La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Shadiq]

It’s a good sign that Vinicius has rejoined his teammates at Real Madrid’s training center. Hopefully, the rumors circulating about Vinicius leaving Real Madrid aren’t true. Although I’m still wondering myself: Does Vinicius’s presence at the training facility indicate that he’s signed a new contract, or is he staying at Real Madrid until his current contract expires? After all, there hasn’t been any announcement from Real Madrid regarding developments on Vinicius’s contract extension. I hope everything is okay.

Whatever the internal situation, we want to see a good pair of Mbappe and Vinicius in the upcoming season and a friendly attitude on the field. If the relationship between these two players does not improve, then I do not think that all these changes in the team will be of any use. If they fail in the upcoming season, then Real Madrid will have to face more criticism and Mourinho may have to accept a humiliating departure. Mourinho should pay attention to these two players in particular and try to remove the word "arrogance" from the team. Basically, this arrogance has caused the most damage to the team.

We have not yet received a clear message about the rumors about Vinicius, and we have no idea whether these rumors are true. However, I have always been in favor of Vinicius leaving the team, because if the relationship between Mbappe and Vinicius does not improve, Real Madrid will have to struggle in the upcoming season.

[Chilwell]

Yes, I totally agree with you, because basically with everything that has happened to Vini at Real Madrid, it cannot be denied that he really likes being at Real Madrid. Because as far as I know, Vini's dream when he was little, he really wanted to play at Real Madrid. So now his dream has really come true, so I think he definitely won't destroy his own dream just because of other problems. Besides, Vini is also an important player at Real Madrid, so it is impossible for Real Madrid to make him leave.

So with that, it is certain that Vini will be given a contract extension and Vini will also clearly be very happy with that. So the news circulating that Vini will go to another team is clearly just a rumor that does not prove anything. So now it is very clear that Vini has returned to training at Real Madrid and that indeed proves that Vini will indeed remain at Real Madrid and will not go anywhere else.

Follow my reasoning. Vinicius dreamed of playing for Real Madrid as a child. He manages to get there and has been one of their stars there for eight years and will certainly remain a very regular member of that team, which this year with a team revolution can easily aim to compete for the Champions League and championship again. Why on earth at this point, just for a question of money, would he leave La Liga and his Real Madrid to join another team?

Both the Real Madrid and vinicius Junior are doing business, yes he have it in mind to play for Real Madrid since when he was a kid but you know football is all about money and everyone know what Vinicius i've done for Real Madrid, I think it is high time most of the players  understand that every club they play for are after money, that is why immediately they are done with you, nothing can make them to bring you back. Lot of great players have come and go even though they wanted to stay but the club did not allow it. Vinicius junior should just move to another club, most especially Arsenal because that is where he will have a lot of time and support.

[LUCKMCFLY]

You are correct, however, in the general discipline aspect. Three managers last season. Dressing room was reportedly a mess under Arbeloa. Mourinho walks in day one and immediately starts double sessions and talks about "missions" and working for Madrid not just at Madrid.

The thing is, Mou is like a wily old fox. He knows the Real Madrid dressing room like the back of his hand. If you put Xabi Alonso next to Arbeloa, they're excellent, there's no denying they're very good. But next to Mou, they're like kids just starting to run. There's a huge difference there. That's why now all the players are in line. Didn't you see Vini's face when he started training? It was priceless. Real Madrid TV showed it. Remember the clash between Vini and Mou in the Champions League? Now Mou's in charge. That's life.

[Dzwaafu11]

There is a different excitement around the El Clasico match and last season Real won one but could not do well in the subsequent matches. I think Real's preparation is much better than Barcelona.

I think that a team must have a staff that is already very strong in itself, but at the same time very humble, who wants to play for the team and to make the team win. And the coach must have the same mentality. If all this is in a team, that team can aim to win everything. If even one of these parameters is missing, then it will never happen. And it has been demonstrated on every occasion in which a team has won something.

Real Madrid is preparing for next coming season because they don't want to repeat same thing as last season that is why they keep getting more preparation. As for Barcelona thinking of they are not prepared, I can assure you that Barcelona can pull up the sams performance as last season this coming season.

they won't wait till they get use to the new style or method. While the new coach and the new players must wait and get adapted to the new strategy of their new coach, Barcelona is going to surprise us next season.

[Ummeettaa]

There are rumours circulating around on social media sport pages that the Laliga has added some new refereeing rules, which they like might have find interesting and seen in the recent just concluded FIFA world cup tournament.

The below are the proposed new adjustments and rules in the refereeing sections;

1. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) are to be allowed intervene in a second yellow card situation, where the situation will be checked
     Thoroughly on whether the player booked really deserved the second booking or not before the decision stands.

2. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) to also be able to recheck and overturn a wrongly awarded corner kicks, which will be redecided after
     another checking into the scene.

3. Another change is that, a substituted player must leave the pitch of play on or before 10 seconds after being substituted, if not the
    substituted player will have to stay a minute before entering the field of play.

4. Any player that is injured or faked injury and needs medical attention must have to stay outside the pitch for a whole minute before
     entering back or returning to the pitch.

5. Goalkeepers that are fond of faking injury without being fouled just to delay time will be penalised, by sending one of their players
     sidelined outside for a minute .

6. Throw in countdowns will now be 5 seconds and strictly adhered to otherwise, the throw in will be awarded to the opponent team.

7. Also before a penalty is being awarded, it must have to be a very hard tackle and any touch or tackle that is accidentally done during
    safes will result into no penalty.

8. Finally, a referee will be able to announce and explain to the general public his decisions and thoughts after every Video Assistant
    Referee (VAR) intervention.

If these rules are to be implemented and adopted by the Spanish Laliga league, it will delay most of the games played and will also be a way of helping teams. But most importantly it will expose any teams that are being favoured by the referees. The decisions will also allow teams that are being rubbed and denied fouls or points to have a justifying and fair games.

Vinicius junior should just move to another club, most especially Arsenal because that is where he will have a lot of time and support.

At the moment I don't understand why Vinicius still wants to stay at his childhood club Real Madrid. Everyone wants to fulfill their childhood dream and Vinicius is at his dream club. But now he has to understand that clubs run their business through the players. So it is not possible to increase the salary just by demanding. There are many equations involved. So far, there has been no official news from Real Madrid, so nothing can be said for sure. It is heard that if Vinicius is to be kept, at least some of his bonuses will have to increased. On the other hand, there is no certainty about what Real Madrid will do. In this situation, a solution must be found. Vinicius may have a slight weakness towards this club.

Very correct, but it not just laliga, it all leagues, it was actually implemented before the World Cup and if you could remember it was used even in the recent World Cup games. We saw how players were finding it difficult to cope with some of these rules during the World Cup.  FIFA is trying to make the game more robotic to me, we are human and sometimes players are being punished for natural errors.

For a start players will find it hard to blend with these rules but before the season ends I believe they will get use to them. Team will still be Favour by these rules, we have seen countless time how VAR have help teams, so for me I don’t think these rules will stop teams being Favoured.

Remember the clash between Vini and Mou in the Champions League? Now Mou's in charge. That's life.

Mourinho is the perfect man for Real Madrid, Alonso and Arbeloa can not coach Real Madrid because those players used to see them as just one of the legends, Real Madrid current squad need a coach who the players are going to respect, a coach who they will listen to when he asks them to do something and they will do exactly what he says, Mourinho is the one that Real Madrid needs to bring the peace inside the dressing room, and that is why Perez did not think twice before bringing Mourinho back to the club.
 
I expect changes in Real Madrid next season, Mbape and Vini will work this season because Real Madrid have many attackers this season, if they did not work together Mourinho will bench anyone who don’t want to play well, i trust Mourinho on that and that is why they called him the special one, with the arrival of Yan Diomande, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz and Endrick, Mbape and Vini will definitely going to work together if not both of them will be surprised by what Mourinho will do.

[Hyphen(-)]

Real Madrid needs strong defenders, they are in good shape in attack. Barcella needs one or more attackers, they need a good central striker. Rodri is a great champion and if Real Madrid signs him they will make a big leap forward. There is still time and both teams will certainly improve.

The position I am yet to see improvement in Real Madrid’s signing is the defensive position and that should their aspect the should focus on because one of their main problem in the past two seasons, and I haven’t seen any reputable or a world class defenders they have signed, and they really need good defenders to help the team since they have world class wingers that can create good chances due goals and also score goals for the team, the defense will help them maintain their stands in the league and win them trophies.

He played many excellent matches in La Liga over the years and made top-level contributions to Real Madrid's performance. Now we will see the next stage of this. If he stays at Real Madrid, we will see him as an important player in the squad next year. However, if he transfers to the Premier League, that team will most likely be Arsenal. If Arsenal signs him, his place in the squad is secure, and Vinicius Jr. can also perform effectively in the Premier League. It was a pleasure to watch him in Spain, and I'm sure it will be just as enjoyable to watch him in the Premier League if he transfers there.

And Vini has been doing very well because we have seen him play, and there has been a lot of blaming, and what we are not supposed to forget is that Vini has performed very well, and there is no point in putting any kind of blame on him, and I am not even sure if they will allow him to go to another club or not because at this point, I am not sure what Jose is going to be doing because we are waiting to see what kind of squad he will bring with him during the new season. Because we are sure Arsenal is showing interest in Vini, we await the decision that management will make

I'm putting it direct to you that Vinicius junior would rather take any pay at Real Madrid than to move to Arsenal trust me, if he really wants to move to Arsenal since Real Madrid is not agreeing to his terms he would have pushed his move to Arsenal, but yet he still sticks around hoping they could heed to his demands, had it been it's teams like Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain, that wants him trust me he would have pressured his move but since it's Arsenal he doesn't want to move, that my take on this.

[Ndabagi01]

As a player willing to grow and become better than they are, you need to know that the clubs wants are always love above your own wants, so you’ll have to dance to their tune and not fall for them showing you love and think that they’ll keep you with them forever. Vinicius Junior is facing difficult times in Real Madrid because of Mbappe who happens to be playing well from the same position as he is.

Vinicius Junior is still at his peak and you can’t have two GOAT in the same team without them inter lapping with each other and individually fighting for their successes. Vinicius Junior to Arsenal will be a good deal but then again, Real Madrid may decide to keep him for another season. In Arsenal, he’ll become dominating and will get to achieve quickly what he has been aiming for in the long run. The competition there in the team will be lesser than what he’s facing at Real Madrid.

[coinlary]

We have not yet received a clear message about the rumors about Vinicius, and we have no idea whether these rumors are true. However, I have always been in favor of Vinicius leaving the team, because if the relationship between Mbappe and Vinicius does not improve, Real Madrid will have to struggle in the upcoming season.

Atleast papa Perez still wants him to stay in the club, only the boards want him out already but Perez is still delaying that with the offer patiently waiting to be accepted.

If something doesn't change, I think Jose would have to modify his strategy to fit what he wants.  Diomande can play as a left winger   in such case or Mbappé plays as a winger and Jude moves to the forward position. Don't forget they signed another striker from levante,  I don't  know how  good he is though.

The important part is that Jose has so many options if Vinicius staying will end up becoming another problem.

[Alpha Marine]

The position I am yet to see improvement in Real Madrid’s signing is the defensive position and that should their aspect the should focus on because one of their main problem in the past two seasons, and I haven’t seen any reputable or a world class defenders they have signed, and they really need good defenders to help the team since they have world class wingers that can create good chances due goals and also score goals for the team, the defense will help them maintain their stands in the league and win them trophies.

What more do you want them to do? They have signed Konate, Dumfries and Cucurella, so what more do you expect them to do? They should buy the whole defenders in the world before you can be satisfied? They already have Militao, Rudiger, Arnold, Carreras and Huijsen, so if this is not enough to go into the season, what do you think will be enough?
What Madrid needs now is a defensive midfielder or central midfielders. I read that they have agreed a deal with Leipzig for Diamonde, so that solves their right wing problem. If they can get Rodri, then their midfield problem has been solved. Madrid don't need a defender anymore. They need a midfielder.

[LGD2Business]

Celta Vigo is signing Altay Bayındır on a 1 year loan. Altay didn't get much playing time during his 3 seasons at Manchester United. If he gets a chance at Celta and makes the most of it, they might sign him permanently. The buyout clause is reportedly 4 million Euro.
Altay's name was also mentioned in connection with Turkish clubs at one point, but that transfer didn't materialize. I think he can get a chance at Celta. Looking at the roster, Radu is the starting goalkeeper and Altay is a similar goalkeeper if not better than him. Radu played in every match last season, he's a consistent goalkeeper. Even if Altay ends up on the bench, he won't make an issue of it, and if he gets a chance, he'll try to show his skills.

[Donneski]

There's a report I read few hours ago that Yan Diomande is nearing the completion of his proposed move to Real Madrid and that the Spanish giants are also in serious talks to extend the contract of Vinicius Jr. If both deals are completed, I think it'll boost the team's preparation for the next season as well as increase their options in the left wing of the attack.
Jose Mourinho is probably building a team that'll be almost unplayable next season. As a Real Madrid fan, I want to see the team win the UCL next season.

I think Real Madrid already signed the players they are supoose to get to streghten their squad, what remain now is for the season to start and see the performance Real Madrid will start the season with, I Think that will determine whether they are going to win any trophy the coming season or not. Real Madrid defending position is already sharp and ready for the coming season. I just hope Mounrinho is able to give what the world is expectiing, because the expectation is already high.

I don't think they got all the players they wanted because Oliseh is still at Bayern. And as for defense, you could say their defense is playing well, but on the other hand, look at the match against Fiorentina, they conceded two goals and only managed a draw. So, you can't say their defense is particularly good, and I'm also not sure how well and cohesively their midfield can work right now, because Silva still needs to find his groove with the other players.

[blue Snow]

€30 million? That sounds crazy. There’s no way Real Madrid will agree to a salary demand that high. Vinicius should just accept a €20 million salary. After all, he can still earn other bonuses, so when you add it all up, his annual income is still substantial. Vinicius’s situation is really complicated. He often disrupts the team’s chemistry. Real Madrid seems to have lost patience with his behavior. If Vinicius refuses to accept the €20 million salary offer, I’m sure Real Madrid will sell him.

Vinicius is just showing tantrums to the club which i believe wont be appreciated by them, they will certainly let him go but if they decide to accept his demands then it will be very foolish of them, Vinicius is not the player that is worth giving €30M, his performance hasnt been top notch and his attitude have been high which destroys team chemistry and madrid should let him go, he is not the player that is worth all that….

Vinicius’s attitude, as if he’s bigger than the team, is a huge mistake. Perez is a firm leader who doesn’t hesitate to let star players go if they refuse the club’s offers, as was the case with Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were allowed to leave because they couldn’t reach an agreement on new contract extensions. Real Madrid has offered a 20 million euro pay raise; if Vinicius doesn’t accept it, I’m sure Perez will sell him. One thing is certain: Real Madrid will definitely not grant Vinicius a 30 million euro pay raise. Now, the decision is in Vinicius’s hands. Will he accept Real Madrid’s offer or not? He doesn’t have much time left to make a decision.
