La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[GbitG]

Real Madrid turned the match around seconds before halftime. Mallorca was stunned. They scored two goals in a row, but Real Madrid were eager for a third goal. Mbappe was offside, and that was a good opportunity. The second half is now underway, and the score remains the same, with Real Madrid leading 2-1. The final minutes of the match are now underway, and even if Real Madrid maintains their lead, it will be enough.

Hmmm that's sounds good!!!
The match has been over, and ultimately the Xabi Alonso side has won the match. At the start of the match everyone was quite quite optimistic that Real Madrid will win the match with a pretty obvious goal margin but unfortunately they only won by two goals. Kylian Mbappe goal was disallowed by the assistant referee by the offside rule otherwise, now it will 3-1. But anyway big congratulations to the Real Madrid team because still they are trailing with unsettlness and lack of understanding between each other but still they won the match.

Apart from this, if we talked about the players' performance, then obviously all the player contributed so good especially Arda Guler. He capped brilliant displays by scoring a goal and dominating the playmaking badge and that's how he garb the MVP awards

Ancelotti underestimated such a talented player. Arda Guler was not given enough opportunities in the last season. But every coach has different preferences. For example , Ancelotti gave Rodrygo a lot of chance, and Alonso did not like Rodrygo's style of play.
Arda guller has performed well in all three matches with Madrid this season. Arda Guler's rating was 8.5 + in the matches against Real Oviedo and Mallorca. He is becoming one of the most important players in Madrid's midfield. Madrid's midfield will become even stronger after Bellingham returns from injury.

The match ended 2-1, and Real Madrid once again secured a full three points. Based on the match stats, Real Madrid showed a slight improvement from their previous game, they played more aggressively and seemed more creative in creating opportunities. With the number of chances they had, Xabi Alonso team should have been able to win by a larger margin. It's great to see Arda Guler score today, he didn't waste the opportunity given to him by Xabi Alonso.

Slowly but surely, Xabi Alonso has managed to bring consistency to Real Madrid in La Liga, and I think they have returned to their best form. It remains to be seen if Real Madrid can do the same when playing in the Champions League. Meanwhile, with Real Madrid resurgence, Barcelona certainly needs to be more cautious this season. Hansi Flick might not be able to repeat last season success, like winning all the El Clasico matches.

Madrid has been improving their performance in the LaLiga this season but it’s yet to be tested against very tough opponents, this is the normal with Madrid they win this games I’m not surprised. Last season Madrid were not really bad but Barcelona was on a firing roll that made Madrid look bad aside from barça denying them titles last season, it was good outing I know many will argue against this. The competition for Madrid is always Barça in the LaLiga and vice versa, Xabi Alonso doing well will be tested in October when he plays Barcelona for now both teams can be winning games building momentum to the el Classico, I still think this Madrid team cannot win against barça yet but we’ll have to wait for the first el Classico of the new season.

Athletico Madrid has been a shadow of themselves 3 games without a win and even losing, what’s happening to Diego Simeone and his boys. They have to fix their problems fast to be able to compete for title this season.

[As-Soon-As]

I have no doubt on Real Madrid this season. If you are still watching the game, you will understand why I said this, because in the interval of just a minute, Real Madrid had scored 2 goals. This shows that they are not here for jokes, and I have hope more goals will come in this game. All you have to do is stay patient and keep watching the game.

You can say that again about Real Madrid this season they aren't looking like a team that is here to joke this season and they are playing with all seriousness you could see how they bounced back to take the lead before the first half was over that is what it means to be a big team. Xabi Alonso is doing something great already and he is expected to deliver nothing but an excellent service for his 1st season with Real Madrid.

I expected Real Madrid to take the lead initially before that time because they were playing pretty good throughout the first half. From one goal down the game turned around immediately, in their favour just within a minute. More goals would be scored in the second half because I don't see Mallorca as a team that can stop the host from fulfilling their mission.

Today's game was quite competitive at the beginning, Real Madrid challenged, the opposing team Mallorca who were able to attack enough at the beginning, but later they faced a lot of pressure. Real Madrid's counterattacks continued, in this match, Real Madrid attacked a total of 17 goal posts. Out of them, two attacks were successful and Mallorca's goal post touched the ball, although Mallorca was ready to score first at the beginning.
And Real Madrid was ready to score a double goal within a moment and in the end Real Madrid won by a margin of 2-1 and Real Madrid took first place in the points table by collecting three points.

The new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso I think is still trying to find the best playing pattern for this team and from the positives I've seen so far, I'm optimistic Real Madrid Wil ve challenging for the biggest trophies this campaign.

From the Real Madrid matches I've watched, they've struggled with scoring. Given the little time Xabi Alonso has been with this team, I expected him to have developed a better pattern by now. I feel it's getting too late. Because if they play a strong team, the excuse that Xabi Alonso is still trying to fix the team won't be accepted by the management and fans. Especially now that the Champions League is about to start, and the challenges there are different from those in La Liga. Mallorca's defense was too solid for Real Madrid to penetrate, which I didn't expect to be such a challenge. The main problem for Real Madrid is midfield coordination.

[Odusko]

Real Madrid 0 Vs Mallorca 0
Just a moment ago, Mbappe scored from a long range pass put up to him by Trent Arnold, which he calmly controlled before unleashing a shot just at the line of the box to net. But it was chopped off for offside as Mbappe strayed just a bit in an offside position before the pass from Arnold. Real Madrid is showing early signs of scoring and they might just get that soon.

The match ended in favor of Real Madrid with a 2 goals to 1 and for sure everything went as predicted there is no way Mallorca will compete with team like that of real Madrid, I was expecting for them to even conceed more goals than this 2 goals but yes ultimately it was fun how Real Madrid dominated the whole playing time until their ended up winning the games and bagging the 3 points that comes from this game at a start of the season this is a good sign for Real Madrid.

With the way Real madrid is playing right now with Mallorca is difficult to be under 3, there was more attempts that could have been 2 now on this first half, Real madrid could be scoring more than 2 goals because is only 23 minutes now and beside Mallorca has an oversized defense because the goal they conceived was out of there inexperience because they should have seen the running of Mbappe to no what they were targeting but the goal was cancelled. Edith, fortunately for Mallorca they have now  scored, so actually real Madrid is on the fighting side of equalizing.

Before halftime, Real Madrid managed to turn the game around and take the lead over their visitors, Mallorca. Real Madrid ended the first half with a 2-1 lead, a game that paid off, as they dominated the match. Arda and Vinicius Jr. scored the two goals, while there were no goals in the second half, although Real Madrid could have scored more.

Watching yesterday’s match was quite tense after Mallorca scored first, but Madrid managed to bounce back with 2 goals in the first half. If Mbappe and Arda’s goals hadn’t been disallowed, it could’ve ended 4-1. This is what I’ve been hoping for seeing Madrid win without needing a big score.

He is becoming one of the most important players in Madrid's midfield. Madrid's midfield will become even stronger after Bellingham returns from injury.

Obviously, Angelotti underestimated the capacity of Arda Guler. He didn't even give him a chance to him play in X11 sheets despite he was precious talent. Xabi Alonso deeply reflects on his capacity and also tries to utilize his ability on right spot. And we all see that how brilliantly he is performing, although he is too young but still Xabi is considered trustworthy to play in X11 sheet.

Besides that in today match he played super dominant, scored a fantastic goals and also dominated the midfield area with pretty numerous of good passing. I hope Xabi Alonso will keep him for the rest of his career because he has great potential to modify the Midfield with his impressive creativity skills.

[Out of mind]

Real Madrid defeated their opponent Mallorca 2-1 in today's match and took the top position in the La Liga points table. ‌ In the 18th minute of the game, Mallorca scored a goal, but Real Madrid's players fought with excitement and went ahead with two goals in a short period of time. They won at the last minute with the score that was in the first half, going into the second half, both teams attacked quite strongly but failed to score. However, Real Madrid needs to be stronger because they need to improve more if they are to compete with Barcelona in La Liga this season.

And Real Madrid was ready to score a double goal within a moment and in the end Real Madrid won by a margin of 2-1 and Real Madrid took first place in the points table by collecting three points.

Real Madrid have shown impressive form at the start of the season, with three wins in three games proving their recent major overhaul of their squad and their readiness to compete for the title. They have also conceded just one goal in those three games. A 2-1 scoreline was enough for Real Madrid to decide the outcome of the match. They actually managed to score 5 goals against Mallorca, but 3 goals were disallowed after VAR intervention (one goal due to offside and another goal due to handball).

Arda Guler performance has improved since being handled by Alonso, it must be admitted that he was the best player when he helped Real Madrid get 3 points against Mallorca, Álvaro Carreras also showed his class as a left back who deserves to be in Xabi Alonso team. Overall, a complete change has taken place, but Xabi Alonso must continue to improve the quality of his squad because the real challenge has not yet begun.

He is becoming one of the most important players in Madrid's midfield. Madrid's midfield will become even stronger after Bellingham returns from injury.

It all comes down to the perspective and future plans of the actual coach, which makes the situation slightly different for Rodrygo and Arda Guller.

During the Ancelotti era, Madrid chose Rodrygo because he aligned with the club's plans and attacking schemes, which clearly meant that Arda was considered an option and a substitute. Now the situation is different because Xabi is preparing for a playmaker with good flexibility, and Arda is considered suitable for the style of play that Xabi wants to emphasize.

Both players perform well, and their individual skills are not significantly different. However, the club's plans must align with its objectives, so inevitably, one must serve as an option for rotation or as a substitute for the other. This does not imply that either is inferior; rather, there is a specific aspect that must ultimately be prioritized.

Real Madrid played great and the match with Mallorca was exciting. Despite so many goals, they only won 2-1. This match proved that Real Madrid is actually improving. Most of the players played impressively including Mbappe and Vinicius. Mbappe first goal was disallowed due to offside. Later they scored several more goals but the methods (VAR method) were so perfect and effective that even after scoring the goal, it was disallowed. But overall, I am very satisfied with their game and if they maintain their current performance in the next match they deserve to win every match.

Real have got full 9 points after playing three matches and are at the top of La Liga. I was surprised that Real Madrid played a much better match in this match compared to the previous two matches. Venicius scored a goal he scored with a single effort from midfield. He missed more chances but overall Real Madrid performed very well.

[Sexylizzy2813]

The challenge for this very campaign is getting more interesting than we expected. For the champions I don't see them as a team to fail or should I say start losing any game in the first 5 games, nothing is sure until it happens that's why football is unpredictable but still I believe Barcelona are ready to defend their title with how they played in their last 2 games, it was impressive I must say that's why today against Rayo Vallecano it won't be anything different from what we have seen, going out to win.
The host Vallecano lost their their last game against Athletic Bilbao 1nil it ended, they did put on a great fight to get an equalizer but it wasn't enough and today they host a much stronger team. Barcelona that almost lost or should I say drew their last game and now it won't be like last time but a must win. Flick's men made some errors that nearly made them drop point at this early stage of the campaign which is not way to begin the season as the reigning champions, so this encounter is going to be hell for Rayo Vallecano and I'm certain it will be an easy ride for Barcelona, I'll say a 1-4 win to the visitors.

The public will also read that this narrow victory is indeed a sign of Madrid's fighting spirit, but it also serves as an alarm or reminder that the coach needs to note the importance of increasing consistency in strengthening the back line to prevent early goals. Moreover, this season's competition is certain to be very tight like Barcelona in La Liga this season like you say above.

Weaker teams playing against Real Madrid are constantly closing in on defense. We know that defending teams are very difficult to open up. Real Madrid is unlucky because they don't play a strong team that can create space for them. When they play a strong team, we might see more scoring opportunities, as the opposing team can create chances at the back. They may have scored twice in the Mallorca match, but three goals were disallowed by VAR.

Arda's goal seemed natural to me. I was very surprised that it was disallowed. The ball was kicked haphazardly, hitting Arda's hand, and he tried to pull it back. The referee disallowed the play when the follow-up was a goal, which seemed pointless to me. Furthermore, Arda Güler is slowly starting to take responsibility within the team. He was named Man of the Match in this match, and he truly deserved it. His assist to Mbappé was fantastic, but the goal was disallowed because Mbappé was offside.

[Tamaperdana]

Ancelotti underestimated such a talented player. Arda Guler was not given enough opportunities in the last season. But every coach has different preferences. For example , Ancelotti gave Rodrygo a lot of chance, and Alonso did not like Rodrygo's style of play.
Arda guller has performed well in all three matches with Madrid this season. Arda Guler's rating was 8.5 + in the matches against Real Oviedo and Mallorca. He is becoming one of the most important players in Madrid's midfield. Madrid's midfield will become even stronger after Bellingham returns from injury.

Yes, Ancelotti and Xabi have different perspectives on Guler, and I think that's understandable. Ancelotti's coaching style and Xabi's are very different. Therefore, it's natural that there are slight differences in player selection. However, Xabi's current approach does appear to be improving, as Arda Guler now has a clear place in the Real Madrid starting lineup. Furthermore, his performance is clearly showing signs of improvement. However, Guler still needs to work on himself to improve his performance at Real Madrid. Last night, Guler played quite well, as evidenced by his goal against Mallorca. So, with that in mind, Guler could be a valuable asset for Real Madrid in the future.



Furthermore, Real Madrid currently sits first in La Liga, which is certainly a great start for Real Madrid. Furthermore, next week, Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad. I think this match will be very exciting to watch, as Sociedad is certainly a pretty good team and perhaps even stronger than Mallorca. So, with that in mind, I think the match against Real Madrid will be very exciting.

This match was quite entertaining, despite Real Madrid mistakes. At least they still tried to intensify their attacks on their opponents, ultimately handing Mallorca a defeat. Arda Guler and Vinicius Jr. played a key role in this victory, scoring goals almost simultaneously, capitalizing on opportunities when Mallorca were caught off guard.
This is what everyone expected. Real Madrid looked more aggressive in this match, and hopefully they continue to play like that so they don't worry about their rivalry with Barcelona for the title.

The new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso I think is still trying to find the best playing pattern for this team and from the positives I've seen so far, I'm optimistic Real Madrid Wil ve challenging for the biggest trophies this campaign.

Yeah, Xabi's team is not good enough despite winning the game against Mallorca. Some points need to be highlighted from this game is that Mbappe needs to work on his offside timing. He keeps suffer the same problem since he signed for Madrid. If he can work on it, he will score more than he produces now.
There are so many non accurate pass, and their team often give space to their opponent when transitioning from attacking to the defending. Xabi must be working on it.

On other hand, i still see some positive in this game. Trent and Huijsen looked better. Arda with his impressive performance, and it seems he is getting even more matured with his gameplay. It's a good game overall.
