La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Barcelona have lost 2 times in La Liga. And that was against Osasuna and Sociedad, who are currently ranked 5th and 7th in the standings. This means that Barcelona can be defeated by a mid-table team or at least another top 10 team. On the other hand, Real Madrid only got 1 defeat and that was against Barcelona. This means that Real Madrid can only be defeated by a team of the same level. Maybe only Atletico Madrid also has a chance to be a challenge for Real Madrid. So I still choose Real Madrid to win La Liga this season.

The statistical sample on which you base your argument is almost nil. Although I doubt you understand what I am saying. You could have said that you choose Madrid as the league winner this year because you like them better and it would have the same force of argument as what you said before.

If Real Madrid can win their 13th match in La Liga they will have 30 points but Real Madrid will still be behind Barcelona in the points table. Because Barcelona are already at the top of the points table, even they have won more matches than Real Madrid. There is no doubt that Barcelona is far ahead of Real Madrid in terms of performance in La Liga this season.

Real Madrid still have one game in hand, The possibility of winning the match is very big because Valencia is not in their best form this season. Barcelona will certainly feel a little pressured with the increasingly close points gap with their rivals, but on the other hand, the pressure from Real Madrid can make Barcelona players even more enthusiastic to achieve maximum results in order to secure the top of the standings.

Barcelona performance under Hansi Flick has been increasingly impressive, winning the El Clasico match indicates that they will try to provide more competitive competition in the title race. This season Real Madrid must work hard to retain the title, if they do not immediately return to their best form, it is very likely that Barcelona will win the trophy hunt.

I see Bellingham as a more important player than any other Real Madrid player. Last season, Bellingham flew high with Real Madrid, constantly "rescuing" the team, scoring 23 goals and 12 assists, contributing greatly to the double of La Liga and Champions League titles. But Bellingham has yet to find his true form at Real Madrid this season, having to play in a different role due to the arrival of Mbappe. He was the player most affected when the French striker arrived at the Bernabeu. Kylian Mbappe is too lazy to run, and Jude Bellingham is doing too many tasks. Carlo Ancelotti needs to solve the balance problem at Real Madrid.

And this is one of the hottest transfer live news:

Source: Rodri would prefer to join Barcelona over Real Madrid

I‘m surprised to l hear about this transfer news. Rodri is the engine of Pep Guardiola’s team, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to let him go. Rodri is the best defensive midfielder in the world right now, Real Madrid is also a world class and an elite club that constantly attracts the best players in the world. However I feel Rodri is not the perfect fit for Real Madrid because of his age, he may struggle to keep up with the intensity of Madrid's playing style and the constant pressure to perform at the highest level. Also if Rodri moves to Real Madrid, he would have to play alongside Vinicius Jr, who was his competitor for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. I don’t think the locker room would be very welcoming to Rodri, so it make perfect sense that he would prefer to move to Barcelona.   

In fact, news about Real Madrid's interest in bringing in Rodri in the coming season has been widely reported several months ago. And of course Manchester City is also rumored to be trying to keep Rodri. But the decision will always be in Rodri's hands. And it seems that Rodri also doesn't rule out the possibility of him going back to one of the Laliga clubs, especially Real Madrid. And we know that for Rodri Laliga is like his hometown. Because most of his career was spent there. He defended Villareal for quite a long time starting from Villareal B and continuing to this team Villareal and then moving to Atletico Madrid until finally moving to Manchester City. So I wouldn't be surprised if Rodri returned to Laliga. But to be honest, I also prefer Rodri to choose Barcelona over Real Madrid. because it seems that competition between the players at the Real Madrid club cannot be avoided. there were Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. And I think putting it all together doesn't look so good.

So I'm happy if Rodri chooses Barcelona in the end. But I'm sure Rodri will stay at Manchester City for quite a long time. The contract is still long, namely until 2027.

You have to remember they have a player injury problem. So Real Madrid does not have a choice of players in the best position. Another mistake is that Ancelotti did not think Kros' departure had an extraordinary effect. They did not make the summer transfer effective. So they must immediately get players to improve Real Madrid's weaknesses. The problem of winning the point difference with Barcelona is still in the stage to be pursued. There will still be many matches and there will still be Barcelona losing points

Rodri is the best defensive midfielder in the world right now, Real Madrid is also a world class and an elite club that constantly attracts the best players in the world.

Yes of course, this season, Man City's condition is already quite tough. and next season, it will also be a much bigger challenge for Man City. not only because some players are rumored to be leaving, but also their head coach, Pep Guardiola who is said not to be extending his contract at Man City when his contract expires in June 2025. And what's worse, several top Man City players are rumored to be leaving, one of them is Rodri.

The race to get Rodri and several other top players to strengthen the squad is happening in the top clubs of La Liga, especially Barcelona and Real Madrid. Yes, because this happened because Rodri's ability is unquestionable, but on the other hand, there are some unpleasant things related to Real Madrid and Rodri at the time of his association with it, namely the Baloon d'Or which was quite controversial at that time and it was really different. ...

It is also possible that Real Madrid are only focused on bringing in attacking players so they are not preparing players for the position left by Kross. Or maybe, because there is still Modric, maybe Ancelotti also thinks Real Madrid's midfield is still safe, but the reality is that so far this season Real Madrid  has struggled to get good results in every match. But when it comes to the complete players that Real Madrid has, then I think Real Madrid can still get good results, because basically they have players with great talent. Thus, Real Madrid may feel no need to buy many players, because they have also  managed to bring Mbappe.

Previously we hoped that the arrival of mbappe would have a significant impact on madrid's performance, but instead we saw them far from good and great this season, injuries players and also the retirement of kroos have made madrid much worse and have difficulty competing in la liga and also the UCL, on the other hand, I think hansi flick has managed to use madrid slump to their advantage in the league, so I think the chances of them to be championship this season are very high if madrid can't restore their form and consistency with quickly, I think, ancelotti needs to find a solution soon maybe with bringing in new players in the january transfer window later and I hope that it's not too late for them.

So I still choose Real Madrid to win La Liga this season.

Barcelona defeat really shocked me because with the way they started the season they performed excellently to the extent that no one thought of their defeating them but it come out as a surprise, Sociedad really surprised me more because since when the came back from international break they tend to be a monster destroying the top two teams which we all know their strength and the quality of players they have, and Real Madrid are behind them with three points different if they manage to win their outstanding match, but let see how the teams will perform after this current break.

After Tony Kroos left, Real Madrid has a big gap in their midfield. There is no creative midfielder with the playmaking ability like Kroos. They really miss someone who can create chances in various situations. Currently Madrid can only rely on playing from the wing that makes penetration. I hope they can find a midfielder with good playmaking ability to provide a lot of balls to their attackers.

Upto this moment real madrid are still messing Toni Kroos, it really show that Toni Kroos is a legend, his gap hasn't been fill upto this moment, Ancelotti have to try by all means to get a quality young midfielder who can take the place of Toni Kroos to make them enjoy the rest of the season.

It seems that Ancelotti must bring in or borrow new players in the January transfer market, especially defenders, to maintain the opportunity to retain the trophy this season. It would be very risky if Real Madrid continued to use the available players until the end of the season, while hoping that a number of injured players would recover in time. A player like Alaba who has missed 60 matches certainly needs time to adapt when returning to join the team, so it is very logical for Los Blancos to move in the winter transfer market next.
As for Mbappe, his integration into the team seems to take longer than we expected, and I think that is not too surprising. Clearly, Ancelotti should have found a solution to improve Real Madrid performance in the future.

Absolutely right Manchester city will not let Rodri go. He is one the key player of Pep team he will never let him to go for others clubs. As far as I know, Rodri will stay longer at Manchester City because Pep has said that he wants more extension with Manchester City as coach. So if Pep stays by himself and Manchester City don't sack him, I can say with certainty that pep will not let him go. He will keep Rodri as part of his team. Apart from Madrid, Barcelona has also shown interest in signing Rodri. On the other hand, Rodri prefers Barcelona. As for now, he wants to stay in Manchester City. If the bill were to go to Spain, then Barcelona is the best place for me. Now in fact there are financial critics of Barcelona and they will not be able to buy Rodri despite Real Madrid having strong enough money they can sign him very easily.

I almost thought for some second you have Real Madrid players username on your Bitcointalk profile until in check again and saw Luzin, thought it was Lunin.
Real Madrid remain one of the luckiest players in the history of football, I can see a lot of people are judging them because of the injuries and Anceloti refusal to sign players but they didn't last season but did well except for Bellingham inclusion to the team, it was the same season they won three trophy without having much problems like now.

Anceloti has decided on what to do next, he said the defensive players are the real problem of the team which he promised to fix soon. If the defensive becomes stronger than what we are seeing now, perhaps there is going to be some improvement and beside, we have two young players that join Real Madrid this season, he better make use of them so people don't have to blame him every now and then.

Toni Kroos retirement is Real Madrid biggest loss this season, he plays a vital role in maintaining the depth of the game. Player transitions have not gone as expected, and injury problems have caused Real Madrid to experience a decline in performance at this time. But after the international break, Ancelotti has the opportunity to improve the situation, along with the availability of injured players. The points difference with Barcelona is relatively small, there is hope to catch up in the next 26 matches.

I think Ancelotti is planning to bring in new players in the January transfer market, especially for the right-back position after Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez were injured. Rotation options in Real Madrid back line are now increasingly minimal, young players who have just been promoted may not be a good solution to maintain the opportunity to repeat the success of last season.

Sure Pep won't let Rodri, Foden, KDB leave Manchester City they are  very valuable to him, it's beign a while I've seen AKE played or is it just because I've not been following up...
Thus, even if Rodri will be leaving Mancity, I still doubt Barcelona will get him( I might be wring though) unless he will be settling for a lesser pay because his pay might be high and I still doubt if Barcelona will be free of any financial iss.. until their stadium is completed  yet Laporta could be obsessed with the signing as he loves world class players

The difference in points between Real Madrid and Barcelona is not a big problem because the journey of this season is still very long.

Barcelona's defeat to Sociedad was indeed a bit surprising because Barcelona, ​​who were in top form, failed to win the match, but if we look at Barcelona's performance in the match, I think they still played well, it's just that in that match they were unlucky.

For Real Madrid who are currently trying to rise from their slump, I think they only need to focus on improving their performance, what happened to Barcelona has nothing to do with Real Madrid and I think Barcelona's progress this season has motivated Real Madrid to be better in order to defend the title.

I agree with this, the gap is only 6 points right now with Real missing one game, meaning it could be three points and we could see that change very quickly. So that is why the gap isn't a big one yet. People see Barcelona as "clear favourites" right now because they are not really understanding how Barcelona who beat Real Madrid 4-0 could end up losing the league, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up seeing every game to be like that at all.

Same Barcelona that ended up beating Real Madrid 4-0, ended up losing to real sociedad on their very last game for example, which should be a proof that nothing is certain in football and anything could happen. We need to remember that if Barcelona wants to win the league then they have to end up winning those kind of games. I still think that real has a chance, it's a very tough one with how many players they are missing at the moment but they still have a slim chance to win the league for sure.

The facts are like that, on average, the favorites for Real Madrid to defend their title this season are Real Madrid fans. While others may have to think twice before saying, this is also because they know that Real Madrid has not won the La Liga title in two consecutive seasons in more than 15 seasons. I don't know exactly in what season Real Madrid won two La Liga titles in two consecutive seasons without looking at the data, I think it was quite a long time before some of these people became diehard fans.

Real Madrid is well-known to be one of the best club in European football with having the best stats. Although they've missed out on most of their key players. We're talking about players like Marcelo, Karim Benzema and now Toni Kroos. This is no good news for the club. Toni Kroos retired from professional football and Real Madrid are yet to discover a rare talented midfielder like Kroos. The German presence is felt in the club especially its affecting the game strategy of Carlo Ancelotti. This is weigh out of line if you ask me, the coach just trying hard to mixed up the midfield with new faces and we do know how that play down.

[aylabadia05]

I see Bellingham as a more important player than any other Real Madrid player. Last season, Bellingham flew high with Real Madrid, constantly "rescuing" the team, scoring 23 goals and 12 assists, contributing greatly to the double of La Liga and Champions League titles. But Bellingham has yet to find his true form at Real Madrid this season, having to play in a different role due to the arrival of Mbappe. He was the player most affected when the French striker arrived at the Bernabeu. Kylian Mbappe is too lazy to run, and Jude Bellingham is doing too many tasks. Carlo Ancelotti needs to solve the balance problem at Real Madrid.

I think this will be one of the worst seasons for Real Madrid when they are strengthened by a lot of quality players who have star status. Kylian Mbappe is a prolific striker, but he has not yet found his best form, his number of goals and contributions are still too low compared to most people's expectations. Vinicius and Bellingham are the two key players who are most needed, but sometimes their performance doesn't really have an impact on the final result when Real Madrid already has a reliable center forward in their squad.

It is hoped that the change in strategy will help Real Madrid improve this season, but I am starting to think that Real Madrid will have a very difficult time defending their title. Barcelona on the other hand has proven that they are better, of course because of the points they have earned and the goal productivity they have had so far. Barcelona has been impressive with 2 defeats in 13 matches, but many people hope that Barcelona will change and Real Madrid will improve.

Having a star-studded squad does not guarantee that everything will be according to expectations, what happened with Real Madrid current performance is a very realistic example. The addition of Mbappe to the squad requires Ancelotti to overhaul the existing strategy. The storm of injuries that hit a number of defenders has also hampered Real Madrid's progress, Ancelotti task this season feels harder than before. Real Madrid unstable performance is certainly an advantage for Barcelona, ​​and Hansi Flick team has taken advantage of it very well.

Many feel that Real Madrid should recruit new players in the January transfer market, but that is still a long time away. Now Ancelotti has to think about how they will miss a number of matches until the end of December with the players available. That is quite a tough task, his experience and composure in facing difficult periods will be tested again.

The difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is still 6 points, so the difference is not that big. If Real Madrid can maintain their consistency and perform well, it may be possible for Real Madrid to occupy this position. However, we have seen that Barcelona has already lost to Real Sociedad in the last match, so if they cannot play according to their performance in the next matches and lose, then this is another opportunity for Real Madrid. Moreover, since Real Madrid's players are still injured and will have to rest for a long time before they enter the field, if they can maintain their consistency and win or lose, it may be possible. However, I see that Atletico Madrid is improving their performance to compete with Real Madrid in the points table, the difference between the teams is only 1 point, so Atletico Madrid will try to avoid Real Madrid.  Since the championship race has not yet entered the second half, every team will definitely compete once it enters the second half.

That's because Real Madrid has not played one match so the points difference is six from Barcelona and the defeat against Real Sociedad may be repeated for Barcelona so that Real Madrid can catch up on the points.
It is difficult to maintain consistency in La Liga and perhaps Barcelona and Real Madrid will have problems maintaining it and in the next match will lose consistency which makes them lose full points in the match.

The competition may be much more interesting when both collect the same points so that the tension of the competition will increase.
Real Madrid also needs to increase motivation because so far they have not played as one of the big teams.
