La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[GiftedMAN]

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.

I wonder why any one would mention Yamal when they talk about the achievement of Messi and Ronaldo at young age they should talk about the success of the young boy and the money he is making but in terms of performance they shouldn't bring him closer cause he is yet to start his career well since he hasn't matured in the game to qualify him to be compare to the two goat. Messi and Ronaldo was consistent right from their young age to their current age and if Yamal wants to be in that level he should be consistent for 5 years before we can regard him.

[sokani]

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.

Yamal is a great kid with amazing footballing skills. He's very young, and he's doing well for himself, but I feel it's actually crazy for Barca to increase his salary to €300k all in an effort to tie him down. Such an increment might even make him complacent. Seriously, I do have doubts about the possibility of him performing at the highest level in years to come because of his personal choices.

[Mayor of ogba]

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?

No doubt Lamine Yamal is a good player, but I don't think him earning more money than Ronaldo and Messi at the age of 18 years old gives him the potential to surpass Ronaldo and Messi. What Ronaldo and Messi have done in football is extraordinary, and I don't see any player that will equal Ronaldo and Messi's record for now. Lamine Yamal is just lucky to start his football career when players are being paid a big amount of money as their wages.

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.

If you build a team around a player, then you taking a great risk, because without the player, then the team won’t be performing well, and if the team is unlucky and anything happens to the player, then they just going to be losing anyhow. As a team if you are having a key player, always try and have a backup, and you shouldn’t even depend on only a player as a team, it doesn’t make sense, and teams that do that might not really be able to achieve things because they will over use the player, and the player will be prone to injury.

I agree, building your team around a particular player is a Very big risk and it will backfire even when you least expect it. What happens when that very player is injured. There was a time I think, Arsenal were building the team around Odegard and at some point he was injured, that started a problem for them because it became diffyfir them to win matches in his absence and of we all know how it's going to affect the team if the player is out for almost two months or even more.

[Rabata]

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.

It is true that a team cannot rely solely on a particular player. If it has to do well, then a collective performance is definitely needed. However, when a team has a good player or a star player, there is a sense of well-being in the team, on the other hand, in his absence, it is natural that there will be pressure. A team like Barcelona cannot be played depending on only one or two players. Another thing is that no small team should be considered weak. Small mistakes can sometimes create big problems. I never expected Barcelona to lose the last match. Like you, I also think that if Lamine Yamal had been in the team, we might not have seen such a defeat.

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.

Ok now can you imagine, he is fine without any injuries or whatsoever but he can't even get like 3 minutes on the pitch even if he doesn't get to touch the ball and they expect him to fight for his place. The day this player will get his time on the pitch you'd see him playing differently because he would be playing to impress and he will not be playing like himself which is too bad for young talents, if it happens that way is never good for business. Is like the guys who are out injured will stay off the game for months and still get their spot intact while the little man Endrick will have to be a shareholder on the bench while watching them play. He should be ready, that loan option is still coming only if he'd stop listening to some persons who thinks he can still get a spot at Madrid, January can be another time to make a move, with this lack of playing time I don't see him making the Brazilian squad.

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?

I don't think this comparison holds in any way. I know Yamal is a good player, but with your statement, you're overrating him. What Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have achieved in football is incredible. Although no one can predict the future, I highly doubt anyone will match their level in this era. Given their achievements and age, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo shouldn't be playing anymore. In my opinion, they've achieved everything. Yet despite their age, they're still competing with young players and not just playing for names they're performing well and still scoring excellently, as if they're young. Lamine Yamal is just starting his career, and injuries or a dip in performance could affect his value. Currently, his price is the only thing that can be compared to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo .

[B-BossMan]

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?

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.

Factually, you really have a point here; comparing Yamal with Messi and Cr7 Ronaldo is very premature. That's why I don't even support Barcelona in the slightest, because mostly Barcelona's fans usually compare a younger player, or let me say an upcoming player, with the already successful players. Come to think of when Ansu fati  was coming up, Barcelona's fans were just hailing Ansu Fati and started comparing him with Messi, and they ended up spoiling his career, so Yamal should keep working hard and focus on his career, not what happened in his teenage years would happen during Messi and Ronaldo's time.

[slapper]

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.  

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.

You are correct that Rodrygo's troubles are a red flag. And the Endrick case is more extreme. He has logged 0 of the first 900 available minutes this season - literally 0%. Alonso has had him ready and idle in four consecutive matches, including the 5-0 and 4-1 drubbings that traditionally provide youth with a workout. The front three of Alonso are mobile and interchange-oriented, while Endrick is an old-school finisher that excels on final-third service

Last season with Ancelotti he managed to squeeze out 7 goals and an assist in only 847 minutes, the majority of which were in the Copa, so we already know he can deliver when he is given the opportunity. Now he's being pushed out by Mbappe as a roaming 9, Vinicinho/Rodrygo as wide outs, and even Gonzalo Garcia as the aerial "Plan B." If you consider it, that is four different types of players already in front of a teenager who only takes up one specific slot which doesn't exist yet

I would be surprised to see him complete 2025 at 0'. The club has already pre-approved a loan in January, with no buy option, and the likes of Sociedad or Valencia could provide him with the 1,000-plus minutes he is desperate for. It is a good idea to stay and fight, but the math does not lie. A zero out of nine hundred is a developmental death spiral

Comparing Ansu Fati to Yamal isn't entirely accurate. Yamal is a completely different talent, he will always have to work hard to maintain this talent and if he suffers a major injury it could all be over. But what you're saying is true, Barcelona fans were predicting Ansu Fati would be the next Messi, and they were wrong. Yamal is still young, and it's too early to compare him to these legendary players.

Yamal may earn more money, but we all know that the paychecks were vastly different back then than they are today.

I think we cannot compare their time and Yamal because things still have value then but I'm not disputing the fact that Yamal is getting a lot more than them. I will say Yamal is just being lucky to find a club like Barcelona the same as Messi but Ronaldo's own is different because when he was at the age of Yamal he wasn't that popular and only few see is potential that him he may become a superstar, compared to Yamal and Messi the were seeing from their first match. Yamal is Just Luck to get a popular Club like Barcelona because they are many other players who are still better than him but they are not opportune to get to the level he is now.

[ShowOff]

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.

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is indeed fascinating, and the competition for trophies between these two teams is often hard to predict. This season, Barcelona are certainly more confident as the defending champions, but that alone is not enough for them to repeat last season success or to win every El Clasico match. In my opinion, the current points table doesn’t mean much yet, the gap is still quite narrow, and changes at the top of the standings can happen easily.

Real Madrid, with a more ideal squad, is certainly trying to make up for last season failures. While the El Clasio result won't determine the trophy, I think it can be a good indicator of who is stronger between the two teams this season. Overall, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two favorites to win the La Liga title this season. Other La Liga contenders like Atletico will need to fight hard if they want to be involved in the competition for the trophy.

Even Barcelona as a team, I fear for them that this may exact some financial pressure on them seeing that they are yet to fully recover from their financial crisis they suffered some seasons back. We understand the contributions of this player to the tram and his efforts  to achieving the best at his young age but this does not sound like the best move to make already, it will be in the interest of Barcelona if this is further reviewed so it does not affect the team in the near future.

[Adiljutt156]

Furthermore, after this international break, Barcelona will face Girona. I think this match will be a great way for Barcelona to rebuild their confidence. I'm confident that Barcelona will win against Girona. Therefore, this match will be very good for Barcelona to start recovering from their poor form. It seems their key players, who are currently injured, are expected to be back in action in October. So, with that in place, Barcelona's performance will undoubtedly return to its impressive form, just like at the start of the season. With that in mind, I'm even more confident that Barcelona will bounce back after this international break.

Barcelon football team performance is very excellent in the last few matches as they won 3 matches out of last 5 matches and we saw only 1 win by Girona football team against Barcelona football team. The head to head performance of both teams is looking same as both teams won 2,2 matches against each other but still Barcelona football team is favorite in this match .Girona football team position is very low on the table as that team could not win any match against good team And we saw win of Barcelona against best teams and that is reason that team is present on the top of the table and Girona team is present at the bottom.

[Felicity_Tide]

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.

Both CR7 and Messi played in the same era, so their greatness is totally on a different level. Honestly, it was crazy to see how they both dominated the entire football, even when we had other football stars that also strived. Like someone said, they where special because they where consistent for long. Yamal is not on their level, and he shouldn't be compared to them for the now. But when we look at things achieved by age, we might also see how good he is. He plays like a gifted player just like Messi.

Now is not the time. There are years ahead. At least, a decade from now should put him in a better place.

You have mentioned all the qualities he has got to make Barca to increase his pay in a bid to keep him to the team, Yamal is a hit cake and a big asset to the team they can't afford to lose him because other teams are watching them and when Barcelona falls to hold how down with high pay they will lose him to other clubs and that will begin the downfall of Barcelona yet again because it's going to be very hard to get his replacement at the moment. The amount may be outrageous but for the foe mor Yamal he deserves all the money it will boost his morale and he will be motivated to do more better so that he will be earning more that he's getting now cause Barcelona will keep increasing him money if he's out of contract wish them that's the best way to keep him in the team.

We can't take that from them, for being the favorite and also performing well. Barcelona will have to dig deeper in other to get an easy win because in as much as they have been pretty good in terms of performance they need this very game to mount pressure on Madrid who are topping the league table. Things are really going to be tough for both teams, Madrid and Barcelona, meanwhile this game against Girona I don't think that old performance between these two have to do with how they're going to display in this encounter, like you said Barcelona are the favorite and we expect them to win this game to cover for the game they lost and as we all know, Girona haven't been up to speed since the beginning of this season so it will be another chance to get a win and be at the top of the table till Madrid had to win their game against Getafe.

Seeing by Girona's condition this season, I'm quite confident that Barcelona will have a much higher chance of winning. This is indeed another big challenge for Girona, who are already languishing in the relegation zone. This is sad because a few seasons ago we saw how Girona was able to compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid. But now, Girona must improve their performance if they want to avoid relegation from La Liga.

Oh yeah, I just saw the news that a La Liga match will also be held in Miami. This is really serious, isn't it? No wonder some parties object. And the first La Liga match abroad in Miami is Villarreal vs. Barcelona that will be held on Decembers.

In their previous match, Barcelona suffered a heavy defeat, so their performance against Sevilla was not good. Furthermore, many injured players will certainly pose a major problem for their performance in the upcoming match. Girona is not a strong opponent for Barcelona, ​​so bookmakers will certainly favor Barcelona in this match. While the odds for Girona are high, the odds for bettors are quite small because Barcelona is much stronger than them. Barcelona will be hoping for Lewandowski in the match against Girona, where Lewandowski is expected to score and secure full points. Lamine Yamal is still recovering from his injury, so other players are expected to contribute more to end the poor results of the previous week.
