La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[CageMabok]

Rashford didn't prove anything when he was loaned by Barcelona last season so I think that's what made Hansi Flick not want him too much and of course every coach has his own characteristics to choose players who fit the tactics that will be implemented, so I will not doubt anything about Hansi Flick to build the Barcelona team because he has really proven it in the last 2 seasons that he has been successful enough to make positive changes for the team so whatever Hansi Flick chooses and wants is the best, I really believe that.

I also think so because it's unfair for a coach to be fired so quickly without being given more time to see results and prove his coaching ability at a team that has previously been quite successful under other coaches. I also want to see how Carrick performs with Manchester United next season. If the team doesn't win any trophies next season, I think the management should give him more time to prove himself and not fire him for poor results.

The hard part is looking for a better replacement for Lewandowski. Barcelona have yet to see someone who will give them at least equal to what Lewandowski did before looking for a better fit. The option they had, which was Alvarez, is now a no-go area for them. I wish Barcelona would think of Osimhen as the best fit to replace Lewandowski. Another good option is Woltemade of Newcastle. I think Woltemade will fit in better in Barcelona's system.

Julian Alvarez has shown his interest to play for Barcelona but it's a no-go area just as you said. Atletico Madrid don't want to give Barcelona any chance to let Alvarez go because they consider him as the key man for the team, that's why they don't want Barcelona to make any movement concerning him.

Yes simhen would be a perfect replacement for Lewandowski but with the financial challenges in Barcelona, do you think can even get Osimhen? And honestly with news I saw before, I'm not sure he has intention to play for Barcelona.

You're right. Real Madrid actually has a star-studded roster, but the reason they’ve struggled with their performance, resulting in no trophies for two consecutive seasons, is that they lack a coach capable of managing a locker room full of players with big egos. Now, with Mourinho on board, he’s expected to resolve the issues in the locker room and get the players to listen to him so that Real Madrid can win La Liga and other trophies.

Now that they have got a coach that is believed to be one of the best around  the world. Many persons have believed for the longest of time that coach has been the issue  that have kept them for two seasons without a trophy,  let us see what they will be able to get this season  that they now have the supposed hood coach.

Coaches at least hasn't been the problem of Real Madrid apart from Benitez who was replaced by Zidane and the that Spanish coach who came to replace Zidane in 2018 after he left the club, apart from that Real Madrid hasn't had a coaching problem for a long time now, the problem of Real Madrid in the last 2 years has been lack of players and not coach. The President was quick to blame Ancelotti when he didn't realise it was his fault, Real Madrid just won the league and Champions League that season with injured players especially at the back, the reasonable thing to do was to buy and reinforce those positions, the coach talked about it but he refused to buy players and asked him to continue with the squad. Even a blind man could see the back needed reinforcement but instead Perez kept reinforcing the front. I really don't like talking about this because the person that's at fault for it didn't admit it was his fault and fans blamed Ancelotti. Xabi came in, the president sacrificed him for players. I will just sit and watch to see what will happen this time around.

One thing you must appreciate Arsenal for. Arsenal is a club which holds the coaches in high esteem and it is paying them to a large extent even if the results are not immediate. Firing coaches here and there does not help a team at all because it is not a rocket science. What brings the club out of underperforming is not only about the coach and the sacking of them but about building a team together with the coach. The coach is what gives the team a direction and when the coach is not stable, it becomes a bit problematic for the team too.

The coach will still not be the one to score the goals or force the players to embrace team performance instead of playing individual games his presence is there to help them build the team and return them back to winning ways but if the players refuse to play according to his instructions then it's going to be a different thing for them again and they may end up going trophyless for 3 season. Jose Mourinho is a good coach who knows how to read the game all he needs is the cooperation of the players to return the team back to winning trophies.

Currently Atletico only Troll with the transfer of Julian Alvarez because from the beginning they seemed to have no intention of letting go but always serve some clubs who want to get Julian Alvarez just to make them upset including for 2 big clubs Barcelona and Madrid.

Barcelona is the worst by far because Atletico even made this as entertainment on social media just for psy war in the new season but the way Atletico did this for me is very entertaining because even though they have no intention of selling but they are still trying to provide entertainment in this summer transfer.

I assume Atletico isn't just engaging in psychological warfare, but rather taking advantage of a good opportunity to find the highest bidder. It might seem like Atletico doesn't want to sell Julian Alvarez, but I'm sure if there's a very high offer, he'll likely be released. Unfortunately, Madrid understands that, while they need a player like Alvarez, they're better off finding alternatives than paying a large sum for just one player.

Madrid's offer for Julian Alvarez will not be more than 150 million because I feel it is the maximum limit for this player even I feel it is too expensive for Julian Alvarez. But indeed with a Spending Clause of 500 million in the end Atletico are free to be in this psychological game because they certainly will not let this drama end quickly especially some big clubs and rival clubs want their players.

Player business will indeed be a bit of a priority when there are so many clubs wanting players but apart from 150 million I doubt there will be any other club that will bid Julian for a higher price.

Not like I want to sound too certain, but I know that Jose Mourinho will succeed at Real Madrid, I'm very confident that he'll succeed.

With the quality of players at his disposal and the ones that'll be signed again before the end of the summer transfer window, I think he'll be able to use his wealth of football knowledge to bring success back to Santiago Bernabeu.

I've seen different opinions about his style of football and how it's not modern but we know Florentino Perez as a president who's not too concerned about how you play but how you bring glory to the club, that's why he went for Mourinho. I can't wait to watch Real Madrid next season.

[bitgolden]

Signing Alvarez will be a good signing for Barcelona but did you think Atletico Madrid will sell him to Barcelona with what is happening and how Barcelona is trying to make the player to speak in public that he want the move and all the drama? Atletico Madrid are doing everything possible to keep Alvarez on the yea for next season even if he will be on the bench, Barcelona is capable of signing him but what they did is unfair and they don’t know how to respect other clubs.

If i am in Atletico Madrid position i will also say that i will not sell Alvarez because a player like him is very hard to get in the market and selling him to Barcelona will be a big problem for Atletico Madrid because he will always score against them, Atletico Madrid don’t want to sell Alvarez to any La Liga club because seeing him playing well and score against them will be hurting them .

It is not about just selling a player, it's about being forced, and that's annoying. Right now Alvarez wants to join Barcelona, which is understandable and you may "want" something, but if Atletico doesn't want to, they have two paths.

Either they will try to sell him to some other team and hope that he agrees, otherwise Alvarez could just reject all offers that is not Barcelona and Atletico will be stuck with him, or they will just not sell him and in that case they will get zero when his contract runs out.

Yes, currently we can't be sure whether Mourinho will be able to make Real Madrid a successful team again. Because, for some reason, I feel that the problems that Real Madrid has are quite difficult to solve. Honestly, ego is a problem that is very difficult to control, while the current Real Madrid players are full of players with big egos. So I don't think it will be easy for Mourinho to make Real Madrid a great team again. So, because of that, I think our current good expectations for Real Madrid may not be realized next season.

Because, in essence, I think while it's true that Real Madrid is currently willing to be coached by Mourinho, of course, I don't think the results will be instantaneous. So,, it's likely that Real Madrid's performance this season will be mediocre, in my opinion. Especially after the World Cup is over,, it's certain that some Real Madrid players will still be disappointed with the results they achieved with their national team. So I think that also has a big impact. That's why I personally don't expect much from Real Madrid this season.

Jose Mourinho is a proven seria winner, and as such we all should be confident in what he can do at real madrid. I know that some stubborn people will still doubt his capabilities due to personal hatred or whatsoever, but I believe beyond reasonable doubt that he will be a success at real madrid.

The concern of most people is that real madrid will be playing a boring football, but if I may ask, were they exciting under arbeloa or xabi Alonso? No.
We shouldn't forget that he also knows how to play an attacking football just as he did in his second stint at Chelsea, so I trust him to do a fine job there if he is given a lot of time to work with the lads.

Whether Mourinho will succeed in bringing Madrid back to winning the title or will it take time, let's just wait and see how he performs next season, but if you look at the preparations he and Perez have made in the transfer market, it is clear that Mourinho wants to bring a title to the fans this season.

Alonso and Arbeloa were experiments by Perez that probably should never have happened. As for Mourinho, it's difficult to give a clear answer, on the one hand, his recent years haven't been particularly impressive. On the other hand, returning to Real Madrid would be a dream opportunity for him, a second chance that he has to make the most of.

I don't know whether football will become boring under him. What I do expect is that Real Madrid will definitely improve defensively, as for their attacking play, we'll just have to wait and see.

I wouldn't agree on that when it comes to Xabi Alonso. He isn't a manager who deserves to be underestimated. He has already proven his skills as a young manager.

We have all seen how incredible his time was at Leverkusen. He made his team Bundesliga champions ahead of Bayern Munich by even breaking records! 

But for Arbeloa, I also think the same. It was meaningless to sack Xabi Alonso for him.

Whether or not Mourinho succeeds in leading Real Madrid to a new title will depend on how the team performs at the start of next season. Of course, Mourinho needs time, and it’s difficult to expect immediate results from his tenure at Real Madrid, but at the very least, based on Real Madrid’s moves in the transfer market, fans have high hopes that Mourinho will be able to revitalize the team and win trophies next season. So, yes, let’s just wait and see how Real Madrid performs under Mourinho next season. Hopefully, Mourinho can live up to the fans’ expectations.

[Pandu Geddon]

We don't know yet whether the recruit will succeed or not before the new season starts. Once the season begins, we'll see if the player's quality matches the price or not. Anyway, Barcelona has surely considered this, and all the fans will definitely hope for a good performance from every new recruit. Hopefully, Gordon will perform better.

I still feel this outrage of Gordon not being worth 80m is just uncalled for, we've come to the time in football where that money isn't that much, imagine Yan Diomande being worth over 100m yet Gordon who have been called up for the England National Team if am not mistaken 4 times in a row now. I promise you they Gordon is going to be spectacular next season. I don't know for goals but surely he's going to get his assists, I just want Barcelona to get a good striker

Barcelona is currently looking for a good striker to replace Lewandowski. There are rumors about Barcelona being interested in Kane, but it seems like those rumors won't come true. 
Besides that, there is also news that Barcelona is interested in Mikel Oyarzabal, which also seems to have been rejected. Right now, we are still waiting to see who will be Barcelona’s next target.

[kennycryptoitalia]

I wouldn't agree on that when it comes to Xabi Alonso. He isn't a manager who deserves to be underestimated. He has already proven his skills as a young manager.

We have all seen how incredible his time was at Leverkusen. He made his team Bundesliga champions ahead of Bayern Munich by even breaking records! 

But for Arbeloa, I also think the same. It was meaningless to sack Xabi Alonso for him.

Unfortunately, from what i understand, he clashed with some players and Real Madrid preferred to send him away rather than agree with him and punish some players.
I honestly don't know if it was a right or wrong choice, i don't have the elements to evaluate.
As you say, he seems like a good coach to me.

He could do it, he's a specialist in these things.
When he becomes team coach he concentrates everything on himself, even stress.
It becomes a sort of shield for the players and he takes all the arrows and spears on him.
I have understood over the years that he does it on purpose, to avoid stressing the players at all.

[Lannakosa]

Atletico Madrid don't want to give Barcelona any chance to let Alvarez go because they consider him as the key man for the team, that's why they don't want Barcelona to make any movement concerning him.

Yes simhen would be a perfect replacement for Lewandowski but with the financial challenges in Barcelona, do you think can even get Osimhen? And honestly with news I saw before, I'm not sure he has intention to play for Barcelona.

In my opinion, after Laporta's statement regarding Alvarez, the hype around him died down, although nothing has been announced, meaning Atlético still doesn't want to let him go. I don't think Alvarez is the only striker Barcelona could sign, so they should look at other forwards who are more readily available on the transfer market. Osimhen is also a good forward, so perhaps Barcelona will try to reach an agreement with Galatasaray.

So, yes, let?s just wait and see how Real Madrid performs under Mourinho next season. Hopefully, Mourinho can live up to the fans? expectations.

Let's not exaggerate, even a new title, i don't think so.
In my opinion the objective they gave Jose Mourinho is to fix all the problems in the team.
With the players he has he could make two teams and win everything, but instead he sucks.
Obviously something needs to be fixed.
