La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Cossyblack]

Vinicius Junior was enjoying his game before being substituted sadly and we get many players will feel the same but his reaction wasn't any good either.

Xabi Alonso show maturity not speaking about this in public and I think both will come in good terms and he must have been told by others that he reacted poorly by the way.

I know how Vinicus is enjoying the game and then suddenly being replaced with another player will be a disappointing reaction, but it's not good to overdo it and only the coach knows how to manage his tactics.

Maybe it's just a knee-jerk reaction that won't last long.
But all was well after Real Madrid won despite the chaos at the end.

Vini and his attitude is something he needs to resolve. It was clear that Vini junior was really performing well and more better in the pitch, for me I won't say that the coach made an unnecessary substitution, it is the right thing for him, and as you have written, he knows why he removed Vini junior. We recall that Vini was on yellow card, and come on truth me, any thing can happen in the game and the coach, quickly subbed him off to safe any further defeats. That is also he removed him. It can be as a result of giving Vini some resting time, as it will be better in that way.

Vini had a really outstanding performance. His reaction was simply coz he wanted to prove a point on the pitch by shutting the Barcelona's players mouth up once and for all....... .Well concerning his attitude,  I will say that if Vini is upset about something he really cannot hold it inside of him, he usually burst out. But then his anger in this case is justified coz most big player would react in the same way he did. Ronaldo, and even probably Kylian M. would most likely have reacted the same way if they were subbed of after delivering an excellent performance but then couldn't secure a goal to make their team have a very comfortable lead for victory against their rival

I remember how Cristiano Ronaldo reacted when he was substituted by Ralf Rangnick,he reacted angrily. I think it's a normal character seen in players. I think Vinicius junior reaction isn't justifiable in any sense, because by reacting negatively,he is indirectly undermining Xabi Alonso power to substitute any players of his choice as head coach.
According to report, Vinicius junior wouldn't be punished but I still feel he should be punished &  used as an example for other players to learn. I think players like Vinicius junior should learn to control their Emotions, bursting in anger do not show maturity.

Actually, both teams are after the point, no doubt about that. Though the game was very interesting, and the Atlentico Madrid players are hard working players, and I am impressed by their commitment, it's just that when they meet with big teams, sometimes they easily lose their form, especially when the opponent team is leading them by goals, but this recent match played between them and Real Betis was an impressive performance. Their strategy actually seems to be their teamwork, although Real Betis were also good at playing an interesting game, but eventually Atletico Madrid managed to secure good points in their recent match. I just hope they continue putting in these efforts even in their upcoming matches. Well, Atletico Madrid-2 Real Betis-0.

Atletico Madrid aren't the type of club you can rely on, I keep saying this that's why their performance is shaky. Like you said,when you'd expect them to perform especially when they against teams that they should beat comfortably, they'd flounder and make so much mistakes you'd begin to wonder if they were the same club that defeated a much stubborn side.
Diego Simeone is the longest serving coach in the Laliga if I'm not mistaken and with his experience, it should have set the team on a certain level of importance but instead, season in season out, they are comfortable at being in the top four and not aiming for something higher.

It would not be wrong to consider Yamal as a worthy replacement for Messi. Yamal is  capable of performing well. Although he is not able to score as many goals as Messi. Anyway, we can see that Yamal's performance is getting stronger  day by day. He is also a little behind due to injuries. Yamal needs to  be more aware of his fitness.

With his current condition and lifestyle not being improved, I don't think he can last long or become a star like Messi. Comparing him to Messi at this point is too far-fetched; Messi is far better than Yamal. Moreover, in the match against Madrid last week, he showed no respect for the senior players. I think he is a budding star, but if he is in the wrong environment, he will not last long, and I agree with many opinions that Yamal could collapse if he doesn't have good self-management. Talent without management will be wasted; if he can be disciplined like Ronaldo, he will become a great player.

I feel the same way you do. Yamal's private life has become a topic of discussion. I don't know how true it is, but he's become increasingly prominent with his numerous girlfriends.
I've known Messi's playing career from the very beginning, and he's never been in the spotlight for his personal life.
During Real Madrid matches, the Real Madrid fans always whistled in protest whenever the ball came to Yamal's feet. I don't know the reason, but the Real Madrid fans have always been respectful of Messi. Because Messi has always been respectful.
If Yamal continues like this, he'll become a bubble like Neymar and deflate. Neymar once became popular. He was considered the top candidate to replace Messi, but now he's enjoying his final moments at Santos.
I hope he pulls himself together soon and focuses solely on football.

However, a winning situation for Real Madrid can happen only if majority of Barcelona key players still injured until the end of season. They have Lewa, Raphina, Olmo, Garcia and Gavi injured together. It's obvious no club can overcome Madrid even Barcelona too.

Barcelona still has a long way to go, but i agree that some players should talk less and play more in the matches against the Real Madrid players themselves, clearly they did it too early and lost, surely karma has ruined them, i don't like the behavior

[changaa]

Barcelona cannot be called a disorganized team after just one match. Last season El Clasico was won by Barcelona and Real Madrid performance was not that good. Rashford and Lamine performed well in the previous match but they could not do well in the match against Real Madrid. Raphinha could not play due to injury which had a negative impact on the team. Xavi is definitely the hero of this victory because Hansi Flick's strategy did not work well in this match. Mbappe has scored 11 goals in 10 matches in La Liga this season and can be called a goal machine. Real Madrid game is improving and if they can keep this up they have a chance to win the trophy.

You shouldn't judge Barcelona by this match, the Classic is a match in itself that has its own dynamics and can't be mixed with other types of matches, i am sure that this means that the other matches will be different and they will make different steps forward, so we have to wait.

Atletico Madrid fans were undoubtedly very happy because their team managed to secure 3 points from Betis. Atletico Madrid is now in 4th place, and they must not let their guard down because it would be unfortunate if they dropped in the rankings again. In that match, fortunately, I bet on Atletico Madrid's victory, which ultimately paid off. Did you also profit from betting on that match? In the next match, Atletico Madrid will face Sevilla. In my opinion, Atletico Madrid has a high chance of winning in that match because their squad is stronger than Sevilla's. What do you think?

Atletico Madrid are having a really good season and they didn't get off to the best start, clearly the fact that Real Madrid is so far away makes all their hopes of reaching first place vanish.
But that doesn't mean they can't do well, i remain confident for them

Of course Barcelona is not disorganized this season but their performance last season seems to be much better than this season, not just because they lost in the Classico but when you look at how many matches they’ve dropped point this season. In the league this season they have lose 2 games and 1 draw in just 10 matches which is unlike them, and also a lose in the champions league against PSG.

Alonso so far is doing well and since Zidane he was the first coach to win an El Classico in first try.

You shouldn't judge Barcelona by this match, the Classic is a match in itself that has its own dynamics and can't be mixed with other types of matches, i am sure that this means that the other matches will be different and they will make different steps forward, so we have to wait.

No one is judging Barcelona, their overall performance have not been good compared to that of last season. Flick really needs to put this boys in order. They have lose 2 Laliga games and draw 1 in just 10 matches, that unlike them. We really hope after the Classico saga they improve their game.

[cande86]

Possibility for Lamine Yamal become the top world class players in the future if can control well with his lifestyle, seeing many top young Brazil players have downtrend performance after bad life and talk more at social media than focus for working hard to play as well as for every games with their club.

Lamine Yamal is a player who should be much calmer and much more humble, at that age it's not right for him to behave in that way.

Everyone knows it and you should be more polite with all the people in the environment but if you haven't had a good education this is impossible to learn

[Rashlyowl]

Next week, Real Madrid and Barcelona will play at home in the Spanish league. Real Madrid will play Valencia, and Barcelona will face Elche. I expect both teams to win. What are your expectations for next week? Do you believe Barcelona or Real Madrid could drop points?

The La Liga standings are getting hotter because Real Madrid managed to beat Barcelona in the last El Clasico. For Barcelona itself, they have no reason to lose in the next match. Meanwhile, Real Madrid must maintain their efforts so that their points cannot be overtaken by Barcelona. My prediction is the same as yours, 3 points each will be added for them. But that is just an expectation, the final result will determine it later.

Almost everyone thinks they'll win their matches next week. Real Madrid is playing brilliantly and have started beating Barcelona. While Barcelona haven't played very effectively against Real Madrid, they are much stronger than the other teams in the league. Therefore, they have a very high chance of winning their matches and will easily defeat their opponents next week.

As posted by Fabrizio earlier today, the 18 year old finally unfollows Carvajal on Instagram, the guess is good as mine. It's definitely after yesterday's bowl after the final whistle that must have made him to unfollow him. But who cares, how is it going to affect Carvajal. The only thing he can do is to snub his at the national team just as he did to Williams after he refused to sign for Barcelona, lol.

It’s not only Lamine Yamal, even Pedri and Gerard Martin unfollowed him. I think this kids are taking it too far, El Classico always brings heat and pressure but they have to be matured about it, we the fans always love watching el Classico not just for the match but also for the drama. There was an El Classico where Ramos fouled Messi badly and when  the players gathered he pushed down Puyol his National team captain and also Xavi after he got the red card, it was like he wanted to fight everybody but after that game it died, I don’t think they had any issues, everything ends in the field of play, don’t take it outside.
Of all these bad attitudes Vinicius seems to be the worst cos he’s no longer a kid but he’s not changing, still childish and throwing tantrums up and down.

Atletico Madrid is a fairly monotonous team. They're not a particularly good team compared to Real Madrid and Barcelona. But they're not a bad team either. It's just that they're too monotonous because they always manage to secure a Champions League spot, and they seem content with that. What I'm curious about is why the club continues to hold on to Diego Simeone. Are they afraid to take the risk of bringing in a new coach, or is there some other reason?

I know Diego Simeone is actually a good coach. But if Atletico Madrid continues like this, it will also be quite boring. Although Atletico Madrid often fails in La Liga, I think they should be able to compete more closely in the Champions League. Atletico Madrid's squad depth is actually quite good. And if this team is utilized optimally, reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League wouldn't be difficult.

[cande86]

Although Vinicius Junior is considered selfish, his presence in that match actually made things difficult for Barcelona. I saw his speed, which really troubled the Barcelona defense.
Even Yamal, who was helping out in defense, was occasionally troubled by Vinicius, who showed skill by getting past several Barcelona players.
His mistake may have been his inability to control his emotions, which was clearly evident when Xabi Alonso replaced him.
However, in terms of skill, the Brazilian player is above average compared to some other Real Madrid players. If he can manage his excessive emotions, perhaps the Ballon d'Or is only a matter of time.
That's indeed the style of play Vinicius Junior displays, and I believe he's a quality player, despite his ego. His contribution to Real Madrid is immense in every match.
Vinicius Junior's significant contribution was clearly evident against Barcelona, and it was a high-tension match, so it's natural for some players to be emotional and a little egotistical in their efforts to help their team.

Vinicius Junior is a great player and has made himself much more useful than Yamal and Xabi Alonso knew this and in fact he immediately used him for a very important contribution.
Now, about his quarrelsome nature, it's nothing new, but in my opinion he was better than many other players.

El Clasico matches are always presented with high tension, and some young players get carried away by the atmosphere, causing them to overreact, negatively impacting their performance. While several Barcelona players performed below their usual level, I focused on Yamal. In my opinion, he became the center of attention because of his attitude before the match, then he slumped during the match due to his very poor mentality, as he is still a young player. This was a mistake on Yamal's part.

Vinicius overreacting during the match cannot be blamed; this is the result of the high tension in El Clasico matches, and Yamal was the main cause of the chaos that occurred.

While Barcelona haven't played very effectively against Real Madrid, they are much stronger than the other teams in the league. Therefore, they have a very high chance of winning their matches and will easily defeat their opponents next week.

Madrid will face Valencia in their next match. The team, which is currently struggling in the relegation zone, will certainly not find it easy to face Madrid. Xavi might rest some players or only give them limited playing time in that match. This is because in the next game, Madrid will face Liverpool in the Champions League.
However, if Xavi plays his best squad, I think Valencia could concede a lot of goals. Barcelona beat Valencia 6-0, so I think Madrid could also achieve a big win.

[Adiljutt156]

It was a super crazy game, Real Madrid deserves the victory and they can also win in a much comfortable way but the VAR was there to prevent it, Barcelona is facing real problems, when Lamine Yamal is not at his best the team lacks of that spark and they cant generate real danger, some other players are also not in his best and the defence is in shablings right now.

Real Madrid football team performance was very well against Barcelona football team in all points of view and many players of that team did excellent in this match. Mbappé was a person who did goal in this match and that was important goal of this match because it gave support to the team to win the match and after that we saw match changes in the match. López was a person who made match interesting and he did goal at 38 minutes of the match.The  shots of Barcelona football team were less in this match and these were only 13 and 6 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was not bad and that was 52 percent in this match and their passes were also more in number and these were 617 .

Of all these bad attitudes Vinicius seems to be the worst cos he’s no longer a kid but he’s not changing, still childish and throwing tantrums up and down.

They are all very young players and their emotional reactions on social media can be easily explained but in the past with Ronaldo and Messi, Guardiola and Mourinho fighting against each other in many seasons, there were similar conflicts between Spanish players who played for Barcelona and Real Madrid. Anyway, when they played for Spanish national team, no problems at all. I believe that Yamal, Pedri and Martin will have no issues when playing with Carvajal for their national team in the next matches as well as in World Cup 2026.

El Clasico matches are always presented with high tension, and some young players get carried away by the atmosphere, causing them to overreact, negatively impacting their performance. While several Barcelona players performed below their usual level, I focused on Yamal. In my opinion, he became the center of attention because of his attitude before the match, then he slumped during the match due to his very poor mentality, as he is still a young player. This was a mistake on Yamal's part.

Yamal tried to mock Real Madrid before the El Clasico and he deserved to be treated badly by Carvajal and Real Madrid players. They are all human and you can not cry after losing a match and receiving overreaction from your opponent players from what you said badly about them before the clash. Carvajal as an old and experienced player should control his emotion and action better but Yamal actually learned very big lesson from this El Clasico and this drama.

I can say you is right, he's doing really poorly at the moment compared to the past. I think he had more points on the same day this week.
In any case, it's not a big club and I understand that it's not easy to find the money to invest. Of course is hard for all, but for small team is more hard

What the fuck, this kids needs real punishment, they need to know who is the boss and they need to know they cant do whatever they want and they need to know how to behave like and adult.

I really hope the coach of the national team calls all of them and punish them in front of the whole squad they are a real piece of shit as a person.

[ginsan]

Yamal's indiscriminate actions before the match started were indeed a form of immaturity in keeping his mouth shut and he was too arrogant as a newcomer, even though he was great but still at a low level, and see how this El Classico match goes, for a Yama lost space because Real Madrid put pressure and aggressiveness on this arrogant young player.

You have to realize Yamal is 18 years old, think about it, what were you doing when you at 18 years old. I would say it's very normal to be arrogant, a young kid who play very good that most young players can't do like him, for sure he will think himself is the best and look down to other players.

Rather than Yamal, Vinicius is way more bad than him, he's already 25 years old and still being childish.

It's not justifiable even though Vini made a mistake too, if Yamal continues to be given space to do things like that at the age of 25 he will become even worse because he will not get a deterrent effect from his careless remarks, he is provoking and that is not good ethics as a young person, arrogance can kill him friends, don't let it continue.

Both are wrong, no one is right and must be the arbiter, ethics must be prioritized on a professional board, not because you have talent and are considered great by a handful of people you can do and say whatever you want, if that is allowed the rivalry will be built with scorn and emotionality on the field, haven't you seen it yourself from the effects? if this gets into the hearts of the fanatical fans of both teams, then they will clash and become a horde of hitters every El Classico match.
