La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

Talking about this particular game, I see the reason you think that Sevilla don't stand the chance against Barcelona even on their own turf, because by looking at their head to head record in their past five meetings, Barcelona have won five out of the total of five all in the convincing manner, and presently they are also in a better form than this Sevilla team, though that aside that's record though, we should not rule anything out entirely because this is football, anything can happen.

The record of the last five matches between the two teams cannot be used as a reference because the difference in strength between The record of the last five matches between the two teams cannot be used as a reference because the difference in strength between the two teams is quite significant. Personally, I usually compare the previous five matches, where Sevilla is not much better than Barcelona, ​​​​so this match will be a bit difficult for Sevilla to get points even though the match will be played at home. Beating Barcelona is very difficult, even though they lost to PSG in the Champions League, but in La Liga, the situation may be different, because Barcelona is much stronger and has a much greater chance of winning.

For an eighteen year old Lamine Yamal has done things that exceeds his age but every young man need guidance and I think he needs some.
It's time he stop proving too much online and do that on the pitch. Although I think Lamine Yamal was the best player in the match yesterday but social Media doesn't forget and lots of memes and videos gas been made taunting him.
He is a very matured player for his age but still there is so much a player can take. It's time for him to focus on football.

Mbappé became a world champion at 18. How quickly people forget what happened just recently. Compared to Mbappé, Yamal is a mere nobodies with a huge buzz around him. The only good thing is that he seems immune to stardom and lacks discipline. At best, he'll end up like Neymar (although comparing Neymar to Yamal is blasphemy against Neymar) or a host of other players who failed to realize their talent.

[Hewlet]

Player of the match was given to Nuno Mendes, and it serves him right, i don't think Lamine Yamal was the best but undeniably he performed very well in the game. It was a big game and whatever you see on the internet is what should be expected, if Barcelona had won it would have been the same thing, taunting the opponents and celebrating the victory, what i observed was the match wasn't just between Barcelona and PSG, it was Lamine Yamal and Nuno Mendes.

Yes that is right that Nuno Mendes won Player of the Match award. Fact is that he was strong defender and that he could withstand pressure contributed to victory of his team.

Nuno Mendez has always been an amazing player player making it difficult for anyone that plays against him in that his wing. if he was a Stricker, he will comfortably compete with Dembele any day and anytime but as part of the back line, they don't get the kind of recognition that the attackers gets most of the time. even with how good lamine yamal played, mendez was still a big deal for him to handle. the beauty of barca and PSG game is that regardless of which of the team that wins, you get a full flesh entertainment from both teams because all players from both teams always sweat it out and give it everything they have.

[MArsland]

Last season, Real Madrid's defense performance was very weak because last season, Real Madrid's best defenders were injured, but this season, Real Madrid started the season by including their best defenders in the starting eleven, so I didn't see much weakness in defense in the first few matches of this season. We saw Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão playing for Real Madrid in the first few matches of the season, but they got injured again, which may be why Real Madrid's defense is having problems again. Since their main defenders are constantly getting injured, Real Madrid could have thought about bringing a defender to the club in this case, so their consistent performance would have been maintained.

That weakness remains, and we saw it in the match against Atletico Madrid. The relentless pressure from the opposition, especially with aerial passes, made it difficult for Madrid defenders to reach the ball, except for Huijsen, who is tall. Xabi must be able to overcome this and hopefully he can improve the defenders ability to cope with intense pressure from the opposition.

[Abbatty]

The only similar issue that will affect Real Madrid this season and the previous season is defense, and I don’t know why they didn’t make a provision for new defenders. That would have helped a lot, now that their main defenders are currently injured.

I think they did, they bought in Dean Huijsen but definitely not enough. By winter I expect them to still try to work out a deal with Konate or Marc Guehi, that will make them much stronger. Then again if you look at it you will see that it not just the defense but also the midfield, they need to bring in another midfielder especially a defensive midfielder.

From what I know, Madrid actually still has enough second string defenders to cover for injured first team players. And if some people say the defense is weak, I think that's unfair. We can see that Madrid hasn't conceded many goals, and their performances in the UCL are still quite good. But what many don't realize is that what Madrid actually needs isn't a new defender, but rather a pure striker who can help them score more goals. Just look at how Madrid performs when opponents lock down Mbappe and Vinicius; they have no way of scoring.

I think Madrid misses players like Joselu and hope Alonso gets a player like him midway through the season.

How can u look at Real Madrid team and say the attack is the problem, They are doing well in scoring Goals. Mbappe is currently the top scorer in Laliga and champions league so definitely they are doing good in scoring goals. Bringing in a top striker will be like a surplus, we can see how rodrygo is struggling to get minutes, so I think if the defense is fixed by winter then Real Madrid should do well this season.

[m4r1o]

Should they deliberately give up points because it's the beginning of the season? Teams that perform well at the beginning of the season gain a lot of advantages later on. For this reason, the beginning of the season should not be ignored. Real Madrid are in second place in the points table because of just a few minor mistakes. And after a few days, when all the other teams start playing at their best, it will be very difficult to collect points. So I would say that Alonso should play every match with equal importance from the beginning and secure points.

exactly, it is essential to ensure that the team plays every match as if it were a very important match so as not to lose points along the way, which are the most fundamental, they certainly have to do much better, it is essential to have all the points available to have as much time as possible if there were to be drops afterwards

Player of the match was given to Nuno Mendes, and it serves him right, i don't think Lamine Yamal was the best but undeniably he performed very well in the game. It was a big game and whatever you see on the internet is what should be expected, if Barcelona had won it would have been the same thing, taunting the opponents and celebrating the victory, what i observed was the match wasn't just between Barcelona and PSG, it was Lamine Yamal and Nuno Mendes.

It is well deserved if you ask me I will say he was the best player on the pitch yesterday aside from his main defensive duty he also contributed to the teams success but providing a beautiful assist after a very good run from the back split open the Barcelona's defense. Nuno Mendes did excellently well against Lamine Yamal again, he shut the door and Yamal couldn't do much against him. I think he has been Yamal's toughest opponent so far.  I was just surprised to see Barcelona lose at home despite their excellent performance in recent games.

Lastly you are correct that intense emotional responses on internet following huge victory are natural. Best part of game was witnessing that particular fight back and forth between Yamal and Mendes that made entire game more exciting than watching two teams play.

I think what actually triggered the whole banter on the internet against Barcelona was how they bragged about winning PSG if they had make it to the champions league final last season and also claiming that Chelsea were just lucky to have won PSG in the Club World Cup Final. If you make such statements you should be able to back it up in the field. Chelsea fans are the ones enjoying it the most saying that Barcelona lost to High school boys LoL so funny.

[bastisisca]

You know how a team that is used to winning and winning feels whenever they lose a game, Madrid fans are some how worried about this game they lost, if they can lose to a team as Atletico Madrid that haven't been stable since this season then what would happen against teams like Barcelona and the others who have been consistent since the beginning of this campaign? This is a huge problem for Alonso, so there is still time to correct the mistake, that's true but if he hasn't gotten a solution before they face stronger team then they need some miracle to happen because they might still lose again and that's not good for business, not this very season where the least club is finding a way to play any European competition and Madrid can as well struggle to beat those teams.

I too have noticed that this season Atletico Madrid is struggling to keep up, honestly I don't know why but you can see it from the points in the standings
in fact they are very far from the top, already 7 points away and we started from a little, Villareal are doing much better, even in the Champions League

Many people criticize Yamal talent, who has just passed the childhood stage, saying that he is a bit chaotic but it will take time for everyone to become aware of the sense of discipline. Some talented players will be criticized for their actions, it is necessary to see that the effect does not fall on the playing field. Suddenly becoming a star and having a lot of money makes many people deviate a bit, but to maintain team discipline, all players are more eager to save their professional area.

[Hyphen(-)]

PSG really managed to turn things around & in the end they won 2 - 1 with a goal after 90 minutes, so I think Barcelonas defeat was not just laziness, but a beautiful game of fine margins & good reactions from PSG

PSG won the match because they come to win, they were very ready for Barcelona and wanted to get at least a point out of the match since they were without some of their key players, and the approach Barcelona have in the game was amazing, but the likes of Lamine Yamal were busy looking for fame instead of creating chances to win the match early since they scored the first goal, they felt reluctant and PSG did a comeback even though it wasn’t easy for them because they struggled in that game. Barcelona defense need to wake up with some certain errors if not, they might not win the Laliga this season because Real Madrid is in good form and are ready for revenge.

Actually, Barca looked very dangerous in the beginning, Yamals performance was amazing however PSGs experience & big moments won it. On the other hand, PSGs match with Sevilla was a club friendly match that didnt have much importance. So I dont expect much chance for Sevilla against Barcelona next Sunday

Barcelona need to give their fans a good response ti their Champions League defeat against PSG; they need to keep winning in order to keep leading the Laliga table because any lose from them will give Madrid chance of taking the lead.

The only similar issue that will affect Real Madrid this season and the previous season is defense, and I don?t know why they didn?t make a provision for new defenders. That would have helped a lot, now that their main defenders are currently injured. That is why their defense is a bit weak, although it?s still better than the previous season, no doubt. Presently, we see Real Madrid trying their best to perform better, even with a challenging defensive line, which, if provision of alternatives had been made in the summer, would not have been Real Madrid?s issue. For now, we have all seen that Xabi Alonso has shown his best so far, and he is still doing more. I hope they will be able to find another alternative before the season ends.

It was essential to have the possibility of having some important replacements at a defensive level because now let's face it, Real Madrid's problem is purely defensive, it's clear that this gap can be filled easily, I think that some repairs need to be made at a transfer market level when it will be possible.

[AirtelBuzz]

Player of the match was given to Nuno Mendes, and it serves him right, i don't think Lamine Yamal was the best but undeniably he performed very well in the game.

Yes that is right that Nuno Mendes won Player of the Match award. Fact is that he was strong defender and that he could withstand pressure contributed to victory of his team.
You are also right about Lamine Yamal. Although his team lost he did play great game in such large game and should be praised. And battle between just him and Mendes was discussed by many people demonstrates that they were most exciting players on field.
Lastly you are correct that intense emotional responses on internet following huge victory are natural. Best part of game was witnessing that particular fight back and forth between Yamal and Mendes that made entire game more exciting than watching two teams play.

To be honest Nuno Mendes won it through his hard work but the Portuguese player's performance in this blockbuster match of the UEFA Champions League was in everyone's eyes. We have seen before that this player becomes much more aggressive and constructive whenever he plays against Lamine Yamal because when Portugal and Spain played a final match before, the current French club's best left back, Nuno Mendes, received the Man of the Match award, he continued his activities in the same manner in yesterday's new season's UEFA Champions League match. Keeping Spain's wonder boy in the pocket is no problem for this player. It is even worth noting that this player has a lot of energy and it is correct that Barcelona Football Club was slightly defeated in the second round match of the UCL by Nuno's attacking football.

[RockBell]

Many people criticize Yamal talent, who has just passed the childhood stage, saying that he is a bit chaotic but it will take time for everyone to become aware of the sense of discipline. Some talented players will be criticized for their actions, it is necessary to see that the effect does not fall on the playing field. Suddenly becoming a star and having a lot of money makes many people deviate a bit, but to maintain team discipline, all players are more eager to save their professional area.

It is normal to criticise anyone and if you look at Yamal is age might also be contributing to is act but over time he will do better because I say a lot of replies comparing him, they don't need to do that, it is gradually process and I dont see anything wrong with him, been a talented player also comes with a lot of pressure because the only thing people care about is for you to perform well even if it's your duty, and we know of players that because of fame and money they become very arrogant.

But we hope Yamal don't get to that extent because is still young and still have a lot of things to learn, aside strategy discipline also matters to follow instructions and that is the only way that the young man can do supper better because you can not do things on your own, because even among your teammates there people you have to respect for you to have a successful career progresses.

Yesterday, Atletico Madrid achieved another fantastic victory against Frankfurt in the UCL. They weren't playing around in this match, beating Frankfurt 5-1. So, with that, I was truly impressed by Atletico Madrid's turnaround. As we know, at the start of the season, Atletico Madrid's performance was quite poor, and many said they wouldn't be able to perform well this season.

But it turned out all that was wrong, because currently, Atletico Madrid is performing very well and it can be said that Atletico Madrid is currently very productive in scoring goals. Because when facing Real Madrid, they were able to score 5 goals, and then in yesterday's match, they also scored 5 goals against Frankfurt. So, with that, I think this season, Atletico Madrid will be a team that is quite respected in La Liga and the UCL. Because their drastic performance will certainly make their rivals a little afraid.

Atlético de Madrid football team performance was excellent in the last match and they did back to back goals in this match and these were necessary for the team to win the match. Raspadori was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 4 minutes and he gave confidence to his team to win this match. Le Normand was a person who did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 33 minutes when that was requirement of the team . We saw next goal by Griezmann and did second goal of the match in 46 minutes and made match one sided.Burkardt was the only person who did goal for his team as he did goal in the second half when it has no worth . He did his goal at 57 minutes .

Since their main defenders are constantly getting injured, Real Madrid could have thought about bringing a defender to the club in this case, so their consistent performance would have been maintained.

exactly, as many have written, the fact that they need reinforcements in defense is necessary because they risk having a perfect team up front but then having problems with the goals conceded in defense, it is clear that they need to make reinforcements when it is necessary and possible to do so.

Lamine Yamal has a lot to learn but at this stage should focus more on developing himself than entertaining the media. He has a natural talent and could do much better in the future with proper guidance and advise. There are the likes of Yamal in the past whose career was destroyed due to social media influence and couldn't go far as expected with their performance slowly declining and new players taking over the stage and attention. Yamal is still young and has a lot to accomplish and also to learn from his teammates who have more experience. Humility is a key criteria to success.

Achieving two consecutive victories demonstrates that Diego Simeone has successfully revived the team after a difficult start to the season with results that fell short of expectations. Currently, Atlético Madrid is in fifth place in the standings, but I am confident that their position will continue to rise to secure a spot in the top three. In their next match, they will face Celta Vigo, and while Celta will be the home team, we all know who is favored to win this match.

Moving on to other teams, what is quite surprising is the performance of Elche, a team that was just promoted this season but has been able to perform exceptionally well and is currently in the top 4, and is one of the teams that has been undefeated for 7 consecutive weeks.

[BIT-BENDER]

exactly, as many have written, the fact that they need reinforcements in defense is necessary because they risk having a perfect team up front but then having problems with the goals conceded in defense, it is clear that they need to make reinforcements when it is necessary and possible to do so.

They added some reinforcement in the defence but I don't think that's enough because the problem is still there. Real Madrid will find it hard to win the boys if their defence is as open like it is now. Up front Mbappe has been scoring so has Arda and Vini jr, they will be looking at Guehi but a big signing like that will not be done in the January transfer window and I don't think crystal palace will let their captain go easily.

Yamal is still young and has a lot to accomplish and also to learn from his teammates who have more experience. Humility is a key criteria to success.

No one can deny that Yamal is incredibly talented. But I think his character needs to change a bit more for him to become the best in the world in the future. He's still very young, and he'll become much more experienced. But do you remember what Messi or Ronaldo were like at that age? They were farther from the media; we didn't see them in the magazines. They had good family lives, disciplined training programs, and high motivation during matches.

A kid so captivated by social media could experience an incredibly significant decline in his career. He needs to be mindful of this

Explain to me how on earth PSG that's missing roughly five keymen in the starting XI and coming out to outplayed and win complete Barcelona?

Did you actually watch the match? Please, let’s be real. Barcelona also did not play that match with a full squad. Joan Gracia, Raphinha, Fermin Lopez were all absent due to injuries.
Lamine yamal also came back from a groun injury, and after like 20 minutes he started feeling pain, so he couldn’t even push the way he normally does.

Balde too was just returning from injury. The reason Flick started the game with Gerad Martin
PSG won, no doubt and, nobody is denying that but Barcelona still played well. It wasn’t like they got embarrassed or couldn’t compete. Both teams were missing key players, not just PSG.

And about the coaches, Enrique and Flick are both top managers. One match doesn’t decide who is three times better. In football, even a weaker team can beat a stronger one, and it doesn’t suddenly mean the other coach is bad.
