La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Shussainshah]

If Rodri goes to Barcelona,  it would definitely be quite good, because as you said, at Barcelona he could be a player who complements Barcelona's current shortcomings. So that's why I really hope that he can really move to Barcelona. But if you look at the current rumors about Rodri, it is said that Rodri prefers to move to Barcelona rather than moving to Real Madrid, and besides, according to circulating news, Rodri already has a personal agreement with Barcelona.

So I also don't know if this is true or not, but hopefully it is true. But currently, the main obstacle is clearly the price that Barcelona must pay to Manchester City. Because until now, it seems that this is really the main thing that is very difficult for Barcelona to solve. So with that, I don't know what the end of this rumor will be, but yes, I hope that Barcelona can play well even if Rodri is not successfully brought in. Because basically Barcelona is also quite strong at the moment.

Rodri would do very well at Barcelona and Barcelona would also improve even more. It will be up to the player to decide where to go, certainly it would be good for Real Madrid too. Rodri has a nice contract and Manchester City certainly won't give him away quickly. We'll see what happens, Barcelona are a strong team and always play to win.

Barcelona finally got the replacement of sergio busquets. Rodri definitely perform well in Barcelona but actually Barcelona doesn't need him the most instead Real Madrid need the most they are really suffering from that's missing player and rodri actually fit in that missing player place but as the relation between Barcelona and Manchester City are very good and also Rodri wish to play for barcelona because of Spanish team mate and one more thing we should consider it that's Rodri is look like anti Madrid and they secretly love Barcelona that's why they rejected Madrid and now sign for barcelona.

Barcelona shouldn't count their chicks before the hatch, the Rodri deal is not yet sealed, yes personal terms agreed with player but Manchester City has rejected a couple of Barcelona's bid.
Yes Rodri will be a very good replacement for the big shoe that Sergio Busquets left at Barcelona but in terms of club legend I don't think Rodri is young enough to be the next Sergio but he would be great.

For Laliga to be more competitive next season, I will like Rodri to join Barcelona instead, so that Mourinho will have enough work to do because Rodri will make Barcelona more stronger both defensive wise and attacking wise, if they have that strength, Madrid need to put extra effort, and that will make the Laliga more competitive.

Any team Rodri joins between Real Madrid and Barcelona, it will make La Liga more competitive next season because the kind of strength Rodri will add to either team will not be small. So, Real Madrid may suffer if Rodri joins Barcelona, and at the same time, Barcelona will also likely suffer if Rodri joins Real Madrid, because neither Madrid nor Barcelona has a player like Rodri in their team.In fact, Barcelona midfield is even better, but they don't have a player like Rodri. Real Madrid also doesn't have a defensive midfielder to be compared with Rodri quality. So, looking at both teams midfield, as for me, I would like Rodri to join Real Madrid. But with the way everyone has been going with the news I have been seeing, it seems that Rodri prefers to join Barcelona over Real Madrid.If he joins Barcelona, Real Madrid will likely suffer because it would be a huge blow to them. After all the signings and the change of manager, they could still lose La Liga to Barcelona and probably some other trophies.

You are right, and I feel if Rodri joins Real Madrid, Barcelona will suffer more. Because having Rodri in the midfield with the Vinicius, Kylian Mbappe and Yan Diomande as attackers, honestly I don't think it will be easy for any opponent that by has to play against them because that combination looks scary. If Barcelona could signed Anthony Gordon with that amount despite their financial challenges, I don't know why they are still dragging over Rodri deal after the interest he has shown in playing for them.

Honestly Barcelona is lagging behind in signing new players, and currently Barcelona doesn't have any striker because Ferran Torres has left for Paris Saint Germain. I'm confused why Barcelona insisting on Julian Alvarez after the red flag from his club. in my opinion it's high time they should forget about Julian Alvarez deal and went for a new striker.

[Stavri]

the idea of Rodri transferring to Barcelona genuinely gives me goosebumps. if Rodri joins Barcelona and they also add a solid center back, they would become one of the biggest contenders for the Champions League

If Manchester City player Rodri joins the Catalan club, I definitely think that this club will be relatively stronger in midfield than other clubs, but that does not mean that this team will become the main contender for the Champions League after his arrival. Also, you should note that in this team, young Spanish player Cubarsi has become a symbol of Hansi Flick's trust and a reliable center back, even this player won the young player award at the 2026 FIFA World Cup for his impeccable performance throughout the tournament, but Barcelona has some other young players that Gerard Martin, Eric Garcia are also talented center banks.

Currently, this team needs a worthy replacement for Robert Lewandowski because we can see that Barcelona is trying to get Alvarez in the team but they are not able to do it, but they have center bags who are very skilled.

we're talking about one of the greatest defensive midfielders in history. being this effective in his position while contributing so many goals in crucial matches sets him apart and makes him a true game changer imo.

[icebar]

Barcelona is definitely planning to make another offer to Manchester City to bring Rodri to the team. If Rodri comes to Barcelona, the team will definitely be much stronger and their defense system will be stronger, so Barcelona will become quite a competitor this season. Since Rodri is a great player, he is definitely important, if he goes to a team like Barcelona, he will definitely be more known, and he is very good for a team. However, Manchester City will definitely not let him go so easily because they also need enough good strength in their team, in that case they will think about keeping him in the team. However, Barcelona will try hard to bring him to the team, but if their logic is not fulfilled, then maybe Barcelona will not get a player like Rodri in the team.

If Rodri comes to Barcelona, ​​the Barcelona team will seem very unfair. Barcelona has had a strong defensive line from the beginning, and if they can add a world-class player like Rodri to the midfield, it will still be very difficult for the team to win against Barca. To break through the midfield and get into the box, they will have to cross a huge battlefield. In short, Barca will then be at ease with the midfield and defense.

I personally think that if Manchester City releases Rodri, their team will lose a lot of balance. No matter how big an offer Barca makes to City, they should not release Rodri. After all, only when the official announcement is made will we know who Rodri really is?

There is no any public statement that suggests the reason why Rodri rejected Real Madrid and decided to play for Barcelona. Your reasons may be factual but until a clear statement from him or any subordinate is out on the reason why he rejected Real Madrid can we be so certain of coming to conclusion on why he decides to play for Barcelona.

Manchester City and Barcelona indeed has a close relation and that may have pushed him to liking Barcelona more than Real Madrid. But like you said, Real Madrid needs him more in that their midfield than Barcelona do. I hope any teams he joins will have a positive impact in his playing career and get to win a trophy from the club before he leaves Europe to play in another league elsewhere.

nowadays success of the Spanish national football team has run parallel to Barcelona's success. there was no such success for the Spanish national team during the period when Real Madrid dominated the Champions League. and today, there isn't a single player from Real Madrid in the Spanish national team.

There's only Cucurella, and he'll remain there. This year's performance will be very important for Real Madrid. If they're in a good position, Huijsen, Gonzalo, and Carreras could be selected. And of course, there's the new signing Espi. Sending players to the Spanish national team will depend on this year's performance, but I agree with you, Spain achieves success with a Barcelona-based squad.

There is one thing about life i don't always forget, which is power must definitely change know matter how hard you try. Although apart from the change of power, the recruitment process in both teams is one thing responsible for such change we experienced in this years world cup.
Before now Real Madrid where heavily interested in the recruitment of Spanish players and then it worked for them but now since that did not work they where faced with no option than to go for what will work for them.

Casado is basically out the door. Barcelona did not even name him to the preseason squad. There is an Al Hilal move happening. De Jong is lying on an operating table. So when you say "Barcelona's midfield is better", better how? It is Pedri and a 19 year old. Meanwhile Real has Tchouameni, Valverde who played more minutes than almost anyone in the league, Camavinga, Bellingham. Four guys who could start for most Champions League clubs tomorrow. They do not need Rodri in the same manner. They just... Wanted him.

And Rodri flew to Madrid. Had professional meetings for two weeks, then he replied no to them, directly. After spending years saying he could never turn down Real Madrid. But it is more than just a football choice, is not it? There was something about the project that did not appeal to him.

My instinct is to think that it was Mourinho. Not personally or whatever but the system. If you are the best possession midfielder in the world and someone tells you: "Great, just sit in the low block and watch Mbappe run". I mean, would you say yes to that?



Rodri going to Barca does not doom Madrid. Madrid's challenge was always going to be an internal one. But, whether they can eventually turn into a team under Mourinho or just a group of ridiculously expensive players is the question of the season.

Sending players to the Spanish national team will depend on this year's performance, but I agree with you, Spain achieves success with a Barcelona-based squad.

First of all I will say that Barcelona actually had eight players in the but let’s not forget that in the first eleven it was actually three players who were always present in the team, the rest were mostly Spanish club players and I think it will be disrespectful to those teams when a success of a team is attributed to just one club.

As for Real Madrid players only Huijsen and Cucurrella is actually two players that can break into the team because with Cucurrella arrival it will be difficulty to see more of Carreras because Cucurrella will be Mourinho first choice left back, as for Gonzalo he is no longer registered a Real Madrid player

yeah absolute winner of the 2026 World Cup is Barcelona. in final on one side they have Messi's Argentina led by the greatest star La Masia ever produced and on the other, a Spain side almost entirely built on La Masia's core...
Forget all of Spain for a second, for a born and raised, lifelong Barcelona fan, World Cup final was an absolute feast.

[LGD2Business]

Barca has sent Ronald Araujo to Liverpool. Araujo was getting plenty of playing time had he not been injured, but he was slightly behind Cubarsi and Martin. I think Barca made the right move. The buyout clause is 55 million Euro. If he doesn't get injured again, Liverpool will sign him and that will be a profitable deal for Barca.
Flick is looking for a new center back, he thinks Cubarsi needs a better partner. Barca's defense was already solid last season, they would improve even further with the addition of another top class center back. Maybe Aymeric Laporte would come, but Athletic doesn't want to give him.

So are you in any way accepting what he just said? Isn't it obvious he might be a Barcelona fans? Like what exactly does he mean by saying that, besides if we should judge it with the players Barcelona brought to the just concluded FIFA world which among those players that we can point out is the major success to that trophy like every hand is pointing at Rodri, for the fact that Barcelona had the most players in that Spanish team what exactly is there contribution to the team, how many goals and assists did they have? There are somethings we shouldn't be saying.

Barca has always been a major contender for the champions league and with Rodri being added to the squad, it is going to be of further boost to them even having an higher chance of winning it at least this time. one things that rodri does is being overly dorminating at the mid field and doing so for a team like barca that are good at playing the ball on the leg, it just perfectly complement the strategy that the team is generally known for. If the quest to get Rodri to playing at FC Barca pulls through, even the likes of real Madrid will know that they have something even bigger to face in this season.

Barcelona is very fortunate to have many players playing for the Spanish national team. Barcelona fans are certainly very proud because the team they support has good and famous players. However, of course, Real Madrid now has Cucurella, and this will certainly give Real Madrid the potential to have great strength, as Cucurella is a good defender.

However, what is certain is that even though Barcelona has more Spanish national team players, the competition in the El Clasico match will be more exciting because Real Madrid has many strong players, and it will certainly not be easy for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid. Well, we'll see what happens later, but what is clear is that now many are curious about the performance of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the upcoming season.

In El Clasico, the nationality of the players doesn't matter; what matters is the players the team has. The Spanish national team may be the best in the world, and Barcelona may have a lot of Spaniards in their squad, but that doesn't always mean they can win against Real Madrid.

Every El Clasico is different; even if they played three games with the same lineups, the results would be different in all three, and either team could win. That's why it's both very difficult to predict and very enjoyable to watch. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have strong squads this year, and it will be truly exciting to watch

Rodri's contract at Manchester City will expire next year. Manchester City will have to make an important decision about him in the near future. Barcelona will want to sign him and increase the strength of the team, but Manchester City has the ability to extend his contract. Rodri's attitude is still unclear, but various sources say that he likes the Barcelona team and is interested in going there. He is world-renowned as a defensive midfielder and if Barcelona can sign him, their team strength will increase and it will become more challenging for any team to win against them.

It would be a shame not to see Rodri in the Premier League anymore, but I think that if he signs for either of the teams (Real,Barca), it will be a strong boost for their ambitions both in La Liga and the Champions League. At the beginning of the transfer window, I was sure he would be going to Real, and I don't know what happened that they didn't bring him, not to mention that Real desperately need to strengthen the midfield department. So it's an enigma to me why they didn't sign him.
