La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

....
Currently, his price is the only thing that can be compared to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo .

I couldn't agree more. The reality is that what Yamal is doing now is nothing more than chasing recognition and attention, not truly focused on the goals or values ​​he wants to achieve.
He keeps trying to appear better than CR7, but in reality, those efforts only make him look like a clown. Sorry to say, even though he's talented, I just don't like his behavior and the way he sometimes thinks he's better than everyone else. That's fine if you have high self-confidence, but when it turns into arrogance and putting others down, it will actually backfire, and now people are making fun of him because he's been injured longer than he's been playing.

The problem is that this team doesn't have back-up players whose quality is close to that of the currently injured main players. So until the injured main players recover from their injuries then we can't expect much. Unless Hansi Flick really maximizes what is there well. But I still think it won't be as good as playing the main players who are currently still out with injuries.

And this condition is indeed very worrying especially after they suffered a pretty heavy defeat by Sevilla. But fortunately some players are expected to recover and be able to play again for Barcelona. Like Raphinha and Yamal. It is likely that within a week to 10 days they will have recovered from their injuries and when Barcelona play against Girona maybe Raphinha will be back. For Yamal maybe he will return in the Champion league match against Olympiakos.

I definitely agree with you because, looking at the Barcelona bench the level of quality is not much and this is really having an effect on the team, Barcelona should try and strengthen their bench in the January transfer window if they are to compete favorably with Madrid and with the rest of the top clubs in laliga.

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

Looking at the form Barcelona is in now, it doesn't seem like they can do very well in the future. Because Barcelona's current situation is not in very good form. They win 1 match and lose 1 match, this situation is in between. We can't say what will happen or not by watching a match. However, Barcelona did not play according to our expectations from them.

Madrid is doing very well. We always pay very close attention to one thing, which is the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​​​and we all pay a lot of attention to it.

Barcelona are struggling to be in good form because many of their key players are injured, and if they don't return back to fitness, Barcelona will struggle to win their matches this season. Since the start of this season, Real Madrid has been performing well, and Real Madrid will capitalise on the current situation of Barcelona to lead Barcelona with a big point difference in the La Liga table.

[Dzwaafu11]

Several players in the Barcelona squad have suffered injuries at the same time. And that is why we are seeing a sharp decline in their performance. Barcelona lost the Champions League match against PSG. Barcelona lost against a strong opponent. I am not worried about that. But Barcelona lost 4-1 against Sevilla in the La Liga match. It is difficult to accept such a bad performance by Barcelona. And because of this defeat, Barcelona also lost the top spot in the table. If Barcelona's performance does not stabilize quickly, it will become even more difficult for Barcelona to occupy the top spot in the table. Hansi Flick now has to try to stabilize the current squad

Injuries are not a big concern for Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona's attacking players are injured, but Barcelona's problem is in defense. I think the players are not in good form and they are a bit tired. I am not too worried about the loss against PSG, because it was a game between two big teams and there will be wins and losses in the game. But the 4-1 defeat against Sevilla is definitely a concern for Barca. I am not disappointed with them yet, because they only played one bad game, which is part of the game.

Exactly. Barcelona had only one bad game, and already people are criticising too much, which I think the best thing is to wait and see what they will do in their next match before we can say Barcelona have declined in performance, although I must say the defeat was not a good record for them because we expected something lit in that match.

but at the end they messed up due to injuries andsome of their main players not being around, which was why the match ended that way, but I think Barcelona should have had a plan B ahead of a problem like this; they shouldn’t rely on some certain players.

[ndutndut]

When you play in a team with many talents this is one of the things that can happen, the strong team needs strong substitutes but often your time might never come, for this reason in my opinion strong teams should rotate their substitute talents so that they grow and don't stand still

Your point is correct, but maybe there are other factors why Endrick has only been a bench warmer until now, I think Xabi has observed Endrick in the middle of a training session with other players and feels he doesn't fit into his plans, this is what is on my mind right now but I also don't believe that Endrick can't contribute because he has extraordinary talent. The only chance for Endrick at this time is that he has to ask to be loaned to another team, because it's a shame if talent is not honed slowly it will dull.

If you pay attention to every Real Madrid lineup implemented by Xabi Alnso, it's always different in every match, this proves that Xabi is indeed searching for the right lineup. While in attack, Xabi Alnso gives Mbappe time because he always performs well and consistently scores goals, in attack and on the wings, Xabi is always looking for the right players who can build chemistry with Mbappé. Another problem currently emerging at Real Madrid is that several defenders are experiencing injuries, making Xabi Alnso think hard about facing important matches in both La Liga and UCL.

Regarding Endrick he must be patient, especially as he is recovering from a long term injury. He does have a goal-scoring instinct and a great shot, but he needs patience because the moment will surely come. However Real Madrid currently has two replacements for Mbappe Endrick and Gonzalo. Indeed the chances of both of them being at Real Madrid are slim. So to avoid hindering their development, I agree that both players should find new clubs, as starting them off as third choice players isn't a wise move for their futures. Their fates are very similar to Odegaard's when he was at Real Madrid.

If Barcelona's injured players can't return back to fitness before January, Hansi Flick strengthening his team in the January transfer window could be the best option to get Barcelona back to competing with Real Madrid this season, but since Barcelona are yet to solve their financial issues, it will be difficult for Hansi Flick to do that in January.

[Anayochukwu]

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.

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.

Lamine Yamal is just starting his football career, and he hasn't achieved half of what Ronaldo and Messi have achieved in their football careers, so comparing Lamine Yamal to Ronaldo and Messi is madness. Lamine Yamal is only 18, and he is yet to play football in his late 20s for us to know if he can continue with the same performance or improve it to become a better player in the future. Let's wait and see what type of player Lamine Yamal will become in the future to know if he can lace Ronaldo and Messi's boots.

I don't know why they would compare someone that is just starting his career journey to Ronaldo and Messi who are almost close to their retirement. Though Lamine Yamal have never shown half of effort that Ronaldo and Messi have shown to the world, so they are not in the same category because even with this age they are still performing well, which most of this young players can not do when they get to that stage. Ronaldo and Messi is a well known to talented players that have achieved their dreams, comparing them to the new beginners doesn't make sense at all because they still have a very long way to go.

[Juse14]

While it is true that at 18 year old Ronaldo and Messi did not make nearly as much as Yamal did, we have to also realize that at 18 years old, neither were doing that many wonders like Yamal did neither.
..............

When it comes to player salaries, the wages and transfer fees in modern football are simply unreasonable, and it's not uncommon for some players to earn huge salaries yet deliver underwhelming performances on the field, failing to make a significant contribution to their clubs. Regarding Yamal, it is true that the young prodigy from Catalonia plays exceptionally well, and it is an extraordinary achievement that at his age, he has already broken into the first team for both his club and the Spanish national team.

When you play in a team with many talents this is one of the things that can happen, the strong team needs strong substitutes but often your time might never come, for this reason in my opinion strong teams should rotate their substitute talents so that they grow and don't stand still

The only chance for Endrick at this time is that he has to ask to be loaned to another team, because it's a shame if talent is not honed slowly it will dull.

If Endrick is not part of Xabi Alonso's plans, I think rather than him just warming the bench, it would be better if Real Madrid loaned Endrick to another club, because playing time is very important for a player of his age, even if he is not playing for a big team.

Neither will benching him help improve his performance, Real Madrid are still in a tight space not to lose many games, if this young players are the future of the club and are being paid, they should be giving the little time to perform, it is going to help them in making progress, from the few allowed minutes, they can take corrections to become top class.

When Endrick had a bit of playing time, he wasn't really bad not to be giving the same minutes, even if Xabi don't see him adding to the team, in less important games with them already in the lead, he can have him as substitute. Endrick has potentials, what he need is chance to develop.

I feel like it's going to be a dilemma for every top club tbh. If you're not near the top level, it's very easy to drop youngsters because the result is important. A loan is always going to be the best option to get game time, unless you can replace someone in the starting lineup already. Then again, it's a problem a manager needs to solve at the highest level, so who knows what things go through a manager's mind when they decide to pick or drop someone. Sometimes you can't change their mind regardless of what you do in training.

[Alpha Marine]

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.

Endrick is simply not good enough for Madrid. He is not even good enough to be just a squad player. I can't blame any coach in Madrid for not playing him. Endrick has only one distinct quality as a centre forward, and that is ball striking. He has a very tremendous shot power with a little bit of accuracy; other than that, he's pretty basic in all areas. He is not tall or strong enough, so we can overlook everything and assume he would use his height. For a centre forward to be built like Endrick and succeed at the top level, he has to be extremely good, for example Alvarez and Aguero.

I expected him to get a loan move last summer, but he stayed. It was too obvious he had no future in Real Madrid. He should start looking for a way to leave, even if it's on loan. He shouldn't make the mistake of looking for a big team; he should look for a mid-table team in the top leagues, a team he can use to build his confidence. Maybe if he plays 5 years in a midtable team or a team he can get the experience, confidence and skill to play in a top club, but for now, he is not ready to even be a backup to Mbappe in Madrid.

Many of the current generation of fans, despite their limited knowledge of football, are unnecessarily exaggerating about Lamine Yamal but my comment to them is that when Messi and Ronaldo came up, maybe the clubs weren't sitting on so much money and they didn't invest so much money. So it might be really crazy to compare this young player with those two legends. Besides, the Spanish player, at his young age, is still trying to imitate all the skills of those two players. However this player is still trying to learn because in the new season's UEFA Champions League match we saw him take a free kick against PSG. But he couldn't use it properly there, meaning he's not yet as mature at free kicks as Messi and Ronaldo, so why is this young player being compared to those two world's best ?

[BitBakerr1]

Barcelona's best eleven is currently unable to participate on the field, which is why we see them losing to PSG but the manager of this team may still be determined to form a team, so it is a very skeptical statement that they will not have the courage to turn around after losing two matches. Barcelona's success is no longer with them, leaving them almost fragile due to the lack of just two key players. However it's correct that the team's conviction may not have waned yet. I completely believe that if if Barcelona want to find any success in this new season, they must make every effort to achieve consistency. because if they find new strategies, maybe they will be able to solve everything again and will be able to move themselves to a worthy position.

Several players in the Barcelona squad have suffered injuries at the same time. And that is why we are seeing a sharp decline in their performance. Barcelona lost the Champions League match against PSG. Barcelona lost against a strong opponent. I am not worried about that. But Barcelona lost 4-1 against Sevilla in the La Liga match.

If Barcelona's performance does not stabilize quickly, it will become even more difficult for Barcelona to occupy the top spot in the table. Hansi Flick now has to try to stabilize the current squad

The match between Barcelona and PSG was a very tough and difficult match and the two teams are very strong and informed when PSG won Barcelona in the champions League I did not see Barcelona as a team that is not informed or declining in performance I still saw them as a strong and informed team because PSG won with a difference of one goal and that happened towards the end of the match, however when they lost with the difference of three goals against Sevilla that was when I knew that truly Barcelona is declining in performance, Barcelona needs to work on their self however I believe that the coach will do something about it there defense is not strong anymore and they are not even playing as expected and that is because of the injury some of there players are having however they need to cover it up so it won't affect them in the champions League and even the la Liga League because if they continue this way they will surely miss the la Liga title.

Lamine Yamal is one of the distinctive player in Barcelona and his playing pattern is exclusively different from other teammate. Yamal is not even up to the prime age where he's getting all the PR he deserves and the hype is definitely getting out of hand. Who wouldn't look in the direction of Lamine Yamal who's busy developing his techniques. Lamine Yamal is quite different from the rest, he's a rare gem that have become a massive contribution to the club. What else can be determined for Lamine Yamal? He's young and there's probably more years for this spainish lad to play beautiful football. I'm keen on watching his extreme sensational abilities on the pitch.

Yamal is good but it is not yet time for people to equate Yamal with CR7 and Messi, Yamal still needs to prove that he is worthy of being the successor to the two legends, but to reach that stage Yamal also needs to discipline himself, namely reducing the free life he is currently living because of course this will affect his performance on the field.

I do not know why people were already in such a rush to compare yamal with the legends who worked hard and still working for year to attain the height they have, yamal may be really swift with achievements already at the very young age but he is still miles away from both legends and should be see in such light rather than the un matching comparison, this is not me hating on him or not seen is spectacular performances but spelling out the obvious and putting some respect on the work and dedication these legends has put in place over the years to get to the heights where they are now.

Everyone is so excited about Lamine Yamal because he is rare gem who has become international star within short time, largely because of his odd maturity and smart playing style, despite his youth. He is not like most young players as he is hard to guess in his attack on defenders with mix of speed and great ball control and hence hard to stop and already making huge effect with goals and assists to Barcelona. He has very big chance to do well with much of years to play even more, he can become one of most powerful and thrilling football stars of his time, and much needed new hero of club.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I completely agreed with what De Jong said. Kinda weird to see Barca's game against Villareal will be played on Miami, what the hell is wrong with La Liga? I know it's the last game before the winter break, but they obviously selling their integrity for money.
No wonder if many of their spanish local fans protested this kind of decision. I believe this will be snowballing from one to the mutiple games played abroad in one season.

What do you guys think? Do you like top football leagues to play their match abroad?

[Luzin]

What do you guys think? Do you like top football leagues to play their match abroad?

This competition has been agreed upon with home and away matches, which means it will disadvantage one of the teams. Ideally, when it comes to La Liga, the matches should be held in Spain. I am not exactly sure about the reason why Spain is not hosting the match in their country. But I read that La Liga has indeed wanted to move matches abroad since 2017. Even Barcelona, through its president, seems to support this decision. However, the Spanish Players Association apparently does not agree with this strange decision.

Barcelona vs PSG is one of the big matches this season, and in this match PSG did indeed perform better than Barcelona, ​​therefore they were able to get a win even though PSG had to play as guests. It's not just Barcelona that is having a headache with injury problems by the way, but PSG is also having the same problem as Barcelona, therefore, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Doue, and Marquinhos did not play in the match because they were also injured.

Losing against PSG might still be understandable because PSG is also a big team and they are currently in good form at the moment, but losing badly against Sevilla was quite embarrassing for Barcelona. They may have a dangerous front line, but on the contrary, their back line is really suck and I think that's why they conceded 4 goals to Sevilla. If there is no improvement, they might lose to Real Madrid in the following match.
