La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Rgram]

I just hope that a wise resolution to the conflicts within the team will be reached soon so that they can play with peace and comfort and their ambitions can be realized, that's all but it seems very difficult if the situation of the players in conflict does not subside.

I feel there is no conflict in Real Madrid, or if there was any before, it has already been settled. I'm  saying this because their performance last night was very much impressive. A team with problems inside the dressing room cannot play that.
Their best player Mbappe was missing and he was not even on the bench, but Real Madrid still scored five goals against Real Betis. That shows the team is very much united. The players played calmly, understood each other, and worked well together.
From what I saw, the team looks peaceful.. And if at all there was any conflict of any kind, they never allowed it to affect the game.

Honestly since the Club World Cup everyone’s been sleeping on Gonzalo’s performance and what he’s actually capable of. It’s like his potential is just being totally ignored right now. i’m telling you, I haven't seen a striker as complete as Gonzalo in the last years. He’s got everything. If Xabi wants to keep his job and stay in charge, he seriously needs to wake up and start giving Gonzalo more playing time. You can't leave a talent like that on the bench if you want to succeed.

Real Madrid were as much title candidates in this game and the 5-1 result was a replica of their superiority throughout the game. Gonzalo was the most outstanding performer and his hat trick was timely. Having experienced poor scoring in the season, he demonstrated calmness, good mobility, and instinct of a true striker at the goal line. His potential is surprising to lose so fast and in particular after his performance at the Club World Cup. The creativity of Rodrygo was also a contributing factor and he would give good passes which would make it look easy to attack. In the second half, Betis made attempts to go back, but Madrid remained in charge. Based on this performance, Gonzalo should be given regular minutes should he persist with his performance.

That's right. Also, Gonzalo's all 3 goals were very beautiful. One with his right foot, one with his left and one with a header. He got a chance because Mbappe was missing and he used it very well. Right now Real Madrid's attack is not very effective. He is the best striker in the squad. So he should play more in my opinion.
By the way Rodrygo played very well too. He made really effective crosses during the match.

This was the second time for Gonzalo García to be in the starting lineup in the La Liga this season. And he made a hat-trick!

But honestly it was a really special one. Did you see the goals he scored? All of them were impressive ones. This shows how talented he is and Xabi Alonso can give him chances more comfortably.

I must admit that I never expected such a big win by Real Madrid in this game. But they really needed that one!

Since Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid he has always trust Gonzalo Garcia so much, though it will be very hard to give him minutes like he would wish to but we have seen him get more playing time that the like of Endrick and even Brahim Diaz. He his an exceptional kid and if he his given the proper minutes he would go on and be a good striker. Well I would give credit to all Real Madrid players yesterday as they step up very much, they started the new year in good way and that is a very good sign that they might be challenging Barcelona for the title to the very end.

No one actually expected this score line, regarding how Real Madrid have been struggling lately in games, then with Mbappe out injured we all though they would struggled but at the end they cruise pass Real Betis. It was a good one from them as they keep up to put pressure on Barcelona.

Gonzalo played well yesterday and it really makes me wonder why this kind of player has been on the bench since beginning of the season. And very likely he will end up in bench when mbappe returns from injury. That could really hinder his confidence that he building back yesterday. 5-1 against Real betis was a strong win for Madrid. Real betis never really played anything good throughout the game. Now the gap is closed to Barcelona again and the season is still long . This is the time that unnecessary losses should be avoided.  And I am happy that we Barcelona won one of our toughest games on Saturday, this kind of game can make any big teams to lose points but kudos to Olmo and Fermin.

We have seen the weakness of Real Madrid's attack in the last few matches. But Real Madrid won 5-1 against Real Betis by a big margin. It was very difficult to score 5 goals against a team like Real Betis. Madrid players performed well.

The main attraction of this match was Gonzalo Garcia's three goals. This was probably Garcia's first goal in La Liga, as well as his first hat-trick. Rodrygo, Garcia and Vini are playing very well. Apart from Mbappe, Madrid won by a big margin. So will Alonso Mbappe be left out of the squad?  Just kidding. Mbappe is the most important player in Madrid's squad. But it is also certain that Rodrygo and Garcia will be given more playing time in Madrid's squad in the future.

Finally, girona was able to escape the relegation zone by defeating Mallorca. Girona should be able to perform even better in upcoming matches to avoid relegation this season. Girona's 1-2 victory over Mallorca indicates that Girona may be able to bounce back from this point on. Personally, I still want Girona to play in La Liga next season. Osasuna will be Girona's opponent in the upcoming match. In my opinion, predicting the outcome of that match is difficult. But sometimes I'm confused about who has the potential to win. However, I think Girona will win against Osasuna, even though Girona and Osasuna are not evenly matched at the moment.

I think Vini may leave the team soon. but i’m really curious how the attack will change if it happens. There were a lot of rumors about Kenan Yildiz going to Real Madrid. He could fill that gap or maybe Mbappe moves to the left wing and Gonzalo plays as the striker instead.

It’s as if Gonzalo Garcia’s performance answered Xabi’s doubts about if their main players got injured. I’m also surprised by this result; I thought Madrid would have a hard time. But seeing this, I was wrong. Another question is whether Xabi will sell Rodrygo? They performed well, and I think Xabi should realize that they are very useful when some of Madrid’s main players are injured. Buying new players might be good, but it’s also a gamble. But at least not selling Rodrygo and buying new players is the best option. IMO

When you're a youngster that rarely gets playing time to prove your capabilities, you don't joke with any opportunity that comes your way, you utilise every part of it to make a statement so you'll be considered as a huge option in the future. That's exactly what Gonzalo Garcia did yesterday against Real Betis. Despite his impressive performance for Real Madrid during the FIFA Club World Cup, he's not been getting the nod because there is a certain Kylian Mbappe who's been delivering the goals with so much ease but after yesterday's man-of-the-match performance, there's no way Xabi Alonso won't start seeing Garcia as a big options. I won't even be surprised if he's added in the Spain national team squad for this year's summer world cup.

I hope Gonzalo Garcia can continue to be relied upon while Mbappé is injured, as his big win against Real Betis gave him plenty of playing time. Xabi Alonso should continue to give him space, and if Nico Paz returns to Madrid they should both demonstrate healthy competition. I prefer them over Vinicius whose quality this season has more negatives than positives.

For me this doesn't change anything because although Gonzalo Garcia impressed with a hat trick in that match, it might not answer the question of their main players being injured if Xabi Alonso is unable to maintain the consistency of his players.
But at least Gonzalo Garcia's presence can make Real Madrid much better. After all, beating Real Betis with a fairly promising score is a result to be proud of, as Real Betis themselves have looked strong this season.
Rodrygo has also performed very well in the previous matches and I think it's much better to buy other players than to sell him.

After a poor start to the season, Girona are slowly improving in the standings, their victory is especially important in the midst of their fans' crisis of confidence this season. I've also noticed that their play is becoming more organized, it's just a matter of fixing the defensive issues that still leave a lot of gaps.
As for the next game, if you're struggling to choose you could consider the option of both teams scoring or drawing, I'm personally considering this option for them vs Osasuna.

[dollyamo]

As for the match, after falling 3-0 behind, Betis went on the attack and scored. Even after making it 3-1, Betis' influence continued; the shot that hit the post and the missed clear chances were memorable. Real Madrid won 5-1. I think Mbappe's absence due to injury was better for Real.

exactly rodrygo was in negotiations with another club from what i knew everything was ready yes i think that the club should realize that these players are very important even though they were treated like poor players, this thing is not a right thing

By the way Rodrygo played very well too. He made really effective crosses during the match.

Xabi Alonso should be aware enough to utilize the players like those already at Real Madrid so that the focus isn't solely on Mbappé. Because when Mbappé is injured, other players can still cover the gaps, making the team as strong as ever. What Gonzalo did in that match was truly unexpected before the match started, and I hope Real Madrid can perform well while Mbappé is still recovering, and Gonzalo can be a more worthy replacement for Mbappé in future matches.

He did a great job yesterday. His goals will be remembered. His second goal in particular was beautiful. Even if Mbappe recovers, Gonzalo should be in the starting eleven. Mbappe shouldn't be in the starting eleven immediately upon recovery. Because if Gonzalo is in form, he should play. And Xabi Alonso is the one who will make that happen. Rodrygo is also very good. He's more useful than Vinicius in terms of passing and teamwork. If we, as football fans, see this, Alonso should see it too and be fair in distributing the starting positions. We'll see what time will show us.

[verdinio]

There are players that can be versatile and I think Mbape is one of them. Even before Real Madrid made CR7 the main striker, he used to play wing before he was converted. Another player in Real Madrid that was converted from wing to striker is Benzema, he used to provide all support for Ronaldo before he became the main man. Even Bellingham has played forward accurately before he was later returned to his main place but I don't think Vinicious can do that else they would have give it a try.

One thing I will like to point out, we should forget this media thing and negotiations that we speculate about players, Vinicious isn't going to leave Real Madrid because there isn't a better place honestly. I'm not even sure if he is going to be love like they love him here judging from the way he is stubborn. He will remain in Real Madrid until he doesn't have anything to offer again for the club but I firmly believe that guy can do a whole lot for the club.

certainly one of the main characteristics of these players is their ability to transform role and position, obviously it is not a very drastic change the section of the field that they have to cover must always be the one in attack, good for him

Gonzalo Garcia did surprise me and I was very excited about the game against Betis yesterday, but comparing him to Mbappe I think you're overreacting but if he is used as an alternative replacement or as a second focal point in attack I prefer it, both of them can play a role and reduce Mbappe's tendency up front, this makes Real Madrid more difficult to play against because the enemy will face two dangerous people who can pierce the opponent's defense.

[cxtreenal]

I just hope that a wise resolution to the conflicts within the team will be reached soon so that they can play with peace and comfort and their ambitions can be realized, that's all but it seems very difficult if the situation of the players in conflict does not subside.

I feel there is no conflict in Real Madrid, or if there was any before, it has already been settled. I'm  saying this because their performance last night was very much impressive. A team with problems inside the dressing room cannot play that.

From what I saw, the team looks peaceful.. And if at all there was any conflict of any kind, they never allowed it to affect the game.

You can't try to solve this issue in one match. There may be problems in the team but most problems are solved before they become apparent. If Real Madrid lose the next match again you will criticize and that is the norm. Mbappe was absent in the match but Vinicius kept up his performance but didn't score. There is a storm of criticism about him but he is an important player for Real Madrid. He is playing well even though he can not scoring at the moment and manager Xabi Alonso has expressed his opinion on this matter.
Real Betis conceded 5 goals due to their poor performance. The first goal in the 20 minute of the match made Real Madrid more aggressive and they continued to score goals.

[khiholangkang]

~~~

The result of the match was very crazy, the score was 5-1 for Real Madrid to win, this was beyond my expectations, who only thought it would end with a score of 2-1, Garcia got a hat trick, this strategy might be very useful for Real Madrid and make them play very impressively.
But I didn't find Mbappe in this match or on the bench? Where did he go? Was he injured? It's a shame that at a moment like this he doesn't play to add to his goal, he definitely regrets not playing against Real Betis.

If you watched the match from start to finish, then you will most likely know where Mbappe was during the match. But this is not important, it is because I think this match is really entertaining for all Real Madrid fans. Gonzalo Garcia scored a hat-trick in this match, I didn't expect that, but it was true that Real Betis' defense in this match was beyond expectations.

Real Madrid showed a good performance throughout the match, which is clearly good for maintaining their distance from Barcelona. Barcelona also won their match yesterday, so the standings and points gap remain the same as the previous week. Today's win means a lot to Real Madrid, they will be well motivated for their next match against Atletico Madrid for the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals.

After I looked it up it turned out that Mbappe was injured and he couldn't enter for 3 weeks, so there are many opportunities for Garcia to show his best performance while Mabppe is recovering and can score another hat trick in the next match as well as Vini can be more free maybe.

Barcelona remain at the top even though Madrid can do a very charming match, the difference is still 4 has not been reduced, I think the death of Barcelona must h2h with Madrid again to prove who lost in the match for the top of the standings, if not, who else can stop Barcelona?

[rachael9385]

Real Madrid was really on fire in this match, I expected them to win but I never expected them to win with that numbers of goals, I believe Real Madrid is back to there old form, Barcelona should be very careful so they won't lose the trophy this season, I trust Real Madrid coach and thank God they didn't sack him, Real Madrid president is not a patient man and is very bad, people needs to be patient, I knew what the coach needed was more time, they did very well today and they surprised everyone one good performance from Real Madrid today.

Madrid was at their top tier performance on this particular game, they had all the dominance and possession, it felt like their opponents could not wait for the  game to end already because  their humiliation was growing by the minutes, this is one of those few games that has given Madrid some more goals this season, to their advantage, if the need arises the goals will be something Madrid can capitalise upon.

It's been a while since I have seen Madrid perform like this, they really outdid themselves, scoring 5 goals was the best record they have had this season. real bets scored one goal but it felt like nothing because they were just running round the pitch doing absolutely nothing. Just like I pointed out before real bets is not the same team their used to be in previous seasons, they performance is poor
