La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Iranus]

Ancelotti is trying to increase the experience of the young players in his squad. In this match, Ancelotti has kept Rodrygo, Arda Guller and Endrick in the squad. Although Rodrygo gets a regular place in Madrid's starting XI, Arda Guller and Endrick do not get a chance in Madrid's starting XI. Along with the young players, Ancelotti has kept experienced players like Modrich in the squad in this match.

Madrid did not play very well, but Real Madrid won the match. If Madrid's defense was strong, I would have said Madrid played well. Real Madrid won 3-2 in a misunderstanding. However, it is proven that Madrid has been able to find some talented young players. They will be able to strengthen Madrid's squad in the future.

As usual, Ancelotti often mixes young players with some senior players in the squad, but in this match I think it didn't go smoothly despite the victory they achieved, but in terms of performance, Real Madrid was quite bad in the second half until they conceded 2 goals, but fortunately there was a goal at the end of the match to ensure victory for Real Madrid.

Overall, there are many things that Ancelotti needs to fix, not only their defense, but the team's game is not well organized when Ancelotti rotates players and this is not a good thing for a team as big as Real Madrid who are targeting several trophies in several competitions, I think they will not be able to achieve it if the team's consistency is not there when rotating players.

Ancelotti is experimenting more with the young players in his squad. There is no doubt that the players are talented enough. However, it is not yet certain whether they will be able to play well against the big teams. Sometimes we see that the performance of young players deteriorates under excessive pressure. This is why Arda Guller and Endrick are talented but Ancelotti is not giving them a chance in the starting XI. Hopefully, we will see these two players with the Madrid squad regularly next season.

It was nice to see both of Arda Güler and Endrick on the field.    Ancelotti really doesn't give these young talents much time. I know it is difficult when you have a squad full of star attackers on the front.

But still sometimes Ancelotti is just obstinate anyway even when it makes sense to sub them in earlier in league games. When it comes to the game, Real Madrid couldn't get an easy win despite getting 2-0 ahead. I didn't like Arda Güler's performance. He didn't play very offensive this time. He returned back instead of making runs towards the opponent's goal a lot. I wonder whether Ancelotti gave him such role for this game. If it is the case then it is very meaningless considering Arda is much more effective in his natural role.

[Out of mind]

I thought Real Madrid would win easily but it turned out that Real Madrid was quite careless by allowing Leganes to equalize with 2 goals in the 2nd half only in the minutes of added time Gonzalo García scored a goal to ensure victory in Madrid's hands he was Real Madrid's savior in this match Ancelotti really could play his tactics by bringing in this player with little time left and he took advantage of the good momentum.
I won my bet this time and was quite satisfied because the odds were quite high.

Yeah Leganes did give a fight, but as I said before Real Madrid were playing with their second line up, not surprising to see Leganes can create chance and score 2 goals. One of the goal was a mistake created by Jacobo Ramon.

Real Madrid shouldn't use their second line up anymore in the next match, it's already semi final.

But, anyway nice win bro, congratulations.

In this match, Real Madrid used their second line, which led to them conceding two goals, but in the end they managed to attack well and win. However, since Real Madrid have qualified for the semi-finals, they must play with their best squad for the next match. Although the next match is going to be difficult for Real Madrid, they need to improve their line-up and their game as well, for the semi-finals.

Although the next match is going to be difficult for Real Madrid, they need to improve their line-up and their game as well, for the semi-finals.

Well, in that match Ancelotti didn't immediately use the best squad that Real Madrid had. Because several second tier players were given the opportunity to play first in this match. So it is not surprising that Real Madrid did not look optimal in this match. Because they didn't use their maximum strength. But in the end Real Madrid still won and will advance to the semi-finals. And yes, in the semi-finals, Real Madrid will most likely immediately use their best squad. because in the semi-finals of course the match will feel more difficult. And it could be that Real Madrid will face Barcelona or Atletico Madrid. So of course Ancelotti will also use their best players.

Real Madrid had a hard time away against Leganes in the quarter-final match of the King's Cup. More precisely, the Leganes goalkeeper had difficulty passing Soriano. They finished the first half leading 1-2, but Leganes made the score 2-2 in the 59th minute. Gonzalo, who came into the game instead of Endrick, scored the winning goal at 90+3. Ancelotti's move brought the match.

I won my bet this time and was quite satisfied because the odds were quite high.

We cannot expect Real Madrid to have an easy game against Leganes, even in La Liga, Real Madrid is the only big team that has defeated them this season. Leganes defeated Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the league game, and Real Madrid should easily beat them when they use their second-line players. After conceding the second goal, Real Madrid find difficult to score the winning goal. But thanks to Gonzalo García came off the bench to secure the victory on his debut for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid shouldn't use their second line up anymore in the next match, it's already semi final.

Real Madrid used their second-tier players due to the several injured players; if Mbappe and Bellingham were fit to play against Leganes, some of the young players would not have been allowed to play, and I doubt they will play in the semifinals. Perhaps Ancelotti decided to keep the players for their upcoming derby battle against Atletico Madrid, which is a must to win.

Ancelotti is preparing for more important matches that Real Madrid will face in just a few days, so it is understandable why he gave some key players a rest for this match. Real Madrid could have been expected to concede in this match, and they could have been expected to win, but I would not have dared to bet on them to win given their squad, we could well have seen a draw. Then there is a crucial match with Atletico and City, the playoffs have started in the Champions League, there is no room for error there.

Real Madrid playing with their second lineup was well thought of by Ancelotti before he allowed that. Ancelotti believes that Leganes isn't worth playing with the first team of Real Madrid; they are below Real Madrid's first team. Giving the second team the playing ground to showcase their worth and talent is not a bad idea. At least they had the job done, to deliver victory for Real Madrid.

In the next round of Copa del Rey, I am sure Ancelotti will choose to play the second lineup of Real Madrid. He will play for Real Madrid's first team because the team Real Madrid will play against will be a tougher team than Leganes

Although Rodrygo gets a regular place in Madrid's starting XI, Arda Guller and Endrick do not get a chance in Madrid's starting XI. Along with the young players, Ancelotti has kept experienced players like Modrich in the squad in this match.

Ancelotti career was truly saved by young players from the academy. Without Gonzalo Garcia's goal, Madrid would probably have been far from the Copa del Rey trophy. Now that they have qualified, it doesn't mean the journey is getting easier, because Atletico Madrid is ready to be a nightmare if Madrid fails to win.

Imo, Ancelotti trust in academy players must be increased, the proof is now Brahim Diaz performed brilliantly against Leganes and Gonzalo Garcia goal contribution should have made Ancelotti aware to give more space to academy players.

However, it is proven that Madrid has been able to find some talented young players. They will be able to strengthen Madrid's squad in the future.

Because this competition is not a priority for Real Madrid and because the opponents they face are of a not very strong level, Ancelotti has made a step which is actually quite good if the aim is to provide experience for young players or second tier players who rarely get playing time in other big competitions such as the UCL. So in the Copa del Rey Ancelotti can give opportunities to players who rarely get playing time. And yes, the quality of the attack line is still quite good. The only weakness is in the back line.

What really makes me curious is the next match that Real Madrid will face in Laliga, namely against Atletico Madrid. I'm curious whether Real Madrid's current condition can still be superior to Atletico Madrid or not. I hope Real Madrid wins. but I dare not favorite it. because Atletico Madrid is also in pretty good form at the moment.

I think they are more hopeful for next season. However, if Ancelotti does not give Endrick and Arda Güler enough chance, the players may want to transfer to another team. In this case, I think Real Madrid will be at a disadvantage. Because these players are 19 years old and they want their future to be in Real Madrid. It is not easy for these players to find a place. Right now, they can be on the field as the first 11 players in any team in the world.

It is indeed time for Ancelotti to have more trust in Real Madrid's academy players this season because after all they can also contribute quite well to save Real Madrid in any competition and that has been proven as you said. But in the next match in the Copa Del Rey, of course Real Madrid must develop more in terms of their defense and attack because Atletico Madrid is a much tougher opponent than the Leganes team that was defeated by Madrid yesterday.

[Mustang Shelby]

In that match, Real Madrid did not field the main squad and the back row was also filled by two defenders who did not have sufficient flying hours. However, regardless of the many goals conceded by Madrid lately, it was indeed because the crisis in the back line was very severe. Of course, the victory was an important capital and became motivation for the team to return to the path of victory.

Real Madrid's victory in the Copa Del Rey competition was not surprising, but conceding two goals into Real Madrid's goal by one of Leganes' players was a little surprising because an opponent like Leganes should not have to concede goals for a team like Real Madrid. However, because every victory is very useful for the Madrid team in the Copa Del Rey competition which adopts a knockout system, it is clear that it should not be a problem as long as Madrid's progress has not stopped in a competition like that this season.

Leganes scored two goals against Real Madrid and I think they made the most productive score of the match for themselves. I think scoring against Real Madrid made them feel a little happy in the match they lost. We knew they were a tough team and they showed it once again by making Real Madrid struggle. Real Madrid advanced to the next round in Copa Del Rey. Barcelona will play Valencia today. Also, Real Sociedad will host Osasuna and the quarterfinals will end.

[Docnaster]

Yesterday, Real Madrid had to fight hard to beat Leganes and progress to the semi finals of the Copa Del Rey. After the match, journalists asked Carlo Ancelotti what he thinks of Vinicius Jr's altercation with Luka Modric and the Italian manager said "Modric was angry with Vinicius? I don't know what happened but if Modric said something then it's correct... Always agree with Modric".

Spanish sports tabloid Marca later reported that Modric was asking Vinicius Jr to help the team's defense when Leganes had a corner few minutes to the end of the match but the Brazilian winger wasn't having it so it led to a serious argument between the duo on the pitch. This was coming after same Vinicius Jr had an altercation with Dani Ceballos in Real Madrid's last league game at Espanyol.

It seems Vinicius Jr now thinks he's too big for anyone at the club to correct him or direct on what to do. If that's the case, I think it'll affect the progress of Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid. He really needs to stay humble and learn from senior players of the team. What's your take on the issue?

If there had been no goal in the extra time, there could have been difficult times for Real Madrid. Because they would have fought harder to score and could have left open positions behind. Although their opponents in the cup match seemed weak, they played a game that showed that no team in Spain should be underestimated. I think they deserve congratulations and forced Real Madrid to take the lead with two goals. If they had had a little luck, they probably could have eliminated Real Madrid.

In this match, Real Madrid used their second line, which led to them conceding two goals, but in the end they managed to attack well and win. However, since Real Madrid have qualified for the semi-finals, they must play with their best squad for the next match. Although the next match is going to be difficult for Real Madrid, they need to improve their line-up and their game as well, for the semi-finals.

Well, in that match Ancelotti didn't immediately use the best squad that Real Madrid had. Because several second tier players were given the opportunity to play first in this match. So it is not surprising that Real Madrid did not look optimal in this match. Because they didn't use their maximum strength. But in the end Real Madrid still won and will advance to the semi-finals. And yes, in the semi-finals, Real Madrid will most likely immediately use their best squad. because in the semi-finals of course the match will feel more difficult. And it could be that Real Madrid will face Barcelona or Atletico Madrid. So of course Ancelotti will also use their best players.

Anceloti won't want to gamble the semi-finals. He will obviously use his best squad. If Madrid should face Atletico they might find an easy win but Barcelona will be a big problem for them, but for sure this will be a game where Anceloti will use his best players so he avoids gambling it or making a mistake of being knocked out in the semi finals of Copa de Rey.

Even though using the second tier players was a risky one for Anceloti to do I believe he was able to draw the conclusion he needed so that he knows how to fill in players incase of injuries, suspension and match ban. Sometimes coaches do weird things to test the competence of this second team and know who to include in the first 11 or a better substitute.

Until the end of the match, the team had no hope of winning. I am sure that if they had lost the match, there would have been a lot of criticism about them in La Liga. Leganes, no way comparable to Real Madrid. According to the points table, the team is very weak. But the challenge they created was particularly attractive to all the fans. There was confidence in Real Madrid. If there had been a draw in extra time, they would have had a much harder time later. I would definitely agree that no team should be underestimated. It was certainly not easy for Real to equalize when they scored two goals in the beginning. Their performance is certainly appreciable.

[SmartCharpa]

It seems Vinicius Jr now thinks he's too big for anyone at the club to correct him or direct on what to do. If that's the case, I think it'll affect the progress of Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid. He really needs to stay humble and learn from senior players of the team. What's your take on the issue?

To be honest, I don't agree with Vinicuis' attitude, I dislike the way he behaves since he usually gets into a fight with the referee, but I always imagined it was because some referees failed to award a foul to him. Vinicuis' attitude is getting out of hand; the player is getting more rude, and he has no respect for any of his teammates; at least, if he can't respect any of his teammates, he could have respected Modric, the team's oldest and most legendary player. If Vinicuis had won the Ballon d'Or, I am confident he would no longer be respected in football, and I doubt he will be nominated again with his current attitude.

Furthermore, Rodrygo is the most underestimated player I've ever seen; if you watch a Madrid game this season, you'd prefer to see him start over Vinicuis. I'm not sure why Ancelotti would subbed him off so early in the second half of the game, possibly because of the next game in a few days, but it would have been better if Rodrygo had played the entire minute since I don't understand Vinicuis work during the game.

[Palakka]

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.

Yes Madrid has a big enough problem besides injuries, they also have a problem in the front line because their attackers are not so cohesive after the arrival of Mbappe. But Ancelotti is very aware of that, he will still try his best to restore the best performance for his team. I am still optimistic that Madrid is still a strong candidate in La Liga, Ancelotti will fight for it in order to close his career perfectly with el real.

Madrid condition is indeed quite pathetic after several of their defenders were injured at the start of the season, losing several major players has actually made them in an unstable condition that makes it difficult to compete in the UCL and also La Liga at the beginning of the season, but with the limitations of the squad owned by Ancelotti, he was able to maximise the potential of his squad to be able to top the current standings in La Liga and also qualify for the UCL playoffs at this time,  mbappe arrival did provide disharmony in the attacking line and which was seen if there was competition that occurred individually between mbappe and vinicius, but so far we can see how mbappe can finally can be integrated into the squad and continue to be ancelotti mainstay and also consistent in his play, a firm attitude and also the ability possessed by ancelotti in managing the egos of star players is certainly the reason chemistry in their attacking line is formed today.

Yea Carlo anceloti wouldn't want to joke with the semi-finals but both Athletico Madrid and Barcelona wouldn't be an easy crack for him, they current peak of Athletico Madrid isnt a joke so facing them may be a problem for Carlo anaceloti team, if they meet Barcelona it will be another problem because Barca may end up beating them again, with what's on ground though Realmadrid is a good side but there going to finals of the copa de Rey is still not certain yet.

They were lucky to have won laganese, though I understand the manager calculations and thats why I said they were lucky to have won that match, they were winning 2:0 outrightly before leganese equalized they game but fortunately for Real Madrid the added one more goal in the injury time, though it was also experience and supremacy at work for them but the game ahead in regards to this cup may look very daisy for them though let's see how events unfold.
