La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Agbam]

I didn't expect Real Madrid to draw 2-2 against Fiorentina, even though I think Real Madrid has a better squad than Fiorentina. I thought Real Madrid would win against Fiorentina, but unfortunately, Real Madrid's defense is still lacking, which ultimately resulted in Real Madrid conceding a goal to Fiorentina. I'm curious to know if you predict Real Madrid will win this match or not?

Mourinho seemed to be less than vigilant in developing his strategy in this match, which ultimately resulted in Real Madrid conceding to Fiorentina. Hopefully, this will be a lesson for Mourinho so that in future matches Real Madrid won't repeat the same mistakes as in this match, which resulted in a draw. Endrick played very well in this match and scored a great goal. Now I'm curious about Real Madrid's next pre-season match, and I hope Real Madrid can win their next match.

I don’t really take much of the preseason results seriously, it has the same vibes as a friendly, just a training and testing of strategies by teams. Barça also played a 2:2 draw in their game against Birmingham.

Real Madrid and Mourinho have been very busy in the transfer market, and Jose Mourinho is just hoping to impact some great changes in this Madrid’s side.

While Madrid are rebuilding I feel like Barcelona are too quite and relaxed in the transfer market, not going for those positions they need reinforcements while Madrid is stacking.

I would really hope Vini extend his contract at Real Madrid, he will really make a difference if he remains at the team. Well in a couple of day we will get to find out if he will remain at the club next season, but for what he his currently requesting it will be very hard to grant it.

Pre-season games have a specific use, so prepare the coach and the various members of the team for what comes in the following season. Real Madrid played a game playing with the second team in the squad, knowing that the first was not fully available.

Moreover, the rest of the results will be judge in league competition like on 22 august they will officially paly their first ever match of La Liga regarding through this season. So after this match we can look for observation wether Jose Morhino is making any impact or not.

Wrong.. You don't truly access a coach's impact just after the first game. Even if it goes well, it might be pure luck, you allow himself and the players to adapt to the new tactics, at least the first 5-8 games in charge is enough to access his impacts. The start may be a bit difficult for the players to adapt, so I advise we lower our expectation for the first game and observe the performance as they progress to other matches.

Everyone have their expectations about Jose morihno, there are people who just want to see aninstant impact from him. Well every manger regardless of being experienced or not need time to settle in a new club or environment. Jose have been at Real Madrid before, but that a very long time, he did well just that he only failed to win them the champions league. Currently a lot of Real Madrid players are still out on break, so he still them to resume and tell them how he wants them to play next season.

Winning the Laliga and the champions league is what is being needed from him. I believe he can do that but how long will it take him to do that is not what I can tell. Real Madrid are currently doing a good work in the transfer market, let just hope that have a good season too,

You are right, honestly I expected Barcelona to be busier than Real Madrid in the transfer market. They need a striker because they don't have proper replacement for Lewandowski. And currently Paris Saint Germain is pushing for Ferran Torres, which we don't what the player decision will be at end. Even if Ferran Torres sign new contract for Barcelona, In my opinion they need another striker who can convert chances to goal easily just as Lewandowski was doing, then Karim Adeymi could be their option.

The defensive line also needs some changes, they need to let players like Araujo and Christensen go and get their replacement. Because with the way Real Madrid are rebuilding their team, to me it looks scary, which if Barcelona keep relaxing it will be difficult for them to win the laliga trophy this coming season.

Real Madrid team was without a trophy for two consecutive seasons, it was a shame for the team, the most successful club in the world. That is why Mourinho has brought in the team and given the team in his charge, he will definitely strengthen the weak points. The way Real Madrid team is organizing their team, it will create a strong team this season and it will be very difficult for Barcelona to compete with them.
However, Barcelona is currently calm, they have drawn in their friendly matches, we have been able to guess some of their weak points. Still, Barcelona is not thinking of strengthening those points, maybe due to some financial crisis, they are not able to add strong players to the weak points in the team.
But anyway, we will see a much better team than Real Madrid this season and they will play strongly and win trophies. Since Jose Mourinho has taken charge of the team, he is a successful coach, in that case, Real Madrid will definitely return to its best form under his leadership.

[Inwestour]

Generally yes, but not always. For example, they say that Mourinho, after Real Madrid led 2-0 against Fiorentina but ended up drawing 2-2, was very angry and voiced his grievances to the players. From his perspective, players shouldn't relax, they should fight for every ball, regardless of the game's status. This may sound extreme given the current schedule, but if we're talking about a championship mentality, Mourinho is 100% right. I expect nothing but victory from Real Madrid's next game.

I think the players are still taking friendly games more lightly during the off-season, because they can't always play at their best. Some Real Madrid players played all of last season and played many matches at the World Cup, and everyone wants some rest, and I think the players perceive off-season matches a little differently. I understand that Mourinho wants to win every match and will likely demand that, but I think it's also very important that he doesn't overdo it in matches that don't have much significance for Real Madrid right now. Because relationships with the players can be damaged even before the season starts. But on the other hand, I agree that a winning mentality should be nurtured by victories, and failing to win after leading 2–0 isn't right either.

The biggest question for Barcelona fans is the future number 9 position. In other words, they need to bring in a quality striker, which Barca understands but has not yet solved. Although Ferenc Torres is a good alternative to Robert Lewandowski, he is not a natural clinical No.9 like Lewandowski. No matter how much Barcelona backs up the number 9 with a left-right winger, a long-term successor like Lewandowski is very much needed in his place, which Barca has not been able to manage yet. So they should make a new long-term plan for this position.

[m4r1o]

We saw the majority of the reserve squad on the pitch. They probably won't be together like this again. Maybe there will be exceptions for a single player. Ultimately, Real Madrid's starting eleven will be different. Jose Mourinho is just using these kinds of things to select some players from the reserves who are currently playing.

Mourinho is absolutely taking his squad into account and is using these pre-season matches to better understand which players may have the right potential to be able to exploit in the league and who is perhaps best suited to a loan or redundancy, depending on what he deems most correct.

That Draw is in no way having any place on my mind, because I know too well it's just a preseason match, there are lots of teams in this preseason games that has lost to unexpected teams some even drew so why would I think myself out because of this one friendly match, let's wait till the season starts then they should pare the both teams again then we will know if truly Fiorentina can actually face Real Madrid, my concern now is not this friendly games, my concern is how they can equip themselves more with more good players to face the task ahead of the upcoming season.

There's no need to rush, because Madrid has been playing with non-official players so far, they weren't playing with the best of the best as we know, now players like Bellingham, Mbappe, Vini are being integrated, besides, a preseason is for that very reason, to test, to carry out various strategies, what happens is that Mou is a very competitive coach and doesn't like to lose anything, that's what the degree of competitiveness in him is.

[pewboy]

I didn't say that I will judge him on one match. I expressed that 22 August will be his first trail and after that we can observe his performance wether it til end or it's up 5 or 10 matches. However, Jose Morhino is great coach and definitely he will require little to monitor his new players with his own view and after that he will try to utilize them on his tactical vest like he will effort for better hunt.....

Jose Morhino will try scale the new players capacity and after that he will assess the ability of his new players with different tactical plans. Such as plan A will be focus on possession based, plan B will be rely on quick direct passes with fast counter attack and plan C will be emphasize on set pieces and crossing situation. So after this evaluation he will try to analyze his team and will draged back into wining track.

The negative thing about when you have a team to rebuild is the fact that you have to look for ways to make it work, but at the same time the positive side is that you can make it work the way you want. Then recreate a squad from scratch, to your exact playing style.
Mourinho will be able to truly make this Real his own.

You are right. There is no reason to worry about the results Real Madrid have achieved in the friendly matches or that they will not have much impact on the results of these matches in the main competition. Most of the players that José Mourinho has sent to play are players who are sitting on the side bench. He is experimenting with the team and trying to find key players in the selection process. This strategy of not having key players in the friendly matches seems very impressive.

The results of the friendly matches may not have an impact on the upcoming tournament but the performances of Real Madrid's second-string players against weaker teams needed to be more impressive and should have won.

[changaa]

The Rodri thing is not a real thing. There is literally nothing there. No talks, no negotiations, it was one of those "update" articles that did not have any update. We have to put an end to this ourselves.

The midfield solution is already in place, however. Bernardo Silva, free transfer, done deal. But what I find much more intriguing than any Rodri fantasy is what Mourinho did with Trent in that Fiorentina game. He brought him in and made him the deep playmaker. You are not playing with a Kroos anymore and your right-back is the guy who provides the tempo.

Academy players facing full strength Serie A players after 60 minutes of effort. This midfield to defense back line gap was not a man-to-man discrepancy. It was more a matter of fitness and timing. But once Tchouameni and Camavinga reappear after August 6th, all that changes.

I've always seen Alexander-Arnold as a little neglected at Real Madrid, so it may be that with the new position that Mourinho is giving him he can do very well. As for Rodri, for now they are simply transfer rumors, although nothing serious, but it would still be an excellent and beautiful fantasy.

Overall, the match wasn't that important, but it was valuable for both the manager and the new players. It gave the manager an opportunity to evaluate the new players and see how they could fit into the tactical system ahead of the new season.

While Madrid are rebuilding I feel like Barcelona are too quite and relaxed in the transfer market, not going for those positions they need reinforcements while Madrid is stacking.

You think Barcelona have been too quiet in the transfer market? I think you're joking. Just look at the players they've let go, then look at how they moved quickly to sign Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon. They even made an offer for Olise after Real Madrid had already entered the race for him. Does that look like they're taking it easy?

Oh but they’re seriously sleeping, signing unnecessary players when there’s a crucial need at the club. Both Karim Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon are mid level wingers at best and Barcelona already have enough Wingers as it is, they’re not lacking in that department.

They need reinforcements in defence and attack, a proper no.9 what everybody have been saying. The money they used in getting Adeyemi and Gordon should have been combined to get any world class no.9 out there.

Initially, Barcelona planned to sign a replacement for Lewandowski by signing Alvarez, but to date, there has been no clear progress on this matter.

In my opinion, Flick seems to be less focused on finding a pure number 9 striker to replace Lewandowski. He's begun to place more trust in Ferran Torres after seeing his contribution with Spain at the World Cup. Therefore, Barcelona chose to bring in Adeyemi as additional ammunition on the wing, adding speed, attacking variety, and rotation options to the front line.

Perhaps Barcelona also considers that rather than buying an unknown striker, it's a waste of money. Gordon, Rapinha, Adeyemi or Olmo could be alternatives for a false 9. Abdel Karim could be tried as a striker in the first team who knows he could become like Lamine.

Rodri is just a rumor, but if Real Madrid sign him, in my opinion, it would be one of the most important transfers of the year. Because for the last two years, there's been a clear lack of such a player in that position. Every player tried there hasn't been entirely successful. Valverde, Arda Güler, Tchouameni all tried him, but they couldn't deliver the desired performance. Rodri would be a fantastic addition to that area. I hope this transfer rumor comes true because Real Madrid desperately needs a good midfielder like him.

According to rumors, Vinicius will return to Real Madrid’s training facility next week after his vacation ends. Of course, he’ll be training on his own under the guidance of a fitness coach since he didn’t participate in the team’s preseason tour. Yes, Vinicius is still happy at Real Madrid, and it seems he’ll sign a new contract as soon as he arrives at the club.

I think that people should stop continuing to associate him with Arsenal, because Vini will sign his new contract with Real Madrid.. although until now Real Madrid is still in talks with Vini regarding his contract, but it will be resolved in the near future. Vini still wants to play with Real Madrid, as well as Real Madrid, they don't want to let go of a top player like Vinícius.. so the rumors of Vini's move to Arsenal will only end by itself because Vini will remain at Real Madrid.

If these rumors didn't surface, Real Madrid might not accelerate the process. Therefore, I think these rumors will be good for Vinicius. If Real Madrid signs him to a long-term contract, these rumors will play a big role. I would honestly like to see him in a Real Madrid shirt because he's one of their two most effective players, along with Mbappé. Vinicius has become one of the few players that comes to mind when you think of Real Madrid. Of course, Arsenal would want to acquire such a good player, that's very normal.

We can’t say that Barcelona is quite in this transfer market, they have already build there team in the past three seasons, they have good players that can still perform if they have these new players they added to the team in this transfer summer.
They are the big team that started looking serious in the transfer market, they have signed Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi; and now that they have let some players go, the have make good decisions before letting them go and that’s why they are not concerned in the transfer market.

However, I am expecting Barcelona to be strong again next season, they will definitely after the preseason games, they will comeback stronger because they have good players on standby to start a fresh season. Mourinho needs to be very serious before he will succeed in this compilation.
