La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[AYOBA]

Barcelona played very well and all five goals were scored in the first half, and when Barcelona had to play with 10 men in the second half in the 56th minute because Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny committed a foul, Real Madrid should have been able to take advantage of the long time until the end of the match. But I really saw Barcelona still able to play well even though they only played with 10 men, they were still able to control the ball and maintain their lead with a big score of 2-5. And I was also impressed with Lamine Yamal's play and speed and he also scored the first goal in the 22nd minute and created some good chances.

A big surprise from the Barcelona in their last match against Real Madrid I was not watch the match, but I checked the live score and saw the Barcelona leading Real Madrid with 5-2 I was very shock; this show that Barcelona want to embark their performances to the stand one: and with the way they show up in that previous match means they can also do more than that in their next matches.

Because if they can keep their performances so strong in that way they will soon chances Real Madrid form the 2nd place of the position, if they maintain their consistent their performances can keep moving in that way because every things matter of consistency.

Real Madrid has not been functioning at their maximum best because of some injuries in the squad. The injuries must be addressed and I hope that Florentino Perez will be able to sanction transfers and Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring in good and quality players not necessarily big names players but players that will add to the success of the club.

If you take a look at Real Madrid squad, there are only 2 injured players now. I think we can't blame the injury factor as the reason of bad performance experienced by Real Madrid players. I think it may be caused by the change of Real Madrid mentality, they have no big spirit and confidence as in the previous seasons. Or they become too confident, so it ruins their focus on the matches. I personally don't see any problem with Real Madrid squad quality, they have talented and skillful players. Even, many of them are star players with great experience in winning any competition. However, to perform well, they must have a good teamwork and play consistently.

You are right. Real Madrid has not been functioning at their maximum best because of some injuries in the squad. The injuries must be addressed and I hope that Florentino Perez will be able to sanction transfers and Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring in good and quality players not necessarily big names players but players that will add to the success of the club.

I think Real Madrid has a lot of quality players in their team. Many quality players do not get much playing time because of the stronger competition in the team to break into the main squad. Injuries certainly hinder one team from performing well but that is over for Real Madrid because in La Liga they have found their best performance again. Real Madrid is only 1 point behind Atletico Madrid so it is not right to say that Real Madrid is not performing well in La Liga.

Losing in the Spanish Super Cup is certainly not a strong reason to say that their performance is not good this season. There are still many opportunities for Real Madrid to get trophies this season. I am sure with the squad they have they will be able to become champions in La Liga and perform better in the Champions League match. We need to see Ancelotti strategy mix because he has his own target to return the team to its best form.

[Leviathan.007]

This match was not surprising at all, even most Madrid fans turned off the television because the first half alone showed who the champion was. This is an El Clasico that is not as expected, the strength of Barcelona and Real Madrid has a significant difference. When entering the second half it was just a bonus round for Barcelona is just a playground. Don't get me wrong that honestly this final is not balanced.

Madrid disappointed a lot of people by losing to Barcelona and the amount of goals scored and I don't even blaming the person for turning off the television because when you look at the game Real Madrid played against Barcelona and they were doing better than Barcelona, and they still lost to them, El Clasico is usually a battle and this one just looks to easy and I was not expecting this much goals, and Real Madrid was defeated as if they are a small club, and this is very unlike Madrid to be losing to this extent but it's all football and anything should be expected. And athletico is there trying to get and stay by the top by all means but am still very skeptical about them winning.

Barcelona won the important match against Real Madrid and now Real Madrid should think about making some changes in this team because getting a 5-2 result is not good at all and this definitely put Ancelloti under pressure because of getting this result. Mbappe was not as good as we were expecting to see and he was disappointing. Real Madrid got many other expensive players like him but it was not working for them.
Now Barcelona is getting closer to Real Madrid in the La Liga table. Barcelona got 38 points while Real Madrid got 43.

Yesterday's result did not surprise me because Madrid does have quality players in the attack line but it takes time to form a deadly attack line. If Madrid's season ends badly, I am sure that in the coming season Madrid will definitely be able to get a very strong performance and win titles in several more competitions. Regarding the large number of goals conceded, it would not have happened if Ancelotti's mainstay defender had not been absent from the match. So I think that this is indeed natural if it happens and I think that defeat in this competition is not the end of Madrid's struggle.

Well, basically Real Madrid still hasn't found the balance between the strength of their attack line and back line. Their attack line is actually fine. But their back line still looks worrying. There are several gaps that this team usually doesn't show but are now often visible. Ancelotti is definitely working hard to find a solution to this. And for the time being he can only trust the existing players. What worries me the most is because Real Madrid will soon also have a match in the Champions League. I'm afraid Real Madrid won't be able to qualify for the play-offs. But maybe my worries are too much. Because the opponent that Real Madrid will face should not be a tough opponent for Real Madrid. But still I felt a worry.

In Laliga I am not worried at all because the point difference is not that much. And changes can occur with just the result of 1 match. But in the Champions League in the current phase the conditions are different. Where Real Madrid has the potential to fail to advance further if they fail to get full points in the last two matches. Even though Real Madrid is in the play-off zone, the results of two matches can quickly change the ranking there.

The loses from Barcelona has been showing Real Madrid required a lot of improvement especially on their defense because conceded 5 goals is serious alert for Real Madrid and luckily Barcelona at that time got the red card because if this incident didn't happen possibly Barcelona will scores more goals in the second half and Ancelotti has been concern for the right side because after Dani Carvajal injured right side is became an the weaknesses of Real Madrid

Ancelotti recently asking to Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez to buy the players this January but it seems Ancelotti will have to be disappointed because this winter Florentino Pérez confirmed will not buy the players and i think this is bad because Real Madrid still playing at several different competitions this season so it's too risky to rely on the current squad which mostly some of the defender still got the injured

You are right. Real Madrid has not been functioning at their maximum best because of some injuries in the squad. The injuries must be addressed and I hope that Florentino Perez will be able to sanction transfers and Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring in good and quality players not necessarily big names players but players that will add to the success of the club.

It is true that Real Madrid are not able to give their best performance due to injuries to their players. If they can solve the injuries, they will definitely have a chance to return to good form. If Ancelotti can bring good quality players to the team with the transfer approval, then the team will be even stronger. If they can strengthen their defense line instead of bringing big-name expensive players, the team will definitely return to its previous form, so Real Madrid should take this initiative now.

In the match against Barcelona yesterday, 2 Real Madrid defenders were unable to play due to injuries. The two players are Militao and Carvajal. So with this, it is natural that Real Madrid's defense was very bad in this match. But what makes me wonder is why the current defenders at Real Madrid can't play well and only rely on senior defenders like Carvajal and Militao. In fact, in the previous season, the second tier players who played as defenders performed quite well and were not too different from the main players. But this season the second tier players have really had poor performance. So this is certainly a big problem for Real Madrid in the midst of an ongoing competition like this. That's why Ancelotti has the initiative to bring in new players to overcome this problem, because if it is not addressed as early as possible it could make it difficult for Real Madrid to compete for trophies this season.

But as we know, Perez does not agree with the idea put forward by Ancelotti, meaning it is clear that this season Real Madrid will not bring in any new players. Maybe the main cause is the arrival of Mbappe. Because Mbappe has an expensive contract and also an expensive salary. So it is certain that with this, Perez will think twice about bringing in new players this season. So the solution that Ancelotti might be able to do now is just to use the existing players so they can perform better. Because his hopes of bringing in new players like him will not happen this season. And apart from that, Ancelotti must first hone his defensive players better so that they become stronger. Because we can see for ourselves, weak defense can have fatal consequences if Ancelotti doesn't address it immediately.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Actually before the final match I also thought that Real Madrid would win and they have been performing much better than Barcelona recently. I chose Madrid to bet on which is very painful. Madrid was well prepared to win the trophy like last time but having a strong squad like Barca and their tactics Madrid's defense was defeated. I hoped that Ancelotti would at least make the most of their efforts to strengthen their defense. I was hopeful to see Madrid offensive play at the beginning of the game. I also thought like you that a great player like Mbappe would score first and maybe have a better time in the rest of the match but Barcelona great players in the attack and midfield made successful attacks one after another and scored goals very easily.

Almost most people say that Real Madrid has a better chance of winning the match because their performance is much better, but Barcelona did something great that was unexpected and they managed to beat Real Madrid with a very promising score. If you pay attention, there are positions that may not be running according to instructions and I see Ancelotti's players in defense not performing optimally so it is very easy for Barcelona players to attack. Real Madrid failed to capitalize on Mbappe's goal and lost concentration after Yamal's equalizer and then the penalty awarded by the referee which was successfully scored a goal into a goal by Lewandowski made things even more difficult.

Yes, I also thought that Madrid had a better chance of winning but Ancelotti failed to give his team the right advice or strategy against a strong team like Barcelona. I think Real Madrid's best players did not shine much during most of the match such as Vinicius and Jude Bellingham, they did not show their best game. With the addition of Mbappe to the team this season it seemed that Madrid would be able to recover their lost success and this has been possible to some extent by achieving the top spot in La Liga, but after losing to Barcelona by a huge margin, their performance has again raised doubts that if their defense does not improve, the next matches may end even worse.

The next matches may be more difficult for Madrid and the opponent team has the impression that their defense is much weaker and we will have to wait and see how quickly they can get back to their strong position. I think Mbappe's performance is relatively good but he fails to display the right play due to a lack of coordination with his teammates.

Laliga title belongs to three teams this season, either Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid or Barcelona. How are the mighty falling? Carlo Ancelotti should change his pattern because it's not working against Barcelona. They've crumbled several times when they face Barcelona and this is extremely no good result for them. They need all the energy to withstand the pressure exerted by Barcelona. They've faced each other two times and Barcelona have humbled Real Madrid, is it a fair result? It's 5-2 on scoresheet and that's an embarrassing outcome for Los Blancos. They did their best but unable to smashed stabled outcome. Hansi Flick and Carlo Ancelotti are no mates when it comes to managerial duties, they have their differences and styles. Real Madrid are no match for Barcelona this season because the stats and facts is there.

I partially agree with you. One of the reasons for Real Madrid's poor performance is that several players in their squad have suffered injuries. In particular, two important defenders in Madrid's squad have suffered injuries. Milltao and Carvajal were out of the squad due to injuries in the match against Barcelona. And this is why Madrid's defense performed very badly against Barcelona.

However, another reason for Madrid's poor performance against Barcelona is Ancelotti's poor match strategy and formation. In this match, we saw Tchouameni in defense. I have never seen Tchouameni play as a defender in the past. And as usual, Tchouameni made several mistakes in defense. As a result, it became easier for Barcelona's players to score. And Madrid conceded 5 goals.

I don't think they will bring in an average player when it comes to Real Madrid. Every player they bring in will be world-class players. However, we can think that players coming out of the youth academy can be average players. Other than that, none of Real Madrid's transfers are simple transfers. Ancelotti definitely needs to make transfers to areas where they are lacking. The fact that they conceded almost ten goals in two matches from Barcelona should also be questioned.

[SilverCryptoBullet]

The next matches may be more difficult for Madrid and the opponent team has the impression that their defense is much weaker and we will have to wait and see how quickly they can get back to their strong position. I think Mbappe's performance is relatively good but he fails to display the right play due to a lack of coordination with his teammates.

With departures of Kroos, Casemiro and ageing effect on Modric, Real Madrid have more problems and weakness in their midfield. With many injuries in defense system on their defenders, Real Madrid have big systematic issue in defense and whether they succeed or fail to cover their defensive weakness, will decide they will win titles like La Liga or Champions League in this season.

They still have many world class attacking players and very powerful attacking system, but as a team they need strong defense to win matches, then win titles. Mbappe is only an attacking player and he can not decide result for a whole team, this big final defeat is an example and also a very big warning for Real Madrid.

but Real Madrid immediately fell apart after conceding a goal. The game lost its discipline and Barcelona made a great comeback against them. Although Real Madrid took the lead, Barcelona won the match by five goals. This was truly the best match I have watched recently. We remember how they humiliated Real Madrid before that. Real Madrid should be afraid of Barcelona. You can lose against them even in your best times. Moreover, Barcelona prepared extra against Real Madrid. The meaning of these matches for Barcelona is more as we see.

[ancafe]

It is true that Real Madrid are not able to give their best performance due to injuries to their players. If they can solve the injuries, they will definitely have a chance to return to good form. If Ancelotti can bring good quality players to the team with the transfer approval, then the team will be even stronger. If they can strengthen their defense line instead of bringing big-name expensive players, the team will definitely return to its previous form, so Real Madrid should take this initiative now.

That is in the past and Real Madrid must learn from the defeats they got this season in a row when facing El Clasico so that in the future they can be much better. I think Ancelotti also fielded his best squad when facing Barcelona but they were unable to play at their best level because they made too many mistakes. The defense is something that needs to be considered because I see this as a slightly more crucial position that Real Madrid is currently experiencing.

Real Madrid still have the chance to win the La Liga trophy or the Champions League but to what extent they can be stronger in facing the competition. If they manage to bring in some additional players then the chances will be much greater because the coach has the option to play the players he needs.

[tusandii]

accept it.
 it goes to show the difference between both teams, it showed that Real Madrid are a team of individual talents meanwhile Barcelona are more like a unit, they combined very well against Real Madrid and that was why it was very easy for them to get an equalizer very quickly in the first half and took the lead and could also withstand Real Madrid despite the red card suffered by Barcelona goalkeeper in the second half.

It showed how Barcelona could still play solidly even though they only played with 10 players and I was initially skeptical when Barcelona lost their goalkeeper in the 57th minute even though the match was still quite long and maybe Real Madrid could turn things around but it turned out that Barcelona's defensive play was very good they managed to maintain their lead until the end of the match, this victory was very fitting for Barcelona because they still played confidently even though they were previously underestimated.

[Barikui1]

Mbappe is only an attacking player and he can not decide result for a whole team, this big final defeat is an example and also a very big warning for Real Madrid.

Yea, it's actually a big warning for real madrid because their defense can't be conceding such cheap goals and be expecting to win something big, if you look at all the teams that has won the league and the uefa champions league over the years, you will observe that their defensive performance is above average because their are some games they wouldn't be at their very best, so it's their defense that mostly save them, and sometimes it is very important that their defense is strong enough to close out games, so fixing their defense is one vital area of the team Carlo ancelotti needs to fix, even if it warrant him to go into the transfer market to do that.

Then as for the departure of Toni Kross, casemiro and now Luka modric that is almost done with his playing career, real madrid are not just weak in midfield, they also lack the quality that Kross especially brings to the team, because he was just like the conductor and dictator of their play, so his departure is still felt seriously in this real Madrid team even till today, so that's another area they seriously need to address in other to stay competitive in the league and in the uefa champions league.

Now Barcelona is getting closer to Real Madrid in the La Liga table. Barcelona got 38 points while Real Madrid got 43.

Ancelotti is under a lot of pressure now. Real Madrid may have managed to keep the top spot in La Liga. However, Real Madrid have conceded 9 goals in the two El Clasicos against Barcelona this season. We don't usually see Madrid losing by such a big margin.

Real Madrid have conceded 5 goals in this match. Madrid's defense was very weak in this match. Especially Mendy and Tchouameni made several important mistakes in this match. I don't know why Ancelotti experimented with Tchouameni in such an important match even though Tchouameni is not a defender. It was Ancelotti's mistake.

Also, Madrid's midfield was very weak in this match. I don't see any strong bonding between the players. I really missed Luka Modrich and Toni Kroos in the first half.

[Inwestour]

You are right. Real Madrid has not been functioning at their maximum best because of some injuries in the squad. The injuries must be addressed and I hope that Florentino Perez will be able to sanction transfers and Carlo Ancelotti will be able to bring in good and quality players not necessarily big names players but players that will add to the success of the club.

It was no secret that Real Madrid's defence was going through hard times, and it seems teams with good attack will take advantage of it until Ancelotti strengthens these defensive positions. While there is an opportunity, Ancelotti should try to get some good defenders, because with Militao and Carvajal missing, their defence is not as good as before. The defeat in the Super Cup is not critical for now, but if it can be repeated in other tournaments, it could cost Ancelotti his job as coach.
