La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

And it's clearly not easy for Mourinho, because getting world-class players to be less selfish is clearly a very difficult challenge. Because even now, I don't think Mourinho has been able to make a very significant change in Real Madrid's performance. So, in my personal opinion, if Real Madrid doesn't see any progress this season, I think they should overhaul the players they currently have. Because I think with the overhaul, there could be major changes that occur. Because if they continue to force the current players, it will definitely make everything even more difficult for Real Madrid. Because currently, there are already several prominent coaches who train Real Madrid, and the results are still not visible. So I don't think the main problem at Real Madrid is the coach. But the players who are not compatible to play together. So, I hope that if all this continues to happen to Real Madrid, hopefully there will be a major overhaul of this team. Because I believe it will make a big difference.

No changes reflecting on the players performance has been made only that they haven't fought themselves. The club is worse than they were under Xabi Alonso if we look at the period the two have them has stayed in the club. I don't know if the players are selfish among themselves, what I'm sure of is there inability to play properly as a team let's face it, with the calibre of players in the club, Real Madrid is not supposed to be struggling the way they are doing now, it's a top club but it's not acting like one. I wonder what made the president to consider bringing in Mourinho for the second time when a coach like Kloop was free at that time. He will have made lots of changes in the club, by now we would have seen the reflection of such changes in the players because they are stars and it's quiet easy for them adapt with almost the same method.

Injury is the reason why Barcelona tried to bring more players this summer, they signed Adeyemi to play upfront and also Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal, so if they have injured players, these set of players can help even though their quality will not be up to that of the main players.

Adeyemi has become a regular starter under Flick, so obviously he wasn’t signed to be a backup. Jesus on the other hand, is constantly sitting on the bench, so it’s clear that he was brought in to be a useful rotation player. Barcelona competes in many tournaments, and there are plenty of cup matches, so I think that’s exactly why Jesus was signed. And if he can prove himself and score a lot of goals, I think Flick could easily start using him as a regular starter.

Yes, that's right. If a team has targets in every competition, of course the main thing a coach has to consider is bringing in backup players who can support the main squad, and this also makes it easier for the coach to rotate players. 

Barcelona's failure in last season's UCL and Copa del Rey competitions was due to their lack of squad depth especially backup players. Flick's goal in recruiting Jesus is of course not just for a substitute, but Barcelona needs a pure striker since Lewa is no longer with the team. Right now, Barcelona can easily win matches even without a pure striker because he can utilize players like Yamal, Raphinha and Adeyemi, but when they hit a deadlock, Jesus' ability as a target man is really needed to break the deadlock.

Substitute or backup player has a huge role in supporting the team where it matters, the main players’ role is to keep the team moving ahead but the backup’s role is to do the same when the main players are not available so bringing in reliable and dependable players that can take over the role of the main players is key, but imo this is the hardest part as a good backup player also needs time to play and if there’s no chance for him on the pitch most “good” backups tend to leave the club either on loan or permanently so rotation is really important, and having and maintaining a good backup player is a skill of a manager not a certain player.

[Abdulzuruku01]

Raphinha was injured last season and could not play for a long time in the Barcelona team. If this happens this season, probably it will not have a negative impact. The team has enough reserve players who can fill his empty place. Although Raphinha is performing better this season and is in the highest position among the Spanish league scorers. It is necessary to take precautionary measures in advance so that he does not get injured and I hope the team manager will take appropriate measures.

II think Barcelona will win very easily against Getafe and the goal difference will probably be 3-0. Getafe is not a strong team and the team will only try to win. The team has won only 2 out of 7 matches and lost 3. Barca will win easily in both the matches you mentioned but will probably lose against PSG in the next match of the Champions League.

No any Barcelona fan will pray for Raphinha to get injury like what happened last season because it will definitely affect them. I know they can still perform better without him, but I don't think any of the reserve players can score goals like him because right now Raphinha is Barcelona goal machine, even though that's not his natural position. The energy he puts into finding the net nobody in Barcelona is doing that in Barcelona now.

In LaLiga Barcelona fans don't worry much about their opponents because they believe Barca will beat any team they play. But their focus is on how many goals Raphinha will score for them, because they see him competing with Kylian Mbappe for the Golden Boot. And I'm also confident without injury Raphinha will win the golden boot this season because he's currently leading Kylian Mbappe with five goals.

[Rabata]

I have also heard that Mbappe is criticized a lot, although his personal performance is the best scorer in the Spanish league in the last two seasons, but he has succeeded in his own efforts in that case if he cannot win the team his personal performance will be hide.

In every team there will always be criticism, it's normal, but based on what we've seen, he's the one Mourinho trusts the most, as well as Espí, whom he sees as his secret weapon. Now I don't understand why he doesn't start him and only brings him on at the end. Now he has to trust him and Endrick. We'll wait and see how Mbappé's injury develops and how the team, which has significant absences, can be restructured. At this moment, I'd say Rodri would have been a good signing, but since he preferred Barcelona, perhaps he wasn't worthy of Real Madrid. Someone who has doubts about the best team in the world can't be part of it.

All this criticism of Mbappe is of no use because the actual issue is the kind of tactical caution Mourinho is playing. The man keeps playing a safe system, he doesn't want to take chances which is why he keeps leaving young and motivated stars like Espi and Endrick on the bench. He should know by now that those guys on the bench surely possess the type of hunger he is looking for in players. Mbappe will always face heavy media backlash because he is a worldclass player so that's not a new thing. But seriously, Jose Mourinho should wake up and start using the machinery of players he has available to him right now, he will face the music when the questions start coming in from Perez.

The job of the media is to create news about any hot topic over and over again. So it is very natural that there is a lot of discussion about Mbappe. There is always speculation about a world-class CF. If the player is under pressure because of that, then the matter becomes different. Mbappe should not pay attention to all these things and focus more on training.

You also said that Mourinho has tactical problems. But I want to say that Mourinho is working with the best strategy for Real Madrid. Because we all know the condition of Real Madrid before the coach change. Big problems have suddenly calmed down only through Mourinho's tactical system. Mourinho uses a system where he knows when a player is needed. The hunger in Espi or Endrick does not mean that the team's balance will be right when they enter the field. So we need to look more at how effective Mourinho's system is on the field. Because I think he will change at the right time to handle the situation on the field.

[Chilwell]

There is no reason to give all the blame to a striker like Mbappe, especially because he is scoring goals regularly. He has even been the top scorer in La Liga for the last two seasons. Also, the problem is not limited to Mourinho's safe tactics. It is a natural process for any team to adapt to a new system when a new coach comes in. On top of that, injuries, defensive balance and the transition from midfield to attack also affect the results.

There is no reason to put all the blame on a striker like Mbappe as the Frenchman has been excellent every season for Real Madrid, and you should note that last season he scored 25 goals in La Liga and 15 goals in the UEFA Champions League and he has already scored eight goals for Real Madrid this season.

Even he scored a goal against Turkey to prove that the player has excelled in the UEFA Nations League, so I think he is the most reliable striker in this team. At this stage it's true that when a new coach comes in, well it's a normal process for any team to adapt to a new system but Mbappe is already injured so it seems that Real Madrid's attack might be weak in the upcoming matches.

It's not going to be funny at all for Real Madrid because mbappé is one of their key players that helps them in doing the job always. I will not be happy with anyone who is blaming mbappé. Since when he arrived at the club, he is trying to pull out from others despite real Madrid performance are not in a good shape. Is injury were definitely affect Real Madrid because anytime he plays a scores and that is why respected him so much. I'm just waiting to see how real madrid performance will be after the international break but still it is not going to be easy for them having Barcelona at the top of the table.

[Dzwaafu11]

During Mourinho’s first spell at Madrid, Barcelona were also at their best and he has a very strong squad with great players which he managed well but also didn’t win the Laliga in his first season, so he might probably win a trophy this season like Copa Del Rey but for Laliga, Barcelona are very clear favorite to win except for an unexpected event that will greatly impact the team's performance.

At that time, Real Madrid was a team with almost the best players in the world, and also Mourinho is in his prime as a coach because he has managed some big teams, he had a good experience in other teams he managed, but this time, it is totally different. Mourinho is not in his prime anymore, he has lost form as a coach because he got sacked in almost all the recent teams he managed and they were average teams in a league that is not as competitive as Laliga or any top five league, yet he couldn’t help any of these team won any title, I will not expect a trophy from him. He can win small trophies like Copa Del Rey and others, but Laliga is for Barcelona this season, they have good squad more than Madrid and I don’t expect Mourinho to turn things around easily after being defeated twice this season.

It will not be easy for Mounrinho this season because with the performance  Barcelona is currently showing us at the moment. There is no team in La liga that can outform Barcelona.

However, I dont even think Real Madrid will even be a big challenge for Barcelona winning the trophy because honestly I know there is a very big chance that Barcelona will win the La liga this season, expectation was too much for Mounrinho that is uts actually disappointing seeing him perform this way.

[RockBell]

madrid actually have there own way of doing there things bro nobody understands what Madrid is doing but and no matter what no one will blame Mbappe for anything that is happening in real madrid because, all so the kind of effort that boy is putting and i was blaming him but as it may be i saw the way he performed during the World Cup and am sure that majority of us were impressed and we know no one should blame the boy again this time i will blame the management of the club.

Mbappe's efforts should be appreciated, and Real Madrid don't know what they have because the kind of speed that Mbappe has is just exceptional. They have to find a way to make use of him because the team is not actually well organized to the extent that they will be able to get the kind of results that they want. They need to put in more effort to do that because the players are the problem, to me, but it's only Madrid that can tell us exactly what's wrong with them.

[Rashlyowl]

I cannot agree with that, in my opinion, Barcelona failed to win those two competitions due to their bad luck, not because of a lack of squad depth. They became league champions, shouldn't that be proof enough that they are actually good?

For the Copa del Rey, I can say that they are less fortunate. As for the Champions League, there is no need for further debate, we must honestly acknowledge that the two teams reaching the final are the ones that deserve to be there.

[Creeper0]

What a coincidence, PSG won the Champions League the season after Mbappe left PSG and on the other hand, Real Madrid forgot to win the title since the season Mbappe joined Real Madrid. Actually, Mbappe is not at fault here, he should not be blamed for such a situation.

Mbappe is a great player for the national team, his chemistry with his teammates is also great. Even in the national team, a balanced team is formed with him. But in club football, he has never been able to develop good chemistry with his teammates, rather the balance of the team has been lost. It is very difficult to say whose problem it is here, but the improvement of one club after he left the club and the deterioration of another club after he joined the club basically indicates his selfish behavior. We will be clear only when we see the performance of Real Madrid without Mbappe. You can never become a good player through individual performance, and that performance has no real value without team success.

It won't be a long-term injury. He will be sidelined for a short period and will rejoin the team immediately after the international break. Real Madrid is fortunate that Mbappé hasn't suffered a long-term injury, meaning they will be able to count on him for crucial matches. They will especially need Mbappé for the game against Barcelona.

[KTChampions]

So, if they had better squad depth, would they definitely have won the Champions League? That is a highly questionable claim, given that they didn't even come close to achieving that last season - they stumbled at the very first serious opponent. It goes without saying that having a deep squad is an advantage when you aim to win every tournament you enter, but the level of competition in the Champions League is such that even depth guarantees nothing - and so far, Barcelona has not come close to the level of the tournament's top favorites.

Having a large number of quality players in the squad makes the head coach's job easier. With so many matches being played, it is a major advantage to be able to rest certain players or rely on substitutes to impact the scoreline. While this advantage can be utilized in league matches, the Champions League operates on a completely different level; all top teams possess deep squads of quality players and know how to effectively use their substitutes.

Since success in the Champions League hinges on a multitude of factors, simply having excellent players on the bench does not guarantee success. Ultimately, the outcome of matches in the competition depends on the players' drive on the day and the strength of the team's collective play.

[Byebyebtc]

It will not be easy for Mounrinho this season because with the performance  Barcelona is currently showing us at the moment. There is no team in La liga that can outform Barcelona.

We don't expect him to win the trophy right away from his first season with this present Real Madrid. He is doing well for his first season also with some advantages from the team players, because they are good and experienced.
Barcelona is an already built team, the understand their selves pretty well, so you should expect a good performance from them, Real Madrid on the other hand doesn't have to be pressured by Barcelona at this moment they should work on getting their selves together via understanding and chemistry, then next season and upper they should focus on winning the league..

[coinlary]

-snip-

But their focus is on how many goals Raphinha will score for them, because they see him competing with Kylian Mbappe for the Golden Boot. And I'm also confident without injury Raphinha will win the golden boot this season because he's currently leading Kylian Mbappe with five goals.

Lol you think so  .
Yeah maybe we fans are crazily after Raphinha beating mbappe record or getting the golden boot from him this season, but Flick doesn’t  really care about that, he can bench him at anytime without  caring if he's competing for goals or not .

Although he seem to be aware of what goals his players are after and i guess that’s the reason he's been playing Yamal non stop these days but i don't  think he prioritize such that much over doing what's right.

[Wake Up]

In my opinion, Barcelona is currently one of the teams capable of winning the championship. What kind of performance were you expecting? They have entered a magnificent run of form with their entire squad and are scoring a lot of goals. I believe they will replicate this success in the Champions League as well. I see Barcelona as one of the top contenders for the title this year they are already the clear favorite in La Liga and are currently well ahead of Real Madrid. I see a team capable of winning the championship in every competition this season.

Barcelona title race is here and they're doing everything within their reach to win the league title this season. Barcelona will always come out as the elite team that they are and wouldn't be settling for any lesser scores. Barcelona have Hansi Flick, a manager that's acquainted with winnings always and he doesn't know how to drop points or lose. La Liga title will not be easy this season because we have Atletico De Madrid and Real Madrid all coming out to compete, I will just say let the best team wins.

[LUCKMCFLY]

You are right, giving other young players like Endrick a chance could be good. But it is not a surefire solution to the problem just by bringing in young players. The problem will not be completely solved until Mourinho understands which combination will be the most balanced in the team.

It's a fact, today I watched the Brazil vs. Australia friendly and I really liked how Endrick and Vini played. I didn't see Raphinha shine much, but a player who is truly excellent in my opinion is Estevão. Real Madrid has very good players, including Mbappé, Vini, and Endrick, who needs some help to get playing time. I think it all comes down to Mourinho seeing something special in training that will make him want to start him.

Mou is already looking at and studying what he can do. Real Madrid has a very difficult time in La Liga, with a series of problems that go beyond football, including the refereeing decisions, which are always controversial something I find very bad.

[Saltysugar99]

No any Barcelona fan will pray for Raphinha to get injury like what happened last season because it will definitely affect them. I know they can still perform better without him, but I don't think any of the reserve players can score goals like him because right now Raphinha is Barcelona goal machine, even though that's not his natural position. The energy he puts into finding the net nobody in Barcelona is doing that in Barcelona now.

In LaLiga Barcelona fans don't worry much about their opponents because they believe Barca will beat any team they play. But their focus is on how many goals Raphinha will score for them, because they see him competing with Kylian Mbappe for the Golden Boot. And I'm also confident without injury Raphinha will win the golden boot this season because he's currently leading Kylian Mbappe with five goals.

Raphinha is one of impactful players of Barcelona at the moment. His injury is definitely a concern for Barcelona. Barcelona haven't lost a single match in the last 7 matches this season, and Raphinha has scored 12 goals. It's really incredible. His contribution has made Barcelona's path to victory easier. The space created by marking him separately from the opponent also gives the other forwards the opportunity to score goals. As I noticed during Lamine's goal shots. And he hasn't only scored a goal in one match out of the last 7 matches, he has scored goals consistently in all the other matches. This consistency of his performance will take Barcelona a long way . The overall team's strength has increased a lot.

I agree with you that you blame the management of the club for Real Madrid sad state but I will also say that they are trying. They have spent a lot of money and signed expensive players. They have an experienced manager, but no one can understand why the team is not doing so well.

If there were any weaknesses in Mbappe individual performance, then maybe we would all criticize him because you have to tell the truth. I also think that Mbappe should be praised for his overall performance. He plays football with all his might and his pace sometimes makes the opposition players feel helpless. Those who criticize him should show a reliable player from Real Madrid who is playing better than Mbappe. You can blame Mbappe luck because he could not win any significant trophies while at PSG and Real Madrid are trophyless even after coming here but his individual performance is not lacking.
