La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Zanab247]

Real Madrid Football Club has been able to start this La Liga season perfectly, we saw that they were able to play in a balanced way against Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu yesterday. However, this match will definitely be memorable because three goals were disallowed in this match, which everyone saw as the spectators erupted in excitement. It was really amazing that Arda Güler and Vinicius Junior were able to score so quickly but in this match the referee disallowed Real Madrid Football Club's third goal. Despite all the drama Real Madrid Football Club came back on top in this match and they left the field with a victory against Mallorca, which I think may be a great satisfaction for them but it is certain that they will have to struggle more.

We shouldn't praise Real Madrid yet until they maintain this winning before we can praise them for good performance, because they started last season well but they later encounter some mistakes that made them to lose la Liga league trophy. They have not lose any game yet which is a sign some people use to identify some club that will win the trophy which is not so, because there are some club that will not look weak but they are not consistent in their winning but they will surely overcome those that are ahead of them in the future.

Am not saying that Real Madrid are not trying in this season, but can they maintain this winning till the end? I don't think so because Barcelona will not allow such winning to happen to them when they meet Real Madrid in this tournament.

I agree we should not praise madrid yet for coming back from a goal down to win yesterday just as you have said this was this same way that they started last season so it's too early to be praising them looking at yesterday game against Mallorca madrid actually struggled especially in the second half of the game were they could not even score a single goal against a team like Mallorca.



I was expecting that after coming back from behind that madrid will be ruthless in the second half by scoring a lot of goals but that was not the case yes it's true that madrid is under a transition with a new coach but there is a long way for Madrid to get back to were they used to be some years ago

I think you are getting emotional about praising Real Madrid. It is true that they should not be praised but in the last match against their opponent Mallorca, Real Madrid played brilliantly here you have to praise them because they had several chances and scored but they were unfortunate that some goals were cancel due to the VAR system and one of them was cancel due to offside. Real Madrid started well last season also but they could not maintain their consistent success towards the end of the season and even they did not win any trophy last season.

Their performance currently looks like they might continue to play better because they have shown much better form in the third match than they did in the first two matches of this season in La Liga. Now the issue is whether they can maintain this form. I think the new coach Xabi Alanso is working hard to maintain the team performance. They started the season with success and many fans including me are probably expecting them to play better.

[Plaguedeath]

3 goals ruled out by Real Madrid, unlucky day for Mbappe.

Xabi always let Franco Mastantuono to play in starting lineup even though he give zero contribution to the team. I think Real Madrid is still strong without Bellingham and other players who absent in this match.

Mallorca was just lucky for scoring one goal, Real Madrid is still dominating the match.

[Velvet78]

Simeone was finished 3 years ago. Zero ideas, zero results. I don't know what needs to happen for Atletico management to think about sacking him. I think the problem is him. Atletico have a good squad, they can afford to buy top players, Simeone is the most expensive coach in the world... where are the results? It is clear to the naked eye that Atletico is playing worse from season to season, even their signature defense is no longer good. By the way, in the next round Atletico plays Villarreal, again minus 2 or 3 points?  

I just checked and saw that Atletico Madrid spent 175 million euros on signings this summer. But still 0 positive result.    They are just throwing their money away. Sad to see it...

Everything has an end and Simeone also must go soon. They should sign a manager who will build a solid attacking system. They need to get more productive. Only then they can be more competitive in the La Liga.

In Spanish league the only two club that will be contesting for the trophy is Fc Barcelona and Real madrid, football is been played by 11 men so i don't see anything wrong praising Real madrid for their performance yesterday winning matches is not easy but they won from behind after losing 1-0 before it was later turn 2-1 win, I know fans were expecting Real madrid to do more but they got the most important points they needed and they got the 3 points against Mallorca which people never expected to give madrid a tough time to win.

[knowngunman]

Real Madrid team is seen as not performing well but they have secured their 9 points so far from their 3 games. Xabi Alonso is not used to playing a fancy ball but his winning mentality is his strength. Remember his days in the Bundesliga, Bayern Leverkusen mostly always win their games at the stoppage time even when they trail. Even though his strategy is not the best for fans who suffer continuous heartache due to time, he has always found his way.

It is normal to assume that he's winning now because he has only played against the lower teams in their 3 games but it is not very true. Real Madrid may pull a surprise this season. They don't need a fancy ball, they only need a Xabi Alonso's Tactics and mentality. Vinicius Junior is gradually coming back to his form and he is promising for the season.

There's enough players at Xabi Alonso disposal at the moment but yet, this is not like the Real madrid that we know. Is it that he's too young to coach a team like Madrid or he's inexperienced absolutely, I don't even know what the problem is but seriously speaking, this kinda performance won't take them anywhere. It is okay to play that way and win against average teams but it will definitely be a disaster against top teams. There's no sense of team work but just individual sparkle. They should work to improve their defense and the attack too. It's just getting started but a lot of negativity already happening and it's very bad.

[yenerbatmaz]

Real Madrid didn't play well again, but they won 2-1. Real's three goals were disallowed due to offside. Mbappé was caught offside twice, and Arda was caught offside once.
Real's biggest problem was the second goal. Vini took the ball from midfield, had players on both sides in open positions, but instead of passing, he dribbled past his opponent and shot on goal. It might not have been a problem because the goal was a goal, but I think this is the team's biggest problem.
Carreras cleared the ball off the goal line in the final minutes. If this had been a goal, the match would have ended 2-2 and Real would have dropped a point, but Carreras saved the ball. Real continued on their path without dropping a point.

[CryptoYar]

You provided excellent breakdown of Real Madrid match going beyond 2-1 final score. You correctly noted that having three goals disallowed for offside points to lack of precision and you are very right  about Vinicius Jr. selfish play which is major team issue even though he scored. And exactly they were lucky that goal line clearance saved them from tie proving that they got win but they did not play well and have serious problems to fix.

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

I was a little worried when Madrid fell behind by one goal. This was because Mallorca played with a full block and stacked players in the defensive area. But the intelligence and patience of Militao, Carreras, and Ceballos enabled Madrid to perform well. Guller and Vinicius became the savior stars. Xabi made the most of the rest period and playing time. Vini, who started the match from the bench last week, now started as a starter. This gave him better fitness.

I was also worried that Real Madrid wouldn't win Mallorca yesterday because after Mallorca took a surprising lead through a corner kick in the first half, they played with full force and tried to increase their lead to 2:0. Vinicius Junior's goal helped Real Madrid reclaim full dominance against Mallorca yesterday, and before Mallorca could know what was happening, Real Madrid scored another goal in the first half to take the lead, which they defended in the second half to earn all three points against Mallorca.

Madrid managed to secure the win, but Xabi may have some notes to address and improve in the next match, especially regarding the finishing aspect, as with so many chances created, Madrid should have been more comfortable winning against Mallorca by a few extra goals.
Next, Madrid will face Sociedad, who haven't had good results in their first 3 matches. Madrid will still be the favorites.

I think Mallorca didn’t stand a chance against Real Madrid. The fact that they managed to score first didn’t help them, except that they could have tried to play defensively as a whole team to hold the lead. But since it was just the beginning of the match, that didn’t make much sense. Real could have won by a bigger margin, but two goals were canceled due to offside and another one due to handball. VAR helped Mallorca in this, but it was still enough for Real to win.

It's very true, although for me Arda's handball was never a handball, the fact that when another player makes the same play again I hope the League referees apply that rule, I really don't like the League refereeing, it's very biased, that's what always goes viral, the corruption and the bad stuff, I hope this time the referees don't come out crying at press conferences saying that their children at school call them thieves, like the drama the referee caused last season.

That early Mallorca goal just woke Madrid up... There was no way they were gonna park the bus for 80+ minutes and actually survive, that’s suicide against a team like Real.
Honestly, Madrid could’ve made it ugly if not for VAR bailing Mallorca out a couple of times. Two offsides and a handball... could’ve easily been 4–1 by the end.
At the end of the day, it’s business as usual, Real take the 3 points, everyone else just happy they didn’t get blown out worse.

Very funny, you shouldn't praise them yet because you feel they haven't won enough games for you yet but you will be quick to criticise them if they lost. Let's imagine these three matches that they have played, they maybe lost 2 and drew one, what will be your take on it? Would you have said, let's wait until they lose more matches before we criticise them and the coach? When a team is doing well, you applaud them that time and when a team isn't doing well, you also criticise them. It's that simple.

La Liga is just a two sided team, We all know that it’s just been Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in the league, And I was expecting Athletico Madrid to do spectacular well, but they have been very disappointing this season, and I’m not surprised with there performance, I think Diogo Simeone should leave that team, The league would just be Real Madrid and Barcelona to battle it out. But I still think Barcelona is going to win the La Liga title.

The calibre of Real Madrid does not allow that they be praised for such performance, actually they were not even expected to concede a goal from their opponent to start with so allowing  their opponent to even lead them on was like an error so it became a point of duty that they had to come back to Victory, more like they did the exact thing that was expected of them so there is no need of praising them because any less would have caused disappointment in them, I think this is the reason most persons are of the opinion of not praising them or making a big deal of their comeback victory.

[Smack That Ace]

La Liga is just a two sided team, We all know that it’s just been Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in the league, And I was expecting Athletico Madrid to do spectacular well, but they have been very disappointing this season, and I’m not surprised with there performance, I think Diogo Simeone should leave that team, The league would just be Real Madrid and Barcelona to battle it out. But I still think Barcelona is going to win the La Liga title.

For the last few seasons, we have been seeing Atletico Madrid perform erratically. Every season, we expect a better performance from Atletico Madrid. But every time, the team disappoints us. However, this season, the team is performing badly at the beginning. Atletico Madrid is not able to win even against weak teams.

Atletico Madrid has played three matches in La Liga. Against Espanyol, Elche and Alaves. These three teams can be considered as the weakest teams in La Liga. Elche team last played in La Liga in the 2022-23 season. Espanyol and Alaves were in 14th and 15th place in the table last season. Failing to win against such a team is really disappointing for Atletico fans. Simeone should now leave Atletico Madrid. He has completely failed to stabilize the team's performance.

[Solokan]

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.

I see Xabi Alonso still developing Real Madrid's strategy, and Xabi seems to be working hard to improve Real Madrid. However, after watching the matches before the Mallorca match, I noticed that Real Madrid always struggled to score goals. However, after watching the match against Mallorca, I saw good progress, as Real Madrid scored a lot of goals, but only two were deemed valid by the referee.

In my opinion, Xabi just needs to improve Real Madrid's performance a little, including ensuring the players can capitalize on opportunities and be on target during matches. I'm personally optimistic about Real Madrid, which certainly has the potential to be a title contender this season. Barcelona must be prepared, as Real Madrid's performance is certainly improving, and Hansi Flick must certainly work to improve Real Madrid's quality. I'm certainly looking forward to El Clásico, as a win in El Clásico would undoubtedly give Real Madrid the potential to win a trophy this season. Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens, and there could definitely be a team that surprises us all this season. It's still early in the season, so there could be unexpected surprises.

[X-ray]

3 goals ruled out by Real Madrid, unlucky day for Mbappe.

Xabi always let Franco Mastantuono to play in starting lineup even though he give zero contribution to the team. I think Real Madrid is still strong without Bellingham and other players who absent in this match.

Mallorca was just lucky for scoring one goal, Real Madrid is still dominating the match.

Even with all of disallowed goals by the refs. Many still said Madrid pays the ref. It's kinda hilarious, right? It's also a bit strange to see when Madrid scored, it's always being reviewed by VAR, but not applicable to the Mallorca.

As for Mastantuono, it seems Xabi tries to give him some minutes. That's why Xabi always played him, though he contributed nothing. The only positive that i can take from him is that he's good in positioning. Nevertheless, he's so inexpoerienced following so many mistakes by him in this game. Let have some patience on him.
