La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Merit.s]

Real Madrid will kick off the season today with a preseason match against Leganés. With the squad led by José Mourinho, the goal for the new season is now the championship. We’ll see what kind of impact Mourinho has on the team. I have to say that in some matches against Fenerbahçe, they didn’t play particularly impressive soccer, and they were generally the weaker side in derbies. I’ll be eagerly waiting to see if they’ll continue in the same vein in derbies in Spain. They’ll also play their first league match on the road.

I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid performance isn't yet superb because Mourinho is new and will take a little time to impact his game strategy on the players. However, I believe that the players will do better than last season and a trophy will be achieved this season.

It's a preseason game and it's used to check any loop holes for it to be corrected.

There's nothing wrong for Vinicius Jr to demand for salary increase for his new contact,  every new contact comes with a salary bargaining,  if Real Madrid can't pay him then it's normal to let him go to Arsenal,  Real Madrid are very good in transfer market,  if they can't afford Vinicius Jr salary, they will definitely let him go and make huge money from his sales. 

It’s only natural that Vinicius is demanding a pay raise after the extraordinary contributions he’s made during his time with the team. Negotiations for Vinicius’s contract extension have been quite tough and have dragged on for a long time, but so far there’s still no clear indication of whether an agreement has been reached. Perez and Vinicius need to reach a resolution on the new contract extension soon, because if this drags on, it will disrupt the team’s preparations as planned by Mourinho. As a Real Madrid fan, I hope Vinicius doesn’t leave Real Madrid because it would be difficult to find a replacement as talented as him in his position.

Mourinho might be new to Madrid but the players aren't in any way new to the club and are solid enough to kickstart the season with a lot of goals right from the first pre season game they will be participating in. we know that clubs don't mostly take pre season games too seriously but for a team that has a lot to prove in the coming season, we want to see a sense of aggressiveness that starts showing even at the early phase of the season.

Lewandowski is getting old and nearing retirement from soccer, and he’s the highest paid player at Barcelona. Now is actually the right time for Barcelona to let Lewandowski go. Especially since last season, Lewandowski’s performance began to decline and he was frequently injured. Now Barcelona is looking for a replacement striker for Lewandowski because there is currently no player in the Barcelona squad whose primary position is striker. Promoting players from the academy isn’t a bad idea, but making them starters isn’t a good idea because, no matter how talented an academy player may be, they lack significant playing experience, making it difficult for them to perform well when faced with important matches at the highest level.

Lewandowski has already left actually. He has signed for Chicago which is an MLS team. Indeed Barcelona is looking for his replacement but couldn't make a big progress with anyone yet.

I would really like to see Julian Alvarez there but Atletico Madrid president is very determined not to sell him. He isn't the only alternative in the world of course. But I hope they sign a top striker again. 

Since Lewandowski has already left, there’s no need to discuss him in relation to Barcelona anymore. Of course, Barcelona is looking for a good replacement for Lewandowski because they really need a striker. As for Alvarez, who has been retained by Atlético Madrid, Barcelona won’t give up so easily in their pursuit of him. This is evident in the fact that Barcelona has submitted a second offer, raising the price from 100 million to 150 million. So, rest assured that Barcelona will definitely sign a top striker before the transfer window closes.

Jose Mourinho is no stranger to La Liga, as he has previously managed Real Madrid. It was only for three years , but at least that gave him a wealth of experience. It has certainly been quite a while since his last spell in La Liga , so it seems he will need some time to settle in again, but that won’t take long given his previous experience.

Real Madrid are really taking their preparations for this season very seriously , as going two seasons without a single trophy is enough to be a disgrace for the club. So bringing Mourinho back is hoped to be the solution for them , and whatever Mourinho wants seems set to garner full support from Florentino Perez (even if Bayern Munich were willing to let Olise go, I reckon Madrid would sign him for a very high fee).

[LUCKMCFLY]

Vinicius needs Real Madrid much more than Real Madrid needs Vinicius, but i think he doesn't perceive this in the same way, and an absolutely valid player but one Real Madrid can easily do without, if they took Olise and moved mbappe to his natural position they would have 2 fearsome wingers.

The thing is, Olise isn't coming this transfer window, but I think Real Madrid is going for Rodri today. I don't know, I think they'll decide today whether or not to go for him. So, because of this, I think they're going to make things happen. You could say he's a piece that the Special One desperately needs, and they're going to decide today because another training match against Leganés starts today behind closed doors. In fact, it can be seen on Real Madrid TV. It's only 50 minutes long.

[Volgastallion]

So much money spend in a lot of players which i dont think are gonna be good when they start to show.

But Real Madrid and Barcelona are facing a big problem not because of them but because of the power and money of the Premier League, just look into how much money the Premier LEague can put to buy players this force Real Madrid and Barcelona to spend even more money to buy whatever player it is, and the issue is they are not receiving much more money from broadcasting compared on how growth the money in the Premier.

[babo]

I'm not a big fan of Jose Mourinho, I think he's overrated, an arrogant and presumptuous person, too full of himself and too convinced he's good
but at the moment he is behaving like a professional, letting go of extra players who are not needed (there is no need to have 3-4 more attackers) to concentrate on the departments that are needed

I don't know if his treatment will work, if it works for Real Madrid I might change my opinion about the coach (but not about the man)

I would also say that he deserves it for how good he is
he is an exceptional player who certainly deserves respect and one way to make it clear that he is respected is to give him an adequate salary for what he is worth
and in my opinion he is a key player today and in the future of Real Madrid.

Yes, that’s exactly what these kinds of preseason matches are for. Mourinho will start putting the plans he’s devised into action here and adapt them based on the players. The first preseason matches may not always live up to expectations, but what matters here is seeing the players’ potential. We’ll see what’s in Mourinho’s mind soon, and I think Arda Güler needs to be an indispensable part of his lineup. Arda Güler is truly an exceptional player in terms of his vision, and if Mourinho builds a game plan that doesn’t put undue pressure on him, they could shake up the league this season.

the players who are currently there do not know how Mourinho wants him to play, so it will be a cold shower when his players do not respect what he says and in fact this will really be a problem for some of them, who could already immediately leave for another path, without warning.

All i'm praying for is that Jose Morinho shouldn't be able to come to terms with Vinicius Junior, and the player should be allowed to join. arsenal who are ready to pay his huge wages and salary. Morinho is a good coach,  and despite the report that cbe once that he is a one seasoned coach, I still regard him as one of the best coaches in world football. He is known for a defensive pattern of foot all, and that is what he will introduce to Real Madrid. If he can make  make these signings and those players blend, then I see him lifting the Lalliga trophy this season. They have the likes of Bernardo Silva, Diomande and Rodri is also coming, he has made some quality signings, and he still intends to add more. There is no way he will have those players at the club and they will not win the Lalliga.

My only wish here is that he shouldn't' come to agreement with Vinicius and his agent over staying at Madrid because he will really be a significant signing for the Arsenal project. I think if I were him, I will make the move so I can dominate England.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Jose Mourinho return to the Real Madrid coaching chair did not immediately improve the team's performance. It took time for the players to understand the style of play Mourinho used. He is very synonymous with discipline, neat defensive structures, fast transitions, a winning mentality, the players have to adapt at least over a few matches to memorize when to press, low block, who covers whom.

It's natural that Real Madrid performance is still limping at the start of the season because they are still in a transition period. After that, we will see Mourinho Madrid, where the players are well connected to his system. The failures in the previous two seasons made the management so frustrated that they reappointed Mourinho as coach. He is expected to transform Real Madrid mentality to become stronger so they can compete with Barcelona for the La Liga trophy until the end of the match.

His an important player in Real Madrid and should be given all the good treatment he deserve. I heard a news recently that they have started making an agreement so that his going to stay in Real Madrid, vini jr love Real Madrid and Real Madrid also love him and I believe Real Madrid is going to do everything possible to keep him in the club.
Arsenal should forget about Vinicius because his not leaving Real Madrid especially since there new coach said he wants to work with him so any terms and conditions that he gives to Real Madrid they will accept if they don’t Arsenal will take him away and Real Madrid will feel his absent.

Common, that asking price is outrageous. I heard the club want to settle with increment but they are not in for the bonus increments which he almost X2 in his demand. This is what you get when you try to hijack a player from another club that was already interested in a player. I never knew Perez personally work on project Vinicious, he was supposed to be signed by Barcelona earlier but they increase it and took him and now he is asking fore more.

What is not right about Madrid is how they were able to capture Diomande form PSG. They shade Real Madrid how they used money to get players and honestly I can't agree more than what they said. It was reported that more than 130m Euros wad requested plus Adons but just 100m euros was reported, this club will run mad if they don't win another trophy by the end of the season after this spending.

For me it's not too worrying because Jose Mourinho has proven successful managing Real Madrid before when they had star players.
Even though the egos of the players at Real Madrid were arguably much bigger than those of Real Madrid now.
Jose Mourinho certainly understands how to manage a team well, and if given free rein, I'm sure he could deliver some trophies for Real Madrid. It would be interesting to see Jose Mourinho return to Real Madrid because he previously achieved success as a Real Madrid manager. Although the competition will be tough, I'm quite confident in his abilities.

The Brazilian is an important player, but he shouldn't compare his earnings with what Kylian Mbappe earns. This is because both of them were not signed under the same circumstances. Real Madrid paid €45 million to Brazilian side Flamengo to buy Vinicius Junior. The French player came to Real as a free agent. This means he saved enough cost, and this can justify his high pay. Anyway, Vinicius has the right to ask for a more lucrative contract, and he can move to another club if his request is met. Seeing the Brazilian player in the English Premier League would be interesting.

[Juicyhome]

Real Madrid has made it known to Arsenal that they won't sell Vinicius Jr this season and are working on his contract,  I knew jose mourinho won't let him go now that he needed him most. For the past three years Real Madrid has not been able to beat Barcelona,  not because they don't have a good squad but they lack good and experience coach to manage the team, now they have good players and an experienced coach.  I trust in Jose mourinho he will beat Barcelona next season and Vinicius Jr is a vital player to this Real Madrid team.

I'm happy Arsenal was not able to sign him, I love to see Vinicius Jr and mbappe play with Jose mourinho,  Barcelona don't know what's coming for them this season.

It is a big advantage for the team, especially the manager because after this period, they will not be any observation again because the season will start immediately. It is a pre-season match but I really want to watch this match to see how Mourinho will perform, despite it is not a serious match. Real Madrid really have to make us proud this time around, because honestly I was so disappointed with the way they played in their last two seasons, it is so obvious giving Barcelona chance of winning two consecutive League, i'm very sure that Real Madrid will not allow that to happen especially the kind of manager they had now.

[Velvet78]

For sometime I had thus thoughts of Vinicius junior issues to be his character or attitude but it was not. It was simply monetary issues.
He is actually asking for more money or something close to what Kylian Mbappe is taking for Real Madrid. There should be a meeting about this soon and if there's no agreement,  they'll be forced to sell him since this would be his final season with and they will not be cool withe idea of seeing him go as a free agent next season.

Vinicius Jr is top two elite wingers in the world right now, he has done too well for Real Madrid. He has helped them win the Champions League and also the league during the past seasons, I do think he deserves it but if he doesn't, then he will be sold. I don't and won't consider him a loser for doing that.

Technically the gap between Vinicius Junior and Mbappe's fixed salaries isn't that big. Mbappe makes only 6 million euros more. But the real gap is on bonuses of course...

Mbappe has a bonus of 40 million while it is only 12 million for Vinicius Junior. Maybe that's where he doesn't like it. 

But I don't think Real Madrid would offer him the same contract conditions as Mbappe's now.
