La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Uruhara]

Extremely disappointed with Mbappe's performance. He missed penalty again, and at this point i call him dumb enough. I meant he missed by repeating the technique he used against Liverpool is a low IQ type of player. It's very obvious Mbapp ain't La Liga's level. He spent his time too much on the Ubereats League.

He's multiple times worst than Hazard, this is a shameful performance. He's fkn ass, and i'm so tired to see how Ancelotti keeps defending him like nothing happened to him. Hopefully, Madrid packs this guy to the Saudi during summer transfer season.

You shouldn't insult a person just because he couldn't score a penalty, I understand that someone bet on Real and can blame Mbappe for the defeat. I also bet live with a handicap of +1 on Real and I hoped that Mbappe would be able to score, this could have been a turning point in the match, but he missed this opportunity. It is obvious that Mbappe plays under a lot of pressure, they expect much more from him than he can show, and it is obvious that Vinicius was missing in this match.

Well we still can't insult. Because after all he failed because he was not as strong as we thought in terms of managing self-confidence which is related to the psychology of a football player. Mbappe is clearly under pressure from everyone's high hopes for him. And what happened instead was that it caused more disappointment. And I was also very disappointed. Because failing twice with the same position and the same kicking technique is quite difficult to accept. He makes kicks that are very easy to read. He was a little hesitant in kicking which made it easy for the goalkeeper to guess the direction of the shot.

Real Madrid seems to be only good at the moment when facing ordinary teams. But against a strong team, it looks like Real Madrid is still not ready.

[MAAManda]

The missing players isn't really that much of a problem for Real Madrid apparently, because they are now in a chance where they can lead the league. All season long everyone talked about how Barcelona has been a great team and how we are seeing things are changing and so forth, and yet we are in a situation where we are seeing Real Madrid doing better.

Look at where they are now, if they win the next two games, Real Madrid will be ahead of Barcelona, which is a great future and should be noted down. I know that there is still a risk for the future, but at the end of the day injuries didn't really hurt them all that much, Madrid is still doing fine and we are not seeing them change a thing. Ancelotti is a great manager, to be fair he had a star filled team here, but at the same time there are many teams with this many stars and not getting the same result so at least it's easy to say that if nothing else, Ancelotti has great man management that makes him like this.

It's surprising to see you writing this after Real Madrid were defeated by Athletic Bilbao, previously they had a great chance to be able to lead the standings & replace Barcelona's position in first place. However, they failed to get good results in round 19 of La Liga.

Because of this result, Real Madrid is further away from catching Barcelona even though they have 1 match deficit. I'm really disappointed with Kylian Mbappe, he came with a lot of expectations from the fans, but so far he has not been able to prove his quality at Real Madrid.

[tiCeR]

Barcelona giving Real Madrid is kind of strange because Barcelona looked so strong while Real Madrid is still not looking strong, but they somehow collect their points along the way. They are not playing the best and most attractive football, but in contrast to Barcelona they are winning their games, which is what's important in the end.

Ancelotti has been very good during bad times when his team didn't play their best, but yet successfully. This is something I believe Barcelona has to add to their portfolio so to say. Barcelona can either play beautiful football and win big time, or they play bad and lose. Real Madrid instead knows very well how to play bad and win and this can make the difference at the end of the season.

True, Barcelona are playing well, they attack quite a lot, but they have started to score less, and Real are completely focused on the result, the main thing for them is to get points in every match and after it seemed that Barcelona's advantage was too big to change anything, Real showed how they can fix everything. Now everything is in Real's hands, because they have a game in hand, but their next game will be away from home against Athletic Bilbao, it will not be an easy match, in which they also need to get 3 points.

Now that we brought this up and thought Barcelona isn't scoring as much as they did early in the season, they are immediately giving the answer and score 5 goals.

Does anyone know the reason why Lewandowksi didn't get a single minute of playing time? Was the idea to give him some rest and this was another round of Flick rotating again?

It is weird that Flick didn't consider giving him at least 20 minutes or so as strikers especially don't want to lose dynamic because they are put on the bench and Lewandowski was doing so well.

Real Madrid just lost a good advantage over Barcelona by losing their game against Athletic Bilbao 2-1 last night. They played a horrible first half and their effort wasn't enough later on either. Vinicius Junior's absence is felt just a lot you know. Mbappe is still playing very inconsistently.    Every big player has time periods being out of form but let's see...

Now Barcelona are keeping their position even if Real Madrid win their missing game. The competition is really fierce for the league title anyway. No team are able to dominate the league which is good for people loving the excitement.

For Barcelona, ​​now they can breathe a sigh of relief again because their rivals have again failed to get full points, which makes Barcelona even safer in first place for the time being. Well, that's for the time being because sometimes Barcelona could also get bad results again like last week when they were defeated by Las Palmas and it could be that in the next match Real Madrid managed to collect full points and vice versa Barcelona could fail. Yes, everything is becoming more difficult to predict and yes, this makes this season even more interesting due to the fierce competition and also because some teams' performance is difficult for us to predict.

Well I'm worried now maybe not about Real Madrid in Laliga. because not winning the title in Laliga this season is not why because last season Real Madrid was successful. but I'm more worried about Real Madrid in the UCL because their position at the end of the play off zone really makes us nervous to see. Moreover, there are only a few matches remaining in this phase.

I know it is not good to say bad words at person but in this case i think understand his pains, maybe the person have used big amount of money to play Real marid to win but only to see Real Madrid playing opposite was/is very annoying although we are suppose to gamble with what we can afford to let go and what we can not use to say harsh words at people if our prediction does not go as planned or expected. Mbappe performance is giving me reason to believe that Real Madrid is bigger than him, how can someone as good as Mbappe be missing one on one, penalties, entering offside i mean he was not doing all these in his formal club and i keep wondering how long will it take him to understand Real Madrid pattern of play if at all that is the problem.

Everyone knows that Kylian Mbappé is an excellent player. Maybe he is finding life difficult at Real Madrid because he is not used to Real Madrid's pattern of play; Kylian Mbappe just needs time at Real Madrid to show his scoring ability. At this point, what Mbappé needs at Real Madrid is help and love, and that is what Ancelotti is currently doing. If Ancelotti talks down on Kylian Mbappe just the way you did, it will affect his performance at Real Madrid, and he could force a move out of Real Madrid because he will no longer be happy playing for Real Madrid because of the way he is treated.

[Roseline492]

I think that if a player cannot score a penalty, it may not be his fault but it may be the fault of fate.

When a player could not score a penalty is actually his fault because he was the one that was given the opportunity to play, so there is no two ways about it but however the only thing is that nobody is above making a mistake and fate shouldn't even be the reason because confidence is much higher than fate because without confidence no matter how many times you play you would always loss a lot but is not that having a confidence guarantee your scoring because he was very confidence but is just unfortunate for him that the goalkeeper had already have that direction in mind, so actually confidence only gives you a higher chance of scoring a penalty.

What type of player is Mbappe, who makes fans happy in one match only to disappoint them in the next? Mbappe looks to be a player who has never played for a top team, consider the chances that a player we've hyped as one of the greatest players. One thing I understand is that if a player has not adapted to a new club, they must calm down and take it slowly during their debut, but Mbappe is just hungry to score goals and compete with other players who have been in the league for many years.

Ancelotti does not have to put him among the players who will take penalties, in fact, I prefer Bellingham over anybody else, if Vinicuis is unavailable, Bellingham should take the penalty rather than Mbappe. Mbappe has disappointed us several times, like he did against Liverpool in the Champions League, if Mbappe had scored the two penalties when Real Madrid was already behind, they may have fought to win the games. Honestly, I'm starting to regret Real Madrid's decision to sign Mbappe.

Buddy you're right using some words that are insulting for someone because they couldn't do things right is not good beside thats a penalty which I don't think we even need to blame mbappe much on that, in penalty if the player score it is luck likwise when the keeper save the ball, I don't think penalty is a criteria to show that someone is a star,  for me thats natural but let's be realistic, personally i don't understand mbappe again may be i will attribute his recent illed performance to the fact that he has not adapted to the team which may take him up till next season to do that or he is in a kind of pressure because I noticed that he is not stable as such may be those are the reason why his having those mistakes made.

As for the bet of a thing, lets not always have this emotions disturb us, if you place a bet based on the sentiment you have in your mind that a particular player or the entire team will deliver, it shouldn't be a criteria that it must surely happen as you expect it to be, a quick reminder, it's a bet which is gambling and I believe as gamblers that has been in the system by now we should have known that bet is full of uncertainty so any outcome should be seen as what was meant to happen due to circumstances we can't tell atleast with such mindset we will be at peace, no doubt there was much lapses in that match from Realmadrid side which is now history so for me they should be thinking of ways to avoid repetition next time.

[AprilioMP]

Winning is Real Madrid's target in San Mames, Bilbao. To be able to get as targeted is not an easy job because Bilbao is also ambitious to secure the fourth position of the La Liga standings because if Bilbao loses points in this fight, then Villarreal and Mallorca are ready to shift Bilbao.
Real Madrid came to San Mames with a question mark as a great observer for the performance of Kylan Mbappe who was a little overwhelmed to score goals.
I assume the good game of Real Madrid players will be shown in this fight. Betting on Madrid's victory is not afraid for me to install. If you?

San Mames or Bilbao home ground is really dangerous place this season because at there Bilbao is hard to beated and Bilbao statistics during playing at this place is very impressive and only lost once in all competitions so this is big challenge for Real Madrid whether they can able to beat Bilbao or not and starting lineup has been published recently seems Ancelotti has used 4-4-2 strategy with putting Rodrygo and Mbappe in the front lines

Your words about San Mames being a dangerous place have been proven. Real Madrid must admit that they cannot do much there even though entering the match will end and continue to try to win in the middle of the 1-1 score.
Real Madrid's failure to win at San Mames, the situation is getting more difficult for Los Blancos in their efforts to pursue the La Liga trophy target and for Kylan Mbappe personally, his first season in La Liga without a trophy.

Imagine when facing Girona again failing to get points because they act as the away team, then the opportunity to shift Barcelona at the top will be even more difficult.

the points difference with Barca is still very possible to be chased by other teams. besides Madrid, Atletico also has the opportunity to catch up with Barca.
Barca may still be favored by a few points, but as you said, we will not see a team that dominates La Liga. we do not know how Barca will be consistent throughout the season or will slip in their last few matches. Madrid did not perform as well as last season and that will be an advantage for other teams to compete.

Self-confidence is always an important thing that anyone must have if they want to maximize their potential or abilities. This includes professional football players. He must always appear confident and if someone loses self-confidence then he will not even be able to maximize his own abilities.

And I think that's what happened to Mbappe. because in fact he is a very great and talented player but he always seems to lose confidence when he is faced with big responsibilities such as executing penalty kicks. And this made him unable to maximize his abilities at all. But I'm sure that when he regains his confidence he will return to his best performance again.

I think it's wrong to call if Mbappe was just unfortunate enough with his penalty. He has missed two penalty in a row, and all of these penalties are important for his club. The big problem is what the hell is wrong with Madrid to let Mbappe to take the penalty? They shouldn't let him took it after he missed it against Liverpool.

A lot of Real Madrid fans were also bashing him for his mistakes, it looks like he never learn about how to shoot. He got paid two digits million yearly, and he should deliver more. I can still understand if he did it only against Liverpool, but against Bilbao?

He was shooting without power, same direction, and easily predicted. I think he should never take pen till the end of season.

Mbappe is one of the main forwards, it is not surprising that he is trusted to take penalties, but it is bad that he has used bad tactics in recent games for this, I had the impression that he was trying to guess, instead he should have taken this penalty with the force of the shot, so that the goalkeeper had no chance to save this ball. Mbappe should definitely be blamed for this defeat, because this penalty and the next one could have been the turning point in the match, but it did not happen and Bilbao won.

Mbappe is not the only player that has missed a crucial penalty even the best players do Ronaldo and Messi. When a game doesn't want to go in your favour there's nothing you can do about it, even if you used all the best player in the pitch, and I think that was the situation with Real Madrid in that encounter with Bilbao last night that they lost the game. Any player can miss penalty and I doubt if Mbappe wouldn't have wanted to score the penalty for their team to win.

[Republikcoin.com]

Barcelona performed well at the beginning of the season but we do not know what will happen in the middle of the season whether Barcelona can maintain its consistency or not as far as Barcelona has gone, this club experienced a slight decline and that was successfully utilized by Real Madrid to catch up, now their competition will feel fierce again, even a small mistake will change their position.

That is true, but the problem at this time is about Real Madrid who sometimes still lose when facing teams like Athletic Club so that it has affected their competition with Barcelona even though Real Madrid still has many opportunities to overtake Barcelona who are still at the top of the La Liga standings at this time. I think Real Madrid should have another penalty taker because Mbappe really can't be expected for that matter because his style is always easier to read by any goalkeeper.

Ancelotti is getting the defeats he deserves. I've never seen a Real Madrid as bad as the Real Madrid I've been watching lately. I don't know if Ancelotti is doing this on purpose, but he has an incredibly bad understanding of the game and Real Madrid doesn't have a single attack that can be considered good, not a single goal. They play a completely random game. It must be a deliberate thing to do to make a team with a mix of stars play so badly.

Because of Ancelotti's insistence on Mbappe, players can't play in their own position and games are lost because of this. To demolish Real Madrid, a team that no one has been able to demolish for years, with a single transfer is a great achievement. The best advice I can give to Mbappe is to learn Arabic without wasting time.

[MainIbem]

Mbappe has been too much praised since his arrival and now when those expectations are not met then Mbappe will be mocked and that makes Mbappe even more difficult with the burden he is carrying now.
I think that is also reasonable because Mbappe deserves to be blamed after his performance has not improved so far and even Mbappe's penalty failure made Real Madrid have to experience another defeat.
Not intending to find fault with one of the players, but in fact now, Mbappe has failed to contribute to the Real Madrid team even though he is a football star who is highly expected to make the team much better but the opposite happened.

Mbappe has indeed failed to execute penalties twice and it is very reasonable to highlight because in the match at Athletic Club's home ground Mbappe should have been able to score the goal on the penalty opportunity which at least could have given the score a draw for Real Madrid. But it was in vain when he was not very good at taking penalties so Ancelotti had to look at other players for that because Mbappe is not a good executor for penalties. And what is quite unfortunate is that this defeat has certainly given Barcelona another opportunity to remain in first place in La Liga for now.

I think it's either Mbappé is still finding it tough to settle down in the club or he's gradual losing it, I mean this is not the first time we've seen world class player come into the Bernabeu and underperformed, too bad Mbappé have joined the list of such players, I think he needs help to regain his form again atleast his own situation is not cause of injury but he might be going through pressure and emotional stress therefore they need to help him get better. Mbappé is a world class player and when in his best form, he does magic with his foot he needs more time to get better, I know fans are so impatient with him but with time I trust Mbappé would bounce back stronger and put smile on their faces again, too bad they lost that match against cause that was an opportunity to get closer to Barcelona on the table. Well, I think yout suggestion is actually right cause if he's always losing penalties then that role should be switched to a better penalty taker in the team, it mustn't be Mbappé.
