La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Rashlyowl]

Most of Barca’s team will return with the Worldcup and will be in top-notch form and high morale. This worldcup would definitely have a positive impact on on Barca as the players’ morale will be at high levels and they will perform their best. Madrid fans supported Spain Against Argentina but now they have to get ready to bear consequences 😁

I think you need to distinguish between supporting a club & supporting the national team, there are no consequences that Real Madrid & its supporters should have to face. Admittedly, Real Madrid did not contribute to Spain's 2026 world cup victory, yet they should still take pride in the win. All the players will return to their respective clubs. Personally, I really can't wait to see how the season unfolds.

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.

About Gyokeres actually whether Arsenal do not know how to play him or indeed in such a performance, if he managed to enter Barcelona and can show a better ability than the performance at Arsenal this can be the answer for all of us.

Yes, Arteta has started working with Harvertz, the important question is also who can be another option for Harvertz's replacement later, in the current market it is very difficult to find a suitable player.

Smiles, do you guys actually think Mikel Arteta is really gonna risk that? Like after being sure of one attacker then suddenly he sell him and start looking for a replacement for him, like why would he try such a thing, I think Barcelona is totally confused, and again even if Mikel Arteta decides to sell him now can Barcelona come up with their asking price, what if Arsenal said it's £100m+  can they be able to meet up the demand? Because for I know if Arsenal really wants to sell him they will not ask for anything less than 100m+

Barcelona's financial situation has indeed improved compared to before, but spending a huge amount of money in the hope of signing Alvarez would, in my opinion, be an unwise decision. Barcelona have only recently secured a loan (€210m if I remember correctly). If they were to sign a player with such a massive transfer fee, it would inevitably create additional financial burdens down the line.

As for where Alvarez will end up, that is not entirely under Atletico's control. If the player wants to join either Real Madrid or Barcelona, Atletico can only approve the move as long as the transfer fee is acceptable and they have already found a suitable replacement.

The loan is not a smart move neither, that is what the problem is. I have always said the same thing for the past three seasons, and I will say it again. They are giving up future profits, and they are using whatever they can, to make it work today. They do not realize that, they are just postponing the doom. If they have given up on league title chase, and instead, realized that they could be better in the future instead, they would be out of debt today.

Yes that makes no sense to some people, but spend ZERO on transfers, and just use players from La Masia, only from La Masia, never go get anyone new, sell some players when you need some cash, and then use the income to pay of f the debt. They would have zero loans, zero debt and only thing left would be stadium debt, which will pay for itself. Now instead of that, they have loans, debts, and future income sold, they are going to be royally f-cked when the time comes to pay all of that and they will have to sell for even more future income.

Alvarez want to leave Athletico Madrid to Barcelona and I think the management should consider his decision, because if he continue staying in Athletico Madrid he may not perform as they want and honestly which will affect them. So I feel like they rather let him go than keeping him when he is not more interested in staying the team.

Barcelona want him, and to me the amount to me the amount which you mention is okay, if Barcelona can be able to pay such amount and get the player, because he is so talented.

Atletico Madrid perhaps Barcelona can reach agreement deal for fees transfer around 150 million euro, recently Real Madrid have offer with that amount but rejected by Atletico and want to get higher offering for their players. Barcelona if want to sign Julian Alvarez I think have top spent above 150 million euro and Atletico Madrid rejected deal with swap transaction.

Having money after selling Ferran Torres to PSG seems Barcelona have chance to get Julian Alvarez, however fees transfer is most important for both teams if want to reach agreement deal and Julian Alvarez will move to Barcelona next season. The world cup have been over and few week later the player will back to their club start training for next season, so Alvarez back to Atletico Madrid or move to Barcelona at first training?

This worldcup would definitely have a positive impact on on Barca as the players’ morale will be at high levels and they will perform their best. Madrid fans supported Spain Against Argentina but now they have to get ready to bear consequences 😁

The reason why Madrid fans supported Spain to win is because they don't want Messi to win a second World Cup. Since the World Cup tournament kicked off, Real Madrid fans has always been against Argentina so their greatest fear was to see Lionel Messi win another world cup while Cristiano Ronaldo had none. At the end of the day it's all a win for Barcelona because 8 of their players has added the world cup trophy to wall of achievements in their football career especially the young lad, Lamine Yamal. Barcelona players will sure start the new season with a high shoulder for winning the world cup but their performance is not certain because it's been a busy World Cup for them and some of their players won't even have enough rest before the new season matches will resume.

There was a reason Madrid fans all around the world were against Spain from the beginning. Only Spanish Madrid fans were the set of Madrid fans that supported Spain, and even they started pushing narratives that Barcelona was the reason Spain wouldn't win the World Cup after they drew with Cape Verde.
There is a very strong rivalry between those clubs, and they don't like to see each other's players succeed. The fact that players like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Cubarsi, Olmo, and Gavi have a World Cup is not something Madrid fans like. They only supported Spain because at the time, they seemed like the "lesser evil", but with time they will see that it's not. It would have been better for Messi to win it because he's already the best player in the world; not winning or winning it won't change that, but Lamine having a World cup means, it's just a UCL and balon d'or away from completing football.

If they think Barcelona would go higher than that then they're dreaming, Barcelona would've splashed a huge offer to convince them if they're so desperate for him but they're not, that's why they're calm about the situation and monitoring how it would end, they better accept the offer from Real Madrid or end up losing him for something cheaper in future.

 Well let's see if the money they'll get for Torres would be enough to add up and get him. Alvarez really want to join them but Atletico Madrid wants more money from any team willing to pay, maybe if Alvarez pressure Atletico's board about leaving, it would be more easier for Barcelona, I'll keep monitoring the situation cause I'm eager to know where he'll end up.

Real Madrid has made it clear that they have not made a contract with Alvarez and they don't plant to do sign him, I don't know where you get those figures and Atletico Madrid has also responded that they are not selling Alvarez at this moment. So where is the amount coming from, everyone just make their speculations and call figures but I don't think Alvares will to Real Madrid, they don't even have the money t spend right now, they will not pay all this together.

What is not interesting is if Barcelona eventually bought him. I wonder how he was going to do, it's hard for Barcelona to leave a player and go without a contract. I don't think Barcelona are going to allow their player bought with this amount, I even wonder why the players laughing, it's rare to see Barcelona and their players in this Kind of ways.

The news of transfer circulating at this time seems to be baseless. Large teams, such as Real Madrid or Barcelona, have definite expenditure policies already. The above-mentioned high figures are just an estimate. It is much better to passively wait and see what is really going on than to accept rumors whose proviation is unknown.

Whether it was Messi who won the World Cup or Yamal and his teammates, the consequences would be the same for Real Madrid because they will hear the same talk about Barcelona current or ex-players being the best and the cause of victory for their nations.
Generally people are supporting Spain because it is their nation and for their fans around the world because they dislike FIFA or Argentina or for political reasons.

Honestly, this Julian Alvarez saga is a total mess right now. You are completely right about the crazy rumors. The fact is, Real Madrid actually did announce they had a €150 million bid rejected by Atletico Madrid back in June. That is where those wild numbers are coming from!

Now that the 2026 World Cup is officially over, things are getting tense. Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirmed they made a €100 million offer, but they set a strict deadline until July 31 for Atletico to accept it. Atletico’s board keeps saying he is absolutely not for sale, but Álvarez already asked to leave and might even refuse to train. It is hard to see Barca pulling this off without overspending. Let's see where he actually shows up for first training!

It not the first time we see a country wins the World Cup which is dominated by a team, for me I don’t think it will have much of an impact in Barcelona performance next season. The league is a very long journey and sooner or later the World Cup feeling will wear off.

For sure we are going to see a very interesting and competitive season coming, considering how both teams have been preparing in the transfer market. I also can’t wait to see next season start.

World Cup hype dies down fast once the league grind kicks in. But you can't deny Barca players will walk into the pre-season with massive confidence. I mean, Ferran Torres literally scored the 106th-minute winner in the final against Argentina, so he’s going to feel like a god for a while. Still, Real Madrid always finds a way to bounce back, and like you said, the transfer window is where the real war is won. It's gonna be a banger of a season for sure!

Ultimately the international flights has been over and now everyone will be ready to console on at club. All Spanish players will return to hometown with full of confidence especially Barcelona players because in entire world cup session Barcelona players was absolutely phenomenal like their performance sketch got more sharp....

So new season is on the way and once again we will monitor as great football for Spain POV. FIFA world cup made little bit disappointed because I was waiting for Messi but anyway next season is ready and transfer market chaos is also rising. So I super excited to see Barca progress for next on....

When he said Real Madrid fans will bear the consequences, I just concluded that he probably has very limited knowledge of club football. Real Madrid players didn't make it to the final except for Marc Cucurella while up to 8 Barcelona players were in that Spanish squad. Fermin Lopez has already picked up injury while the others might suffer fatigue playing for Barcelona next season
So Real Madrid fans aren't going suffer because they supported Spain it's Barcelona fans that'll likely suffer the pain of seeing their players easily getting exhausted next season

Yes, it is true that currently in the Spanish national team there are no Real Madrid players participating, maybe only Cucurella, and even then his status is also new to join. But I think that's okay because basically the players who play for Real Madrid, most of the star players are not from Spain, but from other countries. So that's why currently there are very few Real Madrid players who are truly from Spain. But that's okay,, because basically Real Madrid supporters who come from Spain clearly have to support their own national team because it's their country.

So that's why even though most of the Spanish players are not from Real Madrid,, it is not an obstacle for Real Madrid fans to support the Spanish national team. And besides that, I am also really looking forward to the next season starting again, because I really miss the competitive atmosphere that occurs in La Liga. So now we have to be patient waiting for the next season to start.

Spain success in winning the World Cup trophy is the greatest joy for Barcelona supporters because in the Spanish squad there are 8 Barcelona players and most of them are graduates of the La Masia academy. Pau Cubarsi was named the best young player, a deserved recognition for his impressive performances throughout the tournament, including stopping Mbappe in the semifinals and Messi in the final.
Luis de la Fuente decision not to call up Real Madrid players to the Spanish squad was met with ridicule and was considered a blunder, but the Spanish players managed to prove themselves with extraordinary achievements. The success of Yamal and other Barcelona players in bringing Spain to victory in the World Cup trophy will further increase their confidence in defending the La Liga title and further motivate them to win the UCL trophy.

I don't think they'll all be tired because of it, because after all, they're also happy and satisfied with the hard work they've put in at this World Cup. I also have to admit that the Barcelona players put in a fantastic performance, although Marc Cucurella also has a great way of controlling the ball on the sidelines. All in all, the entire Spanish squad at this World Cup was truly exceptional and they deserved the trophy for their efforts and deserved the praise they deserve.

Atletico Madrid will not sell Julian Alvarez to Barcelona or Real Madrid under any circumstances. I don't know why people haven't realized that the point here isn't about money, but about pride. Atletico Madrid has already made it very clear to Barcelona and Real Madrid that they will not sell Julian Alvarez. When a club reaches the point of intending to go to court to prevent another club from poaching their player, then that club has already made a definitive decision not to sell that player.

The CEO of Atletico Madrid has also said that they didn't sell the player. He has a long-term contract and must fulfill it. Before signing the long-term contract, he should have thought it through, but he preferred to sign. So now he must fulfill everything in the contract, and Barcelona should stop pursuing him. They had time in the past to sign him, but they didn't.

The barcelona players playing in the World Cup final will undoubtedly have a strong mentality, as Spain defeated Argentina to become champions. Indeed, Real Madrid fans must be ready to see Barcelona's players perform well when they return to La Liga This will undoubtedly be exciting, and Real Madrid must prepare everything for upcoming matches, such as el Clasico

However, the La Liga rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona will undoubtedly be exciting, as Real Madrid's squad has the potential to be even stronger next season, especially with Cucurella's arrival I'm curious about Real Madrid and Barcelona's performance next season
