Omo, football fans, the season hasn’t even started and the predictions are already rolling in — and this one is bound to spark debates from Madrid to Lagos. According to data from Opta’s supercomputer, reigning La Liga champions Barcelona are tipped as favourites to lift the trophy again in 2025/26.
Barca’s Treble-Defending Mindset
Hansi Flick’s men are still riding high after a historic treble-winning 2024/25 campaign, where they dominated Spain and beyond. Now, if the numbers are anything to go by, the Blaugrana could be on their way to another domestic crown.
But omo, wait first — let’s see how the supercomputer broke it down.
The Predicted Odds
Opta’s data allegedly gives Barcelona a 46.5% chance of clinching the La Liga title this season. That’s the highest in the league, leaving their rivals chasing.
Right behind them are arch-enemies Real Madrid, who, under new manager Xabi Alonso, are predicted to have a 32.1% chance of reclaiming the trophy.
Coming in third are Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid, but omo, their odds drop sharply to just 11.7% — still possible, but clearly an uphill battle.
The Rivalry Already Heating Up
With Barca and Madrid both making big summer moves, the stage is set for a dramatic season. If Flick can keep his squad focused and injury-free, the Catalans might just prove the supercomputer right. But as we all know, football no be mathematics — a single bad week can scatter all these numbers.
One thing is certain: whether you’re a Culé, a Madridista, or just here for the drama, La Liga 2025/26 is shaping up to be very spicy.
