La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Yorubek]

Honestly, this was a very disappointing performance, yes, very disappointing. Even with Liverpool's poor performance, Real Madrid couldn't beat them; instead, they were beaten again. Just imagine, Mbappé, Vini Jr., and several other attackers had absolutely no chance to attack or shoot. This was truly terrible.

Meanwhile, Liverpool dominated their attack. 15 shots, 10 of which were on target. Imagine how difficult it was for Curtis to defend his goal. Of those 10 shots on target, he managed 9 saves. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain, as his team couldn't score a single goal.

Source: Thibaut Courtois put in a sensational goalkeeping performance

It was a bitter pill for Real Madrid to swallow, but I still hope it will be as beneficial as the game against Atlético. It's disappointing to lose to Liverpool (they're a very weak team, haha) for the second game in a row, but it's still the group stage, and the game doesn't matter much.
Real Madrid's defensive problems are a big concern, Courtois won't always be such a lifesaver, I hope Xabi continues to improve Real Madrid's game in this area.

This loss is really shame but if Real Madrid learns from this and performs well in the upcoming matches then it is definitely a good direction. But I hope that coach Xabi Alonso will solve the problems of this match very intelligently and will also take care that this problem does not happen again in the future and will try his best so that the players can play better in the upcoming matches. But I am hopeful that Real Madrid players will perform better in the upcoming matches.

Now El Clasico must be forgotten, Real Madrid and Barcelona must immediately focus on the next matches and for this week Real Madrid and Barcelona I think are not facing tough opponents so a big win is needed for both teams to get.

That's right, now Madrid is winning and winning, Barcelona must maintain their level. Regarding the Clásico, they still have to go to the Camp Nou. If Madrid wants to redeem themselves, they must beat them there; it's the only way, Madrid must win La Liga and the Champions League this season nothing less is expected of the club Now they have a good system, a good coach, and good players, so there are no excuses.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Barcelona is still very strong and anyone who says they won't do well in the next matches doesn't understand anything about football should reconsider their thoughts about this club which is going through a bad period, certainly, but they are there and want to do very well.

We don't have to blame anyone who sees these guys as another side that will struggle in their next game and is not about understanding football but seeing it how it is because these days big teams fail to win smaller teams like we expect them to and is normal because no one saw them losing the way they did against Real Madrid, it came as a big surprise and if they lose in their next game I also see it as one of those things.
One thing is certain that they'll bounce back not in this slow start but in a way that if they come against any team like the ones that gave them a hard tike I see them dominating like they always do, their champions league game tonight will be an example of a team that doesn't back down in a fight, they'll get a comfortable win in the champions league and in the league too.

Yes, in this match, Real Madrid's performance was really not good, because basically, the sharpness that Real Madrid had in this match seemed to disappear just like that. Even though in this match, Real Madrid initially looked very confident that they could win, but in reality, they couldn't do much in this match and ended up losing to Liverpool. So I also actually didn't expect this to happen, considering Real Madrid's performance was really excellent. But maybe because this match was held at Liverpool's headquarters, I think the Real Madrid players might have been a little distracted by the roar of the Liverpool fans.

So maybe that's why Real Madrid lost this match, in essence, they lost focus and ruined all the plans they had designed during training. But even so, I don't think Real Madrid need to be sad about this, because they are basically still in a safe zone at this time. Because basically, they only got one defeat in the UCL. Apart from that, in the 5th match, Real Madrid will face a team that is not too strong, namely Olympiakos, so it is certain that in that match Real Madrid will be able to get 3 full points again.

They had quite a few problems, but the inconsistent performances of Real Madrid don't scare me, we all knew they would have a bit of an inconsistent phase and these guys weren't at their best but they found a rock-solid Liverpool who are trying to recover and in fact they lost

[HajiBagi]

Real Madrid are going through a bad period and are trying to get back on their feet.
I understand that everyone says and expects them to do an exceptional job, but it can't always be that way.
Is definitely not the Real Madrid of the past that can do whatever it wants and this is becoming more and more noticeable.

11 La Liga matches with only one loss.
4 UCL matches with only one loss.
Can this be considered a difficult period for them?
Yes, they lost to Liverpool and didn't play like champions in that match, but I think that was Xabi fault for not being tactically sound. And there are times when even big clubs struggle in matches. What matters most is the final result, where they are at that point in the competition.

Real Madrid is not ready for Champions League this season after seeing their performance against Liverpool, I do expect the match to be tough because Liverpool is not afraid of small teams, Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world, some people expect Real Madrid to win the match because Liverpool performance is not good this season after being defeated by some teams, I know that Liverpool will never allow Real Madrid to defeat them because if that happens, Arne slot job might be at risk.

Xabi Alonso should be blame for the defeat because he is the coach and is responsible for improving the team's performance, but I believe some Real Madrid players are not ready to be starting players. Alonso must bench players who are not performing well or he will be fired by the team. The game against Liverpool shows that Real Madrid lacks creativity, and Arda Guler is not ready to become a player  Real Madrid can rely on.

But I hope that coach Xabi Alonso will solve the problems of this match very intelligently and will also take care that this problem does not happen again in the future and will try his best so that the players can play better in the upcoming matches. But I am hopeful that Real Madrid players will perform better in the upcoming matches.

The competition is still long, and Real Madrid certainly has time to make improvements especially to their defense which is currently considered very fragile. Real Madrid's defense is very easy to penetrate, and they are fortunate to have a goalkeeper like Courtois, who often makes crucial saves.

However with a weak defense he certainly can't make brilliant saves every game, and this was evident against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. Even though Liverpool were in a slump, they managed to beat Real Madrid, proving that Real Madrid's defense really needs special attention from Xabi Alanso. Now Real Madrid must put the defeat to Liverpool behind them and refocus on the next match against Rayo, and I think Real Madrid will vent their frustration in this match.

Real Madrid at UCL showed their weakness. I am not expecting them to stay at the top for long, not many teams in la liga could play the way Liverpool played, but it's clear that when you pressure them, that press element makes their defense not be that great and they fail to playmake.

When you can do that against them, instead of just park the bus, then you are going to get some good points and now everyone around the world knows this. Press, and I mean like gegenpress type of high level, is hard because it requires high stamina but is the answer towards Real Madrid. Now that everyone knows this then I think it is not going to be easy for Real Madrid, while I am sure they will beat much worse teams, some decent teams may have a chance.

Real Madrid became vulnerable at Anfield, you think it's a coincidence? I don't think so because Liverpool was cooking something for their visitors. Arne Slot passed another test and this time, he will be leaning on a big win in the English Premier League this weekend. I don't understand this man's pattern, he can be a good one but also not been able to dive into winning when needed. On the records, Liverpool have been a very unstable team lately, knowing what they're doing, losses are inevitable in football. It'd nothing new but something to be expecting in the league.

That game looked like Liverpool study the easiest way to defeat Real Madrid but Madrid came with some aggressive energy, I don't know if that's from El clasico anger or they just want to display some level of masculinity and dominate the game, I can't just explain it but Real Madrid came to hard. It's not all games you want to show off, sometimes just do your game and go home with 3 points unfortunately they loss to Liverpool.

The timeline yesterday was mocking them for looking for penalties, Vinicious was tried but he was too vulnerable, trying to be the force victim and referee didn't give him the attention he needed. I hope this small failure to win some games doesn't spread to Laliga with them otherwise the celebration people has done for them is going to be a dead end, I don't like Real Madrid either but I boo Barcelona the day they loss to El clasico and that was because of what Yamal did before that game.

Is definitely not the Real Madrid of the past that can do whatever it wants and this is becoming more and more noticeable.

But same Real Madrid is doing well in the league this season they have faced three difficult opponents and they only managed to win one and lost against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool which was yesterday. Xabi Alonso have to do a something to correct all the defensive errors in the team they can not be losing against a team that is weak this season Liverpool totally out performed them it was disappointing to see them lose they were lucky their keeper made those incredible saves they should have lost by 4:0.

[FiliOrangGila]

Now El Clasico must be forgotten, Real Madrid and Barcelona must immediately focus on the next matches and for this week Real Madrid and Barcelona I think are not facing tough opponents so a big win is needed for both teams to get.

Unfortunately, despite being on fire with high player confidence after winning the El Clasico match against Barcelona and then convincingly winning 4-0 against Valencia, Real Madrid was unable to maintain this good performance and results. In the Champions League match away to Liverpool's Anfield, Real Madrid lost, and although it was a narrow 1-0 defeat, it was still a loss.

[Renampun]

Real Madrid tried in being very possessive at Anfield but it wasn't enough cause they couldn't create much chances, if you notice Liverpool created more chances than Madrid that why they were more opportuned to score a goal. To be honest i expected more from Real Madrid cause of their presence form all round but I was disappointed at how they allowed Liverpool to win yesterday, that's not how a team that wants to reclaim the Champions league title plays and they should learn from yesterday's errors so it won't repeat in their next Champions league fixture.

If I can say, Courtois was Real Madrid's savior in yesterday's match, because of how he performed well by making eight saves, and that managed to suppress Liverpool from scoring more goals, if without Courtois's save then maybe the score could have been more than 1-0, but he was able to ward off Liverpool's attacks so well and that saved Real Madrid's face. because Real Madrid's game yesterday was very boring, they were unable to show their attack and seemed to have difficulty creating opportunities. and this defeat should be a lesson for Real Madrid because they are strong candidates for the champions league this season and with a game like this it will be difficult for them to compete with other teams.

But that doesn't make Madrid look bad now because I would take it as a given that Liverpool are also a big club and Madrid didn't necessarily turn into a bad club after this situation happened considering they only lost 2 times this season where they lost in domestic competitions 1 time and in the Champions League 1 time there is nothing unusual about that.

I think the previous defeats were exaggerated but they didn't affect the domestic games for me. They may have lost the momentum to continue to get points in all competitions but even though they are a big club defeats and wins can still very much happen when they play on the field especially with a fairly busy schedule and worthy opponents.

If someone talk about Madrid's performance in the Champions League what would they say about Barcelona that's currently losing to Club Brugge, honestly I'm very disappointed at the both Spanish gaints theor performance in the Champions League this week is nothing to write about and they have to correct this week's error if they're serious about that tournament.

 Anyways I won't use their Champions league performance to judge them in the domestic league cause they're the best over there, even Real Madrid is currently toping the league and I don't feel they'll lose to Liverpool during the midweek and still lose in their next Laliga fixture, although it's possible but I just believe they won't.

We can all see that their game for that yesterday was too bad, I was not expecting them to play like they do, but it is what is supposed to be, they lost again to Liverpool. Courtois as been a goalie that has been saving real Madrid for several times now and they are not taking the advantage to press more in front. One thing I was shocked that yesterday game, was the amount of errors the back line where constantly making, the only back line that made it through was Carreras, we can see his performance is continuously growing every game that comes. Liverpool played better and they deserve the win.

One can be python in one league and be under dog in another league. Over the years, stats has shown that you don't win the league by staying at the top of the table. Even ordinary teams can make a bigger team disqualified from the race. We saw that with Barcelona, even Real Madrid was dealt with by Arsenal last season, the two teams were the top on their domestic table but couldn't even reach the semi final. It was PSG and Inter that didn't had the attention made it to the final.

It's possible for Real Madrid to keep the gap and not lose their eye sight on this trophy. I'm not confident in them to win the Champions League but you see this Laliga, any loss from Barcelona again is an automatic qualifying Real Madrid unless they also want to start fooling and don't want to work well again which I doubt. Xabi is going to be mad, he will be the most happiest man if he is able to win Laliga for himself as an achievement, the bullies must be stopped and shame.

At this point I think the Premier league teams are the best in the UCL because how else can you explain the fact tha they are all dominating other big teams from different leagues...Even with all the aggressive energy Madrid put into the game they were still countered by Liverpool and also ended up losing...Liverpool played with tactics in terms of their attacks and Madrid only had defense as their game play.

In the Champions League match away to Liverpool's Anfield, Real Madrid lost, and although it was a narrow 1-0 defeat, it was still a loss.

Let us not forget that Liverpool has got a very strong fight back spirit, one that Real Madrid truly do not have.  Madrid mostly just capitalise on advantages whenever they are in position to having one, and so we cannot just say that they are supposed to win a dogged team like Liverpool especially in the champions league.  Their la liga games may be going smoothly but I do not see it as enough to give them the kind of confidence over Liverpool and win them even at their home so it was more like an expected defeat.

To be very honest, at first, you might also kind of predicted that real Madrid might have the chance to become victorious of the game thy played against Liverpool, just for the fact that it didn't came as expected doesn't mean that, they can't out play the attacking tactics of Liverpool. Before the game so many persons predicted that real Madrid will definitely win the game and that is just the basic truth. If we look at statistics, real Madrid where far more better than Liverpool. But we can see in the later end that it didn't favor them and that is just how the champions league is.

The basis of this prediction was the poor form of Liverpool. But most people added a caveat to that prediction, which was "Liverpool is also a good team, they can come back at any time". If you forget Liverpool's past too quickly and talk about Real Madrid with certainty, you might be wrong, because Liverpool was great last season too. They still have a good team, a team with which they are capable of coming back. But this season they lack consistency. Those who understand the game must have predicted Real Madrid to win, but in their words there was also an expectation of Liverpool's comeback, which you ignored.
