La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[snipie]

The Real Madrid team is not like the Barcelona team, Barcelona seems to have built the team around lamine yamal which is actually not good enough for the team...

There are many differences between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
First important thing is the availability of the money. Real Madrid doesn't have issues with recruitment at the opposite of Barcelona that rely on free transfers and the young players who promoted within the team.
Second thing is the option is available in case of injuries. As we saw before, Real Madrid suffered from injuries too especially in their defence squad in the previous season and that affected their level, same goes for Barcelona with Yamal out. The problem with Barcelona is that indeed they need Yamal and they don't have a player who can replace it. Raphinha alone can't do big things and Lewandowski is no longer that effective due to its age.
I just don't agree with saying Yamal is not good. He is a talented player that requires more time to become better, the problem is injuries, he has to avoid them as much as possible.

Xabi Alonso simply needs to implement a more perfect player rotation so he doesn't face injuries midway through the season, as Real Madrid did last season. Real Madrid's squad is in good shape this season, but Xabi Alonso still needs to polish it so Real Madrid can be in truly prime condition and avoid fatal errors in crucial matches. And actually, Real Madrid's desired targets are always realistic based on their capabilities, but I really want to see Real Madrid achieve a treble winner in any season because that is something that Real Madrid has not achieved so far.

So far, Xabi has implemented this rotation, the purpose of which is to maximize the potential of all their players, provide playing time for the players, and also reduce the risk of injury, especially against elite clubs. However, against top clubs, Xabi usually places key players in the starting eleven.

And so far, the injured players have been several defenders. By the way, Mbappé also suffered an ankle injury while in France, so he has now returned to Real Madrid to begin treatment.

His salary is not high but Barcelona has long-standing financial problems, in terms of salary it is quite fair for De Jong with his performance and achievements, that is his current market price, he should humble himself and accept the fact that his team cannot pay as usual because of these difficulties, but whether he will be humble or not in the current season, with De Jong's performance it is certainly very easy for him to find another team to get a new deal at the same cost.

Barcelona money issues  started noy long ago and that is what have been affecting there performance because Barcelona have been trying to maintain. And they have been doing well even If they are having financial issues they still trying to maintain stability even at the expense of there challenges.

And even till now they are still trying to maintain stability and it is working well for them. And even flick is doing well and I think is the best option for Barcelona and don't be surprised to see them winning the la Liga this season but real madrid is still topping the table and madrid is still leading so we should expect something better from them. And Barcelona I have assurance on Barcelona because even with there situations instability you will see them winning the la Liga and its nothing new so nothing  surprising about them winning,  but real madrid might decide to surprise us this season by winning this season to because they both have the capacity.

Not long ago? Didn't you read further, we know that Bareclona has had financial problems for a long time and the worst was in 2020 due to financial management errors and excessive transfer fees beyond their capabilities which failed, because in the 19-20 and 20-21 seasons it was controlled by Madrid and Atletico Madrid at that time.

And the coach before Hansi Flick, namely Xavi, only did the best they could do to survive and win the championship at that time, both of them worked with all their strength which was accompanied by financial problems that hit them hard, and these financial problems Barcelona were also forced to sell commercial rights such as their own training ground.

He may be joking because I know that this financial issues that Barcelona have faced is more than six years now. If am not wrong, I think that it started when Eric abidal was still their sporting director, and what I heard was that because they were desperate to compete with real madrid in the Spanish laliga, they when above their budget severally just to sign Coutinho, Dembele and few others players they were unable to afford, which put them in a difficult financial situation they are still struggling with till now, so if he is saying that it happens of recent, then it shows that he is not even aware of what really happens to the finances of Barcelona.

I think Real Madrid's performance has been excellent, with only one defeat. That's understandable, as every team experiences ups and downs in their performance. However, Real Madrid only lost against Atletico Madrid, and they managed to regain their victory in the following match. If they were to ask the team to maintain their impressive performance with consecutive wins, I think it would be very difficult.

Real Madrid have won both Champions League matches, clearly showing their focus on the Champions League. Real Madrid remains very strong, despite the departure of their senior players in the summer transfer window, but their performance hasn't declined. That's their strength in maintaining a stable and strong performance this season. Xabi Alonso is a great coach, and I'm sure he will bring success to Real Madrid this season.

It's true, it's very difficult to go undefeated in every match, even though Real Madrid has a fairly good squad. However, I think what disappointed many was perhaps Real Madrid big loss to Atletico, a result that should never have happened.
It's perfectly realistic for Real Madrid to aim to win La Liga and the Champions League this season, considering they've spent a significant amount of money building a fairly lavish squad.
Xabi Alonso certainly understands the demands of the club top brass, but if his key players are frequently injured like last season, I think it will be very difficult to achieve that.

Currently, Real Madrid's performance is quite consistent, as evidenced by their consistent wins in almost every match. So, if Real Madrid is currently considered a great team, I think that's perfectly reasonable. However, in my personal opinion, Real Madrid's current performance isn't quite up to par with their performance under Ancelotti in the past few seasons. 

However, this season, Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid, which I believe can be used as a benchmark for Real Madrid's current peak performance. Furthermore, in the Champions League, Real Madrid has won all of its matches so far. However, I think that's understandable, as the teams Real Madrid faced weren't particularly strong. In the first match, Real Madrid played Marseille and in the second, Kairat. Therefore, it's natural for Real Madrid to win both matches.



But in the upcoming match, Real Madrid will face a fairly strong team, Juventus. So, I think this match will be the one we'll see how Real Madrid truly performs. Juventus' performance is certainly quite comparable to Real Madrid's. So, with that in mind, I think it's a good time to assess Real Madrid's strength in this match.

The Real Madrid team is not like the Barcelona team, Barcelona seems to have built the team around lamine yamal which is actually not good enough for the team, but in the Real Madrid team they have lots of star players are there to deliver I know Mbappe's injury might quite have an effect on the team but not that much and again it will kind of set him back a bit in terms of running for the highest goal scorre in that league and in my own side I will some how find their games not much interesting because the vinicius Jr and Mbappe's combination is something else and I enjoy watching them.

I also thought like that when I recently saw when several key Barcelona players were injured and Barcelona immediately experienced a decline if Hansi could only build players around Lamine Yamal it was very bad because the coach should not only rely on one or two players he must have a different strategy to anticipate things like now when Yamal was injured Hansi Flick could use other players with a different strategy so that Barcelona could still perform well even with players with a different composition.

This is even know recent times because Barcelona was not like this before, they did equally had the almost same level of importance and relevance spread equally amongst all of their players until this time that they now partially center it around yamal due to his exceptionality but I think  that will not be the cadd soon because we have the likes of rashford and others rising to the the front to lead the team with their brilliance in performance too.

Yes, it cannot be denied that Barcelona is currently not as good as Real Madrid in terms of squad equity. Because Barcelona only relies on players like Yamal, and when he gets injured, the team's performance really declines. So, actually, that's quite bad for a team like Barcelona. Because they should be able to have a more even squad. But perhaps Barcelona also doesn't want to do that, but because Barcelona may currently still have a less than ideal financial situation, therefore they can only rely on players already in the team and perhaps take new young players from La Masia.

So, I think that's the reason why Barcelona is currently not as even as before in terms of player performance. But if we talk about Real Madrid, until now they have not faced any significant obstacles regarding their financial situation. So every season they can shop for new players who have good quality. But even so, I don't think we can totally say that Real Madrid is a perfect team. Because they also clearly have their weaknesses. So with that in mind, I think the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid this season will remain fierce and interesting.

Real Madrid is one of the biggest teams in the world. Naturally, you, like everyone else, have every right to expect them to win the treble. I believe they still have a chance to win all three trophies. Real Madrid is still one of the most serious teams in the Champions League. They're also currently leading the Spanish league. They have a squad full of young players, and in a few years, they'll likely be a formidable team in Europe. Watching them play in the Spanish league would be truly enjoyable. We enjoy the Champions League in a similar way.

I agree with you; actually, that's Barcelona's problem. Even when Messi was artillery in the Barcelona club, the same thing was happening, and could you believe that after Messi left Barcelona, their game had totally changed and their performance became very low? Then Ansu Fati came up and helped them win some matches, and then Yamal became Barcelona's key player right now, whom they can't do without. Even in their last match, Yamal wasn't in the game they could not be able to meet up.

I largely agree with your that real madrid is one of the biggest and the most successful team in the world but by looking at their current team, I don't think they have what it takes to go all the way in the uefa champions league because their team is way to young and naive to compete with other top teams.
If you are talking of a few years time from now, I will agree to it because they would have been mature by then, but as for now, they are not ready, besides Xabi Alonso is still building and trying to find his best team, so as for now, I don't think they  have what it takes to compete with the bigger boys.

Real Madrid is always a very strong team, and I feel winning the Champions League is always a priority for them, because they have won the tournament in so many occasions and I think they are the team that have won more Champions League, I don’t think they have won 3 trophies in a single season, because they is always hard they achieve and they aren’t a team to particularly focus on a single trophy, they will need to have an adventure were they will focus on different trophies as well, And they will also try to avoid some injuries because they will have a good and successful season, because a team that avoids injuries have more chances of winning a trophy.

As you said, the most important thing will be staying injury-free. If they can stay injury-free, they might have a shot at winning the title. Or rather, a chance to complete the treble. But if they injure key players and assume they won't be on the pitch, they won't even win a single title, let alone a treble. Last year, injuries in defense prevented them from winning any trophies, and they were crushed by Barcelona.

[IceLincoln]

Madrid has played 10 official matches (La Liga and Champions League) and has only lost once in those 10 matches. I don't understand why Real Madrid is said to be not yet performing well.

They are currently in pretty good shape. Okay, maybe in some people's view, good play should encompass the whole picture, such as ball possession from the start, unmatched determination, or perhaps not being attacked, but in the end, as long as they win, and they have won 9 times so far, that means they are in good shape.

Perhaps the loss to Atlético could be a reason here, but was Barcelona’s performance good enough when they lost to Sevilla?
I think the dissatisfaction with Madrid right now is unfounded and seems to imply that there are still complaints, even though everything still looks good.

I think they are not entertained on the fact that Real Madrid isn't making noise as they are playing like people expect them. When Barcelona win games, they make noise as if they are already winning the trophy but when Real Madrid win, they don't bother to want to drag it with anyone, they are just happy they won and move to the next one but if it's Barcelona and Atletico Madrid players, they will idolized that game and rub it on every Real Madrid fans.

I still love the fact that Barcelona were humble by Sevilla when everyone thinks they are the best but they are not. They are just lucky team that are hot now that heavily dependent on Raphina and Yamal, without those two the team isn't completed but if it's Real Madrid we're to be in there shoe, they can win any game without any big players in Real Madrid that's why I'm not worried where Real Madrid stands now in the table because I can see some people are already in panic because Mbape had injury even though it's a minor one.

You’ve spoken like a hardcore Madrid fan, and if you’re saying that Madrid don’t make noise you lie, you make d biggest noise both the club and the fans and you also act the bully sometimes.
Barcelona is not a lucky thing in anyway, there’s nothing that they do that’s luck, all round the players are hard workers, technical and skilful and they put in their best each game they just need to work on their defending strategies cause that’s what causes their loss most times.
The Mbappe’s injury I feel it’s a facade, since he joined Madrid he’s been somewhat reluctant to play for his country except in top tournaments always one excuse or the other but once he gets to Madrid he’s well, even Vinicius was said to have injury. This attitude of Madrid didn’t start today, I remember when Di Maria came out to speak on how Madrid made him miss out on the World Cup final that Argentina lost.

Yamal is truly a special talent. I understand the manager building games around him, because I think he deserves it. However, a team like Barcelona can't be managed by a single player unless your player is Messi. Yamal isn't currently at Messi's level. He might reach that level in a few years, but right now, the team needs to be playing well as a whole, not rely on just one individual player.

[katanic97]

Real Madrid vs Barcelona El Clasico, once again we will have to predict what the outcome will be. Real Madrid are not yet performing well to believe they can defeat Barcelona in the game, with Barcelona little players issue, they may not outperform Madrid totally like in past season, a tie in the match might be considered, or Real Madrid defending their home match.

Madrid has played 10 official matches (La Liga and Champions League) and has only lost once in those 10 matches. I don't understand why Real Madrid is said to be not yet performing well.

Perhaps the loss to Atlético could be a reason here, but was Barcelona’s performance good enough when they lost to Sevilla?
I think the dissatisfaction with Madrid right now is unfounded and seems to imply that there are still complaints, even though everything still looks good.

I agree that the results show what kind of form they’re in and that they’re playing well. But when you look at it, as soon as a slightly more serious team like Atletico came along, they beat them 5–2, which, let’s be honest, is a really tough loss for Madrid. They have three difficult matches coming up  Getafe, then right after that Juventus in the Champions League, and then el clasico. It’s going to be tough for Real to handle all that, but we’ll see how it goes. Mbappe can’t do everything on his own...

[Mayor of ogba]

Mbappe has a right ankle injury, a recurring injury that's likely not serious.
International breaks can sometimes have negative consequences for teams, but sometimes they can be detrimental. Real Madrid is certainly the team at a disadvantage, but if Mbappe's injury is short-lived, I don't think it will have a major impact.

On the other hand, I think Barcelona has a slight advantage due to the international break. Their form has been very poor, and their confidence has plummeted after two consecutive defeats. With the international break, I think they have plenty of time to resolve these issues.

This is why sometimes teams do wish it were possible they keep their players back because some times International break can coat them a whole lot actually and this is one of such situations but luckily for Real Madrid it's one that will not keep him out of the pitch of play for just too long. For Barcelona I just hope they are able to actually take advantage of this and get their points stacked up because even Barcelona can sometimes be unpredictable.

Coaches know that when players are on international duty for their country, they easily sustain injury, and they wish they could stop their players from going for international duty so they won't be injured, but they don't have the power to do it because they can't stop their players from representing their country. Barcelona's poor performance this season is because of their key players being injured, so I think they won't take advantage of this season since they will be playing without their few key players.

This year, they're finding themselves in the same situation Real Madrid found themselves in last year. That's why Real Madrid lost the championship last year, and Barcelona won. Could Barcelona and Real Madrid win the title this year if they suffer long-term injuries? Real Madrid is looking very good right now, but their problem could change with a few injuries. I think injuries can have a very decisive effect on the football world these days. No matter how well the squad is rotated, a team is negatively impacted.

[New Judgement]

Barcelona's poor performance this season is because of their key players being injured, so I think they won't take advantage of this season since they will be playing without their few key players.

If they are counting teams that are performing poorly this season in Europe top 5 leagues, Barcelona won't be among those teams. Barcelona is second in the league table, they were topping the league table before losing to Sevilla the weekend before the international break. I don't agree with you that Barcelona is performing poorly this season because the statistics says otherwise. Barcelona has scored so many goals already this season and they are just 2 points behind league leaders Real Madrid.

Mbappé's injury will certainly have a major impact on Real Madrid's performance, but it has been confirmed that Mbappé's injury is not serious, so his absence is unlikely to be long.

The team management and coaches do not have the authority to keep players from representing their country, regardless of the risks to the team, but that's the rule.

As for Barcelona, ​​they have been excellent this season. It would be unfair to say that Barcelona is in a slump. In fact, I think Barcelona could be even stronger this season than last.

Yes New Judgement you are correct, just because Barcelona lost to Sevilla does not mean that they are not informed they are very much informed and they are not also performing poorly they are doing very well, we can't use because of one lost or two Lost to judge a team, just like new judgment said they are still second on the table and a team that is second on the table in their league is not performing poorly.
The only reason Barcelona did not win Sevilla was because of some injury their players are having and some mistake that they made in the match I believe after this international break Barcelona will perform very well and they win their matches, Real Madrid topping the table is not an assurance that they will lift the League title this season, if Barcelona players recover from their injury I believe they have full chance of lifting the league title this season.
