La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[JiiBs]

Ancelotti struggled to use Mbappe and it affects chances of other players like Endrick and Arda. Mbappe didn't show any signal that he can resolve his psychological issues in recent matches and Ancelotti maybe will have to make a hard decision by putting Mbappe on bench in some matches. It's big decision but it can be very helpful for Mbappe and Real Madrid. The club can get better performances and results with more appearances and contributions from young players like Arda.

I look forward to seeing that happen and yeah, it would really be a big decision given the value that is attached to the player even though he came as a free agent. Though his yet to reflect those values in his play making, a lot of fans wouldn’t want to see him on the bench.
Real Madrid in yesterday’s game made good use of the times they could go forward. After there first goal, it looked as though Girona would get back in the game with a goal to level the first half but nope, they couldn’t see this through and once the Real Madrid pressure was on in the second, it wasn’t difficult to produce more 2 goals. That was the Real Madrid I was used to seeing.

Mbappe is a great star but sometimes it can be difficult to get along with star players. Mbappe loses too many positions and has a negative impact on the team. Ancelotti needs to take precautions against this situation. Real Madrid's substitute players are very high quality and many of them have the potential to provide more benefits than Mbappe. Ancelotti should keep Mbappe on the bench in some matches and keep other players in the game more.

Players like Arda have the potential to change the score every minute of the match and should have more playing time. Mbappe plays very selfishly and wastes Real Madrid's attacks. Ancelotti should keep Mbappe on the bench in some matches until he gets back to his old form.

[X-ray]

Real Madrid won even more comfortable than I imagined, good work.    Bellingham continues to score. He is in great shape recently. And it was awesome to see Arda Güler in the starting lineup. He scored a goal too! Ancelotti should give him more chances when he thinks of making some changes in the lineup. For example he preferred Ceballos previously. What for? Arda is way more skilled than him.

After the 2-2 draw Barcelona got against Betis, Real Madrid once again have a chance to take the lead by winning their missing game. The competition is so lovely...

In Barcelona has Lamine Yamal, Madrid has Arda.
A very comfortable appearance without pressure even though playing as the host but it seems that Ancelotti has got a much better formation than before. I also agree that compared to Ancelotti using Ceballos, it is better to rely on Arda who has higher physical strength.
Bellingham is also one of the mainstay players at this time even though there is Mbappe but Bellingham mentality is currently greater. So this kind of player formation must be maintained.
Madrid still has the opportunity to shift Barcelona position as long as they have a small points difference.

A beautiful performance from Madrid yesterday. However, I am not that surprised because Girona is not in a good form this season and they suffered several defeats in the beginning of the season. Madrid will take over the first position from Barcelona if Madrid can win their outstanding match. The league is getting more interesting with the challenges both clubs are passing through, and still fighting for the title as rivals.

Girona has lost its last season's squad. They are building back from the bottom with the new players. It's would be different if Real Madrid fought Girona with their last season squad. No doubt they destroyed by Real Madrid.

Talking about Madrid, they're good in this match, but way too dependent on their CAM, Bellingham. I'm wondering what happens to them if they miss him. I still have a complaint about Mbappe. He scored, but he missed many chances. His shoots too often straight at the goalie.

It seems he needs to take a shoot training far harder. I see nothing showed from his worldclass level.

All in all, a good result to bump Real Madrid's morale before they fight against Atalanta. I think they will find difficulty to beat Atalanta soon.

Ancelotti is not ready to bench Mbappe so that Arda gets a chance to play, but now that Vinicius is injured he will have a chance to show that he deserves to get more playing time, yesterday he played a good match and scored a goal. Mbappe also scored a goal yesterday, on the one hand I understand those who say that he is not always good, for some reason this happens in important matches, but on the other hand he scores consistently, so he is also important for the team.

In the Spanish League today, in the match between Girona vs Real Madrid, Real Madrid team won by 3 goals. Real Madrid team performed exceptionally well from the beginning to the end of the game. Girona team players tried hard to score in this match but could not score any goal. If we look at the points table, Real Madrid team is in 2nd position. Girona team is in 8th position in the points table.

Girona was unable to make attacks well enough and was also unable to control the ball more than the visiting team, Real Madrid, so this has opened up opportunities for Real Madrid to win the match. Because apart from Girona who is not doing so well this season, Real Madrid who is still in second place in the La Liga standings is also not in such good form this season even though Madrid was able to win by three goals without reply at Girona's home. And I'm not really surprised by the results because Madrid is indeed trying to get more wins so that Madrid can be superior in terms of points.

[Judith87403]

I'm not too impressed with Barcelona of recent because the way they started the season and how they are playing now are totally opposite. They started very well and in high spirit and were consistently winning every other matches. But now they are far from being consistent. They are playing Real Betis, a team that lost two of their recent matches yet they have refused to yield to Barcelona who won first half only for the host to equalize in the second half. Real Madrid will be very happy for this outcome.

Barcelona have become an unstoppable team at the start of this season's La Liga as they have won matches against all teams from the start. There is a difference between their early performance and current performance this La Liga season as you mentioned. One reason for the change in their performance could be player injuries. From the beginning these team players had no injuries but currently some special players in their team are injured due to which their team performance is not good. The match in which Barcelona drew against Real Betis yesterday was completely unexpected.

Barcelona have experienced a significant change in form this season, although the beginning of the season they have been quite consistent and also appeared very dominant by winning many games in a row, but now their performance has decreased surprisingly, the three defeats and two draws they have achieved so far, has actually made their position at the top of the standings starting to be insecure, this is because Madrid is starting to try to press to cut the current gap, although Barcelona is 2 points ahead of Madrid ranked second, but Madrid have an advantage with 1 match postponed at this time.

Barcelona performance this days is not impressing at all but it's not only them because most of the team are also  not consistent as a matter of fact the top 4 team in this La Liga are not consistent with there winnings. If not for Real Madrid lost in previous match against ATH by now they would've been at top 1 but they still have another advantage to kick out Barcelona from that position, I know one of the reason Real Madrid is losing some of their match is because of the absence of Vinicius, Vinicius is an incredible player, a one man squad. Time is coming when each club or team will be praying for another to lose so that they will win to lead that's when the league will become tough.

[Zigabel]

Ancelotti is not ready to bench Mbappe so that Arda gets a chance to play, but now that Vinicius is injured he will have a chance to show that he deserves to get more playing time, yesterday he played a good match and scored a goal. Mbappe also scored a goal yesterday, on the one hand I understand those who say that he is not always good, for some reason this happens in important matches, but on the other hand he scores consistently, so he is also important for the team.

Ancelotti should consider that at some point if he really wants the progress of the team because such helps the team grow some sort of competition and not to be making a particular player feel he's too important to be replaced, if he gets benched twice and sees that his replacement is doing so well which may become a threat to his position, i believe he will be forced to improve so he can secure more playing time.

And I'm not really surprised by the results because Madrid is indeed trying to get more wins so that Madrid can be superior in terms of points.

I thought Girona played quite well until they conceded in the 36th minute and they actually had some good chances but unfortunately, they lacked clinical finishing. After Real Madrid took the lead through Bellingham I saw Girona was quite devastated and their rhythm became sloppy, so instead of being able to catch up, they actually conceded another goal. I think Girona is completely different from last season and I think losing Artem Dovbyk and Aleix Garcia was to blame.

It's big decision but it can be very helpful for Mbappe and Real Madrid. The club can get better performances and results with more appearances and contributions from young players like Arda.

In my opinion, the press is trying to destroy Mbappe's image, I don't understand why people complain so much about Mbappe, the guy has just arrived at the team, he is getting used to the team, he has played 15 games and scored 9 goals and made 1 assist and they forget that in the first games of Real Madrid Mbappe was not playing in his usual position, only now with Vinicius Jr.'s injury is Mbappe in his usual position. The press and many people also forget that when Vinicius Jr. and so many other good players arrived at Real Madrid they did not perform very well, it took them a few seasons to adapt.

[Luzin]

Ancelotti is not ready to bench Mbappe so that Arda gets a chance to play, but now that Vinicius is injured he will have a chance to show that he deserves to get more playing time, yesterday he played a good match and scored a goal. Mbappe also scored a goal yesterday,

We have to remember he has just risen this season, so Mbappe needs to adapt. So I don't have too much of a headache to blame Mbappe, he's a good player. I think Ancelotti should have the courage to start to give more time to Arda or Endrick, because they will be the main players for the future. So Ancelotti must be able to take advantage of all the potential of the players to get the most results. Although Madrid's current condition is not bad, they are able to continue to stick to Barcelona at the top. Their next focus is UCL, Real Madrid will fly to Italy against Atalanta.

[ITExpert]

Barcelona had a great opportunity to increase the gap with Real Madrid and increase their chances of maintaining their top position. However, Barcelona unexpectedly failed to do so. The first half of the match looked like Barcelona would win the match easily, but the final result was completely different. Both teams performed well in the match. Although Barcelona is ahead in terms of possession, they are behind Real Betis in terms of attack.

There is a big difference between Barcelona at the beginning of the season and Barcelona today. This may be due to the injuries of some of their key players. However, I think the injuries of the players are just an excuse. The coach must plan with the current players in his team and create unity among them.

So sad to see Barcelona situation changes suddenly. They were world class club for about five games and then suddenly slipped back into Barca of Xavi era because I don't understand how they keep control of every game smashing teams for fun and only to fall this bad. They are still two points clear ahead of Madrid but Madrid have the ability to go on a better run than Barcelona is currently doing despite that they are also struggling. Winning their outstanding match will automatically put them ahead of Barcelona and takeover the table. Hansi Flick is not helping matters with his line up and substitutions. It's normal to lose a game but why Hansi Flick substituting Raphina out and putting in Torress in a time like this? It really a bad decision from the coach.

Yes, it's really a pity because I thought Barcelona was the strongest and hardest working team and I believed it would never be weak but recently they play bad matches, I also feel that Barcelona's bad time has started now. If you see, Barcelona have only drawn matches in the matches, which can be the secret of the hard work of the opposing team. We should not misunderstand Barcelona because of how long they have been showing us their good record. Even if two or four matches go bad, there is nothing to fear. If they play like this in the next matches, it will be an embarrassment for Barcelona. Barcelona's next matches are easy in which they can win but can't say anything about Madrid as they can also beat Barcelona on points but Barcelona will not let that happen because they have worked hard to get to this position.

[Docnaster]

And well, regarding the match, nothing remarkable. It was foreseeable that Madrid would have an easy game even though they were playing away from home against a team that in the first few rounds was in the top positions but that little by little is dropping to mid-table as is more normal for a team with that budget.

I know that bookmakers were tipping Real Madrid to beat their hosts Girona yesterday in the Spanish La Liga but I also know that that was the same prediction in their game at Athletic Bilbao last week when they were beaten. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti deserves praises for how he's getting good results with his team even when the club have recorded numerous injury cases to the first team players.  Hopefully, Real Madrid wins their outstanding game and move to the summit of the league standings.

Girona has lost its last season's squad. They are building back from the bottom with the new players. It's would be different if Real Madrid fought Girona with their last season squad. No doubt they destroyed by Real Madrid.

All in all, a good result to bump Real Madrid's morale before they fight against Atalanta. I think they will find difficulty to beat Atalanta soon.

Girona this season is not so impressive, especially since some of their players have left. The tight schedule also worsens their performance, it seems Michel is having difficulty maximizing the performance of his team. In last night's match, Girona again suffered a bad result, they fell at their home base. In Madrid's camp, Don Carlo again tried to change his system and pattern. The results were quite satisfying, most importantly they were able to get full points amidst the situation of many players who were injured. Talking about Mbappe in last night's match, he finally scored again even though there were several opportunities that failed to be converted into goals. But at least, he answered that he could also score goals. Slowly maybe Mbappe will be more confident, especially if Real Madrid plays with a full squad. Anyway, it's not easy for Madrid in the current situation, Don Carlo must always look for ways to outsmart his team with the available players. The point is now the points gap with Barca is getting thinner, Madrid only needs to maximize its performance until the injured players return to the field. Next, we just have to wait for Madrid's match against Atalanta in the Champions League.

Real Madrid in yesterday’s game made good use of the times they could go forward. After there first goal, it looked as though Girona would get back in the game with a goal to level the first half but nope, they couldn’t see this through and once the Real Madrid pressure was on in the second, it wasn’t difficult to produce more 2 goals. That was the Real Madrid I was used to seeing.

Forget that, it won't happen. You know why? There is always a chance for Mbappe to score a goal or create an assist in a match for Real players to score goals. Mbappe is one kind of player you don't bench easily in a match because he misses penalties. Let's forget about his missed penalties. Doesn't he score goals or make contributions in matches for Real Madrid players to score one or two goals? The fact is that Mbappe is a figure in football that a coach doesn't bench because of his missed penalties without considering him to be a player who disturbs the defense line of opponents.

Notwithstanding this, it remains an outstanding match for Real Madrid to top Barcelona. I guess the 3 points earned by Real Madrid and a point earned by Barcelona in yesterday's match, is an indication that Real Madrid might finally end up lifting the LaLiga trophy. However, Ancelotti will be very happy about yesterday's match because the opportunity to top Barcelona is open once again for them to do the needful of beating their next opponent, Rayo Vallecano, by next week

[hahay]

Basically, Girona this season is not as good as last season either, so that made it possible for Real Madrid to win despite Ancelotti getting punished for not being on the field. However, in this 0-3 win, Bellingham was the man of the match again and not Mbappe but unfortunately, after Bellingham made an assist for Guler's goal and a few minutes passed Bellingham was injured and a substitution was made. But even though Real Madrid managed to win in this match, I think there is still no guarantee that Real Madrid will get  good results as well as the Champions League later against Atalanta. Because after all, the reality is that Atalanta is also in a very good trend at this moment, so playing away I think will really make it difficult for Real Madrid to  get good results there later.

Mbappe is not a young player. Mbappe is a very experienced player. It is a pity that a player like Mbappe needs so much time to adapt. Mbappe has played 20+ matches in the Real Madrid jersey. But he has not yet been able to adapt himself to the team. Mbappe should work harder. Otherwise, he will not be able to adapt to Madrid. Madrid has a strong squad. If Mbappe can perform well, there is no doubt that we will see a stronger performance from Madrid.

Vini has been out of the squad for a few matches due to injury. At the moment, Mbappe has the opportunity to prove his capabilities. But even then, we are not seeing good performances from Mbappe. If this continues, Coach Ancelotti will not give Mbappe a place in the starting XI after a few days.

If Madrid had faced Girona last season, of course we would all have thought twice about betting on Madrid, remembering Girona's extraordinary performance last season, but for this season, it seems that Girona is no longer the favorite team when facing strong opponents like Madrid, so it is not surprising that the bookies favored Madrid in the match, Although Madrid appears with a limp squad due to injury in the match, they were able to appear dominant throughout the match, and this shows that they are still much better than Girona although in the previous match they lost to Atletico Bilbao.

[tsaroz]

Real Madrid looks like they have found back their performance. Defeating Girona at their home ground 3-0 is not a small feat. With Barcelona losing their winning steak and having back to back draws with easier teams. Real Madrid had caught on with them. If real Madrid wins their next match, they would get back to top of the table with equal games played with Barcelona. The table position could look more or less like the previous season excluding Girona.

Mbappe has only scored 11 goals and 2 assists for Real Madrid, from a total of 21 matches that he has played. The results are not too bad, but not enough to really prove that he is indeed an experienced young player and one of the best players in the world. However, lately Mbappe has often been labeled bad because he has not been able to score goals in every match and most recently he failed to execute a penalty when Real Madrid faced Bilbao, so Real Madrid had to accept defeat in that match. On the other hand, Mbappe is also often associated with his idol CR7 who at that time CR7 was still wearing a Real Madrid uniform, where CR7 continued to show brilliant achievements when he was still wearing a Real Madrid uniform. people continue to compare them and this creates quite a heavy pressure for Mbappe who has just joined Real Madrid this season.

Currently, Real Madrid really needs the best abilities from the French player, especially after Vinicius suffered a long injury. and I hope Mbappe can immediately show his best abilities, and can appear more consistently in every match.

If real Madrid wins their next match, they would get back to top of the table with equal games played with Barcelona. The table position could look more or less like the previous season excluding Girona.

Madrid performed well, but i don't think they are back. They won, this true, but they against weak Girona. The real test is gonna happen when they face Atalanta soon.

They looked so clinical in this game, but disappointed how many chances they missed. Three goals were enough, but they could score more than three. Mbappe scored a goal, but he has been so wasteful in this game. He could score 2 or 3 goals.

Although they got three points, they shall still concern about their attacking line. The should not also forget that Bellingham was almost injured. Glad Ancelotti subbed him off the pitch.

Bellingham has his team on his shoulder.
