La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Adbitco]

Lol, funny coach. So Hansi Flick actually came out to claim that it was because Raphinha wasn't in the game that's why they lost. Yes Barcelona beat Real Madrid 4x last season no doubt but didn't same Real Madrid beat this same Barcelona 4x two seasons ago and wasn't same Raphinha in the team when they lost 4x to Real Madrid. Typical Barcelona attitude though so I'm not surprised. Last season when Real Madrid lost, I didn't hear Ancelotti coming to claim that it was because his injured players were not in the match that's why his team lost.

This was an actual open declaration of Barcelonas dependency on a player, it sounded a bit off that the coach had to mention that, but then for whatsoever reason he did, I hope he get to fix his team because if by the end of the season they have nothing to show for the season, most of the blame will be pushed to him and not the team. Both teams have had a fair share of defeat and wins against each other in the past and this time happens to fall in favour of Madrid taking advantage of Barcelona.

True though, if they happen to win nothing at the end of the season, the blame will fall on him but even as a person who doesn't support the club, I think it would be unfair to blame him on this. Injuries to players is a killer and I know how it affect ms teams negatively, I know injury is part of the game but it still doesn't mean it's effect isn't felt on the team. For Barcelona, this season they have had their fair share of injuries and just as I felt for Real Madrid as a club when they were passing through this injury crisis, it's same way I'm feeling for Barcelona.

I really want the second leg to feature Raphinha and all of those other player they claim they missed so that we see what other excuse he has in the closet in case the lose again.

Barcelona team and the coach should come up with a better excuse or they should better go work on their performance and stop trying to play the game with mouth instead of their foot, they should accept their loss their players was complete when PSG defeated them in the champions League and if their injured players come back if they are not careful Real Madrid will add more goals in the return leg. Yamal should be ready to be sent off in the return leg cause the kid is becoming too loud.

After El Clasico, both teams are facing relatively weaker opponents. Barcelona will play with Elche and Real Madrid will play with Valencia. Both teams should win comfortably, then El Clasico effect will fade. The standings likely won't change at the top. As much as I'd like to see Valencia get some points, they're not as strong as they were in the early 2000's. In fact, they're currently in the relegation zone. It's sad to see them in this situation. They'll probably climb back to mid-table, but it'll be very difficult for them to reach a position that qualifies for European competitions.

For Barcelona facing Elche I don't think it will be much of a problem even if the visitors are trying to get themselves into the top 5 that won't save them from the hands of the angry host Barcelona and they'll make sure of scoring all the goals they didn't score against Madrid unless Elche show Barcelona the reason why they are still in a healthy position on the table. To be frank with you, the Elche side look like a team that will survive this season without getting close to the relegation zone any time soon, lets see if they can stop Barcelona from causing much damage.
For Madrid I'm a little bit afraid because since they did well by putting on a good performance last time against Barcelona they might go back to default settings by playing too weak and also playing a draw if possible lose the game, it could happen and Valencia are going to try their best to withstand the pressure of the league leaders but can they get out of the relegation zone?

I also thought as much, Real Madrid leading the top of the table with the highest points, but that doesn’t mean we can choose them as the favorites to win the title since there are still more games for both teams to play. We all know how good Xabi Alonso is. His aim now is to make Real Madrid win the title in the first season he begins managing them, and there’s still a lot of work for them to do because football is unpredictable. Barcelona will try by all means to cover all the points gaps between them and Real Madrid, but as you stated earlier let bear with that we can wait and what is going to happen at the end of the title.

Yeah 5 points ahead is not yet safe for Real Madrid to secure the title and Barcelona only need 2 wins to catch up meaning the race is still open for both teams, we know that Barcelona currently has problems with several injured players and they still have plenty of time to overcome it so I think the fight can continue after mid season. In the next 2 matches Barcelona will face Elche and Celta Vigo it should be a good time to recover lost points yeah at least to stay on the race track. I am also waiting for Lamine Yamal back to his best performance.

Last season has several twists in ranks between Barcelona and Real Madrid and they had lessons from it too. 5 point are big but also small between two strong competitors for a title in a long season as if anything suddenly happens like injury crisis and declining form within 2 or 3 matches, many things can be changed in rank if your competitor performs well during the same period.

Real Madrid are performing very convincingly and gaining good results so far but the season is long enough for many unwanted things to happen. Xabi Alonso has his role of managing the team well in a whole season as at the season ending, whether they win titles or finish a season with empty hands. Barcelona must be more careful with their performances from now but surely 5 point difference than Real Madrid is not like the end of La Liga competition between the two giants in Spain.

I remembered the previous session when Real Madrid went ahead at the top standings with many different points, but after a week they have many losses on several matches that made Barcelona shift to the 1st position. So when Real Madrid consistently appears, Mbappe, jude, vini, guller and others play as a team, I am sure La Liga trophy will landing on Santiago Bernabeu. shortfall in the previous period has been fixed by Xabi, He only refined the current squad, and sharpening the attack line with the new composition. As we know real madrid will play sharply if there is supply from midfield.

[Tamaperdana]

Endrick problem is growing at Real Madrid. Endrick hasn't played a single second in any game this season and he is very unhappy. He was included in the squad for 8 games but never got to play. He played last season and did very well. It's impossible to understand why he was suddenly dropped from the team this season. If things continue like this, Real Madrid will lose him. I'm certain he'll be loaned out to another team during the winter transfer window. Lyon has already added him to their transfer list.

Yes, the point is that Xabi and Ancelotti have very different tastes. So, maybe last season, Endrick played a lot at Real Madrid because Ancelotti probably thought that Endrick's performance was good enough and worthy of being a player who often gets playing minutes. But this season, as we know, Real Madrid is no longer coached by Ancelotti, so that's why Endrick might not get many playing minutes. Because Xabi probably thinks Endrick's performance is not worthy of being played at Real Madrid.

So, this Endrick issue is certainly only a matter of the coach's perspective on him, which may be considered less than good. So, therefore, I think Endrick is better off just moving from Real Madrid, because I think staying would be very useless, because it seems Xabi is not too interested in playing Endrick. And joining Lyon, I think it would be a pretty good choice for Endrick, because basically there he would definitely get a lot of playing minutes. So with that in mind, I don't think Endrick needs to think twice, so if a team contacts him, I think he should move immediately for the sake of his career.

Yamal should be ready to be sent off in the return leg cause the kid is becoming too loud.

That's understandable. I think Hansi Flick simply said whatever he could to the media without further elaboration. However, Barcelona's defeat wasn't significant, and I believe that in the second leg, when several Barcelona players recover from injury, they will likely be able to avenge their defeat.
El Clasico is always a tense affair, and many players start to get tense, as happened with Yamal. I think that's understandable, especially since Yamal is still so young that he can't control his emotions.

The number of injured players has increased and Pedri has joined them. He received a red card in the El Clasico match and now it is known that he will have to be out of the field for a few more weeks due to his injury. Since the start of the season, about a dozen players in the Barcelona team have suffered injuries at various times and have lost matches with Real Madrid. The return of those experienced players to the team is still considered an urgent matter, otherwise it may be difficult to win the next matches with the new players. When children get more than expected, they become arrogant.

Remaining 5 points behind Barcelona on current standings is not safe yet for Real Madrid still game week 10, many matches left and always have unpredictable result for both team between Madrid or Barcelona will consistent at the top standings position. Its still fewest points left between Real Madrid and Barcelona looking for how many matches left in this season, both teams still have chance face each other at el clasico second half season match and opportunity revenge for Barcelona if won't under Madrid position.

La Liga next games likely Real Madrid and Barcelona will not loss three points depend the opponent team face, Madrid against Valencia currently have poor performance and drop to relegation standings easily get three points. Barcelona will face the 8th team Elche not winning last three matches in a row in La Liga likely not difficult get three points exactly playing at home.

The arrogance of the players will bring the team out of control again, Barcelona's condition is critical, many core players after the international break are injured, many are still waiting for the crisis to increase, Barcelona players are finding it increasingly difficult to win every match.
The El Clasico match is very embarrassing, whether we like it or not, everything has happened, Yamal's ridiculous views have been shown so that they get undesirable results. The next match is a busy period for Barcelona to play more optimally if the core players are still recovering from injuries.

The loss in El Clasico shouldn't be taken too far; it was a natural defeat to accept. I don't think Barcelona is in crisis right now due to the injuries to many of their key players. I see some of the team's reserve players still able to keep up and balance the team's performance.
Barcelona will play as usual, and I think they can win again in their next match. The loss in El Clasico should further motivate them to avoid falling further behind Real Madrid in the title race.

I remembered the previous session when Real Madrid went ahead at the top standings with many different points, but after a week they have many losses on several matches that made Barcelona shift to the 1st position.

As we know real madrid will play sharply if there is supply from midfield.

If we look at the problems faced last season, there were many injured players which made Real Madrid's performance decline and this has been slightly improved by Xabi Alonso and indeed if there are no problems with the players until the end of the season and the team's performance can be maintained to remain stable then there is a big possibility for them to win the La Liga title this season but the journey this season is still very long and I think there are many difficulties that Real Madrid will face, however Barcelona will still put pressure and create fierce competition.

There are still quite a few matches left, and it's not certain Real Madrid can maintain their five-point lead over Barcelona if they experience poor results in the upcoming matches. But at least this time gives Real Madrid the opportunity to continue showing better results so they can maintain their distance from Barcelona, ​​who are below them. The race is still quite competitive, with many matches still to come, and Real Madrid will need consistency to maintain their chances of staying at the top of the standings, as one or two mistakes could impact points. This is where a coach's ability to maintain balance is needed so that they can remain at a consistent level in order to maintain victory in every match.

You are right. Barcelona played well against Real Madrid despite having so many players out. Real Madrid had a special plan to counter Yamal and they succeeded in that plan and won the El Clasico match. Not all of the reserve players that Barcelona currently have will be able to play well but Hansi Flick has no alternative because the injured players may not recover quickly. If some reliable players from there can recover quickly and return to the field then it will be possible for Barca to perform more impressively in the next match.

[Iamgoat]

The game for Real Madrid against Valencia will not be a difficult one, except Xabi Alonso decide to rest his key players against Liverpool for the champions league. I see it as an easy win for real Madrid to have, at least it will definitely retain and maintain the space they have with FC Barcelona. Real Madrid should not afford to lose or draw a game for now because if we look at it, they have both played Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and they are on a safer side to continue the league games to accumulate more and more points.

Real Madrid are in a comfortable position right now especially after surviving the toughest fixtures early in this season fixturing more challenging clubs which could perform. as long as the Real Madrid guys avoid complacency the match Real Madrid will be playing against Valencia should be a straightforward win. Xabi alonso will probably rotate a bit because of Champions league but even with a 360 rotation, I have the believe Real Madrid will still take the lead

[Obari]

True though, if they happen to win nothing at the end of the season, the blame will fall on him but even as a person who doesn't support the club, I think it would be unfair to blame him on this. Injuries to players is a killer and I know how it affect ms teams negatively, I know injury is part of the game but it still doesn't mean it's effect isn't felt on the team. For Barcelona, this season they have had their fair share of injuries and just as I felt for Real Madrid as a club when they were passing through this injury crisis, it's same way I'm feeling for Barcelona.

If one happen to be coping with football, skills and finishing abilities do happens. I wouldn't blame a club that have suffered injuries and happen to fall a little bit from title race, common they're not bots but human beings that work their ass off in training to stay fit for matches, it's never an easy path to follow.

Barcelona and Real Madrid passed through major injury crisis this season and we know how's that ending for both clubs, injuries directly inflicted towards the main players will definitely affect the performance of the team and their good stats will reduced on the main league table. This is one of the toughest and rough test for headcoaches, how they're able to match-up and win games is what makes them a genius and survived this whole period.

[Localhostspeed]

Barcelona team and the coach should come up with a better excuse or they should better go work on their performance and stop trying to play the game with mouth instead of their foot, they should accept their loss their players was complete when PSG defeated them in the champions League and if their injured players come back if they are not careful Real Madrid will add more goals in the return leg. Yamal should be ready to be sent off in the return leg cause the kid is becoming too loud.

With everything that happened in that El clasico, I have not seen Lamine Yamal says anything not on his social account or publicly. This is how you shut someone that talks too much because they think their opinions matters to the public. The El clasico didn't start today and it's not going to end now even if he lives Barcelona, it's a generation banter that has been their for long time but he thought his talks will change anything because they won last season.

We all are going to agree that Real Madrid loss most of their El clasico last season because Vinicious was not in good shape. He literally push every team right in their place in this last match that was played. It seems to me that Barcelona aren't in good form but the hype is making them have the grace of football this season. Even if Raphina is around in that game, I'm very sure they are not going to beat Real Madrid in that match no matter the circumstances.

[Egii Nna]

Yamal should be ready to be sent off in the return leg cause the kid is becoming too loud.

That is just the truth. We all know that they have nothing to say, there is a defect in their performance. If they are not strict with their players, it will just be as if they play with their mouths instead of their legs, as you mentioned. Although we know that their performance is not to be compared with that of Real Madrid, if they focus more on performing better, maybe they will be able to take their team further and perform even better. Most importantly, the management needs to put more eyes on Yamal, as he is starting to go astray, and if care is not taken, that boy will end his career very soon.

[Adbitco]

whatever injury issues Barcelona is having now, the same thing happened to Real Madrid last season, it was even worse that those injuries mainly happened to their defensive lines. It was so bad that Real Madrid had to promote Asensio from the clubs B team. The whole defensive line was affected that made midfielders being deployed to the defence line. Little by little the Real Madrid team is being restored by Alonso, they are not there yet but his making progress with the team.

We are sort of used to it by now. For a while now it has been turns, Barcelona becomes champions, then Real Madrid, then Barcelona, then Real Madrid, then Barcelona. Last time anyone won it two times in a row was 14-15 Barcelona winning it at 15-16 as well, since then it has been just in turns. I think last year was Barcelona so this year being Real Madrid wouldn't be a shocker.

Plus most of the young players at Barcelona are getting used to the game a lot more, and Barcelona will fix most of their financial issues too. They will get rid of Lewandowski and De Jong contracts, which are both 20+ million a year, so that would give them some financial benefit, on top of that a brand new stadium which will print money, so next year makes more sense.

Lol, yeah it's just been mainly them but in 2018 Barcelona won the league that was the same year Zidane resigned after winning the Champions League, Real Madrid hired Julen Lopetegui he wasn't successful and was sacked few months after, Real Madrid struggled that season and Barcelona retained the league in 2019. That summer, Zidane came back and he would the league that season, from then it's been either Real Madrid or Barcelona but again in-between those years, Atletico Madrid won it once.

[Alex077]

Atletico Madrid had a fantastic performance against Betis.They beat Real Betis 2-0 and Atletico Madrid moved their standings into a crucial position.Moreover, we should not continue with the thinking of just the points table because I have also seen that the team at the top of the points table is eliminated before reaching the main stage.However, Atletico Madrid is not a team that accepts defeat easily. Because I have seen before that they performed poorly in the beginning but later secured their position by performing well.Even Atletico Madrid's attack and defense are both strong.So I think Atletico Madrid will continue their excellent performance this season.

Real Betis is facing some hard times recently. They have not been able to win in the last two matches. And of course this match against Atletico Madrid was going to be hard for them. But I have to say looking at this match it did feel like there was only one team in this match. Atletico Madrid was a far better team in this match. By the way, the first goal that was scored I think caught the goalkeeper of Real Betis by surprise. But definitely it was a very good volley from Simeone. Actually, both of the goals that were scored in this match were incredible. The first one, as I said, was a really good volley and the second one was a really good curler from Baena. Betis created a few chances but Oblak was good.
