La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Ummeettaa]

Finishing is entirely a matter of talent. Lewandowski is a very good finisher, as is Mbappé, but Ferran doesn't have the same level of finishing ability as them. However, we see that he tires the defense, runs into many positions, and makes himself invisible. He creates many chances. If he works on his finishing a little more, he could become one of the best strikers in the world. He already gets into many positions at Barcelona; the important thing is being able to convert them into goals.

With no doubt Robert Lewandowski is one of the best striker in the world of football, he has proven so with the numbers of the goals he has scored and contributed in his four years in laliga, even after leaving bugesliga at the age of 33 years.

After Lewandowski left Bayern Munich to Barcelona, most people criticized him that he was old but he proved them wrong by scoring 134 goals in 190 appearance for Barcelona after finishing his first season as Laliga top scorer, all in the verge of 4 seasons.

Lewandowski has made history in his four years in Spain and will remain one of Barcelona and Laliga history Striker.

Yes, if Barcelona is smart they will give him more playing time to ensure that he can continue on this trail of trust that he began to pursue during this World Cup, or they will sell him at a higher price thanks to his latest performances, the important thing is that today he plays because with more awareness and more confidence in making an impact he can really do very well.

I still don't like Torres as a striker, he has a problem with finishing. Spain won the title based on his one goal in the World Cup final, but he wasted many chances throughout the World Cup. The main heroes of Spain's World Cup victory were their defenders, they only conceded 1 goal in the entire World Cup.

Last season, Torres was a reliable striker for Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona lacked a good finisher. That's why Barcelona had to plan to bring Alvarez to the team. Barcelona will definitely not rely on this player in the upcoming season, maybe they will sell him or try to keep a substitute player. That goal in the World Cup is nothing special.

I agree with you about Torres; his finishing still isn't quite at the desired level.
Barcelona still hasn't signed an effective striker for that position.
Real Madrid won't be the same this year as they were last season. Barcelona clinched the title towards the end of the campaign, but they definitely need to sign an alternative striker to partner with Torres.
They will be competing on three fronts, and Torres can't be effective in all of them.
Signing a truly effective striker would be more beneficial than trying to acquire Alvarez.
For instance, Balogun from Monaco is a striker who fits Barcelona's style of play perfectly. Monaco would let him go for 50 million euros. If I were in the Barça management's shoes, I'd bring him straight into the squad.

It's not about how bad ferran tores will be the problem is how we can start the season without striker Lewandowski leave Barcelona and now Ferran Tores are planning to leave also how Barcelona can start the new season without any striker in the squad. Barcelona are focusing to bring Alvarez but it's very complicated deal. Barcelona need to give contact to Feran Tores one more season then they can sell of ferran Tores.  I know they score the wining goal at worldcup final and has value directly increases but one important thing Barcelona can give 10 million to Manchester City if they want to sell ferran tores.

Hansi Flick will definitely sign a striker, I don't think they will start the season without a striker. Karim Adeyemi may be used by Hansi Flick as a striker, but this is not the solution for Barcelona. They definitely need a worthy replacement for Lewandowski, Karim Adeyemi or Ferran Torres are not the options. Adeyemi had a very bad last season, it is not yet possible to say how he will perform at Barcelona.
I think it is best to forget about the Alvarez deal, because the chances of that deal failing are high. Hansi Flick would be wise to look for another player to replace him. There is not much time left until the start of the season, they will have to make a decision very soon.

[Oluwa-btc]

Ome more year for Vinicius Junior in his contract with Real Madrid. I feel he will observe how it goes under Jose Mourinho this season to determine if he is to stay or leave to try other challenges elsewhere like in the Premier League Competition or or move to the Saudis. I'm only speculating though, I don't know what happens in the future.

Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone, I also had this thought it will be his last with them but it wasn't. He failed to win that Copa del rey Competition which we all thought would've been a good sendoff but it wasn't. I wonder what would be his plan ahead of the new season.

Real Madrid currently has three options regarding Vinicius. First, they could agree to new terms for him, which I honestly doubt. Second, they could put him up for sale this summer, which is entirely possiblem but I think Mourinho won't let that happen, so as not to lose a good forward before the new season. And the third option is do nothing and wait until next summer. In that case, Vinicius would play the season with Real Madrid and then leave as a free agent. In that case, I don't think that's very acceptable for Real Madrid, because they could potentially lose a lot of money. And then, they'd be losing a forward who would be better off staying with the team.

It would not be wise to let Vinicius go. Vinicius has made a great contribution to Real Madrid, but his performance has not been reflected in his chemistry with Mbappe in the forward line in recent times. But he is a great player. Real Madrid may not sell him now, but rather keep him in the team and wait for the performance of the current season. If the performance and improvement are good and the relationship with Mbappe is good, then Vinicius Junior will try to renew his contract.

But if the performance and the relationship with Mbappe do not improve, then he may be released as a free agent next summer. If the performance of both players is affected due to the deterioration of the relationship between Vinicius and Mbappe, then one of them may have to leave the club, it is not yet possible to say who it will be.

[Dzwaafu11]

Maybe Torres will now get some extra motivation and start scoring goals in the league. In my opinion, the only thing he has changed is his hairstyle. This goal in the final could be a turning point for him and give him a new boost, but he will have to improve his form if he wants to keep scoring goals. I think Barcelona will undoubtedly find an adequate solution they are old foxes, hehe.

Yes, if Barcelona is smart they will give him more playing time to ensure that he can continue on this trail of trust that he began to pursue during this World Cup, or they will sell him at a higher price thanks to his latest performances, the important thing is that today he plays because with more awareness and more confidence in making an impact he can really do very well.

Torres performance was really good during the World cup competition, which is really good the player performance and confidence is going to boost because of the performance he have shown during the world cup.

Barcelona is going to keep this player, since they are trying to get Alvarez already, they will actually get a good finisher if Alvarez come in, so let's see how the player performance will be when the season start, but I'm very sure he won't do less than what he as done during this world cup.

All Barcelona target this transfer window have been declared by their various club that they are not for sale. We saw both Atletico Madrid and Chelsea telling Barcelona that Alvarez and joao Pedro not for sale. Barcelona needs to Come up with a solution real fast, they need to start the season with a proper number 9, a striker that can get things done for them.

We saw how Real Madrid have been preparing these window, and it seems they are not even done yet. For me I still don’t understand the signing of Adeyemi, they Could have use that fee and add some more to get a proper striker. Well it still too early to judge as the window is still actively open.

I'm only speculating though, I don't know what happens in the future.

For now I will not encourage Vinicius Junior to go to the Saudi league because, he is at the peak of his career should should stay in Europe for the next two to three seasons before thinking about leaving Europe. I believe that Vini junior is going to do well under Mourinho because his style of play is going suits Mourinho defense and attacking pattern of play. Let see how this season is going to turn around for Vini junior and Madrid as a team but one thing am sure about is that, Vinicius Junior is definitely going to do well under Mourinho.


I believe that this season there is going to be a change in terms of the approach and the way that madrid is going to play. Because last season one of the things that were really lacking in this madrid side was the attacking line up. Mourinho should play more of an attacking minded game because that's the basis upon which they are going to give Barcelona tough time when it comes to the league challenge.

I think I agree with you on Vini waiting to see how life at the club will be for him under Mourinho, if they have a good relationship, that's when he will sign a new contract. Since last season, they have been wanting him to sign contract extension and his been stalling on it for a while now. Since the arrival of Mbappe, Vini hasn't been the one running the show just as he was after the departure of Benzema. I can understand how frustrating that will be for him but it is what it is. I think he will just observe within the first few months to make up his mind either to stay or to leave. Some top  premier league clubs have been showing interest in him for a while now, when the season begins, we will know what's really going to happen.

Same here. Ferran is not a proper 9 a team should rely on. In Spain, he was opportunited to be in the right place to put the ball at the back of the net. He had made terrible shots before that one opportunity. I started watching Ferran Torres right from Manchester City. Back when he joined Manchester City from Valencia, he scored 16 goals in 43 appearances. Along the way, his performance dropped till he joined Barcelona. Barcelona will have to look for another striker with a different quality from Torres.

[Slow death]

With no doubt Robert Lewandowski is one of the best striker in the world of football, he has proven so with the numbers of the goals he has scored and contributed in his four years in laliga, even after leaving bugesliga at the age of 33 years.

After Lewandowski left Bayern Munich to Barcelona, most people criticized him that he was old but he proved them wrong by scoring 134 goals in 190 appearance for Barcelona after finishing his first season as Laliga top scorer, all in the verge of 4 seasons.

Lewandowski has made history in his four years in Spain and will remain one of Barcelona and Laliga history Striker.

The most unbelievable thing about his story is that Lech Poznan sold him to Dortmund for €4.75 million in the 2010-2011 season, and four years later he left Dortmund for Bayern Munich for free. At Bayern, he played so well that Barcelona paid €45 million for him, and he left Barcelona for free to play for Chicago. So Dortmund profited a lot from him. But Bayern profited the most, more than nine times as much. He deserved many individual awards, but unfortunately his country doesn't achieve great things, which is why he didn't reach the top like Messi and Ronaldo in terms of popularity.

That guy is not reliable to lead a team attack. I have noticed that Ferran Torres does well when he his coming from the bench. It's always horrible when watching start a match, that guy can miss 3-4 big chances before he can manage to score 1. I know how many key passes and chances Lamine Yamal has created for him last season. Even during his world cup match against Cape Verde, we saw the kind of chance he missed, he just need to work on his finishing. I would love if Barcelona can keep him as a backup striker, if he can agree to that. But I am sure he won't want that since he scored in that world cup final, so he might expecting a better contract offer. I am hearing some rumours that he wants to go to PSG, my question is who will he bench in that attack. He should just accept Barcelona next offer of him being a backup striker.

Ferran Torres  .
The Bad finishing is majorly the problem he has, follow by his passing accuracy which also sucks . Despite that he was still able to score that much goals in laliga but at the cost of wasting assists from Yamal.

He had a bad performance in World Cup, I hope just a single goal wouldn't convince Barcelona again

He was never a reliable player , he has always been a backup  who only got more chancenafter Lewandowski injury. His play is inform of a cycle (from good to bad to worse then to good again ).

Relying on him for next season depends on if Barcelona is able to sign Julian Alvarez or not  and the performance of new strikers in the preseason.
Barcelona only need one final sauce at the moment, and it's a reliable striker.

Ferran Torres is not a bad player, it's just that he is not at the level required to lead Barcelona attack. Players of his quality should be playing for a team like Elche, osasuna, Espanol or girona, not a top team like Barcelona that have high expectations that exceed his capabilities.
His stay at Manchester City was cut short very early because they knew that he cannot win them the uefa champions league with his wastefulness in front of goal, so Barcelona as a footballing institute understand this fact, that's why they are doing everything to get Alvarez to sign, because he is more reliable in front of goal than ferran Torres.

[KingsDen]

Ferran Torres  ended last season with 16 goals  and 2 assists with 33 games played in the Laliga. To me that wasn't a bad stat for a top striker. Everyone can't shine at the same time, some players are naturally gifted others work hard to maintain and compete with their equals. Ferran Torres skills is primarily developed through rigorous training and tactical development. His attacking form can be traced to Man City when he was under Pep's management where he transitioned from a winger to a highly efficient forward. This is a player that has been through different professional conditioning making him versatile.  I believe in coming seasons he will harness more potentials.

The statics shows that Ferran Torres is not a bad striker, but the point is that he plays more of a Shadow striker, he likes falling deep, and from the wing. Barcelona needs a solid No. 9 just like Lewandowski. I remember the time of Eto'o, he likes falling deep and also finishes as well. but it is hard to find quality strikers like that again. Ferran scores goals, but he is not a type of player that should start a game for Barcelona. Barcelona will have to sign a natural No.9, then Ferran can come on as a substitute.

At times there are some unimaginable mistakes we do without knowing its very important in football and one this mistake is generally classifying a midfielder as a striker because he can score goals, Looking at ferran Torres and classifying him as an attacker is a complete mistake because he is not in possession of the qualities of an attacker.
Using players like Osimhen, Haaland or even lewandowski as a case study, you will notice that there positioning point is always at the forefront where he will be expecting balls to score and not going deep at the midfield the way ferran torres normally do.
The work of an attacker is to move,  position and wait at the pin point where chance conversion can be possible,  not that he won't go home to help his team when the need arises but he can never forget his rightful position at yhe pitch.

[SUPERSAIAN]

I agree. Ferran isn't a true number 9 that a team can rely on. In Spain, he got the opportunity to be in the right place to put the ball in the net. Before that opportunity, he had very poor shots. I've been watching Ferran Torres since his time at Manchester City. When he transferred from Valencia to Manchester City, he scored 16 goals in 43 matches. Over time, his performance declined, and he transferred to Barcelona.

Barcelona will have to look for another striker of a different caliber than Torres.
