La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Kristiyana]

From all angles I think some people needs to apologize to Mbappe for disrespecting him when he was finding it difficult to adapt to the pattern of Real Madrid, gradually Mbappe is having some crazy goal numbers in his first season with Real Madrid more than some players that we thought was going to even be better than him this season. I understand that some people will still want Real Madrid to win the league or champions league before they can applude the young star but generally I think Mbappe is paying his dues already and tonight game against Villarreal where he got a brace to help them come back to win the game can not utter any word but I think he deserves to be respected because the guy is good.

They're supposed to know that is always very difficult for one to easily adapt more especially when you're still new in the club, of course it takes some time before one can still adapt with their pattern of play. But is obvious that most of this fans don't always think about this fact before jumping into conclusion, though that's how fans behave most times. But now that he finally got used to that there pattern I'm pretty sure that those folks who have been disrespecting him from the early stage is now happy to see him  in such a brilliant performance.

[$crypto$]

Mbappe started to be criticized by people very early. He recovered tremendously in the last 2 months and now he has no problems with finishing. He finished both goals masterfully today. Now Mbappe is the top scorer in the league. In today's match, there was a tired Real Madrid, they fell behind and came back quickly and then continued the match in economy mode. It was very normal for them to be so tired after the Atletico Madrid match.

It's natural because citizens always demand that Mbappe is good at the start because he's a star player with a high market value (even though Real Madrid got him for free) it's still a high salary so that's what they expect. But maybe now they have been silenced by Mbappe's performance now.
Likely to become LaLiga's top scorer beating Lewandowski this season for the first time.

Kylian Mbappe would be a joke if he says that he never expected that type of reaction. This is football and top players like him self should at all times coat themselves with a very tough skin, no one especially rivals want to listen to the excuse that you are still new in the league, with so much skills and talent come so much expectations and that was Kylian Mbappe situation.
I am glad that phase is behind him now and all he has to do is focus on being consistent and try as much as possible to leave a legendary status in real Madrid and football at large.

@BIT-BENDER, I understand that Mbappe is a star player and he also expected all the reactions that was coming his way when he wasn't performing well but I feel he was almost being bullied with the way the fans and media houses were analyzing his poor performances not minding what was happening to him at that moment. Mbappe is a good player which we all know I was expecting fans to have had patience with him but no they were expecting him to turn things around in Real Madrid when he gets there that was why they became disappointed when he wasn't performing well.
Mbappe has proven himself and I expect those who said funny things about him to apologize to him because he's currently on fire.

You are right about Real Madrid's enthusiasm to win this match considering Barcelona will face Atletico.

Something tells me that Barcelona will win the game against Madrid tomorrow. They know what is at stake and will make sure to take it seriously even though they are the away team.

It is not certain that Barcelona can beat Atletico even if you have something that makes you believe in Barcelona winning over Atletico.
What is at stake for Barcelona is probably the league position. Atletico also has the same thing at stake especially Atletico is playing as the home team.
Atletico has a good H2H against Barcelona, ​​plus the result Atletico received in the UCL in the round of 16 which had to be eliminated painfully.

Am part of those that actually owe mbappe an apology because we actually did him wrong by saying a lot of things just because he was taking is time to adjust and Mbappe is now one of the top players in Madrid but at first i won't even lie he was not doing very well but now there is no game that Mbappe does not score this shows that he was preparing him self does times and it actually worked because his play is so organized.

And Vinicius was suppose to work hand in hand with Mbappe but you won't be able to tell exactly what is happening, and m alle is currently doing better than him and I don't even want to argue about what is currently going on. And if its in the case of fans Madrid have a lot of fans i won't even lie because mbappe have his own fans and people are looking up to him to actually be the one to take over Ronaldo and even be better than Benzima  and to be sincere Madrid have built excellent players and I actually do love it. And they will continue to build more players because they have the resources to actually do so.

Yea you are right alot of people that time where really getting mad at Mbappe those season were he was the deforming and couldn't preformed those moments
But i gusse him is one of the top player now it so good to see him back on his right scening, this show that sometime a player need to settle in and once they are done thier truth quality shine and gusse with this now Real Madrid have really made him a gem.

 Right from the hands of time Real Madrid has really developed thier young talent and attacking top tier talented right now Mbappe is really shining out there while but Mal is aslo also stepping up in a big way to
All the Real Madrid fans wants Mbappe to carry out the torch post Ronaldo.

Real Madrid won 1-2 against Villarreal and they are leading the La Liga standings with a 3-point advantage over Barcelona. Kylian Mbappe scored 2 goals in the match, but Villarreal really tried to win the points. Villarreal played well in the second half and they really pressed Real Madrid's defense well, but their ineffective finishing made them lose despite dominating the attack.

Yep. It is good that Real Madrid could beat Villareal. This makes Real Madrid to lead the La Liga table temporarily. I'm very satisfied with the performance of Mbappe although I think Real Madrid played not very well. Real Madrid only made 9 shots, meanwhile Villareal made 23 shots. It means Villareal playing more offensive in the match. It is not good if Real Madrid to use the defensive tactic like this if they are facing big teams. The best way to defend the leading is to attack the opponent.

Barcelona have a tough game against Atletico Madrid, but I don't think it's time to doubt their consistency. Barcelona have been really strong lately and they're doing it perfectly, but anything can happen. I expect a win for Barcelona and to take back the top of the table from Real Madrid, that's a must.

True, it will be a big match and a difficult match for both teams. Atletico Madrid will have the advantage, they will play at home. However, Barcelona looks better if we consider the stats of the results in the last 5 matches. It is not easy to predict the result of the match, but I think Atletico Madrid looks to have a higher chance.

A lot of football journalist especially the Spanish based sports reporters who heavily criticized Kylian Mbappe actually needs to apologize to him for the hurtful criticisms they unleashed on the France international when he was still trying to adapt to life in Spain. I was telling a friend today that class in football is permanent and no matter how long it takes, a good footballer will always show his true class which is what Kylian Mbappe is currently doing at Real Madrid. With his two goals today against Villarreal, Kylian Mbappe is now just three goals behind Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski in the league goalscoring chart. I think he has all it takes to win the Spanish golden boot this season.

Well if anyone actually criticize him then you won't blame them for doing so, I mean their is always healthy criticism to help you boost your confidence and also improve your game and besides he is not the first big name that came to Real Madrid and actually flopped and play nothing until he retired although his case was also tied to injuries that he regularly sustained, don't know if you know who am talking about though and I would leave you to guess the player too.

Initial expectations that seemed forced into a situation where criticism that was actually not very grounded was always received by Mbappe at the beginning of the season even though in the end we must realize that when we are at a new club, it is quite natural when there is a re-adaptation for players including Mbappe but not a few observers or football lovers are more focused on his poor performance just because the benchmark is that he had difficulty scoring goals at the beginning of the season.

Currently he has proven himself not only in terms of contribution to the club but also for his individuality. Currently Mbappe is only 1 goal behind Lewandowski for the score and now Madrid is still competing in La Liga so of course this is a pretty good thing. But when talking about criticism it is a natural thing because it can be used as good motivation, actually his attitude when receiving criticism and answering it with contributions on the field is very good for me because indeed something like this must be done so that his mentality is getting stronger for a young player who is predicted to be a good player in the future.

That's true and many players in different teams just switch their teams or the league to get another start.
For Kylian Mbappe, he started the season very badly then improved progressively. So far he is doing fine. I said fine and not good or perfectly because he can do a lot better than this. The main excuse is that this is just his first year in Real Madrid so any judgement will be inaccurate.

[KTChampions]

im loving the passion already, but one thing that caught my eye is how Villarreal was all over Madrid in the second half. 14 shots is a lot, and Courtois really bailed them out. its gonna be a fun season if teams are gonna push Real like that

I was quite surprised by what Villareal showed in this match, they were even able to take the lead over Real Madrid right in the 7th minute through a goal scored by J. Foyth. Although in the end the goal had to be replied by Mbappe who managed to score 2 goals right in the 17th and 23rd minutes.

and considering the time is still quite long, I think Mbappe will score another hat-trick in this match, but it is very unfortunate that all Real Madrid can do is maintain their lead until the match ends. Because as you said that for the second half, Villareal continued to press Real Madrid's defense, but fortunately Real Madrid's defense did not waver and the score did not change until the match ended.

Considering how the previous games ended here, 2-1 is a great result for Real. The last time Real won here was when Ronaldo and Bale were at the club. The main problem today was the lack of rest for Real players - after the game with Atletico, which lasted 120 minutes, they had less than 72 hours to recover. Ancelotti even threatened that if something like this happens again, they simply won’t go out to play.

[execijutiere]

Villarreal failed to defeat Real Madrid in a tough match.Villarreal managed to take the lead with Foyth's goal in the 8th minute, but could not find a solution to Mbappe's goals 6 minutes apart.Real Madrid, who won with 2 goals from Mbappe, managed to take the lead with more than a match.
Girona, who have struggled to win in recent weeks, drew with Valencia at home.Valencia also need a lot of points.If they don't want to be relegated, I think they need to get at least a draw in the coming weeks.Things will heat up in the relegation zone in the coming weeks.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

That is what people lack patience for. Which is one of the main reasons that many people thought Mbappé was a waste of money in the first place instead of giving him more time to see what he would bring to Real Madrid. But thank God he has proven them wrong now, and they know he is here to be a saviour for Real Madrid, but still we can’t have much hope in La Liga as we are yet to see the game of Atlético Madrid against Barcelona, which after that we are going to decide if really Real Madrid will have the lead of the season, even though I know that Barcelona has an advantage of a game against Osasuna, which is a possibility of Barcelona winning.

I think maybe Real Madrid needed a good performance at that time because we saw that they were losing a few matches. So when Kylian Mbappe started performing poorly, many criticized him, but he has now recovered remarkably and is able to make a great impact in the match. We have seen today that he has done a great job and has been able to score two goals. Real Madrid Football Club is currently working very hard because they won against Atletico Madrid a few days ago, moreover there is a match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid tomorrow, and we are still unable to accurately predict the outcome of this match. Surely i want a draw in this match and that would be very helpful for Real Madrid as they want to maintain their top spot.

This is quite an exciting match. Well, even though Real Madrid is strong, their defense still seems lacking. Villarreal even made a lot of attacks.
Check the statistics:


Villarreal is crazy, their attacks even reached 23 shots and 10 shots on target.
\ Luckily the goalkeeper is Courtois, so many saves were made. Cool.


And here, Mbappe is also very incredible, 2 goals, now the runner up top scorer under Lewy, only 1 goal difference. It could be that in the next match, he will surpass his top scorer.

If we look at the stats, Real Madrid looks like a small team and Villareal is a big team. It is surprising to see Real Madrid playing like a mediocre team. It is just lucky that Real Madrid has Courtois, he is a very strong goalkeeper. I can't believe he could make 9 saves in the match. Villareal makes 15 shots inside box, Real Madrid must be conceded more than 5 goals if they don't have Courtois. 

And here, Mbappe is also very incredible, 2 goals, now the runner up top scorer under Lewy, only 1 goal difference. It could be that in the next match, he will surpass his top scorer.

Mbappe performed better, he started to enjoy his role in Real Madrid. Yes, he is competing with Lewandowski to be the top scorer this season. I'm sure Mbappe has a big chance to be the top scorer if Real Madrid can maintain good performance and he doesn't get injured.

Yeah, that's normal. Whenever a top star moves to some where. All the time people will demanding higher and higher performance from him. So that's similarly happened to Kylian Mbappe, like Real Madrid fans got crazy when he didn't find anything good to fill up the gap of performance. And that's why people were critics about him. Despite the fact that Kylian Mbappe was weak in understanding with the players, like Killyan Mbappe's chemistry was not well-known with the player, and that is why he was unable to perform. Every player needs time to settle in the club. So the real star is the one who settles in the team within a short time, and Kylian Mbappe has maintained himself in a short time and has started performing superiorly.

[execijutiere]

Mallorca are still pushing for the top of the table.Mallorca won 2-1 at home against Espanyol to increase their points tally to 40.They played a dominant game against their opponents and definitely deserved to win.I don't know if Mallorca can qualify for the European Cups this season, but I think they will give it their best shot.
Celta Vigo are another team in the same situation.They will also want to qualify.They won away to Valladolid with a single goal and increased their points to 39.They are 1 point behind Mallorca and 2 points behind Real Betis.

Yes, everyone was happy when Mbappe scored a brace goal last night. He scored through throwing balls which is incredible after people judged him useless on Real Madrid. I think he has adapted well today. he has learned a lot from Vini and another player how to make chemistry form each other. As we know, this session is enough hard for real Madrid to get the La Liga thropy because Barcelona and Atletico sticking tight with a slight point difference. his figure will be needed to make surprise like last night. As we know Vini has starting to decrease its performance because of his disappointment Ballon d'or, that's why real Madrid need Mbappe to balance Vini on front.

I actually don't see Villarreal as strong enough in the last few match because they have been inconsistent in the last few match, even they lost by Alaves and in that match Alaves also got 2 red cards even though Antonio Blanco got it in the final minutes of the second half, if Villarreal were strong they would definitely take advantage of the conditions and be able to win.
With Villarreal like this even though they are playing at home I still very sure that Real Madrid will be able to win, moreover this match is also very important for Real Madrid.

If Real Madrid wants the La Liga trophy this season, then they must win against Villarreal because this is a great opportunity to widen the gap with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, as the two will meet each other (If the match ends in a draw, then it will benefit Real Madrid, as long as that Real Madrid can win against Villarreal in tonight's match). It may not be easy considering Villarreal will have the advantage of playing at home, but if Real Madrid can show their best performance, I think they can win the game.

Real Madrid got it today, 1 - 2 win over Villarreal and as usual Mbappe became reliable finisher in scoring goal because both goal that brought Real Madrid to winning were created by him and I also made them favorites by giving fairly decent odds.
As for the Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona match, even though the result was draw, it still doesn't really provide comfortable conditions for Real Madrid, remember that there is one postponed Barcelona match and the only good chance for Real Madrid is when both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid suffer lost in some upcoming match.

The quality of the squad made the difference in this game, Real Madrid who had just managed to get through a fierce battle in the UCL managed to maintain their best performance which led to victory after successfully making an impressive comeback over Villarreal. Now Real Madrid has managed to take over the top of the standings after being 3 points ahead of Barcelona, ​​but their position is not safe because Barcelona still has two games left and has the opportunity to take over the top of the standings again if they win vs Atletico.

Truly it was really a fascinating contest between these two teams which real madrid were lucky enough to eventually won the game because with the statistics of the game Villarreal was just unlucky not to get the equalizing goal which i strongly believe that a draw would have been the least they would have gotten if it was their day, they were just unlucky not to get another goal or more in this game.
Then as for Kyler mbape, honestly I think that he is now getting back to his level that we all know him to be, and I believe that with the way he is constantly banging the goals, he is now becoming the star boy of this real Madrid team, he has gradually silent all his doubters especially at the beginning of the season when everyone thought that he was going to be a flop but regardless of what so ever, this victory was really an important victory for this real Madrid team because they can't afford any slip up now that the competition for the title is very fierce.
