La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Odohu]

Looking at Barcelona's performance this season, it seems like they will reach the top because their game in every match is getting better, unlike Real Madrid who are less stable in the match, if Real Madrid want to take advantage when Barcelona loses then it will be useless if they also do not improve overall in the match and the goals scored in each match can also make it difficult for Real Madrid to hunt, but it is true that this season is still ripe and still long but if you look back at their statistics Barcelona will be superior to Real Madrid this season.

That has been clearly seen this season even though Real Madrid still has a lot of time to fix important things in order not to experience poor performance throughout the season. Even though Real Madrid players are players who already have enough experience, they still have difficulty becoming more dominant this season in La Liga. So that has proven that there are some mistakes that must be traced by the coach in order to be able to overhaul it more quickly before they enter the middle of this season.

What I have noticed is that Real Madrid have the players on individual basis but they still lack that team work needed to achieve consistency. The coming of Mbappe have altered the team playing pattern a little as each of the individuals are playing independently,  probably playing to showcase themselves and prove that they deserve a place in their first eleven. Therefore is is now for the coach to swing into action and bring some kind of team work among them because that is the only way they can achieve consistency without which they will not make much progress this season.

I also think that Barcelona will win the La Liga title this season if their performance does not slow down until the middle of the season, because when Barcelona can continue to collect full points in every match that will come, of course it will be difficult for other teams to catch up and match the points that Barcelona have this season. The combination of the front line that is already very good will be maintained by Flick until the end of the season so that other teams must be able to do something more if they want to beat and surpass Barcelona this season.

Last season Barcelona failed to become champions and last season Real Madrid became champions and the point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona last season was 10 points and now Real Madrid has a point difference with Barcelona of 6 points and of course this will definitely be quite difficult for Real Madrid as Barcelona's competitors. and it is true that if, for example, Barcelona can consistently win and maintain its performance, of course there will be great potential for Barcelona to become champions, although there is no 100% guarantee that Barcelona will become champions, but of course now it is normal for many people to speculate that Barcelona will have great potential to become champions in this season.

Yes, of course we'll see whether Barcelona will be able to continue winning until the middle of the season or not, but of course in this case Flick needs to take care of his players so they don't get injured, especially Barcelona's key players. because if, for example, a key Barcelona player is injured, of course it will really hinder Barcelona's dream of winning a trophy this season. Yes, other teams certainly have to be able to work hard if they want to beat Barcelona because Real Madrid alone is a strong team that can be beaten by Barcelona, ​​especially other teams. but what is clear is that there could be surprises from other teams against Barcelona because I saw the match which has been a long time of course Barcelona was also defeated by Osasuna with a score of 4-2 so of course Barcelona is not 100% safe that they will become champions.

Or Mbappe arrival has changed the existing ideal formation and if you look at Bellingham presence now he is closed plus Ancelotti is unable to overcome Mbappe position in the front line so that the conclusion arises what if Madrid needs a new coach like the rumors about Xabi Alonso. Maybe he has a slightly effective game system by utilizing the individual skills of Madrid players. Maybe this sounds excessive, but in La Liga Ancelotti tactics will be very easy to conquer by Hansi Flick.

I think it's too much, Ancelotti is an experienced coach who has shown enough evidence and for the current problem I think there is no reason whatsoever because every team has a time for up or down performance and for now Real Madrid's performance is slumping and Ancelotti and also Mbappe cannot be blamed for all of this, maybe all of this is a matter of time and also the Real Madrid squad has many injuries so they are having a little difficulty.

Real Madrid performance is not really good this season; they are experiencing a hard time currently. However, I think you are right; every player wants to show how good they are in the squad, and that is why there is no teamwork in their performance, and normally in order to achieve goals and the kind of performance we are expecting from them, they need teamwork to get to that level, but they all want to show how good they are, and that won’t help the team.

Ancelloti needs to wake up and make the necessary corrections before it's too late for them. I believe once Barcelona score more goals and they lose more, there will be more margin, and that may be hard for Real Madrid to catch up.

Real Madrid currently have enough players and they definitely need a team worker with consistency. The arrival of Mbappe made the Real Madrid team much stronger and fuller but still the team is not able to follow the good performance. We have seen that Barcelona have come back with twice as good performances as they did last season but Real Madrid's current situation is worse than last season. Moreover, Mbappe is not performing so well in Real Madrid and can't adapt, although we saw that Real Madrid lost the match against Barcelona in the last match, there are many mistakes of Mbappe's game, especially he stays offside more. However, if Real Madrid are to progress, the coach will need a team worker who will be able to take the team to a better position.

OFFICIAL: Fermin Lopez extends his Barcelona contract until 2029

On Thursday, Barcelona announced the renewal of Fermin Lopez's contract until 2029. The La Liga club have secured the Spaniard's services for the next five years by extending his contract and improving his conditions.

Fermin Lopez will remain linked with Barcelona for another five years. On Thursday, the Catalans made official the midfielder's renewal until 30 June 2029, reinforcing his position in the squad after growing exponentially in recent months.

The agreement includes an increase in the player's salary and a rise in his buyout clause to 500 million euros, a sheikh-proof shield that will force those who want to sign the midfielder to negotiate. This is his second renewal in just one year.

The last one was in August 2023. Then, the player was tied to Barcelona until 2027 and his freedom was set at 400 million euros. Now it is two more seasons that bind him to the club, with whom he had been negotiating for several weeks.

It was not until Thursday morning, taking advantage of the calm at the club, that Fermin's agent went to sign his contract.

So far Madrid has gathered many stars players in their squad especially in the attack line, but with many of the star players in the squad but their not been able to show significant performance at the moment, I think they not yet found good chemistry between the players so it is visible that they do not have unity with  better now, with the arrival of a star player like Mbappe should be able to change and improve the dynamics of the current team, but when these great players play and show more of their individual abilities, of course that it will disrupt team harmony and cooperation,I think Ancelotti is capable not yet bringing these players together and ensuring they play as a unit, so there may be a need for strategies that focus more on team play and better communication on the field with drills that emphasize cooperation and a shared understanding of tactics.

One of the advantages of Real Madrid players is having above average individual quality, that is a plus for El Real. Individual skills are needed when breaking down a tight opponent's defense, and Madrid's players have proven it. Likewise with Mbappe, he has very qualified skills. Well, team performance is the main part of a team. Madrid also always prioritizes teamwork, even though its players have their own advantages when compared to other teams. Unfortunately, Mbappe has not found the rhythm of the game to explore his talents at Real Madrid. Pattern factors can also affect his performance so far in La Liga. The problem is, Madrid's midfielders have not reached the level of Toni Kroos who is very skilled, established and mature. However, this is only a matter of time for Madrid to find its rhythm. We'll just have to see what happens next, because it seems like Don Carlo is still looking for the ideal formula for his troops.

When players are mentally disturbed by goals coming in succession from opposing players, then things will never be as good as expected. Real Madrid lost mentally in the match against Barcelona, ​​of course because Barcelona managed to force Real Madrid to make quite a lot of mistakes both in defense and attack. Real Madrid does not expect defeat at home, but this cannot always be prevented when other teams are playing so well.

It is true that at some moments there were Real Madrid players who tried to complete their own chances instead of passing to a partner who was standing in a better position, but if it had been a goal then this would not have been a problem. Real Madrid won the previous match and were unbeaten in La Liga, then Barcelona came to thwart that.

[rugrats]

I quite disagree with you because, judging by how the Barcelona team has performed this season under Hansi Flick, I don't think Ancelotti and Real Madrid were overconfident about winning El Classico match. A team can only be overconfident of winning their match when they are up against a weaker team. Barcelona can't be addressed as such "a weaker team" that a team can be sure of winning before the match begins. A team that is up against them(Barcelona) should know what they are to expect, it's either they win or lose.

That being said, it was a shocking defeat for Real Madrid, nobody had anticipated this kind of disgraceful defeat. Everyone's mind was Real Madrid or Barcelona would win against each other but it will be a score not more than two goals

I do not think anybody expected this kind of defeat for Real Madrid. Everyone expected that Real Madrid was going to win this match. And even if they do not win, they are going to draw. And the worst-case scenario is going to be Real Madrid losing by 1 or 2 goals. But this result was truly unexpected by almost everyone. Losing 4-0 must have given Barcelona a lot of confidence as well. The Real Madrid coach definitely looks or trying to look unfazed by this loss. He has even said that they are going to win the Champions League because the last time Real Madrid lost against Barcelona was 4-0 Madrid went on to win the La Liga title Also win the Champions League title as well. And if there is any coach who is going to be unfazed after a loss like that it has to be Anchelloti.

Mbappe scores but talk about him needing to adapt continues, I don't know, in my opinion he feels good at Real, but they need to get used to each other up front, sometimes coming to a new team and starting to score is not as easy as it seems. It is more important for Real to improve the game in the middle, because the attack will not be able to fully reveal its potential if it does not receive enough good passes. One defeat is not the end, there is still a lot of time ahead and Barcelona should not relax ahead of time, although the gap of 6 points is a good handicap.

I think too much superstars in Madrid is what is affecting their performance, because sometimes Ancelotti might be confused on what strategy to use and who not to use since they are all professional players. From the beginning of this season was when the problem started, and we saw how difficult it was for Ancelotti to understand how to use his attackers properly.

It is a little challenge for Ancelotti, because he will fix the problem and his team will pick form soon.

Mbappe's arrival has badly impacted Real Madrid. It's proven by how bad his performance was against Barcelona. There's no excuse for Mbappe, one of the world's best, to be caught offside so often by a bunch of young players.

It shows how lazy he was, and it's very infuriating that he repeated it 8 times. That's crazy to see how a world-class player could not even be aware of the offside trap.

Even if Real Madrid replaces its coach, it won't change the situation a lot.

One defeat is not the end, there is still a lot of time ahead and Barcelona should not relax ahead of time, although the gap of 6 points is a good handicap.

At least, as far as I know it seems that when Mbappe played at PSG also that Mbappe was more often in the left position and not a front-center player like that. So, when Mbappe gets offside a lot, then I think it's natural because playing a taget man I think is also not Mbappe's ability. Because after all, basically Mbappe and Vinicius can be said to play on the same side, but because Mbappe also just joined Real Madrid, Mbappe was placed as a target man, and I think that's not entirely appropriate.

But even so, I personally will still wait, whether Ancelotti will keep their positions like that, or maybe there will be changes in the front line. Because after all, the reality is that Real Madrid have a lot of luxury players up front but unfortunately, they basically have the same position to make them comfortable and good when they are on the left side.

Why you think 6 is not a hardcap. It's mean they have to win two more maths then Barcelona. But do you think Barcelona will lost their upcoming match. Barcelona will also win there upcoming match so the difference of 6 point is really huge. In the recent match Mbappe played very bad because always be tried to score a goal himself. It was very bad strategy. So then Barcelona take this opportunity and make 4 goals in the second half. real Madrid now on huge pressure .

[Lida93]

Looking at Barcelona's performance this season, it seems like they will reach the top because their game in every match is getting better, unlike Real Madrid who are less stable in the match, if Real Madrid want to take advantage when Barcelona loses then it will be useless if they also do not improve overall in the match and the goals scored in each match can also make it difficult for Real Madrid to hunt, but it is true that this season is still ripe and still long but if you look back at their statistics Barcelona will be superior to Real Madrid this season..

For me, I think this has been the best Barcelona team since the departure of Lionel Messi and more different Barcelona though a bit similar to that of Pep Guardiola with so many young and ambitious players who play with so much zeal and maturity and also posses a winning mentality which is a recipe for success. I believe this Hansi Flick side can achieve a lot in terms of trophies if they can stay focused and put in more hard work but for now it is better to take one game at a time because there's still much to play for and anything can happen between now and the next three months.

Mbappe is quite often caught in the offside trap set by Barcelona. And yes, that happened repeatedly in this match. But several times Mbappe was also able to escape the offside trap which even put Barcelona's goal in danger. It's just that Mbappe is always unable to trick the Barcelona goalkeeper. So the balls he shot hit more of the Barcelona goalkeeper.

I just think that there is a lack of chemistry in Real Madrid's attacking line. I still see that at this club there is competition in the attack line. Vini Jr and Mbappe are both football stars whose careers are currently on the rise. And sometimes this makes selfishness come to one of them. And I'm more worried about that. Because in several matches I saw that there were several positions that were better if made a pass but it was always too forced to be taken by myself and made the results bad. I hope this is just my worry and not actually happening there.

[len01]

6 points isn't too much as the season just started and there are tough games that's going to come as the league continues. You're right for saying Real Madrid is under alot of pressure. Mbappe coming to the club also increase the pressure on Real Madrid to win both the champions league and La liga title. Real Madrid still has a chance to win but for that to happen, they should be consistent then hope for Barcelona to have some few bad games and they'll drop form. The fact that it's always Real Madrid or Barcelona winning the league title is why many individuals prefer the premier league to la Liga as the competition there is tougher and makes the games interesting to watch.

Yeah 6 points are not something difficult to pursue moreover the league still leaves 27 matches but what is our concern is Barcelona's performance because Real Madrid's efforts will be in vain if Barcelona continues its best performance. 10 wins of 11 matches are good records so somehow Real Madrid hopes Barcelona will get bad results in the next few games. As I said before, to see as a whole then we have to wait until the middle of the season I mean we will see how every team maintains consistency

What if we have an assumption like this,

• Madrid focuses on UCL giving Barcelona a chance to win the La Liga title and Madrid holds the UCL title.
• Barcelona accepts the offer to perform optimally in La Liga and continue to get points and wins to provide a large point difference and give Madrid a chance to become runner up.

This assumption makes sense to me because these big teams have their own targets and we definitely know how Madrid goal is to always target UCL and Barcelona will continue to try in UCL but if they fail Barcelona still has the trophy in La Liga.

@irhact So, does Man City dominance over the past 4 seasons make it a tight and interesting competition?
Every league has its own obstacles and both La Liga and the EPL remain interesting leagues for me.

Even if Real Madrid replaces its coach, it won't change the situation a lot.

The Hensi Flick high line tactics favored Barcelona, it shows that he knows what he is doing and he has coached the players on how to maintain their defensive line properly and they did because they caught an overhyped world class winger offside more than seven times in a single match.

Mbappe is a good player, he has achieved a lot of greatness in PSG and his move to Madrid will be a fruitful one with time. It has been a hard time for him to adapt to Madrid’s style of play, especially in big matches, but this can be as a result of the striking role they gave him. But his flop against Barcelona is questionable because many people come to watch him as it was his first official El Classico game.

Nevertheless, let’s give him more time to have more confidence, he can be better in Real Madrid and can win more individual awards.
