La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[SuperBitMan]

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.

With the way things are going I feel that Real Madrid may lift the la Liga title this season because Barcelona is not informed as before because of injury problems one of their biggest problem now is their defense is weak they need to do everything possible to make sure that their defense is strong again, know Hansi flick we do everything possible to correct and build their defense however if this is not done quick Real Madrid may give them a long and a very big gap in the league table and when this is done they have missed the la Liga title this season because real Madrid will lift it.
Yeah you are right Real Madrid right now is very strong and I agree with you very well with that last season what caused their ineffectiveness was injury and this season they are back to form and they are playing very well I can see that vinicius Junior, mbappe and Jude Bellingham are cooperating very well and pushing the team forward and that is what they need right now in order to win trophies.
Let us sit and watch how the league will end because anything can happen at any time.

[Furious 7]

It seems to me that the Atletico boys are underestimating their opponents a bit too much, they have lost several matches due to the problem of underestimating the opponent, except against Real Madrid where they were really careful and alert and did a good job.

They only lost once in their opening game this season and have not lost again in La Liga, so which of their several losses are you referring to here?

Indeed, in terms of condition and performance on the field, Atletico sometimes doesn't show that they are a big club, but in terms of final results, they are still quite good despite some games ending in draws. However, as long as they haven't lost again in the last 7 weeks in La Liga, that's still very good.

This isn't about underestimating opponents or not, because Atletico has always been like this in terms of performance when facing opponents below them. They always seem to lose their direction in determination, even though they have ball possession, but their tactics seem raw and ineffective compared to when they face clubs in better condition than them.

[Alex077]

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...

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..

Endrick's situation is kinda sad however thats also part of Madrids devastating pressure. Theres talent, no doubt, but it is almost impossible to get playing time behind Mbappé &  Viní Jr. So, it might sound nice to say ''fight for a place'', but when you are 18 & only get a few minutes to express yourself, it can destroy your rhythm, your confidence, everything. afaik Endrick has not played a single minute in a match under Xabi Alonso, although he is physically well.

In my opinion, a loan move would have been a smart decision, a club where he can play regularly, grow, the pressure will be less. Real Madrid could then bring him back as a sharper & more confident player. Otherwise, theres a risk that he will become a hyped talent who will be lost on the bench.

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.

No, this is not the real problem, indeed the absence of Yamal on the field is very noticeable that Barcelona has had difficulty creating sharp chances but other players are still able to provide sharp thrusts and provide victory, the real problem lies in defense and I am sure Hansi Flick has realized this but he has not found the perfect tactic to cover the weaknesses in his defense. Consciously or not Hansi Flick always applies a high line defense with an offside trap which when faced with an opponent who has high speed, this actually backfires.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Real Madrid hasn't broken the deadlock yet and the match is currently, on the 28th minutes. Madrid has created some good chances but Tchoumeni couldn't put them into the back of the post with a header. Madrid keeps pressing and pressuring their visitors defense in order to get a goal. I believe that Madrid will be able to open the scoreline in the first half.

Fortunately, Madrid won, but for me it won't be a great spectacle until it can beat Barcelona, ??in the league, in the UCL, in the Copa del Rey. For me, that will be a significant improvement. If that happens, I'll be pleased. Oh, and just in case, let it beat Atletico too. Because what they did disappointed me.

Barcelona are currently suffering from a lack of form, their main problem is that the back line is not in good shape which is why they look weak. Even Hansi Flick is not able to field his best XI. After losing two matches in a row, Hansi Flick will definitely come up with a great plan in the next match and bring his team back to winning ways. With the sudden weakening of the defense line, it is difficult for Hansi Flick to find a new strategy, but maybe he will find a solution very soon.

[JeffBrad12]

Football's inflation is going so crazy these days. Messi and Ronaldo got paid even less than 2k euro a week when they're at 18 years old, but totally different to the Yamal who is receiving 300k weekly. This is what i said that how football is changing so fast.

Anyway, seeing Yamal got like 150 times more in term of salary compared to the Ronaldo and Messi at 18. Do you agree if Yamal can have greater potential to surpass Ronaldo and Messi?

[bitcoin_mining]

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.

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.

After the humiliating defeat against Sevilla, Barcelona fans have lost a lot of hope and they are starting to believe that their team will not be able to do much good in the Champions League this season. Barcelona's team was quite strong this season but their performance on the field shows weaknesses in various positions. Their defense position and midfield position are not that strong, if they cannot do well in these positions, then not only will they perform poorly in the Champions League but they may also have to end the season with poor results in La Liga. Barcelona has an El Clasico match with Real Madrid at the end of this month, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in all matches last season. If they want to maintain their same performance this season, they will have to perform much better than last season, although this is quite a difficult matter for Barcelona.

This teenager has really surprised everyone, as you mentioned that despite being 18 years old, he is earning more per week than Messi and Ronaldo. Look, with Messi and Ronaldo everyone is looking for the possibility of being the best but this young Spanish boy has a lot of skills, and many hope that he will reach much higher levels in the future due to his creative work skills. This player has already taken second place in the Ballon d'Or competition, as a result we can see that the demand for it has increased significantly recently, even he can charm everyone with his aggressive tactics.
Rumors have already spread that the French club is ready to pay 230 million euros for Lamine Yamal, if this step taken by PSG is true then I think it will break the world transfer record.

PSG would be prepared to break the world transfer record with a bid of €230M to sign 18-year old Lamine Yamal from Barcelona.

[LUCKMCFLY]

So it now totally depends on Barcelona like if they continue to perform better, then apparently they will be the toper of the league, and if they fail, then there is a possibility for Real Madrid otherwise it might be hard for Real Madrid to get the top spot.

El Clasico will be the final day.
Winner = trophy

For me, Madrid will be and will prove to be the best when they beat Barcelona Right now , they can beat all the teams in the League if they want , but they won't be the best if they don't beat them That's the only way, at least, that I'll see if they've Improved or not.

All are predictions, it will not be easy for Madrid to beat Barcelona and beat all the teams in the league. Though Madrid is on the top of the table but I doubt if they will win Barca. Barcelona being the defending champions will like to defend their title. Madrid and Barcelona are in a good shape in the league and the two teams are fighting for the top position of the league.

What Yamal is earning right has nothing to do with his potential being better than that of Ronaldo and Messi,  buts just the way football is right now. There is more money in football right now than when Ronaldo and Messi were 18 years old. It true that Yamal has a lot of potential,  but I don't think he will get to the level of Ronaldo and Messi. He is just fortunate that he is playing at a time that football has a lot of money and the football market is inflated. This is just my opinion,  I might be wrong.

[Derekfunds]

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.

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 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.

Yea it is very wrong for a team to depend on a particular or some particular player for them to win a match or perform well because if peradventure anything happens to this player the team will suffer it darely and that is what Barcelona is somehow practicing now, they barely win or play well without Lamine Yamal and Raphina sometimes and it is wrong for a team like Barcelona to be doing that. Yes Lamine Yamal is a nice player but his absence should not affect the entire team performance or should not be noticable I believe if Lamine Yamal played against Sevilla, Barcelona would have won.

Yamal is an incredible player but comparing him to Ronaldo and Messi is really absorbed. Yamal is just starting his career and it will take a long while before he can become a mature player. One characteristics of Ronaldo and Messi was that they were consistent season in and out Yamal is just coming into the stage so let wait to see what he can do.

If you're referring to potential achievements, I doubt Yamal will ever surpass Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. But in terms of earning money, it's possible. Many players now earn significantly higher salaries than they did during Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's time. Honestly, in terms of quality, I think Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will be hard to beat by any young player in this era. Likewise, Yamal probably still has the potential to develop even further. But I hope he doesn't waste that potential. And I also hope he maintains a healthy lifestyle. It would be best if he maintains his fitness from a young age so he can stay in top shape for a long time, like Cristiano Ronaldo.

[Ahli38]

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.

Barcelona is not stable this season; even though they lost their match against Sevill, they rely on Yamal, whose performance is also declining, possibly as a result of excessive usage. Seville scored first, and they managed to hold the lead until they stopped at four. The problem is that the more points they lose, the more points Real Madrid gains, and Madrid will be happy, but now that Madrid is unstable, they should take advantage to accumulate more points. This is Alonso’s chance to do something different this period.

And Barcelona is facing Girona next and Girona won there last game so if Barcelona is not careful they will end up been defeated by Girona because the defeence of Barcelona is very weak and we don't even know what flick is going to do about  the lose defense. Because the thing is going to affect them this season so the easier the better he fixes the defense issue available the better.

Barcelona's poor performance began after their defeat to PSG, which caused them to lack confidence afterwards. This was evident when they visited Sevilla a few days ago, where they suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat. Many people may blame Barcelona's defensive line for this match. But I would rather point to the mistakes made by Barcelona's attacking line, where they wasted so many chances and even had more shots than Sevilla. So I think Barcelona really needs to regain their confidence. Barcelona has actually performed better than Sevilla since the start of the season. But Barcelona has experienced a decline in performance lately. And Hansi Flick must fix this immediately in order to maintain Barcelona's reputation as a big team that cannot afford to perform so disappointingly.

Barcelona's next match will be against Girona. I personally prefer to stick with my prediction that Barcelona will easily win this match, where it will be held in a few days. But I need to confirm the progress Barcelona has made. And at the very least I need to know what Hansi Flick has to say about Barcelona's preparations. That will make me feel more comfortable with my prediction.

Lamine Yamal is still young, he has a very long way to go in his football career so you never can tell he might surpass the level of performance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the future. There has always been money in football because when Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were in their prime, the salary they were earning then was huge even though Lamine Yamal's salary is way bigger compared to when they were his age. Due to the high salaries that Messi was earning made Barcelona to run into debts and it was reported that they finished paying him sometime around middle of this year. Currently, the earnings of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr is more than 4x of Lamine Yamal salary at Barcelona. However, Yamal is still growing in his football career so it will be wrong to begin to compare him with legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Yamal is a good player, but I think it’s too early to compare him to Ronaldo and Messi. He’s just starting his career; he hasn’t even done a quarter of what Messi and Ronaldo have done, so the player still has a lot to do before we can even compare or talk about him when discussing these two GOATs because they have done a lot in their careers.

Yamal’s potential is just starting to show, and we have not seen anything yet, so let’s wait and see how it will end because before we can compare any player to Ronaldo and Messi right now, the player must have gone very far like them.

And football pays better now because footballer are earning good money and look at yamal at is age doing well, potential have sometimes have something to do with it because if you don't have potential your value will drop and you pay might just be on a normal scale for example look at Saudi the moment they notice you have potential they start targeting you to bring more value to there league so I think even yamal is potential is contributing a lot for him right now, and the kind of name that Ronaldo and Messi have made for them self it will take a lot to be able to accomplish exactly what they have accomplished. And since yamal is still young I still expect him to be able to more all still depends on him.

Time will tell because these two players that you mentioned are the football legends in the history of football. The player that I am looking up to perform up to Messi and Ronaldo or more than is Mbappe. Yamal might get carried away with luxurious life and forget to work on himself to become great. He needs proper guidance as a young player.
