La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Oluwa-btc]

This Haaland discussion ongoing is because of an interest by Barcelona in him recently that I don't know of? In the past, some news sources linked him with them.

But I don't think he is leaving Manchester City anytime soon... Even after Guardiola's departure it doesn't seem possible for now.

But I wouldn't say no to watching him at Barcelona or Real Madrid one day. He would fit them both I believe.

Barcelona right now making chase for Julian Alvarez but they have seen too many of their advances rebuffed by Atlético Madrid. Yes the player wants the move and he has previously made a public plea to leave but they're still stiffneck over him leaving for Barcelona. I have been all around top journalist and there's literally zero information linking Erling Haaland to Barcelona at this point in time.

He will most definitely leave some day, but he will be part of Enzo Maresca and his project ahead of the new season.

We don't know what the future brings, but it should be an exciting experience for the viking.

Haaland is under contract with City until 2034. Frankly, I doubt he'll stay with one team that long. Although, who knows anything can happen in football. But I agree with you that it would be very interesting to see this player in other teams. I was also thinking that it would be great to see what he could achieve at Bayern, because their goalscoring record is phenomenal. Or by the way, Barcelona would also be very interesting. I think his anthropometry allows him to play for absolutely any team, and he'll score.

I'm sure he'll choose the best option, whichever team he prefers between Bayern, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid. I didn't know the contract ran until 2034. It's very difficult to predict whether he'll stay at Manchester City until 2034. In my opinion, building a career at Manchester City might be appealing to him, but he might also want a change at some point because he gets bored.

This should not let de la Fuente's impact seem small because he is the one who manages the team extraordinarily well and everyone feels needed although they might be sitting on the bench in the beginning. But you can see that La Liga has an identity when you see the teams play.

Now I would like to see how long de la Fuente will do his job there and how many more titles he can win as a national coach. It is already impressive again, but this team isn't done yet. They have so many young players who are just about to get going actually.

I think the only team that can beat Spain at the next European Championship is Spain itself. I don't see Italy there, England has home advantage, which could be an important factor, France could do it in theory, but as you could see they need to change a lot in order to have a chance.

de la Fuente is an incredible coach who was able to unite a group of boys from rival teams and was able to create a wonderful harmony within the team, he has nothing left to prove given that he won a European Championship and consecutively a World Cup, he will certainly be remembered as a great coach of the Iberian peninsula.

Some people criticizing Mourinho in one or two ways doesn't mean that they think that Mourinho is a small or unprofessional coach. But the point is that, no matter how experienced a coach is, there are some people who may find fault in what he is doing, and that is normal. Nobody is 100% perfect and the person who may find fault in something he is doing may have his own reasons, which may be right or wrong. So, people talk based on their own views and our views will never be the same.

I am not supporting those who are criticizing him in one way or two ways because I believe he is the coach and knows the right players that may be good for him. And before any coach approaches to sign players for a particular position, they may have done their observations first which make them pick the right, but let know again that not every player a coach signs will fully meet the team expectations.

Nobody can know how things will go, a coach can want a player because he thinks he is more suitable for his type of game and then change his mind, for example Isaac scored continuously at Newcastle and after moving to Liverpool he had a drastic drop, this is to say that a player's income is not always as expected.

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.

It's true that Barcelona really needs to find a solution to get another good striker. Competition in La Liga will be fierce next season,, so if Barcelona doesn't find a striker, I'm not sure what will happen to them. Even though Barcelona currently has a Tores, it still can't cover the huge gap left by Lewandowski. That's why Barcelona is definitely having a headache right now..

When it comes to signing Julian Alvarez,, I think the chances of that happening are very slim. That's why I don't know what Barcelona will do right now. If they don't buy another great striker right now, I think it will weaken Barcelona's attack a bit. That's why I think Barcelona should move quickly to find a new player. The time is running out, so Barcelona must make even more of an effort right now.

Every coach has his own player preferences, and we can't be too quick to judge a coach's decisions because each coach has different characteristics. That's what we see with Mourinho, and as you said, we can't conclude anything until we see the results.
And honestly, I wouldn't have high expectations for Mourinho because I think in today's modern era of football, it's a bit difficult for Mourinho or his tactics to compete with top European teams.

In my opinion, Barcelona was quick to let Lewandowski go. He would have been key this season, but honestly, I don't know. They still have good strikers; it's just that it's a bit difficult to get them now. But I've seen that they have some very good kids in their youth academy. They should do what Real Madrid does: bring out the most outstanding players and give them opportunities. That's not a bad thing at all; I think it's a very good option.

If paraventure Olise comes to Real Madrid, it's going to be a nightmare for Barcelona

I thought the rumors about Olise’s transfer had died down after Bayern Munich officials said they wouldn’t sell him. But it turns out that rumors of Olise’s transfer to Real Madrid have resurfaced. I don’t know if Real Madrid will go all out to sign Olise, but if they do, it would clearly be a nightmare for Barcelona, as Real Madrid would have a formidable front line featuring the trio of Vinicius, Mbappé, and Olise. That would certainly result in plenty of goals for Real Madrid.

I don't know if Real Madrid will be able to sign Michael Olise from Bayern Munich, although it is unlikely, but even then, if we put aside the possibility and consider that Michael Olise will eventually play for Madrid, then the improvement in Real Madrid's attack would be really impressive.

We saw the performances of Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappé in France team in the World Cup, the attack that Kylian Mbappé and Michael Olise can create is undoubtedly very good, so if Real Madrid can somehow bring Michael Olise to the team, then it will be a difficult task for any team to resist the attack of Michael Olise, Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior.
Taking Michael Olise to the team will undoubtedly have many advantages, but whether how Madrid will buy Olise is the main question, because I think Bayern will not look at the money.

I think Karim Adeyemi transfer was a fantastic move. Barca pulled off a great signing. And when you look at the cost of this transfer, it becomes even more incredible. They'll only be paying Dortmund €22+7 million. I would've expected Adeyemi to go for a higher price. Even Dortmund paid 30 million when they signed him. I wonder why they let him go for this price now? Anyway, Dortmund's loss is Barca's gain.

[Tmoonz]

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, even though Lewa was quite old when he joined Barcelona,  his performance really hasn't declined at all. So that's truly amazing for a player who is no longer young. So with that, I think he deserves to be remembered and made a legend at Barcelona,  because he has indeed carved his history here. But right now I don't know for sure who will replace him at Barcelona. Because basically, until now I don't know for sure which striker Barcelona will bring in.

Although currently there are rumors that Barcelona is interested in Julian Alvarez, but still it seems very difficult to realize, because Atletico Madrid set a very high price for their mainstay striker. So with that, I think Barcelona clearly must look for other options in case Alvarez can't be brought in this season. So do you know which other striker Barcelona will bring in now?

Lewandowski is was very good at Barcelona no doubt at his age when he moved their he did very well and he deserves some accolades, but making him a Barcelona legend is what I don't understand, like how does this legend of a thing work for you guys this days? How many seasons has he played in that league, what and what has he won for the club then all of a sudden he should be made a legend because he moved to the team at old age and still perform well, haha it's left for Barcelona to do that anyway but to me he's not really worth it, just imagine what Cristiano Ronaldo did at Manchester United but yet they still find it difficult to consider him one of their legends.

A good bargain, no doubt. A $22 million plus a $7 million add-on is quite a cheap deal. Karim Adeyemi is a player whom Hansi Flick trusts most; he has talent and speed. If Hansi Flick gives him the right position, he can easily provide a lot of depth on that wing, which is why I love the idea of signing Karim Adeyemi. They didn’t play in the 2026 World Cup for Germany, but in the 2022 World Cup, Hansi Flick trusted him, and they played the entire tournament. I know Rashford earns more than Adeyemi, but the quality this guy has is not comparable to Rashford's. They are not consistent most of the time, and they miss a lot of chances. That's why I don't want Rashford to stay next season at Barcelona.

Getting Karim Adeyemi at such a price can indeed be said to be lucky for Barcelona, but the price is according to his statistics, 3 seasons at Dortmund Adeyemi did not develop, and maybe this is also the reason Dortmund sold him for a cheap price, I do not know if he will make a better contribution than Rashford, because to be honest, Rahford has been proven, but maybe Flick can maximize Adeyemi talent, after all it has been proven how Flick can make Rashford back into a player to rely on, which means there are equal opportunities for Adeyemi.

Indeed a fantastic move , they hit the perfect spot . I wasn't expecting them to accept anything below € 30M but here we are signing a € 22M deal  with some 7 million add-ons.

Btw, Dortmund loss has always been a lot of club achievement.  They have so much great players  and every year they let them go and keep on producing more.  Just Business ?


Culers , what do you think about this deal ?

Adeyemi's potential looked higher than this at first actually. Dortmund could have sold him for higher amounts if his career was improved much more. But he stayed pretty much the same in the recent years...

I think Barcelona signed him to use him in rotation. Just like they did with Rashford. And honestly he is a good choice for this aim. I believe he can adapt to Hansi Flick football easily as well.

[aipercoin]

Instead of paying for Harry Kane, signing Julian Alvarez makes more sense because Alvarez is younger and could play for Barcelona for many years without problems, provided he doesn't suffer a chronic or serious injury. Harry Kane, despite being at the peak of his performance, doesn't seem like a viable long-term transfer. Even Bayern Munich might look to sign a good striker to replace him in a few years. For now, however, the English footballer is truly in fantastic form.

Harry Kane is not that old yet, he is a player who can still give a lot to football, he has a velvety foot and he showed it on many occasions in the last Bundesliga, he scored many goals and many hat-tricks, in fact he was the number 1 scorer in the league with a wide gap.

There’s no way this could happen. But as a Barcelona fan, of course I hope this deal can come together, if possible. Actually, I really want Alvarez to wear a Barcelona jersey this season. Although I also know it seems unlikely to happen. On the other hand, even though Ferran Torres scored a crucial goal in the World Cup final, that doesn’t mean a starting spot on Hansi Flick’s squad is guaranteed for him. After all, Torres isn’t a pure center forward. Regardless of this scenario, I hope Barcelona can sign a top striker to replace Lewandowski.

[Accardo]

It is a good thing that Alvarez is interested in joining Barcelona but Barcelona is not a club that knows how to approach their opponents when signing players, Atletico Madrid did not want to let Alvarez leave and Barcelona president is saying it in public that if a player wants to leave a club the club should allow him to leave because he has seen many of those things happen, as long as the player want to play for Barcelona then Barcelona should be happy but saying it in public when the player is still in a contract is not good.

Atletico shouldn't have made things worse by interfering while Alvarez was away at the World Cup. He's their player, but saying they had the right not to sell him made Alvarez sour on his current club. If Atletico insist on keeping him, it'll be a loss for both teams. He won't play well, may skip training sessions, and could make life miserable for Atletico. It's best they let him go, the same way Newcastle let Isak go in 2025 when he chose to boycott training over a transfer saga, and the same with Dembele in 2017 at Dortmund: he wanted Barca, the club refused, he stopped training, and later he was allowed to leave. So Alvarez's decision to quit training with Atletico entirely will be a thorn in Atletico management's flesh, and they'll have no option but to make a deal with Barca.

[giorgione]

In my opinion, Torres' performance can be said to be good, but it's normal for him to make mistakes occasionally. However, in this case, I think it's up to Barcelona to decide what they want to do. However, if Barcelona were to bring in Julian Alvarez, I think that would be a good thing because he's a good player. PSG also seems interested in bringing in Torres, but Barcelona also seems to still want Torres However the bottom line is that this is still up in the air, and we'll just have to see what happens

I'm curious about the barcelonna vs. CE Europa friendly match. Who do you think will win? Would you bet on a Barcelona or CE Europa victory? I think friendly matches are sometimes very difficult to predict but I think barcelona has a great potential to win this match

Barcelona is undecided because he is the player who made the World Cup victory possible for Spain but the reality is that they have always considered him a reserve, i don't know if going to Paris Saint-Germain could be the best choice because i believe he would simply take the place of Gonzalo Ramos who went to Milan, and would have the same space that he had.

[bastisisca]

Barcelona president and the management lack manner of approach that is why Atletico Madrid want to do everything to keep Alvarez or selling him to another club that is not in La Liga or Barcelona, Barcelona has done many business together with Atletico Madrid and I believe if they approach the club with good communication they will sign the player but Barcelona want to talk with the player directly and make the player force himself out of the club, if Alvarez leave Atletico Madrid with force then he should be ready to face the fans pressure because I know Atletico Madrid fans will stone him and throw him some stuff whenever he step his foot in their stadium.

The truth is that Julian Alvarez wants Barcelona just as Barcelona wants Julian Alvarez, we know that Madrid's Atletico have always been difficult with their fiercest rivals in the league and actually giving up one of their best players to a direct competitor is not an easy thing to swallow.
