La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[barisbilgili]

I watched the Madrid Vs Celta game, and I must admit... Real Madrid played like they are the big boys that don't want to play with the small boys but when that goal came to turn tables around.. reality hit them and now wanted to get an equaliser but it was too late and they ended up committing to go forward leaving their defense exposed and it was a beautiful counter attack that followed through to get Celta Vigo their 2nd goal to seal their 3points win.. besides the red card, maybe champions league football is to blame but they approached this very reserved.

Real Madrid players received a red card because they were angry because their team couldn't develop, and Celta Vigo's players took advantage of this to win at the Santiago Bernabeu.

I'm not surprised by Real Madrid's defeat. They're in a very bad form right now, and this has been evident in their last few matches. We don't know for sure what the problem is with this team, but Xabi Alonso is the one most responsible for it all.

Focusing on the European champions league is good but can this form they're exhibiting now beat the likes of Bayern Munich or Arsenal? I hope they don't loose both of the titles out of mistakes.  They will be hosting Manchester city on Wednesday and they will really need to clean up the Celta Vigo effect on fans with that game.

Real Madrid's focus on the UEFA Champions League is only seen as an excuse for the defeat they received yesterday against Celta Vigo. It can be assumed that this narrative emerged from fans who did not accept the defeat they experienced.
Alonso probably won't say a narrative like that in a press conference after the match is over at the Santiago Bernabeu.

2 red cards and 2 goals at the Santiago Bernabeu are hard to forget.
Apart from being at Madrid's public pride stadium, this defeat also gave Barcelona a gap of 4 points in the standings.
Putting too high hopes on Alonso in his first season with Real Madrid I don't think is very realistic either.

Madrid's excuses are not acceptable after their  defeat against Celta vigo. Madrid lost because of their poor performance and poor defense. The performance of Madrid's defenders was very bad. Madrid is more focused on the Champions league, it is true. But they will also try their best to win the La liga title. Madrid is a team that does  not fight for just one title. Madrid's squad is suitable for winning the treble.

It is difficult to  accept such a defeat for madrid at the Bernabeu. The defense was a bit weak due to injuries. Alonso should have created a defensive strategy. But he did not do so . Madrid's boys attacked a lot, so the defense was vulnerable. And celta vigo took advantage of this opportunity. They got a wonderful 2 - 0 victory.

Real Madrid last dropped points against Celta Vigo in 2020. And the match ended in a 2-2 draw. This is Madrid's first defeat against Celta Vigo in the last 10 years.

Madrid lost at the Bernabeu. And the main reason for their defeat was their poor performance. Madrid's players were able to attack a lot. But they could not score any goals. Madrid lost not because of the red card. Madrid conceded the first goal in the 53rd minute and the referee gave Garcia a red card in the 64th minute. Madrid was 1-0 down before Garcia got the red card. We have seen Madrid's inconsistent performance in several matches. If they perform like this against City, then they have no chance of winning.

[Unsoldier]

It seems like something has happened to Real Madrid. Their 0-2 home loss to Celta is inexplicable. Is there a problem between the manager and the players? The players aren't truly reflecting the Real Madrid spirit on the pitch. Real Madrid is no longer a team to be feared. Their poor results, especially in the last few weeks, seem to have dampened the team's morale. Their opponents are capitalizing on this and managing to beat Real Madrid. Liverpool did this in the Champions League, and Celta did it yesterday in the league. Furthermore, the two red cards they received show how far they've fallen. This is where professionalism really shines. You might have lost some matches, but it's time to put that result behind you and focus on the next.

I honestly can’t remember such a disastrous night for Real. A loss to Celta, three red cards, plus Militao’s injury — the team just burned out completely. People have been talking for weeks about tension between Alonso and some of the players, and after this match the discipline issues look even more obvious. But I’m not convinced the manager is the problem. But for me, this looks like one of those rare situations where it’s easier to move on from a few players than to sack the coach.

[Solokan]

Real Madrid's forwards couldn't score today. There were numerous attempts in the first half, but their finishing wasn't good.
Mbappé's face showed he wasn't very happy today. Real Madrid was losing 1-0, but then they were down a man, and Garcia was sent off with a red card. An already poor game reached a dead end for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid finished the match with nine men. Barcelona won the week, beating Real Betis.

In this match, it was clear that Real Madrid's performance had really declined. Even though Real Madrid launched many attacks, the players were unable to capitalize on opportunities when the ball was close to the goalpost. If Real Madrid had been able to take advantage of those opportunities, they would have had the potential to score many goals. Apparently, Celta knew how to withstand Real Madrid's attacks, which is why Real Madrid looked very troubled and ultimately failed to score against Celta. Mbappe did not look very cheerful in today's match because he was undoubtedly very sad about Real Madrid's situation, which made it very difficult for them to score in this match.

I didn't expect two Real Madrid players to receive red cards, but this incident clearly shows that Real Madrid tried hard to win but couldn't match Celta's strength. In the next match, Real Madrid will face Alaves. Who do you think will win?

Real Madrid players are not performing well anymore and the team is having a lot of problems which they need to settle quickly if not it will really affect the team this season, vinicius Junior is not performing very well and I think he's doing it on purpose maybe because he does not like Xabi Alonso, vinicius Junior should know that this thing he's doing we affect his career because if Real Madrid decide to start benching him because of his poor performance I don't think good teams or big clubs will like to sign him to there team, I know Xabi Alonso started attacking vinicius junior at first however I think he has corrected himself by always featuring him in matches full time so I think vini junior should forget about the past and work with the team so they can achieve great things together.
I think this should be a warning and a lesson to the coach because he was only focused on kylian mbappe knowing fully well that the good performance of a club is not placed on one player but the whole team.

If their defense was poor which resulted in them losing 0-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu, I would justify it because Rudiger came on to replace the injured Militao and Carreras who was not optimal in that position.
Alonso actually playing Rodrygo instead of Raul Asencio is wrong for me.

Putting the focus on the Champions League with conditions like this, how can they face a more solid team while facing a team like Celta Vigo.
It's hard to imagine facing teams like PSG, Bayern and several other teams including Arsenal.

I highly doubt Real will get rid of several of their players, it's always been easier for them to change coaches. Endric received a red card off the field, but you're right, it's three red cards. It was more likely that Real expected to win at home, they hadn't played in front of their fans in a long time, but Celta came into this game with a fighting spirit and played very well. Then Militao's injury also affected their defense, and Real strengthened their defense at the beginning of the season, but they still have a lot of injured defenders, and Celta's defense played excellently.

In the match between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo, there are many lessons that can be learned, especially Real Madrid who made many mistakes so that the team could lose, with Militao's injury also greatly affecting Real Madrid's defense, in that match Celta Vigo played very well so that they could take advantage of opportunities and managed to score two goals, and Real Madrid also had many attacks but none resulted in goals, and with this defeat Real Madrid is getting further away in points with Barcelona who is in the top ranking, and I am sure that currently Real Madrid is having internal problems between players and coaches so that it has a bad impact on their performance during the match.

The red card made things worse for the Real Madrid team because when they were complete they could not create any good chance to score goal they conceded goal instead of looking for a way to get back into the game they become very aggressive which led to the first and second red card. Celta Vigo understood the assignment very well which made them win the game when Real Madrid players was struggling to defeat their defense.

Real Madrid deserves the loss they got cause they were too relaxed before the way team scored the first goal the manager should take responsibility because he can't reduce the team to losing their dominance in the league and expect the fans to be happy I think he should focus on restoring the team performance more than having issues with the players.

[Hanadawa]

After Real Madrid bounced back to winning ways against Athletic Bilbao, I was expecting Real Madrid to win against Celta Vigo at away and close the point gap between them and Barcelona to one point. Real Madrid failing to beat Celta Vigo is an embarrassment to the entire Real Madrid football team, and the defeat has made Barcelona top the La Liga table by four points, which will be difficult for Real Madrid to get back at the top of the table. Are you suggesting Real Madrid should hire another coach?

Real Madrid's defeat really surprised me. I mean, Real Madrid was on a positive run after their big win against Athletic Bilbao. I thought Celta Vigo would be an easy opponent, and they could keep the gap to just one point over Barcelona. After the win over Real Betis, Barcelona now has a four-point lead over Real Madrid, and in La Liga, that's a tough number to beat, as only a few teams have the potential to beat Barcelona. I'm sure Barcelona will experience unlucky situations in the future, but a four-point lead can still ease the pressure on Barcelona.
And as for Xabi Alonso, I don't think it's ethical to fire him after just half a season. I think we need to give Alonso a few seasons, because it's impossible to judge a coach's performance based on just one season.

[hyudien]

Oh my gosh, even taking an easy bet with BTTS (yes) still lost. I wouldn't be disappointed if my bet failed because Celta didn't score, but why did it have to be Madrid, a team that rarely sees them fail to score? It's strange... I want to blame Xabi for his team's defeat today.
Now Barcelona is given the freedom to be at the top of the standings with a 4-point lead.

It's hard to imagine facing teams like PSG, Bayern and several other teams including Arsenal.

Rodrygo came on in the second half for Raúl Asencio, meaning the Real Madrid manager had used Raúl Asencio from the first half until he came off in the 54th minute and was replaced by Rodrygo. Militao was also taken off at halftime due to pain and replaced by Rudiger, but that didn't make any difference for Real Madrid in that match. And just before the second goal was scored against Real Madrid, Carreras also had to leave the pitch early due to a red card, so the match was a complete disaster that Real Madrid couldn't control and I also started to doubt Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League against opponents who were much stronger than Celta Vigo.

Not only is Madrid's form dropping but they seem to be lacking strong chemistry amongst themselves, there seem to be some silent rift thatbis amongst them and probably affecting their performance an that us why the build up was not working to get them in as much advantage as a home side, the red card even added to the whole situation to making things a bit more tight for them than they may have possibly expected as their psychology may have been messed with resulting from the red card.

[pewboy]

I am sure Mbappe's position will shift immediately by Ferran Torres; there are only 5 different goals on top score.

Mbappe has finally found his dimension, his balance and we can say that he is well, he is well and it shows.
When a player has everything working in his life and in his game, he gets along very well with everything and certainly gives his best and best compared to someone who has problems.

It's unbelievable, there's no way to predict Celta Vigo would win in this match, so it's not a bad thing if bettors lose their bet.

Real Madrid is still in good position, despite they lost against weak team in their home, but the point gap between Barcelona is small, only 4 points.  As long as Real Madrid not drop below 4th rank, it's too early to fire the coach.

The second goal by Celta Vigo was really cold, he didn't have to shot, he dribble in front the top 1 goalkeeper. 🥶

Real Madrid are very awful to it was an absolute nightmare and a disappointing performance from this Real Madrid team, I could never have imagined they will loose this game in this manner, The performance was absolutely poor, I couldn’t imagine what to say or what could’ve happened in this game, Well I must say kudos to Celta Vigo they played a very good game, and it was a good performance from them to have beaten Real Madrid at home, Xavi Alonso seems to be loosing hold of his players in the team, Vini Jnr haven’t been performing well and I really don’t Understand what Rodrygo is doing in that team, because he isn’t helping the team at all, if the performance continues this way, Barcelona will be running away with the La-Liga title.

It's truly a nightmare. Celta Vigo's attack isn't as threatening as the attacks of the top clubs Real Madrid have faced, but they were unable to secure it. Aside from the long-term injury, they aren't short of top players, but their performance is declining, and yeha, Xabi is one who is responsible for this. Look at the number of shots they concede; they missed so many. Unlike Celta Vigo, they optimized those shots very well. Real Madrid's defense made numerous errors and had very few clearances.

Who knows what will happen to Real Madrid in the next match. They will also be playing without their most defenders and other top players due to the injuries and red cards.

This is either level 1 quadrillion sarcasm, or I've drunk a beer too many!

Neither of the two... Good observation Btw!
My analysis was based on a few UCl matches and their last match against Athletic club.. I never knew they were supposed to play yesterday against Celta Vigo. I'm not a madrid fan but,.... Ehh boy, a team isn't supposed to take them flowers all the time right?Anyway, Williot was pretty slick with that final minute goal. Would have been more disgraceful if it were a hat trick against Courtois, right after the second red card of the game.
On the field of play, some attitudes are very much avoidable, but Carreras saw nothing wrong with cursing and getting kicked for that. IMO, just like I've always said, Xabi may not have what it takes to manage those players, even as an ex-player of the team.
