La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Sexylizzy2813]

Seeing this Barcelona game with them losing before going for the international break seems like they have something bad to offer to Madrid because it will be their next game. Madrid can sit at the top of the table and enjoy it for the moment but on second thought, should Madrid be displaying a poor performance like they are doing with the good players they have currently? Honestly I'm expecting a more dominant force to make Barcelona calm down a bit and if Madrid can't then  the current champions will be the next champion.

It's strange to see Yamal so important to Barcelona at this age. I haven't seen an 18-year-old playing at this level in a long time. Last I remember, Lionel Messi made this impact. In fact, you could even say Yamal made an even greater impact. This defeat for Barcelona is quite distressing for the team. I hope they don't experience another defeat like this.

It isn't strange. Any player can be a mainstay player for the team. Yep, Messi also ever became the mainstay player in the young age, it is quite similar with Yamal's situation in Barcelona nowadays. It is great that Barcelona always has a young player who can be a big start player for the team. Barcelona won't be worried with the future because Yamal has a long career with his very young age now.

Well, a team can experience a defeat at any time. I don't think it will bring too big impact. The season is also still in the beginning. So, we don't need too afraid of the current situation.

I am too surprised by what happened to Barcelona. They just lost two back to back two match although they had a bright start form the beginning of the season. But now they failed to hold the top spot on the league standings and also hold winning streak.

Yeah, it was quite surprising but I think it isn't a very big matter. Barcelona can improve their performance and they can overtake Real Madrid again in the top of La Liga standing. The point gap isn't very far, if Barcelona can defeat Real Madrid in the next El Clasico match, they can return to the top of La Liga standings.

In my opinion this all is just because of injury. Like Barcelona, many key players were unavailable due to injury, and that's why they didn't even make any good progress.

It is not only about the injury problem. It is also caused by the performance of the second tier players quite badly. This is a warning for Hansi Flick that he must also take a serious intention for the substitution players.

Barcelona have shown poor defense from the last seasons champions league and it’s even more eminent now than ever. What had shadowed it was their attacking prowess which kept most teams doing more of defense rather than having a chance to take Barcelona on the offense. Should they realize this, then we would find an even more weak Barcelona than we saw against Sevilla over the weekend. It’s how they lost to Inter Milan last season champions league, lost to PSG this seasons champions league and has now lost to Sevilla in the Laliga.

Yes their brilliant attack has been hiding their bad defense. This trend is clear as long as the attack is playing well, then the other team has to defend, which means that the defense of Barcelona is not tested. However when a clever team stops the attack or has a chance to fight back, the defense tends to fall apart. Biggest threat is that these new losses show that the defense is as weak as it can be, and therefore, the other teams will now carefully plan to stop the attack and then force the defense to work by attacking them directly. Unless Barcelona quickly fixes their defense and make it more solid, the entire team will be hurt especially in important games where a single mistake can cost them the game.

Barcelona is still not that far behind, even after this game. After eight games only, Real Madrid is leading the league with 2 points, which isn't really that much. I would say it's still quite possible for Barcelona to comeback from this, it's literally one game difference, any game Madrid gets a tie and Barcelona would have the same points.



.....

Obviously Barcelona can still chase the league titles because only 2 points have the difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Upcoming schedule is more challenging than this one and I think this would be the opportunity for Barcelona to get a move. Right now it is hard to say that Barcelona can chase their rivals expect El Clasico. Like only El Clasico is the last destination to decide that who can be the winner if the league titles....

Right now is the international break and all players have gone to a national team and after that I hope many player of Barcelona will be recovered and will be there's to compete for the league title

It is true that Barcelona's defeat to Sevilla is certainly not the end of everything for Barcelona because Barcelona still has many opportunities to overtake Real Madrid. Of course, in the El Clasico match, it will potentially be a decisive match between Real Madrid and Barcelona to see who will win the trophy.

Yes, I also hope that after the international break, the injured Barcelona players can recover quickly and finally play well. In the next match, Barcelona will face Girona, and in that match, I believe Barcelona has a high chance of winning because Girona's performance is currently not very good, which is different from Girona a few seasons ago when Dovbyk was there. Even if the injured Barcelona players haven't recovered by then, Barcelona will still win. Do you share the same opinion as me? It seems like I'll bet on Barcelona's victory in that match.

If there is any time more sooting to win this Barcelona side then it's actually this particular time because they are currently struggling with their form and experiencing two defeats in a row is something that's gonna affect them mentally and psychological too and it's just immediately at the international break so Real Madrid will be have all the opportunity to win them because the records are currently not looking good for them comparing the stats of last season to this one.

Now Barcelona fell behind Real Madrid again with two points less while Sevilla stood in top range of La Liga a first time after three seasons. Two latest seasons, Sevilla struggled a lot and they usually stood around relegation zone but this season looks to be better for Sevilla. They likely no longer fight to stay in La Liga around a relegation zone but they are climbing up back to top positions. It's good start in this season and Sevilla still have to try in many remaining matches in order to achieve a good position at this season ending.

If there is any time more sooting to win this Barcelona side then it's actually this particular time because they are currently struggling with their form and experiencing two defeats in a row is something that's gonna affect them mentally and psychological too and it's just immediately at the international break so Real Madrid will be have all the opportunity to win them because the records are currently not looking good for them comparing the stats of last season to this one.

Barcelona still have weakness that costs them defeats and points when their attacking players can not cover weakness of defenders, Barcelona can lose matches. It's their Achilles in knock out matches while in La Liga, it costs them points but generally Barcelona have good opportunity to win La Liga title. If such weaknesses can not be improved or fixed entirely, Barcelona will be very vulnerable in Champions League and even they have Yamal, they won't be able to win UEFA Champions League title.

It's too early to make a decision on the La Liga champion this season, as there are still many games left, and I'm sure both teams will continue to do their best to achieve the results they desire. Both have suffered defeats in La Liga, which means there will be competition, given that both teams have their own strengths and weaknesses. The next two matches will see big matches for both teams, as El Clasico always looks interesting when it comes to rivalries, and even if the winner is not guaranteed to be a title contender this season.

Real Madrid played a classic game against Villarreal and Vini has already started to prove why he should be on that d'Or list next two seasons! Scoring two goals to the team's advantage was pretty sick.

IMO, I think Franco Mastantuono is just overrated and doesn't really have much of an impact like what he's praised for, or maybe I haven't watched much of his performances? IDK. Why did this happen in a week where Barcelona lost 4 goals aside to another team? Now they already feel like they're ahead in the league!

Yeah, you're right! Real Madrid had a fantastic performance against Villarreal we all see how they played in that match. Honestly I was really impressed by their game, and I agree with you that Vinicius had a great performance. If he keeps this up, he could be a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or. He's improving, although Kylian Mbappe might overshadow him for now. But Still Vinicius is likely to deliver more great performances.

I think Franco Mastantuono still an average player. Some matches, his performance seems impressive, but he's not yet at the level people are hyping him up to be. I'm confident he'll contribute to Real Madrid's success if he gets consistent playing time.

Villarreal played well but Villarreal's defense was not very good. Real Madrid was able to break Villarreal's defense very easily. If Villarreal's defense had been a little better, it would have been a stronger match. But yes, Real Madrid played very well. Junior played very well. Junior scored 2 goals. Villarreal's defense Mourinho got a red card because of which Villarreal had to play 1 less player. Villarreal's defense was a little weaker here.

The next two matches will see big matches for both teams, as El Clasico always looks interesting when it comes to rivalries, and even if the winner is not guaranteed to be a title contender this season.

Right now, every team is simply looking to win every match to get maximum points. If we immediately focus on who will win this season, the team might not be focused enough on consistently improving their players after the previous matches. However, during this international break, I think some players may travel to represent their countries, and some will continue training to achieve their best performance on the pitch upon returning to La Liga action. However, I'm quite disappointed with Yamal's injury, which means he might not feature in El Clasico.

[Olatundespo]

Now I ask again is Real Madrid still out of the picture? Is Barcelona the favorite and also the ultimate for the Spanish LA Liga title this year? Can you imagine such humiliation from an unexpected team sevilla that is even struggling for the league won Barcelona with such incredible margin this is ridiculous, and it's seems Marcus Rashford is the only goal scorer they have now, and it's also quite convincing that no lamine yamal no game for Barcelona, like I was really disappointed by Barcelona in yesterday game, now those people who laughed at Real Madrid the question now is how far?

If they had lost to Sevilla by a narrow margin, it might not have mattered, but I think losing 4-1 was a bit excessive. With the good players they have and 61% possession, how could they only score one goal? It sounds a bit ridiculous, especially since Rashford, who had just been loaned to Barca, scored the goal... Lewandowski and the others were out of form and seemed lost.
It seems Yamal's absence has made Barcelona's attack dull and less creative, as Yamal is usually their mainstay in attack, but there's nothing they can do about it because his injury will keep him out for, possibly, several more games.

Not only Yamal absence but also the lack of form of some players is to blame. Barcelona could not maintain the favorable situation of the game due to Lewandowski missing an easy penalty. The defeat against PSG not have been unexpected because they are a strong team but when you compare Barcelona to Sevilla, they are a team at a much lower level. Just losing to them was enough but the goal difference was high and Hansi Flick was surprised along with the fans and he will have to change his tactics in future. The best team of the season Barcelona They are considered a better team than Real Madrid but they have put in such a disappointing performance that it has surprised everyone.

[Oluwa-btc]

Two lose in a row and not only that, WHAT A LOSE, 4-1 against Sevilla, and not a super good Sevilla, this is a hard work sevilla more defensive and they allow 4 goals from this team, a complete failure.

I cant saw the game but i heard a lot of people talking about how bad Barcelona played, i dont know what happen to them, first losing against a B team of Paris Saint Germian, and now losing against Sevilla.....

They beat their magical highline countless times,  blames on the defence and the injured and absence attacks caused them that game.. Funny how a striving Sevilla was the one that got the better of them. They worked for it nevertheless. I will never downplay that. I also will not blast Barcelona, they did their best, the productivity of the midfielders brought about no results. It is high time Barcelona starts looking for a long-term Robert Lewandowski replacement.

[davis196]

Barcelona's defenders are simply not good enough. Sevilla had to constantly add pressure to Jules Kounde and Gerard Martin in order to get the ball and start counter attacks. This strategy worked. Sevilla's coach had studied Barcelona's weaknesses in their lost match against PSG and he had prepared Sevilla to apply a more attacking style. The absence of Lamine Yamal cannot be used as an excuse for Barcelona's disastrous defensive play. Real Madrid recovered quite fast after the humiliating defeat against Atletico. They had no problem winning against Villarreal.
My prediction is Real and Barca would keep losing matches in La Liga every once in a while, but Real would end up as the champion.

[Furious 7]

I think Franco Mastantuono still an average player. Some matches, his performance seems impressive, but he's not yet at the level people are hyping him up to be. I'm confident he'll contribute to Real Madrid's success if he gets consistent playing time.

For a young player, he still has a fairly large ego in this regard, because when I see Mastantuono's performance, to be honest, I see Vini in his ego-driven days, but this condition can actually still be improved.

His potential is still very high, and I believe his skills are above average, so he still has a lot of room to grow further at this point.

However, it depends on him. If Mastantuono ultimately wants to change for the better in terms of development, Madrid could be the right place for him. But, of course, there are risks involved. If, in the end, his performance remains mediocre, he will clearly be discarded if he cannot adapt well. So, it now depends on Mastantuono himself whether he is capable of developing himself and competing with the changes taking place in the club.

Yes, if you look at the current situation, Barcelona does seem to be recovering from its slump, unlike Real Madrid, which immediately bounced back after losing to Atletico Madrid. So with that, I think Barcelona is threatened with not being able to compete well in La Liga or the Champions League. Because with their current performance and added injured players, I think Barcelona will really be a team that is not too favored this season. But even so, I personally will not underestimate Barcelona because after all, Barcelona is a big team and they also have very big ambitions to be able to win trophies this season.

So with that, I think Barcelona might soon recover from their current slump. Because they also have a pretty great coach, Hansi Flick. So he must have also thought of a very good strategy to be able to boost their performance again, which is currently experiencing a decline. In addition, Yamal this season, as far as I know, has suffered two injuries, so personally, I am quite worried about his current situation. Because he's still very young, he shouldn't be experiencing injuries like this often. Of course, if he does, it will definitely have a significant impact on his performance. Hopefully, he'll recover quickly from his injury.

[Showlove01]

Barcelona is still not that far behind, even after this game. After eight games only, Real Madrid is leading the league with 2 points, which isn't really that much. I would say it's still quite possible for Barcelona to comeback from this, it's literally one game difference, any game Madrid gets a tie and Barcelona would have the same points.



The good thing is that whatever happened happened early into the season and Barcelona needs to take lessons from these mistakes and learn to be better and not repeat the same mistakes again. They have played a certain kind of football for over a year now and it's showing that teams like Rayo and Sevilla are aware of how to defend against that this year, so they need to find an alternative when things do not work well for them.

However, I would never have expected this decline from Barcelona, ??who seem to have started off on the right foot, but I must say that this makes us think that the championship is still wide open and that anything can still happen.
It is also interesting that without some key players Barcelona cannot do very well, they have to hope for the return of Yamal

It's strange to see Yamal so important to Barcelona at this age. I haven't seen an 18-year-old playing at this level in a long time. Last I remember, Lionel Messi made this impact. In fact, you could even say Yamal made an even greater impact. This defeat for Barcelona is quite distressing for the team. I hope they don't experience another defeat like this.

One thing about football is that the moment you start losing or you loss a match if you guys are not coordinated and  don't have understanding, your moral will be down and everyone will began to have some doubts in their mind if they can do better or do well in their subsequent matches and sometimes they will began to feel inferior because of loss, losing match is a strong factor that distablize a club most times but there is still time for them and they should wake up and don't allow such thing to happen again and it appears to me that they rely so much on Lamine Yamal which is wrong.

It's always hard to predict. Even when playing against Villarreal, Barcelona had to lose; I thought they would win. But the result was surprising, even the goal margin. When Barcelona only relied on Lamine Yamal, I thought they could be largely neutralized. Flick should have been able to turn them into a collective. Just like Enrique transformed PSG to work more efficiently and not focus on one person. Don't forget Atletico, they might also be contenders. Remember, Simone has been with Atletico for a long time.

Right bro. We are not seeing a good performance from Barcelona's defenders. Barcelona conceded four goals against Sevilla. It is quite difficult for Barcelona to counterattack  quickly by resisting the opponent's attack. Hansi flick should try to make some changes in the match strategy. Otherwise, Barcelona will fall behind in the title race.

The top spot of the table  is occupied by Madrid. Barcelona is already 2 points  behind. At the same time, we saw Barcelona's defeat against PSG in the last match of the Champions league. The team is not having a good time. Coach flick needs to find the reason for Barcelona's such performance. If the problem cannot be solved quickly, Barcelona will not be able to win any title in La Liga and Champions League.

That's right, relying on just one player won't make a team a champion, because essentially a soccer team is a team of 11 people on the field, so relying on just one player won't be able to make a team's performance great, because this is not a wrestling event. Therefore, Flick, as Barcelona's coach, must realize this and shouldn't just focus on players like Yamal. Because in the world of soccer, individuals will lose out to what is called unity. Because, as you said, PSG has also currently succeeded in making its team a very strong team, and it was indeed formed because of unity and not because of the individual skills of one player.

Because if we remember, PSG when it was still strengthened by Mbappe at that time, the team's performance really didn't experience a significant increase. Perhaps it was due to Mbappe's presence and perhaps the coach relied too much on him alone. So that's why PSG's performance when Mbappe was still there was not very good and always failed to win the UCL trophy. But since Mbappé left, PSG's performance has improved, thanks to the reintroduction of better and more solid teamwork. So, Barcelona must now follow PSG's lead to further improve their performance.

[pewboy]

Disappointing game for Barcelona once again, does this mean that Barcelona will struggle to win games without Yamal present? Anyways that will always be the outcome when a team builds their strength around one player, it will always be difficult winning games in the absence of such players because it also breaks the spirit and morale of the team.

I'm thinking exactly that and it doesn't surprise me if they can't do very well with certain players like Yamal, all teams have their favorite players, no one doubts it, but by doing so, let's say that there will always be problems if the teams never have a rotation of players.

[changaa]

Right now is the international break and all players have gone to a national team and after that I hope many player of Barcelona will be recovered and will be there's to compete for the league title

Yes, this will be an interesting championship that will make everything more exciting. It's very nice to see two such strong teams challenging each other to see who will win the championship. There are some collapses in alternating phases, first Real Madrid who seemed doomed and then Barca who collapsed.
