La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[indah rezqi]

Lewandowski is a good striker and no one can stop him from scoring anytime is in the pitch. This season i think he lost is prime is not like last season but I notice that is already getting older and they need to let him move and get new striker in the club because have already see some messages that he won't renew is contract when he expired and that will definitely make him leave the team and Barcelona will get new players to replace him better, i notice that Barcelona defence is not that strong like before anymore they need to get new defences in the team so that they will be stronger this time, because all the matches Barcelona are playing currently in the league competition and champions league they usually concede goals in the matches and that will make them lose when facing big club in the Champions League let see if Barcelona will get back to there best form because since some of there players get injured they are just strongly to win matches in the competition.

Lewandowski contract will expire in June 2026, and it is very likely that Barcelona management will not renew it. Lewandowski is already 37 years old, in my opinion, is too old to be relied upon in every match. So I am not surprised that his performance is no longer as consistent as in previous seasons. Sometimes Lewandowski can score a hattrick, but at other times he is unable to make a difference, I understand that this is all due to age.

On the other hand, Barcelona defense line does look vulnerable, and it is certainly very concerning when they face other elite teams. Hansi Flick needs to find a solution to address this, and the quickest way is to recruit new players in the upcoming January transfer window. From the beginning of the season until now, Barcelona has only managed to record three clean sheets, and I think Hansi Flick really needs to take his defensive issues seriously.

It was an impressive win for Barcelona, even though celta did kept on trying to outplay Barcelona in the first half they were not able to defeat them, this tells you how formidable they are, I don't think Madrid has what it takes to keep up their position on the board, sooner or later Barcelona is going to take over...it seems they are back to their previous form, Flick must have been working tirelessly.

Barcelona is increasingly narrowing their gap with Real Madrid, who recently failed to secure an additional point, and this gives Barcelona a huge advantage in improving their position. Lewandowski, especially after recovering recently, is playing impressively, his return has really boosted Barcelona's attack and overall confidence, and with Lewandowski back in form, the team looks sharper and this will likely make Barcelona even more of a threat to Real Madrid, who are currently in first place.

To me I see no gap between them at initial as the season is still fresh to talk on gap, 5 points difference is not a gap, it is just a difference, we all know that Barcelona we definitely catch up with that points difference. I know it is not easy as we will definitely see real Madrid going to fight back to keep that lead as been the top in the table. In the other hand we can also see that Barcelona will also fight for it too. We all are also expecting both teams to drop points as the season continues with more games ahead, and we don't know what will definitely happen.

Who still remembers this man, he was once a formal Manchester City coach and even won the EPL with them . Currently his Real Betis coach and his come up with an idea that he thinks can bring and make the game more interesting, Pellegrini has proposed that teams should not be allowed to pass the ball backwards once the team has crossed the midfield, just as they do in basketball. It's just funny to me because, I don't see this ever being considered let alone implementing it. This is football and not basketball were a team will score more than a 100+ goals in just one match and besides they use hands to play with the ball in that sports and not their feet like in football. Seriously, to me it makes no sense.

I don't want to say it but I have to, very soon th gqme of football will not be like we know it to be, imagine this man trying to turn football to something we don't know. If he want that to be implemented as one of the rules in football then he should be ready for a big disappointment or instead stop coaching as a football manager and join the NBA. They should ignore this man and focus more on how to improve VAR that have cost so many errors, if they should allow this then other coaches will start coming up with ideas that doesn't make sense.

Real Madrid seemed to have lost their spirit and confidence after two consecutive matches without scoring a goal. I found Xabi's tactics to be too pragmatic in this match, as if he was asking the players to give Mbappe every chance. Rayo Vallecano players were able to read Madrid game well, they managed to keep Mbappé at bay, resulting in very few chances for Real Madrid. Mbappe only made 1 shot throughout the match and strangely Xabi seemed to not dare to take him off, if the condition continues like this, Real Madrid will have a hard time if Mbappe and Vinicius are absent at the same time.

I already told here that this season the only player who are carrying the team by lonely is Killyan Mbappe. Without him definitely the team is nothing because whenever he didn't made any good contribution their team failed to win those match. Xabi Alonso is new here and still there is a lot of efforts that have remained for him to be put in on his team and players....

Besides that their upcoming schedule is going to be more tougher than this one and if Xabi Alonso didn't make any good stance, then definitely there is a higher possibility for him to lose the point. On the other side Barcelona is also pushing hard to get the top spot at league standings and that's why they won't be hesitate to take ahead from Real Madrid.

You have this situation with most of the great clubs. For Manchester City it is Haaland, for Bayern it is Kane, for Barcelona it is often times Yamal,  and several other teams have their key players.

Nevertheless, I would disagree that Real Madrid would be nothing without Mbappe. They wouldn't be the same of course and he is the player he is exactly because he can't be perfectly replaced, but they have several others who could take over if necessary. It won't be on the same level, but an injury of Mbappe wouldn't mean the end of the season for the whole team.

I think it would have been bad if Mbappe had been injured. Mbappe was top scorer last season and is scoring almost every match this season.
I know Real Madrid has players who could score in his place if he wasn't there.
However, there's also the issue that before Mbappe's arrival, Real Madrid was playing without a striker and still had a good season, so they can do it. Mbappe's absence wouldn't have been a complete disaster for Madrid.

This idea is not what I think will be implemented. This is changing the rules of the game internally and not just officiating rules which changes from time to time. It will be really hard for this to be implemented and players get use to it. Football has been around for century now, and not until now has a big major suggestions being brought about football changing its in-game play from the way it is from inception. If this ever gets implemented, the attacking team who have crossed their half line will be hard to be able to counter a counter attack from their opponent. So this is not a rule I think maybe implemented anytime soon.

Normally Lewandowski is that one player any team across the world will be so delighted to have he's a good finisher so he's absent was indeed a big threat to the Barcelona team so he's return is in no doubt a massive one for the team, so at this point in time I will urge Real Madrid to step up their game if they are to win the Spanish LA Liga title because this time around Barcelona will go edge to edge with any team that comes their way and it's really gonna be a tough one for Real Madrid, so Xabi Alonso and his boys should be more serious in their doings else the league title will still slide them this season again.

Is he now? a striker just any team would want to have… Lewandowski as we have him today depends more on having the ball fed to him than going all the way to get the ball, run with the ball and find the net. Barcelona didn’t thrive so well when Yamal was absent from the squad and has only returned to some glory with the return of Yamal.

It was only expected that Barcelona would beat Celta no matter the odds, especially haven’t seen Real Madrid result in a draw with Rayo. Those where some good points to catch up on and it would have been mistaken should they have lost or shared points.

Well, It is obvious that Lamie Yamal is just having a massive impact on the team sheet but you should also need to understand that Lewandowski is necessary for the team because he is the only striker who has a strong capacity to finish the chance and get the lead for his team. Barcelona has ball possession build up and that why all they made some many chance but if the striker is not there then definitely it would hard for them to put ball into the net.

Moreover, now the gap is also reduce and probably only one match is the displacement to give the chance to Barcelona to take a lead in league standings.

The attack department plays the most effective role to deal with difficult situations, in this case I must say Mbappe is definitely needed. Because he is the main player in the attack department, yes other matches have been conducted without him in the past but Real Madrid has won and lost. But in this current time, Real Madrid may have problems competing with strong teams, because they have held the top position with many points in the point table. This season was a good time for them. But now I think it may be a cause of danger, they may fall into a point deficit in the point table.

[Belarge]

I'm very much concerned with the whole process of watching Rodrygo gaining minutes and balling like he used to. The Brazilian have been on the bench for so long and his absence in games have already started creating doubts on his renewal in contract. On the other hand, I wouldn't feel any sympathy for players that know their level in a club and still decides to stay? Why? For what reason because I'm really curious. It's obvious a manager that doesn't want to use you in games and when it was opening zone for you to move to another club, you adamantly declined the offer and choose to stay in an elite team especially under a manager that have zero plans for you. Rodrygo should wake up from his sleep before it's too late.

Real Madrid will still remember him even if he exited Santiago Bernabéu, he's one of the key players and have earned them 1 to 2 UCL trophies with his late heading goals against elite rivals.

Yes, that was quite a revolutionary comment. I know what he means, he want football more aggressive to attack, and not play boring match when a ball always passing to back. It's the same like what Arsene Wenger propose when he want to revise the offside rule where a point is want football come to is fun to watch when play more offensive. I'm fine with that, but can this rule be applied to other countries such as Italy?, because as we know Serie A dominated a defensive strategy where the ball is always played on defender who always gives long passes to forward. I think this rule will come to problem, and Serie A will come to the league which can break the football rules.

[Tamaperdana]

Yes!!, Lewandowski is back after being injured. This is what fans hope to see him back to the line. Celta Vigo is not willing to give Barca a win easily; they give a fight in front of fans.  But it was a little different in the second half; Barca was intent on attacking because Flick had read Celta Vigo's strategy in the first half. Certainly, what is a very pleasant thing is a machine goal has found his instict, and Lewa will be an attacker which can be main rival to Mbappe tops the scores. His position has the same with Alvarez with 7 goals. and will certainly continue to grow when we look how they created hat-trick last night.

Lewandowski, after returning from injury, has truly returned to his excellent form as a striker for Barcelona. With that in mind, I'm confident Barcelona's performance will improve over time. I think Barcelona is currently just waiting for Raphinha to recover from his injury. If Raphinha does, I'm confident Barcelona's performance will be even better. It's undeniable that Raphinha's injury has had a significant impact on Barcelona's attack. Furthermore, midfielders and defenders, such as Ter Stegen and Gavi, who are currently injured, are expected to recover quickly.

If Barcelona can play with a complete core of players, I'm confident Barcelona will be a tough team to beat, regardless of whether they're in La Liga or the Champions League. Yamal also contributed a goal to Barcelona in the match against Celta, demonstrating the consistent performance Yamal consistently displays in every match. Because it can't be denied that Yamal also played a crucial role in this victory. And Rashford also showed significant progress in this match, as he also contributed two assists. So, with that in mind, Rashford is likely to earn a contract.

The Brazilian have been on the bench for so long and his absence in games have already started creating doubts on his renewal in contract.

Rodrygo should wake up from his sleep before it's too late.

Real Madrid will still remember him even if he exited Santiago Bernabéu, he's one of the key players and have earned them 1 to 2 UCL trophies with his late heading goals against elite rivals.

Rodrygo, who wasn't a priority for Real Madrid's new coach, Xabi Alonso, has somehow chosen to stay, even though he must have realized that his position this season would be very difficult. The position Rodrygo usually fills is now taken by another player who is much more trusted by Xabi Alonso. However, he still has the opportunity to leave for another club that still wants him.

In fact, Chelsea is reportedly ready to accommodate this young player if Rodrygo is willing to be released there. Another rumor is that Real Madrid is also interested in exchanging Rodrygo for Florian Wirtz from Liverpool. I think both Chelsea and Liverpool would be equally good for Rodrygo. However, competition at Chelsea is quite fierce considering the large number of players in the current Chelsea squad.

[Gallar]

I think it would have been bad if Mbappe had been injured. Mbappe was top scorer last season and is scoring almost every match this season.
I know Real Madrid has players who could score in his place if he wasn't there.
However, there's also the issue that before Mbappe's arrival, Real Madrid was playing without a striker and still had a good season, so they can do it. Mbappe's absence wouldn't have been a complete disaster for Madrid.

I think if Mbappe were to get injured and be absent from Real Madrid, I'm sure the team's attack would suffer. Even when Mbappe plays, Real Madrid sometimes struggles to score goals. So, the point is, Real Madrid is still lacking in goal scoring, so you can imagine what would happen if their main striker, Mbappe, couldn't play for some reason. It would certainly worsen Real Madrid's attack. Currently, Real Madrid has no real replacement for Mbappe if he's injured. Endrick hasn't really earned Xabi's trust, as evidenced by the limited playing time Xabi has given Endrick.

Not even minimal, Endrick has only played once this season. Garcia is the same; he's still young and immature enough to replace Mbappe when he's injured. That's why I think Mbappé shouldn't get injured frequently at Real Madrid. If he does, Real Madrid's front line will definitely become even more blunt this season. Even in yesterday's match, Real Madrid couldn't score against Rayo. And that is a clear example of how bad Real Madrid's attack line is.

[bitcoin_mining]

Whenever good and strong clubs perform poorly, it should be understood that the team's past good reputation is being ruined due to player injuries. Here is bad news for the Real Madrid team but good news for the Barcelona team, although the point gap between the Real Madrid team and the Barcelona team in the point table is very large, but due to this bad news, Real Madrid will continue to suffer a point deficit and other teams will continue to improve.
Real Madrid will have to fight hard to perform with the strong teams, and may even lose points at the end of the fight.

Real Madrid topping Barcelona with just three solid points, let's see the forwarding strength and if they can keep fighting till the end. What are you saying man? Despite the fierce competition between both clubs, none of them would wish for their colleagues or rival to face crucial injuries because this is football. Injuries have made both sides becomes vulnerable this season. Thibault Courtois have play an essential role in goal keeping for Real Madrid since arriving at the club, won major trophies with Madrid and becoming one of the leading members for the club.

The end is still very much far so there is a long fight if they want to fight and I will say 3 points difference with where the season is now, is really nothing because they can over take them anytime and remember Barcelona has more goals than real Madrid so if Real Madrid should lose any match now and Barcelona win theirs,  Barcelona will automatically top them with goal difference and real Madrid and Barcelona are not really consistent and even if Barcelona top Real Madrid now I'm pretty sure Real Madrid will still top them back again because it seems they have not settled.

If Barcelona were performing regularly and their performance was like last season, then I would say that this three-point gap with Real Madrid is not very big, but this season Barcelona is not seen to be performing very well, on the contrary, Real Madrid's performance is quite good, in that case, this three-point gap is a lot. We certainly remember the competition in the Italian league last season, last season we saw Napoli win the league title with a difference of just one point. So if Real Madrid can perform like this in La Liga now, they will definitely win the league title with a big difference of points with Barcelona.

The attack department plays the most effective role to deal with difficult situations, in this case I must say Mbappe is definitely needed. Because he is the main player in the attack department, yes other matches have been conducted without him in the past but Real Madrid has won and lost. But in this current time, Real Madrid may have problems competing with strong teams, because they have held the top position with many points in the point table. This season was a good time for them. But now I think it may be a cause of danger, they may fall into a point deficit in the point table.

Mbappe was brought to win the league for Real Madrid and also to win them other major trophies like the champions league therefore if that hasn't been achieved then it's a failed investment. Mbappe was supposed to be the replacement for Ronaldo because since he left the club, they haven't had a striker with that amount of success that Ronaldo brought to real Madrid. Mbappe will be needed in all the important games for Real Madrid and he's ready to lead them because those are the type of games that Mbappe loves to perform at. Unless injuries or other major challenges comes into the picture, I think mbapp will be ready.

It's unfair to rely solely on Mbappé, In football every aspect of the team plays a crucial role in creating an impressive performance, as it's a team effort, not just an individual effort.
Regardless of the results, it's safe to say that Mbappé has been a successful signing, His numerous contributions since his arrival at Real Madrid are proof of this, Despite his lack of trophy success, he's a great player with excellent individual qualities who has significantly contributed to Real Madrid's attack.

Real Madrid will still remember him even if he exited Santiago Bernabéu, he's one of the key players and have earned them 1 to 2 UCL trophies with his late heading goals against elite rivals.

Actually, I am also concerned about Rodrygo's situation because he is actually a good player and it is unfortunate that he is always given little playing time, even though he is a good player when he is on the field for a long time. Yes, in my opinion, Rodrygo now needs to step up and consider moving to another club if he continues to be overlooked at Real Madrid, as he is still young and there are certainly many top clubs that would want him.

Of course, we don't know what will happen with Rodrygo at the end of this season—whether he will move to another club or stay at Real Madrid—because as far as I remember, Rodrygo's contract runs until 2028. However, I hope Rodrygo can play like he used to and be given plenty of playing time by a coach, regardless of who the coach is or which club he plays for. However, we don't know the real reason why Rodrygo is content at Real Madrid, even though he is rarely given playing time.

Signing him was perhaps the most sensible transfer strategy Real Madrid has ever made. Furthermore, they didn't pay Paris Saint-Germain anything for him. This makes their transfer much better. Kylian Mbappé is doing his best for Real Madrid, and the French star deserves every penny he received. Sure, he may not have won any trophies, but there's a good chance he can achieve that this year. Judging by his goalscoring numbers, he's still a very effective striker.

People say all kind of things to bring a different style of play in football, because now I’m trying to understand how football will be played with the leg and you expect the team not to pass backwards, because football is very tactical and coaches would want to implement there style, because right now I have see that teams can’t play more than they are capable of playing now and bringing different style and rules like this will absolutely kill the game, well maybe he can create a different sports to implement that style of play, or he can actually use that as a tactical way of playing with his team, he can actually tell his team not to pass backwards as soon as they enter the opposition box, that can be a different style of play for his team.

They could have patiently waited until Mbappé's contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired, even though they could have brought him in sooner, but they would have had to spend a significant amount of money. Management carefully considered the situation and managed to secure a player like Mbappé without spending any money.

His contribution to the team has also been significant, and he's adapted quickly. Although he hasn't achieved his goal yet, I believe he'll soon achieve what he's always dreamed of.

the el clásico match between real madrid and barcelona determined the difference in points between them. that's why el clásico is so important. if two teams competing for the championship play each other, the winning team doesn't just get 3 points, but indirectly gains 6 points. preventing the other team from winning and gaining a 3-point lead yourself is quite important.

barcelona and real madrid are currently competing against each other in almost every statistic in the league. barcelona is at the top of the league in statistics such as successful passes, ball possession, and shots. real madrid is in second place in all of these statistics.
