La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Shadiq]

Sometimes if there's no challenges, it's doesn't make any sense because that will not attract people to have interest in the league. Barcelona have dominated for two consecutive seasons which was the reason why it was for boring because they don't have any challenge. I am optimistic that this season will be interesting simply because real Madrid have realised their mistakes and they will want to correct those mistakes far beyond their imagination, i expect to see a lot of challenges every in the Champions League between these two teams.

For me, La Liga has not become boring yet, even though Barcelona won the title last season, the matches were quite interesting. The league has not yet reached a stage where the champion team can be determined before the season starts. Real Madrid competed well at some point last season and had dreams of winning the title, but in the end they failed to maintain consistency.

Can you claim right now that Barcelona is going to win the upcoming season? Or Real Madrid is going to win? Or either of these two teams is going to win? I don't think it is possible to say anything for sure in these three cases, Atletico Madrid played quite well towards the end of last season which is why Barcelona regularly fails against them.

These past few days I came across news regarding Mourinho's strict rules for Madrid players. There are 3 strict rules that Mourinho imposes on his players. This is related to a more controlled diet, discipline, and punctuality, fostering team cohesion in routine activities such as eating together. Will Mourinho succeed? I don't understand; it seems he wants to create a uniform standard for all players. But there are risks in the locker room that might occur. Player conflicts could become the next problem. It even seems he would never get rid of his best players. So this situation could change if Mourinho is unable to manage things and gain support from the management.  IMO

Mourinho are finding the best real solution for Madrid and I think it's gonna work because if you put discipline in any team they are mature team and gonna win anything you want but the problem is will they succeed to do that's as you said madrid dressing problems is the next big obstacles for mourhino to deal with it because we see last season how madrid players can deal each other.  Hope mourhino already have a plan for that's and hope they succeed with this mindset but it's look very difficult to control players ego it's the whole dressing room mess and you don't know what's to do with that's and how to United him.

These are some of the reasons I believe Mourinho is the best thing that has ever happened to Real Madrid. The rules will help develop better players, especially when it comes to being disciplined when you have to arrive on the field on time. If you don't arrive on time, it will show that the club lacks discipline, which will affect their performance. The only way to deal with problems like this is to instill discipline in the club.

Since a lot of work needs to be done to turn Madrid into a better team once more, we all want the season to start so we can see how things will turn out. After seeing each of his players, he would have understood how to get them to play. And since it's the only way he can accomplish his objective, I'm confident that the management will support him in whatever choice he makes.

In my opinion, Jose Mourinho is one of the best managers in this regard. He can manage to keep both the bench players and the team's most important players under discipline. Of course, we will see this in the matches played when the season starts. However, he has a managerial career as extensive as that of Real Madrid players. Therefore, if a manager who will work with stars is needed, I think he was the best option. I believe that by ensuring the best harmony between Mbappé and the other players, he will be the most important factor in achieving significant success for the team.

The major problem Morinho will have is player supremacy in the team, some players feel they are more important than the others and that was the main reason Vinicius demanded for increment of salary
He was now feeling the club as a whole value Mbape more than him, and this same issue might still bring issues on the pitch because when the chances to score goals and giving assists will surface on the field, one will be feeling of he passes to the other, he will get more goal contribution than the other person, and so on it will bring  bad results and performance.
If Morinho will ever be successful as a manager in that team, he must first of all make sure he makes everyone feel at home, and love themselves. If there is harmony in that team, then Madrid can go on to be the best club in the world because they currently have the best players than any other team in Europe now.

The El Classico will be very much anticipated this season because they will be real competition in the game and people will like to see whether Real Madrid is back to actually win a trophy or not.

El Clásico is always eagerly anticipated by many people because it’s such a big match. In fact, this time around, Real Madrid fans are really hoping that Mourinho can beat Barcelona in El Clásico. That’s because, ever since Hansi Flick became Barcelona’s coach, Real Madrid has always lost to Barcelona in El Clásico. That’s why most people want to see if Real Madrid can stop Barcelona this time, or if they’ll once again be at Barcelona’s mercy.

The fact that Barcelona has been winning them lately does not really make any sense i mean it is not longer interesting because there should be some fight or both side win and not just a team winning all the time. Mourinho really have a lot of work to do in Real Madrid else we will still see same result but i think his managerial will be different from others because he is such a discipline and strict person. They can actually stop Barcelona if their minds are the same.

Sometimes if there's no challenges, it's doesn't make any sense because that will not attract people to have interest in the league. Barcelona have dominated for two consecutive seasons which was the reason why it was for boring because they don't have any challenge.

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona will engage in an intense battle for the championship. While Real Madrid's squad appears larger, Barcelona's current roster shows they are one of the strongest contenders for the title again this year. Of course, some players have left and some have joined, but with such a strong squad, it's only natural that Barcelona will be chasing the Spanish league championship.

Real Madrid always wants to face Barcelona with full strength. But Barcelona always defeats Real Madrid with their skillful and balanced performance. This time too, the opposite will not happen. Real Madrid and Barcelona will enter a fierce battle to win the title, but the point to be seen is, can Madrid really do it? A golden era of Real Madrid is over. They spent the first season of the new beginning very badly. This year, Madrid should start the new season by learning from their bad times. Because Madrid's arch-rival Barcelona is still at the top with their balanced performance.

[verdinio]

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

I agree and i won't change my mind, Carreras is a good player, but i don't see him as a Real Madrid player at all, especially thinking about full-backs like Marcelo, i think there is nothing comparable. So, i don't mind Carreras, but Cucurella will certainly be the excellent starter that Real Madrid needs, even if he will still have to strengthen many other parts of the pitch.

I think Mourinho understands what is best for his team so he made these rules to improve the discipline and cohesiveness of his team.. because we all know that the problem of team cohesiveness was one of Real Madrid's problems last season, so Mourinho is trying to improve this team and improve the discipline of the players to improve Real Madrid's situation for next season. and I think Mourinho can succeed in doing that, because he has so much experience in handling a big team and players with high egos, so this time maybe it won't be more difficult for him.

Because Madrid's arch-rival Barcelona is still at the top with their balanced performance.

The main thing to watch is whether the bad times that Madrid have started will end this season. If José Mourinho cannot bring Madrid to a balanced position now, then they will not be able to survive against Barcelona this season either, and they may lose the title again. Madrid will have to go to a balanced position as much as Barcelona is balanced, but their last season was the worst, where there was a fight within their own team, and the dressing room was completely out of control, now José Mourinho has to fix these, if Madrid wants to return to the golden era like before, then they must learn from their last two seasons without a title, and start the season with a united team. Let's see if José Mourinho can keep the team balanced.

Rodri coming to Barcelona if at all he is coming will not make them unbeatable, I'm not trying to downplay his performance as a footballer because Rodri is a really good player and has been moving from trophy to trophy lately but his addition alone won't make it possible for Barcelona to win the Laliga, one advantage they will have though is that he will be playing with people he is already familiar with.

This is going to be a huge disappointment for me as a Madrid fan.
Not only about hijacking at crucial times but with the presence of Rodri we will see Barcelona's midfield become more solid where Rodri, Dani Olmo and De Jong will be a trio that is quite difficult to conquer.

Rodri's composure in setting up the ball, De Jong in charge to open up space and help set the tempo with Rodri and Dani Olmo assigned more help in attack and move freely in the middle of the field it will be quite troublesome.

Rodri's presence does not guarantee Barcelona to secure La Liga but this is a very good addition for them to get a pretty good performance next season and I as a rival fan would certainly be very disturbed if this really happened.

The Madrid fans are going a little crazy over it. Yes Rodri is class. The world seems to be talking about him as if he is still 2023-24. He was then scoring goals and crashing into the box and doing everything. That guy had his ACL torn. Then spent a whole season barely playing. Then played a World Cup running on fumes and immediately needed back surgery. He is 30.

Barcelona will not receive a super hero. They are getting a really really smart midfielder who probably cannot play more than 25 games. And when he is not available, Barca goes back to a 19-year-old and a 22-year-old in the pivot. Think about that for a second.

Rodri is making Barcelona attack better. But he might be able to prevent the idiotic goals that Barcelona always seemed to let in. Their defense overperformed massively last season, like way beyond what they should have gotten away with. Rodri patches that.

Vini and Mbappe on the counter with a guy that reads and positions more than rushes with speed? I do not know. There is something there that could still be exploited. The Olmo thing is legitimate. That collaboration with Spain is quite scary and it translates literally. No warm up required.

Jose Mourinho is known for giving strict rules to players so it's not something new anymore but while he is trying to create a harmonious relationship among players, he should know that these are big players too and as such he should lead them with wisdom because if the players are not feeling free within themselves, it can pose a risk towards the improvement of the team. Real Madrid has enough squad depth already, Jose Mourinho should use them properly and proffer solutions where necessary. Every player must put aside their individual characters and work together with Mourinho so that they can experience one of their best seasons again.

Well, managing lots of players like this is a very difficult task and I have also been wondering how Jose Mourinho plans to make this happen and pull it through. He has been a great manager in the past, but in this how he does in other clubs he has managed or just using this club because of Hurley indiscipline to teach them a lesson as the new manager of the club? Jose Mourinho has been managing the team well so far since he assumed duty and we have not heard of any complain from the players for any kind of behaviour or criticism that isn’t warranted. I think he is going to do his best, but if this method is going to work out or not for his is what I’m not sure about. Jose Mourinho is one that always wants to get what he aims at done in the best possible way he can, I hope he can pull this though also.

Mourinho is really going to put in alot of hard work to see that Real Madrid get back to its performance. I believe Mounrinho is going to make sure Real Madrid do well in the next coming season, but will have to be when he make sure the team performance is back, but the question is, is it going to happen in the next coming season?

That is what I want people to understand, there is alot to be changed to be changed and they have already in such process, it will difficult for them to get that in coming season.

Mou wants to show that the position of the coach remains higher than the players and this will be a good thing for Madrid, who in recent seasons (especially last season) have always had problems with the discipline and ego of the players because with the increase in discipline that occurs, it also tells the players that they do not have time to make big assumptions about the differences in the treatment of players.

It will probably create a new split if players don't accept things like this but for the pattern of discipline from the beginning in the Ancelotti era also feels a little bit the same and maybe this is a little loose in the Arbeloa and Xabi era but now the Mou era will be further improved back.
I actually prefer this condition so that the players are more mature in responding to something especially in the last 2 seasons they seem to relax more even though the pressure is very large.

Of course. Every player has to think about the team to perform at their best. Thinking about the team can lead to good performances, because players who think about each other can result in more goals. Morin knows how to play with quality players. Now all he has to do is use his experience to ensure these players work together harmoniously.

Mourinho is always like this right form his early days of managing career. Strict rules, tight control and no room for slacking some players adapt into it and some others hate it. The only danger is when results don't start showing fast. then the strict rules start to feel like punishment and the dressing room can turn against him. He had the issue of slow progress in Man U. But again he has done it before and it worked, but that was with a different generation of players. Today's squad might not respond the same way. But if Madrid eventually start winning, everyone will praise his methods. If they struggle, the players will start showing serious attitude. That's just how it goes with him.

I no longer expect anything from Jose Mourinho, mif you have followed him recently around the clubs he has been appointed, you will see that, this is exactly how these players and the environment act so seriously like they want to win all of the trophies they're competing for but all of a sudden, all these momentum slide away. I have simply seen him as a manager responsible for bringing this sqaud together and it will be beneficial to the next two managers who are in charge of Real Madrid. They should be the one responsible for winning the Champions League not Jose Mourinho. I no longer fall for all these eye services, he will have to put in work or get sacked.

Not like really dominating .

The gap wasn’t  really that much andbesides, both of them don't  even deserve it last season . They played horrible games on and offf until the season ending was approaching which was around round of 16 for champions league. If not because Atletico was competing for upto 4 trophies, they could have won laliga last  season but as usual,  they ruled out laliga early and end up losing every single trophy they competed for .

My point is that even Barcelona didn’t deserve to win the league last season, they need more competition from other clubs in same league.

There were some changes last season , i believe it should get better this season.

The three teams that were promoted to La Liga for the 2026/2027 season are Racing Santander, Deportivo La Coruna, and Malaga CF. I see that none of these three teams are newcomers; they have played in La Liga before. Who will manage to stay up seems really hard to tell. But it looks like Deportivo has a chance to stay, while Racing Santander and Malaga might struggle to compete with the bigger clubs. I think finances are still a major factor in developing a team.

I’m glad these three teams are finally back in La Liga. Especially Deportivo La Coruña. If I’m not mistaken, Deportivo La Coruña was last relegated from La Liga in 2018. Back in the day, Deportivo La Coruña enjoyed a golden age and even produced some top players. I really hope these three teams can stay in La Liga for a long time. However, it all comes down to their financial situation. I hope everything works out for them.
