La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

Mbappé was also a very useful player for Paris Saint-Germain. It's completely false to say that Paris Saint-Germain, which won the Champions League, didn't win the trophy the year before because of Mbappé. Football isn't a sport built on the mistakes of just one player. You play with 11 players, and with 11 players, you win or lose. Paris Saint-Germain lost that tournament with ten players besides Mbappé. Last year, they won beautifully. However, it's not right to blame Paris Saint-Germain. Now, with Real Madrid, we know Mbappé has the potential to win this trophy because he's been a standout player for every team he's played for, always a special player.

yes indeed whoever blames Mbappe doesn't understand much about football sorry but it's like this, this thing has to end you can't blame just one guy, there are 11 players you're right and this is something that everyone should learn and that people should stop saying this thing

It's really good for Barcelona at least their main point man is back and can really help his team in different ways, there are that he will come in handy, when everywhere will locked and they will be looking for that one goal to save the flat, boom the striker does his job. Well for me, Mbappe will still be well ahead of the rest strikers in the league. Currently he has almost twice the number of goals the other strikers has. They can actually try though but I still see Mbappe well up ahead.

Mbappe isn't at his peak, he has great ability and talent, but he doesn't stand out as he should.
If he could just focus more than he has done so far, it could provide a lot of emotion, plus fans would encourage him to do better if they see the commitment.
It's not just about goals, but it's like having a thoroughbred racehorse and instead he plays like a trotting horse, always strong for goodness sake but he has the potential to do much higher numbers.

Mbappe does need more effort to reach his best in the league, and yes at the moment he is still lacking even though he has performed much better than the others, maybe he needs to have more opportunities, and yes let him develop like in general a tree grows slowly and will have leafy leaves until it bears abundant fruit.

But the point is that the team needs very good cooperation, you can't rely on just one person, Mbappe needs a solid team too so that he can reach the best point.

No matter what is proposed, those kind of "big" decisions won't happen, it's just not going to work. We are not going to see this type of thing change that quickly, and for something small to happen is easy, because it's easier to accept. Like VAR was a new thing, didn't existed for so long, only recent in football history but we accepted it so easily, wasn't a small thing neither, we are seeing VAR decide games sometimes, but we like it.

Because it allows everything to be more fair, referees get to see the replay, so they do not have to make a decision on the fly. Those type of decisions are easier to accept, makes sense for most people, and should be properly vetted before we make any changes.

In my opinion, it's fairer this way, referees are people and therefore it's normal that they can make mistakes.
With replay you can really evaluate the situation and see it at the exact moment of the event, technology in this sense is important, it totally changes the vision of the game and you also respect the rules 100% there can be no interpretations in front of a recording.

Real Madrid lead in points is due to their victory in El Clasico, but overall, both teams still have a chance to win the trophy. This kind of competition will continue until the end of the season because almost no team can disturb their dominance in the title race. Villarreal and Atletico will continue to trail them in third and fourth place, but they are only just barely keeping up with the race for the top four.

Real Madrid played very badly in their last match, Mbappe who always scored in the previous match almost did nothing at Rayo Vallecano headquarters. Real Madrid must bounce back quickly if they don't want to lose their position at the top of the table.

Real Madrid's failure to get 3 points in their last match when they were held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano giving advantage for Barcelona to make close behind 3 points remaining for awhile and La Liga tittle race will more interested again. Since defeated at El Clasico match, Barcelona almost remaining 5 points behind Real Madrid but getting draw last games make fewest difference points at current standings position. Based on La Liga adopted head to head if Madrid and Barcelona having the same points, for upcoming match Madrid still lead the top position although loss three points.

Last games, Madrid get difficulty for scoring goal against Rayo Vallecano and impressive performance from Thibaut Courtois helping Madrid secure three points after made several crucial saves. Alonso must change his tactician not matter full controlling the games but get difficult for scoring goals.  

It is definitely risky for Real Madrid to draw the match at this time.Because their opponent, Barcelona, is only 3 points behind.They could overtake Real Madrid at any time and go top.Because Barcelona has secured victory in every match after losing to Real Madrid with great performances.Moreover, with this victory, Barcelona has a full point.But Real Madrid showed a somewhat disappointing performance in the last match.Real Madrid lost points due to a draw in the last match and so the opposition team has come very close to them.So I think that if Real Madrid wants to stay at the top, they must do well in the next matches and earn full points.

Barcelona should extend Lewanowski's contract for another year. Because Barcelona still can't find a suitable replacement for Lewa. Rashford has come to Barcelona for 1 year. He is playing quite well. However, he is not at Lewandowski's level. It would be better for Barcelona to find a suitable replacement for Lewa and then let him go.

I just cannot imagine Barcelona playing without  Lewandowski. It is going to be very terrible, and they had better extend the contract of Lewanowski, if not, they will only make their situation worse. In the case of Rashford, he is doing very well, but at the same time, there is still more for him to do, and Barcelona needs a good player to replace him because Barcelona is not even stable now and they are not balanced at all and it is affecting them in all directions. They are always in and out so you cannot even trust their game.

But Lewandowski is now 37 years old. Since the last season, we can see that he is facing a lot of injuries. And we can see the bad effect of this on Barcelona's performance. Considering this aspect, Barcelona management is probably not interested in extending the contract yet. Let's see what Barcelona management decides in the end. Barcelona still has enough time to make a decision.

And even Lewandowski's age, that dude still has some juice in him, and even with the injuries, I see a lot of effort coming from him despite his age, and they should consider their decision very well because I don't see anyone they can use in the replacement of Lewandowski. They have to consider what it will cost them if they don't renew his contract, and another thing is that if they have another younger player, then they should go ahead.

Mbappe does need more effort to reach his best in the league, and yes at the moment he is still lacking even though he has performed much better than the others, maybe he needs to have more opportunities, and yes let him develop like in general a tree grows slowly and will have leafy leaves until it bears abundant fruit.

But the point is that the team needs very good cooperation, you can't rely on just one person, Mbappe needs a solid team too so that he can reach the best point.

Mbappe is performing well at Real Madrid. He is the top scorer in La Liga now. He has scored 13 goals in  12 matches in La Liga and 5 goals in 4 matches in the Champions league. This is a very good performance compared to the current players. Anyway, Mbappe has more opportunities and potential to do better. He is with a strong squad like Madrid.

I completely agree with  you that it is very risky to rely on only one  player. We can see that Xabi alonso is building his strategy around Mbappe. If Mbappe fails to play well , it becomes very difficult for madrid to win. Madrid  should reduce their dependence on Mbappe.

Mbappe is a super mega player and nobody doubts about it but i always feel like he do more harm than good in the chemistry of a team, he behave way better in the national team for example since you dont have so much team work involved, but in normal teams i feel like his Ego dont contribute to the flow of the ball.

The innovation and adoption of technology for football has and still is changing the game and mostly for good, typical VAR has really helped with decision making nad precision in judgement thereby reducing the flaws of human factors to a very minimal point and I personally encourage it as it is to a very large extent transparent even when it really does not favour me at some point, probably because I would have loved the judgment in favour of my team but still I support the use of these technology to the advantage of better judgment in football.

[verdinio]

Your point is absolutely correct. Indeed, even within a team, there are two things that are clearly not perfect.
The first is a weakness when a losing streak causes the team's performance to decline slightly. The second is when a team is able to win all its matches, thus eliminating the need to spend heavily in the transfer market for new players the following year. Since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé has been a key player for his future career. While at PSG, he aspired to join his childhood dream team, Real Madrid, and that dream finally came true.
Now, his biggest dream is to win a title with Real Madrid. He saw his friends win the Champions League with PSG when he joined Real Madrid, and this has become a motivation for Mbappé to continue his pursuit of the future with his teammates at Real Madrid.
It's important to note that no football team is perfect in any of the leagues governed by FIFA.

I think that behind these teams there is always that aura of mystery. i can't explain how they can always win championships and tournaments. i think there is also help from FIFA and nobody can take this out of my head. i am convinced of this, However, they are certainly excellent teams, no one doubts that.

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown"
If you want to be known as a superstar, you have to accept the scrutiny that comes with being a superstar.
When Barcelona lost a competition, Messi was blamed; when Madrid lost a competition, Ronaldo was blamed. You can't expect the situation to be different with Mbappe. In fact, I believe people don't hold Mbappe to the standard they held Messi and Ronaldo.
Today, Messi is blamed for not winning the Champions League with PSG. Ronaldo is blamed for not winning a title with Al-Nassr yet, but people make excuses for Mbappé and PSG. You can say he was the best player in Paris, but so were these guys.
In fact, even little Yamal was criticised for not winning the Nations League against Portugal, so why should the case be different for Mbappe? People blame Neymar for not winning the UCL with PSG. That's how top players are treated. People expect more from them

This problem is not new for him, he is known as an arrogant player. He has talent and his influence in the team is visible. He is capable of performing well in any team, but the team cannot perform well with his inclusion. We do not see much news about his good chemistry with his teammates. PSG also had this problem, after he left, PSG is entering a golden period. After coming to Real Madrid, the team is a little stronger but not in the best time. I must say that Real Madrid is not in the best time right now, it is very difficult to do anything good with this team, especially in the Champions League.

When it comes to opportunities he will always be the main choice in Real Madrid's attack. To prioritize Mbappé's attacking role, Xabi Alanso even gave Endrick limited playing time. From this alone, we know that Mbappé is a long term project for Real Madrid, and Real Madrid wants Mbappé to become their top scorer.

Yes, Mbappé still has much to improve even though he has actually improved significantly since joining Real Madrid. Mbappe must continue to improve in creating space or assisting teammates. He must become a striker like Benzema capable of scoring goals and providing assists. This is something Mbappé hasn't shown yet. Furthermore winning can't rely on one player; Real Madrid must play as a team to score lots of goals.

Those who are criticizing Mbappe will be shocked at what he will achieve in Real Madrid. He was unlucky to join the team in a bad condition byt all that have changed now. Real Madrid squad is in form what they need is to focused and be consistent with their matches. Currently, I see Mbappe as the world best because Messi and Ronaldo are old.

[hyudien]

I really didn't expect Madrid to be unable to win against Rayo. With the squad they played, they should have been able to get 3 points. Dominating the game and having many chances does not guarantee a win. Because the most important thing is the goals for the team.
Madrid defeated their rival Barcelona, but they failed to win the match against Rayo.

That's how games are; the superior side isn't always guaranteed to win, after all, it's 11 vs. 11.
Even Rayo managed to put up a fight. If Madrid defense isn't well-organized, they could concede. However, it's important to remember that Madrid can't afford a result like this again, as their points gap with Barcelona is now only three points, meaning they're under pressure.

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown..." you said and went on to list the veteran superstars who were also blamed when their team performs poorly, but do you think Kylian Mbappe is unaware of the pressure that comes with being the key player at Real Madrid? Obviously not, the Frenchman knows that he'll be criticized whenever the team underperforms and that's why he's always doing his best to score or create goalscoring chances.
I don't think the case is different with Mbappe either but when a team fails to live up to expectations, it's not always the keys players blame to take, sometimes, other teammates who had the opportunity to help the team secure a better result but couldn't are blamed. I think that's what @cande86 was tryna say.

[Just Say]

Mbappe is a super mega player and nobody doubts about it but i always feel like he do more harm than good in the chemistry of a team, he behave way better in the national team for example since you dont have so much team work involved, but in normal teams i feel like his Ego dont contribute to the flow of the ball.

He is capable of performing well in any team, but the team cannot perform well with his inclusion. We do not see much news about his good chemistry with his teammates. PSG also had this problem, after he left, PSG is entering a golden period. After coming to Real Madrid, the team is a little stronger but not in the best time. I must say that Real Madrid is not in the best time right now, it is very difficult to do anything good with this team, especially in the Champions League.

His influence in this team is definitely visible because the former PSG player has already become the top scorer in La Liga this new season, if we look at the scoring stats of this La Liga, Mbappe has scored a total of 13 goals, even in second place is the Atletico Madrid player, he is a lot behind Los Blancos player Mbappe. So I think it is natural for him to be arrogant but to take a team forward, maybe this player needs to create good chemistry within the whole team. Recently it seems that Xabi Alonso is making all the plans around Mbappe. You Consider that the team is performing well with his inclusion, even they have completely snatched victory from ten matches, including El Clasico and it must be accepted that they are in the best of times, because the top position of the new La Liga event is in their hands.

[Roseline492]

I think it is his natural decision but he was part of PSG and had responsibility with their failed seasons in Champions League. In the last season, he did not do enough proactive defense contributions and witnessed Dembele did it for PSG and won Champions League title as well as Ballon d'Or. Surprising success of Dembele motivated Mbappe to change himself considerably in this season.

This is also what we say when a coach is leading the club excellently but did not win the league but when somebody else is signed as the coach without much of the excellent as the former coach but strategically won the league, everybody will say it was the coach that was causing why there was no trophy, we forget that season can also be the reason why it was easy for the coach to win because there are season we normally say is not strong as the ones that have come before so actually is what you are also saying about Mbappe, the club won the champions League but they never see a flexible champions League when Mbappe was there, if he was there till then he would still won the champions League.

[el kaka22]

While it is true that they got a great win, it's also obvious once again why I dislike De Jong and why I want him gone. They got him for a player like Kevin De Bruyne and hoped it would turn out like that, but we have seen how stupid that dude is and not even close.

The game is already over, there are just few seconds or a minute left, and he managed to get a red card when the yare ahead with two goals, like what is the point of that at all. In the end, they will do better without him, only if they had a good midfield ready, neither gavi nor pedri is around so they are going to of course have osme trouble. The win is great though, they really wanted to get a win, after a few not so great games they really needed a good win and they finally got it.

It's quite unfortunate that Mbappe couldn't win the UEFA Champions League title with Paris Saint Germain I'd say it's quite disappointing after all the amazing moments in that club and it happens to be after he had left they won UEFA Champions League title I was actually hoping maybe with the help of players like Messi Neymar Ramos and some others they might win the title but I was all wrong and they won the trophy when no one was believing in the, even zlantan surfer same faith in that club, but I strongly believe Mbappe win lift that trophy here in Madrid.

I think Mbappe has been very unlucky in the Champions League so far because I know one of the reasons that made him leave PSG and join Real Madrid was to win that trophy, and strangely enough, when he was at Real Madrid, PSG actually managed to win that trophy. I don't think that because of Mbappe, PSG can't win the Champions League, but because PSG did improve drastically last season, and I think if only Mbappe were still with them, PSG would probably be much stronger.

It may be painful, but Mbappe clearly doesn't want to regret the decision he has made, and I think it's only a matter of time until he can win that trophy because Real Madrid is a big team and has a great history in the Champions League.
