La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[bastisisca]

This season Real Madrid's performance is not so consistent maybe they are having problems with the injury conditions of some of their mainstay players. Carlo Ancelotti is also aware of the things that make his team no longer so solid but strangely the management did not move at all in the transfer window. I still believe Madrid is a strong candidate to be the champion this season even though their performance is not so good. Atletico is also a strong competitor besides Barcelona but Madrid is still Madrid they also have experience and they will not give up easily.

We know it, even the stones know it. But i must say that the coach has managed very well.
In Italy a few years ago for such a thing Juventus is literally collapsed on herself with a coach, Max Allegri, who did not know what fish to take.
In the end the problem passed, but not without damage.

~Snip~

Lamine Yamal is only 17 years old and plays regularly for Barcelona, he only doesn't play in case of injury and he also plays regularly for the Spanish national team. I'm a Real Madrid fan, but I don't think it's right to sign players who just sit on the bench. Look at the consequences of not making everyone play regularly Is that today Real Madrid came close to drawing, they couldn't win easily.

Ancelotti is too doubtful of the talent of young players, he rarely plays Arda Guler and Endrick in big matches, they should be given the opportunity to play to hone their mentality and feel the sensation of facing great players from the opposing team.
On the other hand, Yamal has become a regular player in the Barcelona squad, his position is very difficult to replace because of the great talent he has. Arda Guler and Endrick might be able to reach Yamal's level if they get the trust of the coach.

For someone that have been watching Spanish La liga for sometime now you should know that Ancelotti isn't one of those coaches that believes in giving too many directives to the players while on the field of play. He believes the players knows the best decisions to take on the pitch base on their wealth of experience without him have to shout in somewhat ways and that's why he prefers mature older players to play more than the younger players in Real Madrid games, and more often than not it has always given him  the expected results.

For Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, we should also consider that there are no better available options at Barcelona in the position of Yamal as it is in Real Madrid for Arda Guler and Endrick. If there were more better players with much experience then the probability is Yamal wouldn't have been given such playing time opportunity as he initially started out in Barcelona at his age.

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.

I agree with all you said and it is indeed a dream for many to be among the Madrid squad, even if you don't play but being part of the club is a big thing to some. Some of these players who are still young like Arda Guler have that hungry to make a statement for him self, they want to be in the spotlight and they'd like the world to see what they are made of and sitting on the bench is like they want more than just putting on that jersey  and sitting on the bench.
It would be bad that the player doesn't play well or contribute to the team and still wants to have that playing time, you'd agree with me that Arda Guler is a good player and a great addition to the team, he delivers when given the opportunity and with all these being said you don't expect him to constantly sit on the bench and feel comfortable, he'd ask questions. The squad have so many replacement so I don't feel it would be easy for him to always see playing time it will be the manager who doesn't feel like playing him if not I see him as a better starter like Rodrygo.

Arda Guler is an enrichment to the Real Madrid squad which am not cancelling that fact because severally time's he has been given the shortest opportunity he has always proven himself worth the playing time but reality is that there were bigger boys already competing in that position even before he arrived. Now, this is one of the mistakes some young players do make, thereby struggling to be found in the spotlight. Eden Hazard made similar mistake leaving Chelsea to Real Madrid and couldn't have a regular playing time due to the competition in the squad and that was how he stayed on the bench more than he played in his entire time at Real Madrid. However, I don't see Arda Guler's in same situation since he's still very young.

[Frankolala]

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 might not be next season but we will see them soon because they're Madrid future first eleven. There are some matches that is above these young players experience, and that's why you see that the big boys are always the ones feauturing in those matches. The only young talented player that is more experienced and plays with big players without having any problem is Lamin Yamal.

[Marvell1]

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.

I would say that if Madrid face Barcelona or Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals, then the team will probably not be able to qualify for the final. I say this because Ancelotti's main target at the moment is to do well in the Champions League and La Liga.

If Real Madrid wants to keep the top spot in La Liga, they will have to win consistently. Otherwise, Madrid will not be able to keep the top spot in the table. Also, Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the Champions League play-offs. So I doubt that Ancelotti will give his full effort in the Copa Del Rey match.

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 have to praise Leganes performance today, they played differently and were able to make Real Madrid struggle even though they lost, on the other hand Ancelotti entrusted this match to young players with Modric as a balancer and playmaker, and the result was very satisfying Endrick, Arda and Gonzalo Garcia played like main players, I have to say Ancelotti needs to add more playing minutes to them.
With this result Real followed Atletico in the semifinals, 2 slots left and will be contested by Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Real Sociedad and Osasuna today.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

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.

To be honest I would never say that Real Madrid performed significantly in this match, we found that they were very aggressive in the beginning at that time Modric and young player Endrick scored two goals in a short period of time. In this match we expected a much more better performance from Real Madrid, we thought they might be able to dominate the match and defeat the opponent very easily. But this simple match made Real Madrid very difficult. Since Real Madrid have qualified for the semifinal, they will have to do very good performance in the next match that may be very important for them.

[bering]

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.

Both players has decide to ended their conflict but Modric has been says it's a common thing that happens in high tension matches so it's not a big deal but Ancelotti try to defend Modric that he said Modrid as senior player in this team and if Vinicius did a mistakes he have to showing good attitude by accept the criticism from other players especially from senior player

Vinicius should be change his attitude because it won't be good for the team and the fans is really upset to Vinicius because they feel Vinicius is too arrogant i think Vinicius should emulate what Mbappe did because Mbappe known as selfish player in PSG but Mbappe can change his attitude and in Real Madrid he can work as a team not selfish anymore

[Callido]

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.

There are some matches that is above these young players experience, and that's why you see that the big boys are always the ones feauturing in those matches. The only young talented player that is more experienced and plays with big players without having any problem is Lamin Yamal.

If he should bench Guller and Endrick in this manner by next season, it will only cause their performance to decline, the young stars needs quality time on the pitch, this is something they hardly get as of now which we understand probably because Madrid are currently in a tight space to win their usual trophies but the more they are benched frequently for any of them who would prefer getting involved in more matches than just sitting and waiting for others to play and contribute to more tittles will be compelled in a way to move out the club. They are young future of Madrid, but i also believe they still need  more experience so in the departure of the current players filling the position they can contribute massively and not using that period to build.

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.

If Real Madrid wants to keep the top spot in La Liga, they will have to win consistently. Otherwise, Madrid will not be able to keep the top spot in the table. Also, Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the Champions League play-offs. So I doubt that Ancelotti will give his full effort in the Copa Del Rey match.

In fact, Real Madrid really wants to get the Copa Del Rey trophy because it's been a long time since they got this trophy and without this trophy they won't be able to get a treble winner. So I think Ancelotti won't differentiate which trophy he wants to chase, he will definitely consider all trophies important. Sure enough, the Copa del Rey line-up is definitely on the side of young players because this is an opportunity for them to show their abilities and it was proven last night the young players managed to score a saving goal at the end of the match that made Real Madrid win.

If later Real Madrid has to face Barcelona or Atletico Madrid in the semifinals, of course Ancelotti will field the best players he has. Regarding La Liga and the UCL League, of course it remains their main focus too, but I think Ancelotti will also focus on the Copa del Rey trophy this season. Now Ancelotti has to prepare the team to face tough matches in the next two matches because they will face Atletico Madrid in La Liga and Manchester City in the UCL League. Ancelotti must prepare a strategy for these two matches carefully, if Real Madrid can win this match I think Real Madrid's potential to get a tribe winner is wide open for this season.

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.

With this result Real followed Atletico in the semifinals, 2 slots left and will be contested by Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Real Sociedad and Osasuna today.

Yeah they deserve the praises, we all know that Madrid is a very big team infact one of the best globally and it's not best therefore it's not very easy to play against them, talk more of a weaker team like Leganes playing them, they really tried to equalize after Modric and Endrick scored the first two goals and pressured Madrid till the extra minute of the full time when they managed to make it 3. Anyways, whether they played with much of their younger player or not it's very clear that Real Madrid have lots of talented youngersters, Endrick and Guler are very good prospects, Rodrygo is a proven veteran player and they still had experienced first team players like Mendy and Valverde that started alongside Modric so  Real Madrid where favourites to win that match regardless of whether some senior team players where rested or not. Real Madrid would need to be more tougher when they meet Atletico, it's going to be a tough match so they shouldn't miss lots of chances like they did against Leganes and even try to be more better defensively, well they play with their best players so the defence should be better.

[Akbarkoe]

............................

It's true that the match was very interesting and I personally didn't think that Leganes would put up such a good fight and of course I was also betting on Real Madrid because I was sure that Real Madrid would win, but I was also nervous when Leganes managed to equalize, but fortunately I was successful in betting because Garcia was the hero in the last minute for Real Madrid.

but yes, to be honest, I also admit that Leganes really cannot be taken lightly because they have a good mentality. Of course, when they are behind by a goal, of course it is usually very difficult to recover, but yes, here Leganes put up a strong fight and Crez's performance was really impressive, he was really great.

Yes, now Real Madrid is very lucky to be able to enter the semi-finals and Atletico has of course been waiting and it seems I also predict the same as you because I also predict that Barcelona and Real Sociedad will qualify for the next semi-final because the quality of their game is better than Valencia and Osasuna. but yeah, we'll see.

In the next Laliga match Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid and honestly I hope that in that match Real Madrid can be confident against Atletico Madrid because they won against Leganes in the Copa del Rey.

It is hard to believe Leganes' performance in that match, because if you look at their position in La Liga, Real Madrid is at the top of the standings, while Leganes is only in 16th position. Roughly, of course it should be quite easy for Real Madrid to beat Leganes in the quarter-finals of Capo del Rey. However, football is not like that, even though both teams have different strengths, but when they are on the field, then anything can still happen outside of what we have expected. With Leganes being able to touch the quarter-finals, it shows that Leganes is a strong opponent for Real Madrid, even though in the end Leganes had to lose.

As for the match between Barcelona and Valencia, the match will start soon and is only a matter of hours. And so is the match between Real Sociedad and Osasuna.

Meanwhile, regarding the meeting between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the 23rd week of La Liga, this is a very important match and of course very much awaited by the fans, because through this match it will determine who will really be at the top of the standings for a while.

[Adams0001]

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.

I won't complain about Real Madrid's performance yesterday against Leganes, because the defense line was not complete and they just managed to play the game in that way, but because the strikers are good, he converts the defense performance. Real Madrid always concedes goals in the Copa del Rey because even in their last game before meeting Leganes, they were leading by two goals and then they conceded goals, forcing them to go to extra time with the team. if not of the young defence madrid should have still go to extra time and anything can happen in that rounds. Ancelotti is determined to achieve the goal and advance to the next round of the competition, despite the fact that some of his players have been injured. I believe that Ancelotti will keep some of his players because of the game against Athletico Madrid this weekend. If Ancelotti plays as he did against Leganes with Athletico Madrid, I am confident that Athletico Madrid will win in the game because there performancewas very low against Leganes.

The Real Madrid team hdad son young players such as Jacobo Ramón, Endrick and Arda Güler who are not consistent first-team players. I see the match as a means by which coach Carlo Ancelotti give the young players the platform to play and develop. Looking at the game statistics it's clear that Real Madrid didn't perform badly. They had more shots on target proving that they would have scored more goals. I think Real would have done better if top players had played the game. But the most important thing is that they won the game and qualified for the semifinals. And giving these young players the chance to play gives them the notion that they have a future in the club.

In Europe right now, I believe Real Madrid has all of the greatest players in the league, it's just that Ancelotti is gradually introducing them to the team they don't always get full minutes on the pitch. Arda Guler is a key player that any team would like to have because whenever he enters the pitch, you know he is there. If Ancelotti simply does his best to pass all of these difficult games and win them, the rest will be easy because the injured players will return and help the team. Real Madrid's current challenging games are against Athletico Madrid and Manchester City. And they truly need to achieve all the point in the both games in the all competitions. If they fail to defeat Guadiola they will be out in the ucl, and in the laliga too if they fail to win or draw against Athletico Madrid Ancelotti will be in danger and they will surely overtake madrid in the league table, so they need to try more so that they can qualify to the round 16 in the ucl.

[Awaklara]

Meanwhile, regarding the meeting between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the 23rd week of La Liga, this is a very important match and of course very much awaited by the fans, because through this match it will determine who will really be at the top of the standings for a while.

maybe the match against Atletico was also Ancelotti's consideration to bench Vinicius and prefer to play Endrick and Guler from the first half in the match against Leganes. the result was quite good with Endrick scoring.
however, Madrid will face a tough match against Atletico and also Man City. Of course, Ancelotti will prepare his players as best as possible for maximum results. because Madrid's defeat in their last match in La Liga has resulted in their current position in the standings being very unsafe. the competition with Atletico will really continue.

[hahay]

This season Real Madrid's performance is not so consistent maybe they are having problems with the injury conditions of some of their mainstay players. Carlo Ancelotti is also aware of the things that make his team no longer so solid but strangely the management did not move at all in the transfer window. I still believe Madrid is a strong candidate to be the champion this season even though their performance is not so good. Atletico is also a strong competitor besides Barcelona but Madrid is still Madrid they also have experience and they will not give up easily.

We know it, even the stones know it. But i must say that the coach has managed very well.
In Italy a few years ago for such a thing Juventus is literally collapsed on herself with a coach, Max Allegri, who did not know what fish to take.
In the end the problem passed, but not without damage.

Real Madrid have a very good management and a squad with a winning mentality, so I don't think it's right to equate Real Madrid with other teams. After all, Real Madrid are consistent in winning trophies every season, they may fail in La Liga, but they can still succeed in the Champions League and also in the Copa Del Rey. Unlike other teams, although other teams in different leagues have great dominance in their domestic leagues, but they often fail  in the Champions League, while Real Madrid is the team with the most trophies in the Champions League  and not only  in La Liga.

So yes, the current situation is a transitional one with some new signings and what's more, the new players Real Madrid have brought  in  are youngsters. So, even though Real Madrid are not fully stable at themoment, they are still safe in the race for the La Liga trophy and with the young squad they are building,they will certainly remain strong  for the coming seasons.

[Weawant]

To be honest I would never say that Real Madrid performed significantly in this match, we found that they were very aggressive in the beginning at that time Modric and young player Endrick scored two goals in a short period of time. In this match we expected a much more better performance from Real Madrid, we thought they might be able to dominate the match and defeat the opponent very easily. But this simple match made Real Madrid very difficult. Since Real Madrid have qualified for the semifinal, they will have to do very good performance in the next match that may be very important for them.

Like I said much earlier and I will still say it again,  Madrid may have possibly not attached so much importance to this game and it did reflected in their performance and even the squad the used for this game and that is why they didn't use most of their big players but those who they believe could still play this game regardless and that's why I will say their opponents were just lucky because if Madrid has come in with a complete squad, the rest would have been history (lol).

Yes, Real Madrid did not field their best squad in that match so the rhythm of the game was not really going well. It must be admitted that Madrid was indeed very confused in the defense line but I think it is still normal because some of the lower players still have minimal experience. However, even though it was only in the Copa del Rey, Madrid must be more serious in facing the next match and I think that is in order to maintain a good reputation every season to be able to get a trophy.

It will be an exciting match and will be nuanced in the final match between Manchester City and Real Madrid to be a sufficiently stubborn subscription in the Champions League the aura is still carried up to this day even though the team is not in good condition in the Champions League position, then Atletico Madrid's match And Real Madrid is in the spotlight like the final because both have a close ranking and only have a difference of 1 point between first and second positions in the La Liga standings and that is what makes this match very important Ancelotti must really prepare well, playing Endrick is not an option What's bad because previously produced results, but we did not know how the flexibility of the strategy that Ancelotti would use in the framework of the two matches to come.

[Adbitco]

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.

I still wonder why he thinks most fans are angry that Guler isn't playing. Yes his a promising young lad but the question is, who is he going to bench? Rodrygo is there, who's a much better player and he plays from the 7 wing and suprisely that's not even his preferred position which is 11 but because Vini plays in his preferred position that's why he was deployed to 7. In midfield Guler isn't going to make that position if the players that plays their are in good shape.

[len01]

Yes, Real Madrid did not field their best squad in that match so the rhythm of the game was not really going well. It must be admitted that Madrid was indeed very confused in the defense line but I think it is still normal because some of the lower players still have minimal experience. However, even though it was only in the Copa del Rey, Madrid must be more serious in facing the next match and I think that is in order to maintain a good reputation every season to be able to get a trophy.

Ancelotti knows what to do to maintain the physical condition of the main players and also give the opportunity to young players to develop their talents and also improve their achievements. Although conceding 2 goals, Madrid still won because the quality of the players can be relied on. As we see how young players like Endric, Arda and Gonzalo García performed very impressively. And indeed Ancelotti is very serious and believes in young players who can be relied on to pursue the title in the competition. So we don't need to doubt anymore even though Madrid did not use its best squad.

[rahmad2nd]

I would say that if Madrid face Barcelona or Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals, then the team will probably not be able to qualify for the final. I say this because Ancelotti's main target at the moment is to do well in the Champions League and La Liga.

If Real Madrid wants to keep the top spot in La Liga, they will have to win consistently. Otherwise, Madrid will not be able to keep the top spot in the table. Also, Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the Champions League play-offs. So I doubt that Ancelotti will give his full effort in the Copa Del Rey match.

It could be, especially now that several Madrid players are injured again. As we all know, with a tight schedule, Ancelotti must maintain the fitness of his players while maintaining their consistency, especially in La Liga and the Champions League. So, I'm not sure how serious they are for the Copa del Rey trophy. In the Copa del Rey, Madrid has the potential to face Atletico or Barcelona if they win vs Valencia, a meeting that is not so beneficial for Madrid amidst the situation of several of their players who are injured. Moreover, this week Madrid will host Atletico, the Madrid derby which certainly has the potential to drain stamina when playing this match, after that Madrid travels to the Etihad Stadium in the Champions League playoff match. These matches are more serious than waiting for their opponents in the Copa del Rey semifinals, because Madrid must be consistent in order to maintain their position at the top of the La Liga standings while defeating City in order to secure the match in the second leg later. But we'll just have to see how Ancelotti and his team play each match, whether it's in La Liga, the Champions League and even the Copa del Rey.
