as they came close to the title 4 consecutive times by finishing in the second place. When they won the Premier League, it wasnt a surprise. For that of Atletico Madrid, it will be a surprise because they have not shown any signs of fighting for the league title.

I'm not sure about Atletico Madrid. At least in the near future... I know that they won the La Liga title in 2014 and 2021. However that's the case actually. They just need to get lucky about Barcelona and Real Madrid.

I mean both of them need to have a problematic season which would create an opportunity for Simeone's students. He is staying for another season maybe but this time it might be his last year there. It will be 16 years which sounds insane!

I agree with you. Arsenal have performed well over the past few seasons. Finished the season in second place in the table 3 times in a row. And in the last season they became champions.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid's squad is strong. But they cannot compete hard for the title. They are strong early in the season. Gradually we see their performance deteriorating. Every season we see the same scenario. Besides, Real Madrid and Barcelona are always stronger than Atletico Madrid. Competing with these two renowned clubs to win the title is very difficult for Atletico.

there are these players and every time i read their names i really have doubts, how could a team with such strong players have problems or difficulties in winning a championship, Tchouameni like Anchor are simply incredible, i repeat i don't know how they managed not to win anything.

[POPOLUV]

Real Madrid has always been built to be the best team there is on the football scene, this is definitely what Perez is building with his investments and above all with Mourinho who will dedicate himself to managing this club in a very decisive way as he knows how to do, and i don't think he will make mistakes.

A lot of money is already invested in Real Madrid invested in Real Madrid for that club not to succeed. You can see that anytime the club sight a player that has potential, they are quick to hijack it. You remember how the club was so desperate about Mbape back then but when he came, things was not going well for them and they didn't listen to outside opinion and you can see that the problem of the club isn't him but the entire team, he is doing well personally.

The club is moving slowly to buy Olise from Real Madrid, there has not been any recent developments that has been revealed but I can tell you that if the guy is needed by Real Madrid, they are going to get it. I don't want to listen to those talk about him not wanting to leave Bayern. Every player you can see want to play with Real Madrid but it will be a disrespectful for them to admit it. Enzo Fernandez has openly said it that he want to be there and his club was mad at him.

There this news that pop up on my phone this morning and i don't know how truth it could be, that Real Madrid has finally succeeded in completing the world record deal of signing up OLise for the sum of £223, it is true that Real Madrid has the potential in looking out for players that elevate the club from not moving forward next season, since Real Madrid has successfully signed up Olise from Bayern Munich club, let see how the faith of Real Madrid next season with Olise, as you said that when Real Madrid was moving to buy  Kylian mbappa and when the succeeded in buying Kylian mbappa he didn't pay to his expectations, i believe that if any new player that come into club newly, it will take time blend with other players, with that reason i believe both Kylian mbappa is has been playing for Real Madrid and the newly player OLise will surely blend with other players in moving the team forward.

You know Mourinho's history... don't you? If he is given the right tools and players, he can easily win it in the first years. He has done it before, and I am certain he will do it again. Next season, I think Real Madrid is ending it with at least some silverware.

Whether he’ll win the title in his first season depends on how well Mourinho prepares the team and what tactics he’ll ultimately employ. But yes, historically speaking, Mourinho has done it before. However, winning the La Liga title in his first season seems difficult for Mourinho because Barcelona is currently at the peak of their performance. Nevertheless, it’s still possible that Mourinho could win the La Liga title. But one thing that makes me optimistic is that Real Madrid will definitely win the title next season.

[changaa]

The combination of Bellingham, Mbappé, and Vinicius is truly incredible, and it has been a huge help to the team in breaking down the opposition’s defense and scoring plenty of goals. Mourinho just needs to make a few positive adjustments to further improve their performance, and if that goes well, I’m optimistic that Real Madrid will win the title next season.

Bellingham, however, has his own age, i don't know if it is wise to make him play as a striker.

Perhaps as a playmaker behind Mbappe and Vinicius he could be a good idea, with his experience he could certainly find more opportunities for his teammates.

Atletico Madrid is truly a team that could definitely do with Arsenal, this is something that could really happen, in the end, because they could not be able to solve their problems and go and play an excellent championship and win it, after all they have already done it in the past.

I understand you, we need to really commend Barcelona for taking that advantage. They have shown us they are a strong team by benefitting when their rivals drop points, With the ability of maintaining consistency to finish the league as the top team. The important part of Barcelona's success was the ability to capitalize on both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid inconsistencies or injuries or tactical issues throughout the league. We also need to know that the title is not won by lucky alone, the champions must have been having quality and impressive performances for many months and also the the that handles pressure and difficult moments better than anyone will definitely be the champion because they will be focused more on the title race. Next season if Real Madrid finished their rebuilding and also if Atletico Madrid are able to improve on their consistency, I believe they can make the title race much more complicated for Barcelona as the defending champions

We know Bellingham as a midfielder. But he  has the ability to score. He can give excellent finishing. And that is why Bellingham can  be considered as a striker. But I do not  think it will be a wise decision. He has played in a specific position for a  long time. And he has performed as well as he can. Now if his position is changed , then there is no  guarantee that  his performance will not deteriorate.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

I think they made a very good transfer with Cucurella. They had a lot of deficiencies in that area, and they brought in perhaps one of the best players in the world.

The arrival of Cucurella at the Santiago Bernabeu, along with several other players who have been brought in, is clear evidence of Real Madrid management's seriousness in building the squad after ending two consecutive seasons without a trophy. Real Madrid's success in bringing in several new players has not satisfied them, reportedly the management still has several more targets to recruit this summer. Players who play in the position of center back and midfielder are still their target, but among the players who might be able to bring in Real Madrid, Michael Olise remains Florentino Perez dream, but Bayern Munich has not yet given the green light to Real Madrid.

But I do not  think it will be a wise decision. He has played in a specific position for a  long time. And he has performed as well as he can. Now if his position is changed , then there is no  guarantee that  his performance will not deteriorate.

If an excellent midfielder is forced to become permanent front line striker he will run the risk of having all his space awareness and work rate wasted and of being world class talent. His instinct to finish in the box and ability to break up opposition game late on would see him strong attacking figure, but his roots are deep in the system he plays for and any change from his usual role could throw him off-balance.
I think he is best suited to be advanced playmaker behind attacking pair to use his creativity and vision in his main role of the position. There is no guarantee that his performance will be the same in new position, and it might make him much less effective on the field. This way the team will keep his passing and still have their world class talent.

[banana33]

We are very expectant of that recovered Madrid team capable of appearing fearsome again across all European competitions. We can only hope for the players cooperation with the coach to get the team working fine as they should , of which if they should harmoniously work that way, I want to believe they will achieve so much that they have not had in a long time.

Real Madrid's form depends only on what they want to do, and this team can simply win everything, they just have to want it, they can certainly make up for a lot of things they have lost, the Liga first and foremost, which is what they have to get back to immediately, but also the place it deserves in the Champions League.

[tygeade]

Barcelona is one to beat, two league titles in a row. Real Madrid is the one that needs to get better, Barcelona is already good, they are already winning, so they do not really need to change anything. We should not be considering how things could change for Madrid because Mourinho and these new defenders (and maybe Enzo if they can do that) will definitely change a lot for them.

They already have a good offense, and if they can sell some players, like Camavinga and Rodrygo etc, they can use that to get Enzo. So a team that already has decent attacking, will suddenly also have a very decent defense as well. This should not be bad at all, they could definitely end up with a good season too and maybe tr to win this time.

[Volgastallion]

Im following every single national team across the world cup and i ahve to say im truly surprised by the not so high level of Bellingham, dont get me wrong he is playing good and he was nearby to score much more goals if some goalkeepers didnt prevent it, but i feel like he is playing in low compared to what he make in the Real Madrid.
