La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Hvdv]

Arda Guler not getting that much playing time is definitely something that fans are angry about, but I also would like to point out that there are way too many players on his spot, so it makes sense that he doesn't get to play that much, the weird part is them buying him, because they knew that they had good players on that place, so why did they get him to begin with?

In reality, he isn't really a right wing, and he doesn't play right wing in Turkish national team games, and he didn't do that before he got here neither, he had a few games like that and Real saw him and liked what they saw and put him at right side mostly. Normally, he is a backup for Jude, he is more of an attacking midfieldier, and he should be playing behind the striker. As the best back up to jude, he should play whenever Jude doesn't.

However, Jude is not preferred by Ancelotti even when he is injured. Actually, we Turks are quite upset about this. We want to watch him more and Ancelotti is taking this opportunity away from us. Arda has the talent to play on the right wing but I think he should play alternately with Jude, or at least Arda should play when he is injured. I don't understand why he doesn't put Arda in the game when Ceballos has a chance in this squad.

You see in this game, I don't even know what Ardan Guler is playing, for some game now, in fact this season Guler has been playing nonsense. This night, if you are watching the game, you would definitely see that Guler is not in the game one beat. His not supposed to be on the pitch till this time if you ask me.

However, Jude is not preferred by Ancelotti even when he is injured. Actually, we Turks are quite upset about this. We want to watch him more and Ancelotti is taking this opportunity away from us. Arda has the talent to play on the right wing but I think he should play alternately with Jude, or at least Arda should play when he is injured. I don't understand why he doesn't put Arda in the game when Ceballos has a chance in this squad.

Ancelotti's monotony in choosing players is sometimes always a problem because if we look at it for now not only for Arda but some conditions in other players are the same. We can see that even though there is Raul Asencio sometimes Ancelotti always chooses Tchouameni in the defensive center position even though Tchouameni's original position is more of a defensive midfielder but Ancelotti sometimes forces him to be in the defensive center position even though it is also good for his development but in the end when this option does not work well then in the end the expected situation is too monotonous because the choice of players is just that.

For Arda's condition he has good potential regardless of where he is played I have never seen a game that is considered bad for a player of Arda's age at this time because he is quite flexible when in the attacking midfield or in the winger position it's just that when Ancelotti's scheme is still quite the same by keeping certain players because of confidence and not really seeing other player options that might be used as alternatives then the situation will not change much.

But even so I think Ancelotti may also have his own considerations even though at some moments I am also quite annoyed with what he is doing but as a Madrid fan I can only entrust the current conditions and performance to Ancelotti in order to mix the players well.

[Baki202]

Madrid had a tough time at the start of this season after injuries affected their performance and consistency, which eventually led to them slipping down the La Liga and UCL standings but thankfully they have now bounced back to the top of the table and also qualified for the playoffs, The injury to some of their star players especially in defence has made ancelotti have to maximise the current squad without any new signings in the transfer market, although it may have to work hard to maximise the potential of his squad, but I think ancelotti certainly has solutions and also experience in solving the problems they face and that's why he has been considered one of the best coaches available.

The injuries were just excuses because the key players were not affected and they were behind and Barcelona was the one shining and the whole thing now looks different and the chances are now between athletico Madrid and Real Madrid because the difference in point is just one and anything can still happen so Madrid have to be extra careful and Real Madrid defense was seriously affected but they could still manage but both there foward and there defense is been affected. And ancelotti will do everything possible to win when he still have the chance and let's see what will happen in the transfer window we are going to see who is going to be active because this have been a tough season for everyone and only few clubs are able to survive and am sure the players are waiting for this whole season to just end.

This night, if you are watching the game, you would definitely see that Guler is not in the game one beat. His not supposed to be on the pitch till this time if you ask me.

He is a very young player, we can understand if his performance isn't stable yet. Ancelotti put him on the starting line-up to replace Vinicius. It is needed to avoid injured or exhaustion of the main wingers. Sadly, Guler didn't play as expected, he couldn't give any contribution today. However, I don't think it is a bad idea to put him on the lineup. At least, he gives the time for Vini to take a rest for a moment. 

[Weawant]

Ancelotti should try and do that because he have best team and best squad this season which he doesn't have any excuse. Talking about attackers he have them, and they are really doing very well, real madrid winning laliga this season is very small compared to the way competitors are struggling to push them out of the top and the most painful part is Real Madrid is even making the work easy for them by not winning their last laliga match against Espanyol, the match that was not give too much attention due to the kind of opponents they faced, but at long the line the disappointed us.

At the beginning of the season it was assumed by many that Ancelotti had the best squad across europa and they were presented like a very feared team such that almost ever team who met them literally had at the back of their mind some fears to nurse in the fact that they were the best and and favourite most of the times but then the team suffered a set back which later they have recovered from and are probably now beginning to do better so I'm still confident they are going to be a better team.

Real Madrid will face Leganés today in the single league of the Super Copa del Rey qualifiers. In today's match, we can be pretty sure that this match is very important for Real Madrid and they will definitely qualify for the next round in this match. If Real Madrid can enter the semi-finals by winning against the opposing team today, then they will have a chance to face Atletico Madrid in the next match. And I believe that in this match, Real Madrid will not play their game normally but will play strongly to qualify for the semi-finals, and Real Madrid will definitely win this match.

I believe Madrid is the favorite in this game, because I don't see which magic Leganes will perform to defeat Madrid and qualify to the semifinals. If Real Madrid uses their second choice of players mixed up with few first eleven players, they will still win the game. However, the semifinals clash with Atletico will be a torque of war for both teams. Let's see how the game ends this evening.

Real Madrid will eat Leganes like popcorn in that match; they will actually pay for the humiliation that Real Madrid received in their last match because Madrid cannot afford to lose two straight matches even though both are not on the same tournament. If they win Leganes tonight, even though it is Copa del Rey, it can be a form of consolation for Madrid. If I were Ancelotti, I will use my best team to play the match to avoid any form of loss because that can damage the players mentality which will affect several serious matches ahead.

Although it is normal to win against Leganés, when i start to watching the match the current performance and score certainly do not send a good message for Real Madrid. If they cannot win against this team, it will be a shame for them and it will certainly not send a good message for the whole team. The team members can certainly break down mentally. In the match in 89' Leganés 2 ‍Real Madrid 2 means that the match will end in a draw, which I never expected. I would say that Real Madrid's situation is gradually weakening. What will Carlo Ancelotti say to the fans if the match ends in a draw? But the funny thing is that Real Madrid came out on top in the final moments. Gonzalo Garcia scored the winning goal in the 90+3 minutes.

[Adbitco]

Gonzalo García saves Real Madrid on the night to avoid a repeat of what happened between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo two weeks ago. Gonzalo jumps high to head home the cross from Diaz to make it 2 - 3 at the dead of added time after 90 minutes. This goal just prevented us from watching another 30 minutes of extra time on the night.

[red4slash]

Madrid managed to advance to the Copa del Rey semi-finals after today defeating Leganes with a score of 2-3 which is clearly an interesting thing for the semi-finals later because currently apart from the two Madrid there are still Barcelona who will compete later and of course Sociedad or Osasuna which is possible to become a dark horse in the semi-finals later.

This Madrid match is quite interesting for me because due to injury problems some players make Ancelotti rack his brains for player rotation and the option is clearly the young players from Castila who are given the opportunity to make a breakthrough in a bigger competition.

At least apart from a few youngsters like Arda, Endrick in this match there are some returning Castila players where Raul Asencio who is still comfortable to be in Madrid in this season plus some players like Jacobo Ramon and Gonzalo Garcia are also given more opportunities for today's match.
It's a good thing for some of the younger players because having the chance to play for the senior club will definitely improve their experience and exposure.

I really didn't want the game to go extra time and that's because I actually predicted them to win via full time and I must say I was a little disappointed when the score was 2-2 although I understand Real Madrid have been struggling and that's why for every reason wanted them to win this game and knew they would win. I hope this gives them momentum to play over the weekend again because that last week' defeat was really something else.

[TelolettOm]

The game is getting more amazing before the end of the first half, in which Real Madrid was able to score two strong and amazing goals, but Leganés was also able to score a penalty goal after getting a chance after Ramos did a handball. Although Leganes Strike is also good, I don’t think they will find it easy to win against Real Madrid, even though I don’t have that much hope for them to win.goals and win the game because all my hope is already on them, and if they lose, I will not be happy because my money is on them to win this game.

Ancelotti decided not to include Mbappe and Bellingham in the Copa del Rey match against Leganes. But after seeing the results, hmm, they even had a hard time achieving victory, fortunately there was a last goal from Garcia, he was the savior of this match so that the match ended 2-3 with Real Madrid's victory.

but indeed, seen from the statistics, this is quite down and not that good. Ball possession can be balanced by Leganes. So are the attacks and defense. So many attacks, but the comparison with the number of goals is too small. Bellingham as a ball control is indeed that crucial position. Check this data:

What a great effort by Real Madrid; they worked hard and scored the winning goal at the end, advancing to the next round. I'm not sure why Real Madrid consistently performs well in the first half but poorly in the second leg. From 2-0 to 2-2. I am confident that the game will end in a draw since I see the opponents already playing defensive games in order to avenge themselves and achieve the same aim.Let's see how they do in the league this weekend. I will want that all of their key players are back before the derby match against Athletico Madrid because the game will be challenging and if Madrid players are not back from injured, I don't think Real Madrid can achieve three point against Athletico Madrid this weekend. Athletico Madrid are in a better shap and if Mbappe Rudiger Bellingham and not back from injured against Athletico Madrid, he will be very hard for Madrid to win the game. And if Ancelotti don't win ther next game he will be a tough challenge for them because Athletico Madrid can probably overtake them in the league and he will be hard for them to win games and overtake in the league table.

The match between Leganes Vs Real Madrid is under way, Real Madrid with the backline of Mendy, Jacobo Ramón, Ascensio and Valverde. It's really going to be a shaky defence tonight for Real Madrid. Just after a minute then Real Madrid keeper was forced into a wonderful save as the Leganes striker blasted a shot on his way. Nice save from Lunin though.

The game is getting more amazing before the end of the first half, in which Real Madrid was able to score two strong and amazing goals, but Leganés was also able to score a penalty goal after getting a chance after Ramos did a handball. Although Leganes Strike is also good, I don’t think they will find it easy to win against Real Madrid, even though I don’t have that much hope for them to win.

It’s already halftime, and I hope the second half is the best for Real Madrid in order for them to get more goals and win the game because all my hope is already on them, and if they lose, I will not be happy because my money is on them to win this game.

The game already ended, and Real Madrid won the game. Although I already said that even if Real Madrid wins the game, they must play with their best players and best performance, and that is what they did; they won against Leganes 2-3, and this is good enough even though Leganes pressured them. Ancelotti did use Mbappe in this match. I was already given up because I thought Real Madrid would not win the match, but unfortunately they did their best to win. Congratulations to them as they advance to the semi-finals.

Although Real Madrid is currently at the top of the standings and sometimes gets defeats that should not have happened, but Real Madrid will still be a candidate team for the title. No matter the situation and problems in the Real Madrid squad, because basically Real Madrid also has a very good  winning mentality. Thus, it is not surprising that when the situation and condition of Real Madrid are not entirely good, but Real Madrid still managed to get good results. However, for the next La Liga and Champions League matches,  Real Madrid are faced with difficult opponents, because Real Madrid will play against Atletico and then Real Madrid will play away against Manchester City  in the Champions League.

You can't be so sure of that yet.. fine they might be among the string candidate this time around but they need to maintain  the position if they want it ,  the gap isn't that much between Athletico and they both have an outstanding game. Barcelona on the other hand could catch up if they flop again (Realmadrid) and if that  happen then Barcelona might not leave the top( if eventually same happend to Athletico) as they will try every means to secure enough point ahead of both teams so for sure realmadrid could be but we can't be so sure of it with their little surprises

Congratulations to Real Madrid on this win, but I am not comfortable with Madrid team as they are performing like this, they can lose game at any point because their performance has not been because they lost their last Laliga match against a team they are supposed to win, and all these are as a result of poor defense and mismanagement, but as Ancelotti has started given these young talented players chance, they are saving the team now which is very good and it will save his job.

Yes Real Madrid was able to restore my joy tonight after I almost gave up seeing how they came from 0:2 to playing 2:2, at this point I think Real Madrid players needs to count themselves lucky because they can't be conceding goals from every team they encounter this is really bad for the team. G. García became the savior of his team tonight after converting
 the cross of B. Díaz to set his team ahead of Leganes and to give them the golden goal which takes them to the next round which is the Copa del Rey semi finals. Real Madrid would have gone for extra time with Leganes but the goal decided the team to progress to the next round and I think Real Madrid deserves the win.

Seriously, it was really a disappointing result before the winning goal, A team like Leganes shouldn't be coming back from 2 - 0 against a team like Real Madrid to making it 2 - 2, seriously I was really disappointed and in the manner at which the goals were conceded. But at least, they won and advanced to the next phase of the competition. To be frank, Real Madrid doesn't have a defense line and that's what the opponent will capitalise on in their upcoming coming matches.

Arda Guler not getting that much playing time is definitely something that fans are angry about, but I also would like to point out that there are way too many players on his spot, so it makes sense that he doesn't get to play that much, the weird part is them buying him, because they knew that they had good players on that place, so why did they get him to begin with?

Alright, to begin with, if Ancelotti is to play Arda Guler as right winger there is Rodrygo and Lucas Vázquez that can settle fine in that very position, and then let say he is to be played as a midfielder the list of available key players  like Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and not to mention Luka Modrić etc are available in that position, of which Arda Guler was aware of before accepting to sign for Real Madrid knowingfully that he is likely not going to have much playing time in the team. But guess what? Almost every player wants to wear the Real Madrid shirt it's a dream for many irrespective of the unavailability of playing time.

Arda Guler is just 19 years, I think he still has much time,band would definitely win a regular playing time if he gets to be patient and consistent with his form in the team.

It was quite interesting how the match went, and I didn't expect Leganes to put up such a strong fight against Real Madrid, even when Leganes was already two goals behind from the start against Real Madrid, Juan Crez managed to score two goals against Real Madrid so that the score was equal, before finally Leganes had to lose its consistency when the match was almost over, as you said that right in the 90+3 minute, Gonzalo managed to score the winning goal for Real Madrid.

And with this Real Madrid managed to catch up with Atletico Madrid who had already reached the semifinals. And now we just have to wait for the match between Real Sociedad VS Osasuna and Barcelona VS Valancia. And of course I prefer Real Sociedad and Barcelona who are in the semifinals following Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

Men! This match against Leganes was a heart-stopper. When Leganes scored, making it 2-1, I got nervous, knowing their reputation for surprising teams in cup games. Thankfully, Real Madrid hung on, saving my bet and potentially a big payout!

The game exposed Real Madrid's defensive weaknesses, but their offense ultimately prevailed.
All thanks to Gonzalo García!
His stunning goal saved the day for Real Madrid, securing a 3-2 win and saving your bet!
