La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Franctoshi]

Madrid are not completely in a slump because they are still in the top ranks and Carlo can still restore Madrid's performance if he finds the right tactics with the current players, Mbappe is not completely bad he can create important goals when needed Bellingham can also add a goal in this match so they can work together from now on for their clubs.

I'm not sure if Real Madrid has something to bring to the table any more. Today, Mbape improves and the following day, he used his hand to destroy the past and the future. Who is in that club that can do what Vinicious can do for that club right now, Rodrigo as alternative is out due to injuries and Vinicious is our for the next 2 weeks, that means they will suffer another 2 weeks of defeat, that means they wouldn't be able to proceed to the next step.

Barcelona is facing some challenges but they aren't as worse like the way Real Madrid is right now and as long as they have Raphina and Lewandowski as their forward, they have every chance of winning their next match, that's the difference between them and Real Madrid. This is the only chance they have right now to over take Barcelona but with what they have played against Liverpool, I'm not sure they can deliver anything for that club this season.

I don't really want to comment much about Mbappe situation in Madrid until he must have stayed in the team for a complelete season , he was brought in to the club to help the team and secondly, because of this kind of injury situation on key Madrid players, If he is very active like the way he used to be before, Madrid wouldn't feel the absence of Rodrigo and Vinicious much whenever they're not in form or out for injury or whatsoever reason that may keep them out of the pitch.

I think something is fundamentally wrong with Mbappé's performance since he came to the Madrid, the lack of consistency, low goals scored and weak offensive strategy have grown to be worse for a team who brought him with hundreds of millions of bucks to pull him to the team. Since he came in, the chemistry between the Madrid players have only reduced and Mbappé have been particularly disconnected with the entire team as seen on the viral footage showing the mannerin which the other players treated him with Bellingham ignoring him in the tunnel yesterday.

I think mbappe failed to meet most people's expectations, I don't know what went wrong when ancelotti gave him a place that fits his position, mbappe is no better than vini jr and doesn't even seem to help his team's defense much, maybe he was too spoiled at PSG so he didn't want to work harder. I wonder if mbappe will have the same fate as kaka and hazard failed to shine with madrid.

On one hand, Santiago Bernabeu is a place to realize dreams, and on the other hand, in the same place, many dreams are buried. There are a number of star players who have faded after moving to Real Madrid, for various reasons, they failed to meet expectations. Mbappe is the latest case, since being brought in from PSG, the French international player has not been able to carry out his duties properly. It is possible that he will suffer the same fate as Kaka or Hazard, but in my opinion Mbappe still has many opportunities to prove everything. However, if his adaptation process continues to slow down, and Mbappe fails to be the difference in important matches, maybe the pressure he will receive will frustrate him.

By the way Atletico Madrid are doing quite well in the league these days. They are technically in the title competition at the same time. But honestly their job at keeping it up won't be easy. However this would be enough for Simeone's work to satisfy the board without doubt.    It really feels different to see him keeping his job since 2011. We are talking about 13 years...

I wonder whether Simeone ever gets bored.    Because it has been such a long time with great memories. There have been some rumours like he would leave soon but I believe they have no reality. I don't expect it to happen.

This is not entirely Ancelotti's fault, but also Mbappe's own fault who has not developed in every match. When Vini was there, maybe he had difficulty adapting to his new position, but when playing against Liverpool, his position was already in his original position, namely the Lw position, but what happened was that his performance also did not develop. Playing 90 minutes as Lw, only releasing 2 shots, no penalties, losing the ball 15 times, it was all his own fault and I think Mbappe is no longer confident.

If we look back, Mbappe's performance has actually declined since strengthening the national team at Euro 2024. We can see from the start of finishing, his performance has decreased very disappointingly, at the Euro he was only able to score one goal via penalty. His performance at PSG also declined before he went to Real Madrid.

However, even so, considering Mbappe's young age, I don't think he will be like Kaka and Hazard who failed to shine with Madrid. He will shine, it just takes time and maybe with a new coach who can raise Mbappe's spirit and can utilize his potential. In addition, Kaka and Hazard did not shine at Real Madrid because they were often injured, this is different from Mbappe who had a lot of playing time. Let's see what other strategies Ancelotti will use later against Getafe this week, whether Ancelotti can win after what happened against Liverpool yesterday.

[SquallLeonhart]

Everyone can speculate based on the facts on the field, but if you look at Real Madrid's current performance, it feels like Barcelona will be one of the strong candidates to win the title this season. But the journey is still quite long and there are many matches to go through before the season ends. This is where consistency is needed for Barcelona in maintaining victory and slowly they can make points with Real Madrid further apart. The problem is that the difference in points for both of them is not that far apart so that when Real Madrid's performance improves again, Barcelona must also appear consistent.

Mbappe has not shown a great striker class because he still shows many weaknesses so that Real Madrid does not get the benefits after recruiting him from PSG and maybe this is what needs to be fixed so that Real Madrid can play more consistently again.

While that seems like true, we see a four point gap between the clubs and Real Madrid has one missing game, so the gap could be as low as one point after that game. So while Real Madrid looks terrible at UCL, and they have barely enough points to be even in top 24 after 5th week, which is a shameful result for a club of Real Madrid's stature, we could easily say that there isn't that much problem with La Liga at the moment.

I believe they are going to do fine there, could even win the league when their injured players return. Look at how much improvement they had with Courtois returning, they have one of the greatest goalkeepers in the world, while they did lose to Liverpool, he saved so many shots from being certain goal if it was some other goalkeeper.

In the end, there will be more players returning from injury, if one player returning made this much difference for them, with more and more, they are going to get a lot more benefit and could do great at La Liga. Barcelona can't keep winning every game, eventually they will lose points somewhere and when they do, Real Madrid will be right there to cover that difference and get to the top position, I believe they still have a chance.

I don't really want to comment much about Mbappe situation in Madrid until he must have stayed in the team for a complelete season , he was brought in to the club to help the team and secondly, because of this kind of injury situation on key Madrid players, If he is very active like the way he used to be before, Madrid wouldn't feel the absence of Rodrigo and Vinicious much whenever they're not in form or out for injury or whatsoever reason that may keep them out of the pitch.

It is true that Real Madrid signed Mbappe to improve their attacking line. In fact, Mbappe make the attacking line be worse. With the absence of Vini and Rodrygo, Ancelotti must feel big impacts. Mbappe couldn't play well although he is positioned as a left winger. It is clear that Mbappe's performance is very much declining since he joined Real Madrid. I don't know what Ancelotti can do with the current condition of Mbappe and many injured players of Real Madrid players, especially on the attacking line. Sure, Mbappe will stay in Real Madrid until the end of the season. However, if Mabppe never improves his performance, it is not impossible if Real Madrid finally decides to put him on the transfer plan. It is better to try signing a real CF like Viktor Gyökeres than keeping Mbappe for a more season.

Undoubtedly Yamal is very good and is a key piece for Barcelona, ??for that reason they should take good care of him, what they have in their favor is that he is young and that is a big plus, also because the good moment that he is having helps him a lot, but they can't be dependent on a player like that because the same thing happens to them as to Madrid, they have so many players that if they are missing just one star they start to collapse and they show it on the court, when they tie or lose, that is the only bad thing about depending too much on these players who are so good.

That's true, mate!
Yamal Jamal is now the key component of the team factor. Indeed, having it is a source of pride for the team. You guys must have also observed that when Yamal Jamal got injured, there was a little bit of a decline in Barcelona's performance, like because of Yamal Jamal, there was a lot of lack in the right wing. Hansi Flick tried his best to maintain the right wing from the rest of the players, but he could not do it. Kounda and Yamal Jamal's understanding is also good. Gives enough support to the bull back. Whenever Kounda starts a run on the right overlap, Yamal makes way for support...
 
However, there is no more waiting for Yamal Jamal, he will soon be included in the team sheet of Barcelona. I hope Hansi Flick will prepare Yamal Jamal for next La liga match. We can see a lot of superiority in the match.

There is no any reason to justify Mbape move to Real Madrid, they are just been greedy and wanted everything unto their cycle and I guess this particular deal is one the worst deal they have had since the time they signed Hazard, there is absolutely nothing difference between this Mbape and Hazard, they both had a peak in their carrier before Real Madrid, one slipped away with injury and one is playing nothing which is Mbape in this scenario.

They thought he is someone they can convert must like they did with Ronaldo, he was a midfielder, a winger and a striker, Ronaldo is everything anyone can think in football but you see Mbape, he is what PSG thinks and I'm glad they fired him and treated him badly. It's just sad that Real Madrid is experiencing this after a big season last year and I'm not sure they are going to be lucky this time, I don't buy all the sweet talks Carlo has been feeding the media, they are really bad this season.

I think Mbappe was too hyped when he came to the club new, and now he failed to perform as expected. I don’t really know what's wrong with Mbappe because anytime we expect him to do well, he won’t do that, and Ancelloti really needs to do something about this because it's affecting the team's performance. It's not obvious, like last season. I think Ancelloti should use Vini Jr., who is better in that position, because I think Ancelloti thinks Mbappe is better in that position, as you said.

Exactly, but he is doing the opposite. We all know that it is too early to start complaining about the performance of Mbappé, but what he is doing in Real Madrid is totally not encouraging. Just look at his performance in the game that they played against Liverpool yesterday in the Champions League; the most painful part is the penalty that he lost. We all know that many bigger and more talented players also lose penalties, but the one of Mbappé yesterday the goalkeeper even saved. It is not encouraging at all, but at least let's see what he will be able to project in the future. I still have a bit of hope on him.

[KTChampions]

It seems Barcelona is just struggling like Real Madrid. The gap in Barcelona's odds to the Real Madrid is very thin. It was only 1 point gap (with the assumption RM won 1 unplayed match). It seems we're going to see a very strict competition like last season.

I was really disappointed when Barcelona was just leading the league with huge gap. I happy to see they had missed lots of points in their previous games.

The flippenning in the first position is possibly to happen at the mid season. The problem is Madrid missed lots of its key players. They will so struggle to get three points in their upcoming games.

The. outright gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is also very small.

The game in Real's pocket is the game against Valencia, it's hard not to win.
Real Madrid are indeed suffering from an injury epidemic (but Barcelona also had problems with Olmo, Yamal) but you can look at it positively: if Real Madrid are only one point behind Barcelona when things are going really badly for them, then when things get better (if haha) Real Madrid will be unstoppable.

Mabppe seems unable to adjust his playing style because until now he has found it so difficult to maintain his best performance to continue scoring goal, even last night's match when Real madrid faced Liverpool where Mbappe did not show his best quality. It is true that Vini's absence has a quite heavy impact on Real madrid because we know that Vini can put a lot of pressure on the opponent's defense if he is on the field.

Of course, Ancelotti must be able to adjust a better strategy when Vini and Rodrygo are absent because these two players are very influential in Real Madrid front line. But in La Liga, Real Madrid chances are quite large to reduce the points gap from Barcelona, ​​and I am sure the competition between the two will be more interesting every week.

I don’t think Kylian Mbappe was overhyped, we all saw Mbappe’s performance in France and PSG. He’s a incredible player and was worth the money. It’s been challenging for Mbappe to adapt to La Liga, he has not been playing in his preferred position because Vinicius Junior plays that position. Vini is out now due to injury, I think this is an opportunity for for Mbappe to step up and prove himself to the fans that he is more than just hype.

[Amphenomenon]

I think this is the best time for Kylian Mbappe to get the spotlight especially now that Vinicius Junior is injured,he has the left wing for himself now but failed to get the best of it, including missing a penalty in their chanpuons league game against Liverpool yesterday.

Although I think he needs to calm his nerves down and ignore the press media and rather just enjoy his game like before proving why he is still among the very best in the world. I think he should just continue the nine even in Vinicius absence in order to get used to it and not finding it difficult to get back to that position once Vinicius returns. Although this will only occur if they have someone to play the left wing. I hope Real Madrid can win against Getafe in their coming match this weekend.

[Leviathan.007]

Regardless of the result Real Madrid got so far during this season they had many injured players and in many important games, they had some injured players.
Even in the games against Liverpool, Camavinga the player from Real Madrid got injured and he couldn't continue the game.
Filling the place of the player like won't be easy for Ancelotti and now it seems Camavinga is going to stay out for some a few games.
There is not any confirmed information about this player yet but it seems to be a hamstring injury.

This is not about thinking Mate: the way a lot of people was given Mbappé  hyped the first time he was singing it they very obvious, but since him also complain that him didn’t understand the rest of the players that is the some team with him that’s why him performing looks so down on the people eyes, I know their coach will soon find solutions for his situation and know how it can put him right path to make the team’s performances stay steady.

[len01]

Despite their unexpected surprise defeat, Barcelona is still one of the favorites to win the Spanish league. They continue to compete with Real Madrid to become the champions of the Spanish league, but they are much higher than Real Madrid in the Champions League. Real Madrid is experiencing an unexpected and bad Champions League experience. They also lost to Liverpool yesterday. If it continues like this, Ancelotti will be criticized a lot about this.

In La Liga and in UCL, Madrid still has a big chance to compete with Barcelona. In La Liga there is only a 4 point difference and in UCL, Madrid only needs to stay in the top 24 to continue its position in the play off round.
When the transfer market opened, Madrid was able to change a bad situation into a better one and Ancelotti did not need to get the criticism because his achievements had been recognized before.
Madrid condition is not too bad but only needs injured players to recover and get new players to replace injured players who have a longer recovery period.

After the fifth match, Real Madrid is in 24th place. I don't think anyone would have expected this. Liverpool, on the other hand, has taken the lead. Real Madrid's next match will be against the last UEL champion Atalanta in Italy. Although they seem to be the favorites against Atalanta, we see that no match in the Champions League has a definite result. If Atalanta wins this match in Italy with the support of its fans, it means that the alarm bells will ring for Real Madrid. Because there are only three matches left in the Champions League, where a total of eight matches will be played. Just think about a Real Madrid that cannot make it into the top 24 teams. What a huge disappointment that would be.

After the poor performance in yesterday's match, I will not worry about the next result because the opponent that Madrid will face is not a strong team and on the one hand the injured players have been able to return to play like Vinic and Rodrygo. So we don't need to worry anymore in the rest of the match because I guarantee Madrid will succeed in getting full points in the rest of the match. We can see it in the La Liga match later if the performance looks stable, to return to performing strongly in the UCL is very easy for Madrid to achieve and Ancelotti will be responsible for all the squad's performance.

[TelolettOm]

By the way Atletico Madrid are doing quite well in the league these days. They are technically in the title competition at the same time. But honestly their job at keeping it up won't be easy. However this would be enough for Simeone's work to satisfy the board without doubt.    It really feels different to see him keeping his job since 2011. We are talking about 13 years...

I agree, indeed at the beginning of the season, Atletico Madrid started the season not so well, not bad, just not so optimal with various draws experienced. But lately, their performance has started to be quite good again, with consecutive wins in the last 3 La Liga matches and 2 UCL matches. That makes Atletico Madrid more solid in the top 3 and enter the UCL play-offs, although not very good.

...Camavinga the player from Real Madrid got injured and he couldn't continue the game.
Filling the place of the player like won't be easy for Ancelotti and now it seems Camavinga is going to stay out for some a few games.
There is not any confirmed information about this player yet but it seems to be a hamstring injury.

Real Madrid are really unlucky this season, they seem to be cursed with injuries to their main players. Starting from the worsening condition of their back line due to injuries, and now the injuries are spreading to the midfield area, and this is added to by Camavinga.

[TopT3ns]

I don't really want to comment much about Mbappe situation in Madrid until he must have stayed in the team for a complelete season , he was brought in to the club to help the team and secondly, because of this kind of injury situation on key Madrid players, If he is very active like the way he used to be before, Madrid wouldn't feel the absence of Rodrigo and Vinicious much whenever they're not in form or out for injury or whatsoever reason that may keep them out of the pitch.

The context which Mbappé encountered in Madrid certainly does demand collective backup, from the side of the club, partners, and spectators. To the team, it is believed that with a talent like Mbappé, there should be a great boost wherever some major players are unable to play. That is why continuity of the game and the creation of new possibilities of actions on the field are universally crucial aspects of the adaptation with the team. This effect will be even more noticeable if all the members of the team can reinforce first and complement each other to initiate the best outcome.

In any such circumstances, the main focus is furthered by cooperation as the main key towards surmounting existing hurdles. The backing given to the players especially during the time they encounter much pressure is of much importance. Mbappé can certainly be an endurance solution, not just as a body just to occupy a vacant position but as key which will enhance the improvement of the team with time. We all wish he can handle this and bring the kind of difference that Madrid is hoping for both in the Spanish league and other competitions.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

In the end, there will be more players returning from injury, if one player returning made this much difference for them, with more and more, they are going to get a lot more benefit and could do great at La Liga. Barcelona can't keep winning every game, eventually they will lose points somewhere and when they do, Real Madrid will be right there to cover that difference and get to the top position, I believe they still have a chance.

It's been a tough season for Real Madrid and they missed their best chance after getting some players injured. The defeats against strong teams made most people speculate that Real Madrid will struggle to defend the title, especially in the Champions League. But when it comes to La Liga maybe you are right because there are still many opportunities for them to bounce back after some of their players have recovered from injuries. Now they just need to concentrate and they can't lose in La Liga so the points gap with Barcelona won't be too far, Real Madrid's performance this season is very different because even though they managed to recruit Mbappe, they haven't been able to give their best.
