La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[RockBell]

Mourinho is one coach that does not tolerate any form of trash or rubbish from any player who is refusing to abide by his terms with which he is managing the team. A lot of players does respect him too knowing his stance with discipline, so some may even not dare want to be on his bad book, especially if he is in charge of their team because he can apply measures that will affect your career in the team.

The indiscipline case in Real Madrid’s dressing room that has started to affect their performance was the main reason by Jose Mourinho was considered to come back to coach the team, he can actually control these players because he is an experienced coach with some tactics that can help the team regain peace among the players and to also help the team improve in their performance; however, it is still not yet a guarantee that he will succeed in the team despite all the players in the team, but there is a good hope that he can do the job because he have experience and the team is willing to support him by signing more players to ease his work.

That was one of the problems that was affecting real Madrid they lacked discipline and the way they have been performing was very poor because if they had discipline it will be something that we know already but it was just like they don't even have serious regard for them selfs because if they had good team work then they won't be having the same problem of poor performance because one of there major problems was that they have very poor team work because if they had a very good team work then they won't have a problem with how they have been performing they would have even performed better than what they are performing now but we just believe that jose Mourinho is going to fix the club since everyone is applauding the management for bringing him.

I want to heard that he is going to Arsenal but it has never been authentic that is why I haven't seen anything related to that. When I first saw the news of Arsenal being interested in him, I was so much Happy that if he will be in Arsenal definitely will we expect a lot of progress in Arsenal next season's performance. Alvarez is a very good player and can perform very well in Arsenal.

Athletico isn't doing the best by stopping Alvarez from leaving, they can make a good profit from selling him. There's no point holding him back since he desires to leave. On the other hand I don't like Barcelona for him, they're broke at the moment and may struggle to keep up with his demands. Real Madrid would've been a better place for him, they still need a good CF and Mbappe isn't fitting into the role well, same with Arsenal, but I doubt he'll be moving to England this summer.

[Marykeller]

After his offer was rejected by Atlético Madrid, and compounded by the club president’s firm statement that Álvarez is not for sale, the rumors linking Álvarez to Barcelona have naturally died down. Of course, Barcelona has several other options, but based on the rumors circulating, I don’t think any of them are top-tier strikers. But you never know, maybe after the World Cup, Barcelona will surprise us by signing a top striker.

Barcelona will still wait for a formal response to their offer. But according to the recent news yes, it looks like Atletico Madrid president doesn't have any intention to sell him.

It's sad to see a that skilled forward to waste his time there though. In the end the number of trophies he can achieve with his current team is limited. Rarely a La Liga title and that's it.

Even though Atletico Madrid president decide not to sell the player I don't think it will stop Barcelona not to display well next season, because they are still keeping their potential players that will not make the club regret for the players they are planning to release. One thing I know about this Barcelona coach is that he will not allow their president to sell players that will make the club to experience poor performance, which is not the wish of Barcelona in this coach regime.

Oh you think without the Player in Barcelona, Barcelona will not going to perform better in this season,I don't think so and Barcelona coach can show interest in another new players that will be more experience in football game than this Atletico Madrid player.  I don't think Barcelona is weak and they can change their mind not to sell or buy any player till next summer, because they have potential players that are still young.

I agree with you that Barcelona is not weak, but for you to give the opinion that Barcelona will be okay the way they are without signing a single player is where you get it wrong because the situation of injuries hitting on any of the key players, can make the team to experience lapses that could make them to lose matches. Haven't you thought of that? That's why clubs take it upon themselves to sign players to fill in the gaps when injuries occurred that could destabilize the team.

I think, Barcelona may choose to sign different player if Alvarez is not of their reach. The transfer window is open to think of players to sign.

Real Madrid would've been a better place for him, they still need a good CF and Mbappe isn't fitting into the role well, same with Arsenal, but I doubt he'll be moving to England this summer.

Yes, I also don't understand the mindset of Atletico Madrid's management, because basically, why keep Alvarez on the team if he's no longer comfortable there? Because it certainly has the potential to make Alvarez not give his best performance if he continues to be kept at Atletico Madrid. Therefore, I think Atletico Madrid clearly needs to immediately change their mind and sell Alvarez to whichever team can make the best offer. Besides, if Alvarez goes to Real Madrid, it would certainly be very nice, but I think currently Barcelona is the most eager to bring in this one striker.

So with that in mind, I think if Alvarez is released, he will most likely join Barcelona. But given the current situation, I think Alvarez will definitely continue to be retained by Atletico Madrid. So with that in mind, I don't think we need to be too hopeful that Alvarez will join Barcelona or Real Madrid, because I think Atletico Madrid will remain steadfast in its current stance.

Barcelona's financial situation doesn't seem to be as bad as it used to be, as they were able to spend a significant amount of money on the Gordon transfer. Real Madrid is certainly in a better financial position, but Alvarez is a player who wouldn't be allowed to transfer to another Madrid team. Atletico Madrid might send him to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid, because there's fierce rivalry between the two clubs. In the past, many players from Atletico have gone to Barcelona. If Barcelona can meet Atletico's asking price, they could complete the transfer of the Argentinian player.

It's been a long time that people have been talking about Barcelona finances, but still they are doing usual business and have players with high transfer fees and salaries. For me, it's just chaos. As mentioned, they bring Gordon, which clearly shows they are capable of doing things that they need better for them.

Now having Alvarez is surely good, but I am not expecting Atletico Madrid will be done with this business easily because they are also well aware of his potential and importance right now. In the media, things are looking not good, but still in soccer anything is possible. Atletico can take a big profit, which can give them a good boost for having things on a good level.

The club's debts are still very high, with various sources citing €469-850 million in debt, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't update their squad, otherwise they'll be uncompetitive. Real Madrid is much better off financially, and I think that's because they approach transfers a little differently, often bringing in expensive players as free agents, while Barcelona buys expensive players. Everyone operates within their means, but Barcelona still has very large debts.

One thing about a player who is no longer interested in a team is that he is not going to perform well again in any case, his total performance will be a mess since he is no longer interested in the team, once a player starts showing less interest in a team, it is always best to let him go as further restraint to keep him may only lead to the team suffering from his poor performance.

Another CF candidate for Barcelona is said to be Gyökeres... You know things haven't been going very well for him at Arsenal. He actually improved in the second part of the season but the general look wasn't great.

In case of an offer he might think of leaving for Barcelona. I don't think Arteta would be very stubborn about keeping him. He can use Havertz or sign another name. He likes to use Havertz there already though.

Gyokeres will probably not mind joining Barcelona if there is an offer, and I think he will be able to perform well, because another advantage if he plays with Barcelona is the fact he is the type of modern attacking player, who not only plays as a target man but can also create independent opportunities with his physical strength, besides that he has the speed needed by Barcelona, but the big question is will it happen? the problem is Barcelona finances.

Viktor Gyökeres recently signed for Arsenal though. I don't see him leaving already. If the Arsenal team plays to his strength, he bangs a lot of goals next season but if otherwise and he gets less minu,I reckon he looks for more minutes outside but for now? Nothing literally. In my opinion, Gyökeres a better assest than Kai Havertz. Barcelona will try again to get Julian Alvarez though. The world cup ended already.

Real Madrid? You've been fooled, because even though Madrid offered 200 euros for Alvares, it wasn't because they wanted him, but because they wanted to prevent Barcelona from acquiring him. I think this is already widely known, so basically Madrid offer wasn't a serious one.
An English club? That's also unlikely, as €200 million automatically means Alvarez price tag will have to be higher if they want to sign him.

Atletico Madrid are pushing too hard, even though they have received a good offer for Alvarez. They could profit from the sale and look for other players at a cheaper price. Holding back Alvarez departure was a blunder by Atletico management, especially since he had already expressed his intention to leave. Lewandowski departure frees up salary for Alvarez, especially since they have the funds to buy him. That's probably why Barcelona is so keen on signing him. Real Madrid might be a good place for Alvarez, but the management has not shown any interest in bringing him in. Arsenal also fits Alvarez style of play very well, but his current desire is to play for Barcelona.

[bitgolden]

Real Madrid making huge moves, getting players worth 200+ million total, while Barcelona is just watching.

I am not sure what the yare trusting ,maybe the fact that they won two in a row made them a bit more overconfident and they think that they do not need much to win again, and they have something working and why fix it if it is not broken mentality making them not make that much of a move.

I think, we should see Barcelona making a mistake, but we can't know about it until the season starts, we have to first see the start of the season and how the yare doing.

After having spent a significant sum on Gordon, i don't know how much it would be worth it for Barcelona to acquire Alvarez's contract, because they will have also found a way to buy the former Newcastle player but i don't think they are completely out of debt, and taking the boy from Madrid would be complicated considering that Atletico expects a figure higher than 100 million.

I would say that Mourinho doesn't mince his words when it comes to saying things as he thinks, with him episodes like the one between Tchouameni and Valverde won't happen because their days are numbered, this kind of thing happens when there isn't a correct team approach, to win something that history has taught us and that the group must always be united, if that is missing everything is missing.

Alvarez has already caused quite a stir in Spain, he will certainly want to go to a higher level team to be able to compete seriously for the champions and for the trophies of the season, i agree that keeping a player who wants to leave is counterproductive because it would certainly make him less.

Barcelona is already a proper team. They have good chemistry. So there must not need to bring a lot of new players because they can also compete with their available squad. They only lacking of last puzzle which is a proper striker.

So they will make a mistake just because they don't sign new player. A proper chemistry must not be disturbed with the new player who can't play along with their harmony.

Madrid's big signings don't guarantee them to win La Liga too.

Barcelona have several players for Spanish national team that won Euro 2024 and World Cup 2026, so their club actually have very good player resource for competitions in La Liga and UEFA Champions League. They are very competitive but winning big titles at club level is not easy, as in La Liga Real Madrid will have bigger challenge against Barcelona next season, while in UEFA Champions League, there are several strong competitors like PSG, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid will not easily let Barcelona dominating it.

Madrid's big signings don't guarantee them to win La Liga too.

With Real Madrid, their next season will be very interesting with management of Jose Mourinho but one thing I noticed recent days, the likely conflict between Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. I watched the match but did not noticed too details, however recent days there are videos on X posts about Mbappe action after the 3rd place match ended. He walked around, fingers crossed with many English players, exception is Jude Bellingham. It's not how teammates at a club should treat each other, as Jude Bellingham should be the first or one of the first English players Mbappe reaching and saying something after a final whistle.

After the departure of Carlos Ancelotti, things have never been peaceful. Young Xabi Alonso failed to keep discipline, which increased Real Madrid's problems after his exit. The new young coach was also not having any control, which gave them the worst things around them near the end of the season.

A few players were increasing serious troubles just because of this management. Make good decisions and bring in Jose Mourinho; this could be good because this will allow them to have good discipline, and then improvement in performance this season is going to be challenging for them because Barcelona is still far ahead of them and they are surely not giving them any space for the title race.
