La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Adbitco]

I'm so sorry for Endrick caused by he's dumb enough as a player. He's rejecting some offers to take him as a loan, and decide to stay just to be benched. He might still get some minutes under Ancelotti, but totally different after the arrival of Xabi. He rarely played, and got a seatbelt on his bench.
The better he asked Xabi to send him as a loan, and ignore his parent's advice to keep stay and fight for his place caused by the wall is too big for him to pass.

I don't think a young guy who very lack of minutes can replace Mbappe. If he's dreaming to get a spot in Real Madrid's attack, he has to surpass Mbappe. It can't be done if he's just sitting on the bench. What a wasted talent. 

I have really heard much about Endrick over the last transfer window but I actually thought he was going to be loaned out but I was surprised he still at Real Madrid as the season started. His still very young and needs playing time but even if his dumb, he should know that he was never going to get it at Real Madrid. I don't know if he was expecting the coach to bench one of the forwards for him. It's just laughable. He would have moved to a small club where he was going to get a guaranteed playing time that's how it's done. But either ways, he knows best that's what I can say because I don't understand how him sitting on the bench is important to him.

It was even more complicated for Real Madrid last season due to the numerous injuries on their players and they still managed, so Barcelona too will still manage even though theirs is not as severe as that of Real Madrid. But the good news is that they injury list on the forward won't be for long, Yamal should be in the squad after the international break at least that will be a big boost for them going into the month. It's Real Madrid both LBs that are still in doubt.

Real Madrid had a much tougher time last season, and that was especially true for their defense. Perhaps Ancelotti's mistake was that he was slow to make new transfers to strengthen the defense, perhaps thinking he could wait for the defenders to return from injury and not wanting to replace them with new players, partly due to his friendly relations with them. Because the first thing Alonso did when he arrived was strengthen the defense.

[Solokan]

Yes and in someways is strange because the remaining players are super players for example you still have, Lewandowsky, Rashford, Pedri, Olmo etc, so you still have a list of super players to be around with, but somehow they can produce the high level football flick needs in his teams.

So yes they are quite dependant on a few players. I also see the defense being not so good, i dont like what they have.

Yes, in fact it is very strange that these players cannot do well, it is very strange in fact I cannot understand it either, they have exceptional players but they cannot do very well, but they have to succeed otherwise things will go badly for them.

Indeed, even though Barcelona is currently experiencing many injuries, especially among its key players, Barcelona should still be able to play well because they still have good players such as Lewandowski, Rashford, and others. In this situation, Flick's role is crucial. He needs to develop a better strategy and also work on improving the mental resilience of Barcelona's players. Personally, I am disappointed with Barcelona because they have struggled to perform well despite having capable players who are not injured.

Well, we'll just have to wait and see how Barcelona performs in their upcoming matches, and I certainly hope the players can perform well despite the current roster. If Barcelona continues with this lackluster performance, it will indeed make it difficult for them to achieve their goal of becoming champions. Now, we'll see if Flick's hard work can make Barcelona perform better or not.

Seriously, I still think it wasn't Ancelotti's fault for not having new signings, you know how Real Madrid works, the coach is not in charge of signing players. He can only say this what I want and the management being Perez and his team can decide otherwise. I remember when Ancelotti said he needed players but to our greatest surprise, that summer transfer window, Real Madrid didn't sign any player. I still remember this season as well, Real Madrid after signing few players, announced that they have closed their transfer window even though Alonso still needed two or three players to be added to the squad.

Well you said the truth, we can see the like of rodrygo struggling to get minutes under This management then for sure Endrick might barely plays. I was first to think he would grab any loan opportunity this summer but to my big surprise he rejected all offers. Currently he his not even Xabi Alonso second choice in the striker position so that why he has barely played.

Well I understand that Xabi Alonso is new and will want to put a big statement at the club in his first season. So far Real Madrid have lost just one match but in the matches they’ve won we say who it was, they really need to dig deep to get the win so bringing on Endrick in such matches will be very difficult.

By winter I expect him to secure a loan move out of the capital city.

Well that's something Alonso will just have to adapt and work with because as it stands now I think what they can only do is just to endure and work with the players that he has bought even though the entire list wasn't actually bought. I believe that Real Madrid in terms of performance is looking a lot more stable than that of last season I just hope no any criteria that would ruin their form affects them something like injury.

I think Endrick should leave that team that currently doesn't let him play and I think he's truly a talented player, if he stays he will contribute to the end of his career, also because they have decided not to let him play anymore, and so if this decision has been made he should go somewhere else and he would do well to do it immediately.

[Adams0001]

Barcelona will only bounce back if their injured players are back from injury because they are the engine room to the club in terms of scoring goals. Reason for the humiliation was that Barcelona cannot do without their key players which shows that the club success depends on only some set of players and that's bad.

Barcelona are really depending on Yamal and they always struggle if the player is missing in the team they will suffer before wining games. There last game against sevilla was a very surprise thing to me because I didn't expect Barcelona will concede many goals like that because I know that they are better then sevilla but since they is not yamal and Rafinha they are struggling to win matches in the league competition, that is why is not really good to depend on one player in your team you need to have many key star is the squad so that when ever the first eleven striker went to injured, they will replace him with another players easily without making the team struggle to win matches.

Barcelona offside line as started to link, every club that play with them always get the weak point to destroy them and they have already losing back to back matches in both the Champions League and laliga. Let see if Hansi Flick will easily fix the problem before there next game in the league competition.

[SatoPrincess]

The absence of these players clearly did affect the game. There is always a such an intense pressure from the Barcelona flanks when these guys are on the pitch and that was clearly lacking when they faced off Sevilla yesterday. Sevilla was there better all game and there was little Barcelona players could do to change the game. The attack was dull and the defense was weak.

This shows just how dependable Barcelona has been on these two players especially, Yamal. Good thing the international break is at hand else, they could have faced further point drops.

Well, this changes everything, because everything I thought about them is crumbling, I understand that the boys are doing a lot, but without Yamal they don't seem to be performing so well, all teams are based on fundamental players, all of them, but here they have few to count on

Unfortunately that is the situation of Barcelona right now, the team seems to be wholly dependent on Yamal’s performance as their major strength too bad when he is absent everything seems to be falling apart. I said this before the Sevilla game and guess what. Barcelona without Yamal Barcelona conceded a heavy 4:1 defeat.

[GiftedMAN]

This championship is getting more and more complicated, I understand that it is much more difficult for Barcelona now given that they cannot have the best players at their disposal but they must continue to do what they are doing and try to recover as quickly as possible, otherwise it will end badly for them, given that Real are starting to get serious.

It was even more complicated for Real Madrid last season due to the numerous injuries on their players and they still managed, so Barcelona too will still manage even though theirs is not as severe as that of Real Madrid.

It's Real Madrid both LBs that are still in doubt.

Real Madrid suffered more last season due to the inability of the players to blend together and the injury crisis in the team and it gave Barcelona the advantage to win the league after defeating them multiple times. Barcelona only had the injury case of few of their players it also affected them but they have already lost two important matches which shows that they can't do without Yamal which is the most important player in the team they have to prepared to face the incoming games and hoping that their injured players will be back to join them.

[Danica22]

The competition is always about Barcelona and Real Madrid and these unexpected loss in points and el classico matches would determine who wins the league title. Looking at the recent history, Barcelona and Real Madrid alternately winning the leagues for last 5 years and no doubt it would be among them this year too.
Injuries are part of the game. They should always be prepared with an alternative. Though injuries of important players had been decisive in different leagues, there are clubs that goes as strong even with a few injuries.

Several players in Barcelona's squad have suffered injuries. As a result, Barcelona's performance is now a bit weak. But the season has just started. The teams have only played 8 matches each. Hansi flick has enough time to reduce  the gap to just 2 points. But if barcelona's performance does not improve after the  international break, it will be very difficult for them to regain the top spot in  the table. Real Madrid's team is quite strong. And Xabi Alonso will be fighting desperately for his first La liga title. Alonso will try his best to ensure the La Liga title. So if Barcelona's performance remains so erratic for a long time , it will not be possible for  them to win the title.

Barcelona are going through a rough time but they can get back to their previous form because they have great players. Yamal is out due to injury. Rashford Rafinha and Lewandowski are not playing well at the moment but I believe they will get back to their best and Barcelona will be able to do even better in the next matches. It would not be right to judge the whole team performance negatively based on one or two matches. The top teams in La Liga will face challenging conditions and pressure to improve. Barcelona are only 2 points behind Real Madrid and I think they will play better.

They've been seriously hit by injury and if their players fail to recover on time, It could cause lots of problems for them, cause Real Madrid's form is very good and they would seize the opportunity to maintain the lead on the table, except maybe the likes of Rashford, Lewandowski step up their game and get back at their best again.

 It is on thing to face challenges but it's another thing to tackle the changes quickly, Hansi Flick needs to tackle this challenge they have recently very quick else it would cause lots of problems for Barcelona especially now that the gap is not very much, two points is not much gap but they shouldn't allow it past that figure.

The current period seems very challenging for hansi flick. The forwards are going through bad form and the young talented player Yamal is out of the field due to injury. Barcelona has faced such bad situations before but they have come back from bad times with great performances. Barcelona are in second position with 19 points and Real Madrid are in first position. Barcelona is a traditional club and will be able to correct their mistakes soon and I consider them the favourites to win the trophy. I think the current period will not create too many problems for Barcelona because they have only had one or two bad performances.

Buddy your analysis is right but we shouldnt still forget that the league is still very much alive and any team can recover whatever they are facing right now, yea you pointed out the fact, it is very obvious that Barcelona may not do without lamine Yamal, they should do something about this, at this point I think their should be a good substitute for him, his absence was felt in that match, with what has happened, Barcelona is making us to believe that to believe that without lamine Yamal they can penetrate other teams easily, when we thought that they would've try to top the legaue as Realmdrid created the opportunity for them, they failed and allow sevilla to humiliate them with such messy number of goals.

I agree, injury was even the major problem. Just imagine when your first eleven is not always available week in week out, that was the case of Real Madrid of last season. A CM was made to play RB and a DM was made to play CB another CM was also made to play LB at times. For the blending part, it didn't actually take long for the forward to blend after the first few months.

I think the current period will not create too many problems for Barcelona because they have only had one or two bad performances.

I think history is about to repeat itself again, what happened last season in Barcelona December when Yamal went to injury along side with Raphina is what I'm seeing now again. When Yamal and Raphina went out for injury treatment, Barcelona lost 4 matches in Laliga and 1 in Champions League and now it's happening again, they lost to Savilla and conceded 4 goals, Raphina was out and Yamal was out, who knows what will happen this weekend.

The remain players need to form a strong front line, I didn't see much effect of his actions in that game against Sevilla. They are also really depending on Rashford, not saying is a bad thing not to utilize his effort but if it becomes regular like they are using Yamal and Rashford, next season they are going to suffer from redistribution of performance between players, if Raphina, Yamal and Lewandowski goes to injury, it's going to be terrible for that club.

[dezoel]

It's hard to predict who will win La Liga right now.
Barcelona has the problem of sometimes playing very well and then suddenly slowing down. If Lewandowski and the young players wake up as they should, they would really make a difference.
Real Madrid is a very similar story; it seems to be up and down. One day they win a resounding 4-0, and the next they struggle against a small team. They have a strong midfield, but the attack sometimes struggles to finish. I really don't understand.
Should I bet? Maybe I'd bet on Barcelona.

That inconsistency is the reason why people end up with troubles. What we are seeing here is that we are talking about Barcelona beating the best if on a good day, but lose to worst team on a bad day. That type of thing is not easy and we should not consider it a bad thing but it's also not a good one. They need stability and have a great way of staying the same, they need to be more consistent because they can't really have that kind of situation where they lose these games.

What I believe right now is that seeing how things could change and we could see some things be a bit different. For the purposes of winning the title, dropping some games like these is not ok, I mean it's okay if just few games, but they can't do it often.

Barcelona have faced some kind of setback after losing their most recent game, it was an unexpected loss because no one expected them to be defeated with such a big margin, they need to go back to the planning board if they want to prevail in this competition. They’ve lost the first place once again and if at all they want to regain that position again, they’ll need to be at their best performance because Real Madrid are also playing optimally well, and will always be a tough opponent for Barcelona.

Hansi Flick just needs to maintain some level of performance and consistency for Barcelona in the coming games, another defeat will only give Real Madrid more morale and better situated on the standings for the league title. Barcelona is not a weak team, and after every defeat they can always get themselves back on track if they recoup immediately. One or two performance can also add to the pressure of the fight for the league title, it’s better they avoid it all.

I don't even like a situation where a team is built around only one player, and that can be very disastrous for a big team for Barcelona, meaning that if the said player is not in form, injured, or benched for a period of time, then the team can't perform because of their reliance on that player, However, regardless of Yamal contribution to the Barcelona football team, I love the fact that Barcelona can win their games with or without lamine Yamal in the team, and that's how it should be.

In my opinion, Barcelona should have focused more on bringing in players who could form a strong defense. I’m not saying that Cubrasi, Araujo, and the others don’t play at a high level, but it simply leads to saturation, and form can’t stay consistently good like last season. Rashford is playing excellently, but it’s not enough to carry Barcelona alongside Yamal. Now we’ll have to see what happens next whether Real Madrid will pull ahead in the standings or if Barca will quickly get back on track.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I'm so sorry for Endrick caused by he's dumb enough as a player. He's rejecting some offers to take him as a loan, and decide to stay just to be benched. He might still get some minutes under Ancelotti, but totally different after the arrival of Xabi. He rarely played, and got a seatbelt on his bench.
The better he asked Xabi to send him as a loan, and ignore his parent's advice to keep stay and fight for his place caused by the wall is too big for him to pass.

I don't think a young guy who very lack of minutes can replace Mbappe. If he's dreaming to get a spot in Real Madrid's attack, he has to surpass Mbappe. It can't be done if he's just sitting on the bench. What a wasted talent. 

Not every player will succeed at bigger clubs like Madrid and is so sad that a good player would sit on the bench for that long and only get 2 to 4 minutes if they have to consider him to play, too bad honestly. Kendrick is a very lucky player and he can do better than Mbappe if the opportunity is giv n but as it is, this won't happen because the competition that is at Madrid is too much, imagine the time Arda Guler had to wait before having a playing time, for me Endrick should have left on loan or even seek for transfer because I don't see him as a starter or even coming from the bench and playing for long.
