La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Barikui1]

Sergio Ramos right, the formal Real Madrid captain right? Nope, that's not him, this is Borja Diaz a Guadalajara defender that played against Barcelona 2 days ago in the Copa del Rey. He caught viewers attention in the game because he has a striking resemblance to the formal Real Madrid skipper. He even went as far as getting the exact type of Ramos hair cut back then, for a second fans would think he was actually Sergio Ramos. Seriously, he really looks like him.

This is just crazy actually because when I saw this photo, I was like what has Sergio Ramos done again that has made him got into the news or is he on the move?
It was when I started reading your comments that I realized that it's not Sergio Ramos, but with this picture above, it will be difficult to convince a none football fan that this is not Sergio Ramos, because they are too alike, or is he related to him by blood?
Because who knows, they might be related by blood, because such resemblance is no coincidence to me, their is no smoke without fire man, if a proper findings is done, they can discover something new, like they might be related in one way or the other.

I thought the same as you. I was very surprised when I saw the picture, how could this be possible. But I have seen this happen many times before. But I never imagined that I would see something like this on the field of play. His haircut style and his beard style all together make him look like Sergio Ramos. At that time, everyone thought that maybe it was Sergio Ramos.

It is not possible to say whether there will be a resemblance between Sergio Ramos and him. But if the two of them stood in the same place, then almost everyone would think that they are two twins. As we often see, there are twins, and the two have the same face and structure.

Do you know when Xabi arrived? This is a process where a new coach comes in. They bring new habits and new adaptations. This means they need time to be able to play according to Xabi's characteristics. So currently, they haven?t been able to perform at their best because this is purely Xabi's unique style. Regarding those statistics, he should have seen them and used them as the basis for the next plan and strategy.
 
Even though the current situation isn?t very good, I feel they are showing clear progress. They are developing along the right path. I think gradually they can make the team better. There may be adjustments that Xabi is trying to make to the players that haven't succeeded yet. He also has opportunities in the transfer market. So I think, whoever the coach is, they have the right to decide which players they prefer based on their playing style.

Well you said one thing right, it takes time for players to adapt to Xabi's characteristics, but it is also true that Xabi Alonso must be good at identifying the talent of every single player he has in the team and knowing how to fit it perfectly to achieve exceptional results.
Despite being told to Xabi Real Madrid in La Liga are in second place with 4 points of Barcelona, so why the scaremongering?

This was my first time watching Talavera, and Real Madrid barely won, and they got the OG bonus for one of the winning goals. Some of them are key players, but I think compared to Talavera, they shouldn't have had any trouble. Still, the match looked very worrying, especially in the final minutes.

But here...

They were already leading 0-2, but in the late game, several players had been substituted, and their defense was quite open. Eventually, they conceded a goal, making it 2-3 at the end of the match. It was a win for Real Madrid, but they lost their focus at the last minute.

ig: realmadrid

As I predicted, Real Madrid won against Talavera in the Copa del Rey. Kylian Mbappé was enjoying himself and scored. I think the loss of focus towards the end of the match should be a point of contention for coach Xabi Alonso. Many goals are wasted when the opposing team equalizes in the final minutes. I watched the match, and Thibaut Courtois made a brilliant save at the end. If he wasn't the goalkeeper, the score might have been 3-3, but Thibaut Courtois did a brilliant job. Next up this week, Real Madrid must win against Sevilla in La Liga at the Santiago Bernabéu to keep their title hopes alive.

[AYOBA]

I still wonder why people think that Real Madrid are not doing well or is it because their previous last two defeats? We shouldn't expect Real Madrid to win all their games I don't see them as a team that isn't doing good they second in the League with 4 points to match team on the top Barcelona and the season still has more exciting games to watch.
Am not surprised seeing Mbappe at the top he can never be hidden out in any league he plays, Mbappe is always consistent in his game he wants to win the Laliga tittle and also the UEFA Champions League i believe he will achieve one this season but he likely want the Champions League tittle since he missed it with PSG.
Those fans who are thinking that something is wrong with Real Madrid this could just be their first season or time following up football games.

The reason why a lot of people think that Real Madrid not doing well is because how their performances go’s recently, we all know that all this while they where performing better but since when some of their players began battling with injuries their performances went poor and up to today their performances still not going well. Real Madrid wanted to win the La Liga title and champions league, which I don’t think they can make it happen I only have a little hope for them in the La liga since their still struggling to catch the Barcelona from the top of the table.

But with that they still have long journey to go before get close to Barcelona. Because currently now Barcelona is ahead of them with almost 14 points, and with their current performances that why I said I don’t think they can make it happen.

Yes it is exactly4 like this, it takes time and I am also afraid that the change of coach is not enough, this thing is a tactic that must be worked out over time and it will take a long time before finding someone who finds a square to this team, obviously this does not preclude the exit of Xabi from the scene

Real Madrid is still playing well at the moment when compared to other teams, except for top European teams such as Bayern and Arsenal, who are in top form. The reason why people are sometimes disappointed with Real Madrid is actually not surprising and happens every season. So I think you yourself should get used to comments like that. Because that's how we've been judging football for a long time. Even if a team wins 9 games in a row and then fails in the 10th game, we will definitely see criticism coming. Because most of the critics are us or those who feel frustrated sometimes because our bets failed.

Real Madrid is still playing at a high level. It's just that with the depth of the squad they have now, everyone expects more than this. Although personally, I don't think we should expect more than this at the moment. Besides, Alonso is in his first season with Real Madrid. So, it feels like we're rushing things if we expect Alonso to immediately make Real Madrid a perfect team again.

Real Madrid is not doing well. The standard of a team matters. If a team like Liverpool was performing as Madrid were performing, there would be no issues, but Real Madrid cant perform like that.
They are winning, but how they win also matters. They struggle too much. They get dominated most of the time. You can even see their game yesterday against a 4th division side that did not play a low block. Towards the end of the game, they got dominated despite having their starting 11 on the pitch.

The quality players Madrid has are what have been saving them for a while. They try to score 2 goals a game out of nothing from players like Mbappe, Vinicius and the rest, but they didn't play well.

Let that stat not deceive you because the chances created from Guler also include chances created from Set pieces. Madrid struggles to create chances from the midfield; they usually come from the wing alone, and if a team shuts the wings down, they will struggle to create chances.

Xabi Alonso is a talented young coach, projected for the future by Real Madrid's management. Indeed, Real Madrid's current slump in performance is putting Xabi Alonso's position as Real Madrid coach under increasing pressure.

I don't see this as the adaptation required by Real Madrid's players. The proof is that since Xabi Alonso's arrival, Real Madrid's performance has gradually improved. At the start of the season, we could see improvement. However, in the last few matches, things have reversed, as if something is causing this, and Xabi Alonso needs to address it immediately. In my opinion, we should just support Xabi Alonso while Real Madrid management still gives him time.

[aipercoin]

Seriously, these lower division teams really know how to make life hard for the big teams. I mean, just look at how Barcelona struggled so much to break Guadalajara?s defense before finally scoring. People were already saying, Barcelona can?t even beat a third-tier team comfortably. The thing is, for these smaller clubs, matches against giants like Real Madrid or Barcelona are like finals to them. They know the whole world is watching, and this is their chance to prove themselves and showcase their talents. So they play with everything they have, give their best, and sometimes that?s enough to really frustrate the big teams, no matter how strong they are.

Luckily, that happens, otherwise it would be like the Brazilian championship where only one team always wins, you know how fun it is.
Honestly it makes everything more spicy and then that's the game of football, all it takes is a magical play and a stroke of genius to change a match

What a striking resemblance! For a moment, I truly thought it was Sergio Ramos for real. I was completely puzzled because I know Sergio Ramos plays for CF Monterrey, so seeing him there made no sense at all. I even had to check properly to make sure it wasn’t him without tattoos. Lol. The incredible thing is that Borja Diaz is not related to Sergio Ramos at all. It’s purely coincidence. His facial features, hairstyle, and the way he carries himself on the field are so similar. it’s honestly uncanny. Seeing him made me stop and do a double take because it’s so rare to see someone who looks so much like someone else.

When I first saw this news go viral, I thought it was a hoax or a hoax. I remember Ramos playing for Monterrey. Even if it were true, I still assumed this might be Ramos's younger brother or a close relative. But after a few hours, it turned out he was a completely different person! I was really shocked because, come on, man, they both really look alike. It's like seeing Sergio Ramos's doppelganger. I searched the internet and if you look at the search results, there are some that don't look like Ramos, and people can tell the difference. But still, just with the same hairstyle and really resembling Ramos, I think this guy will be famous in the future. I'm not saying he will be as good as Ramos and then called up to the national team. The fact is, Borja Diaz is already 35 years old. However, he has the opportunity to become famous in ways other than football.

I think the loss of focus towards the end of the match should be a point of contention for coach Xabi Alonso. Many goals are wasted when the opposing team equalizes in the final minutes. I watched the match, and Thibaut Courtois made a brilliant save at the end. If he wasn't the goalkeeper, the score might have been 3-3, but Thibaut Courtois did a brilliant job. Next up this week, Real Madrid must win against Sevilla in La Liga at the Santiago Bernabéu to keep their title hopes alive.

Yes, Real Madrid won this match, but honestly, the final score of 2-3 was a bit disappointing. How can a team as big as Real Madrid, with their expensive players, be unable to score more goals and also unable to maintain their defense so as not to concede goals? Even though in this match, Real Madrid only played against a team that was really not too strong and average. But unfortunately, Real Madrid still conceded two goals and almost ended in a draw.

So, I think Real Madrid really needs to immediately improve their performance so they can be even better. Because if it continues like this, how can they compete with big teams like Barcelona and also other big teams participating in the UCL? Because even against a team like Talavera, they really looked difficult. So with that in mind, I think Real Madrid really needs to be careful when they face Sevilla. Because basically, Sevilla is clearly stronger than Talavera.

Despite being told to Xabi Real Madrid in La Liga are in second place with 4 points of Barcelona, so why the scaremongering?

A four-point gap over a still-strong rival isn't insignificant, so this isn't just a scare for Real Madrid. If Real Madrid fails to match or surpass Barcelona's points tally this season, Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champions again this season, following their success last season. This is what is putting even more pressure on Xabi Alonso to make changes to the Real Madrid team, as the management is desperate for Real Madrid to win La Liga again. And it would be wonderful if Real Madrid could achieve that this season.

Real Madrid really put in a wonderful performance in that game, not until toward the end of the match did they start playing a bit weaker, which gave their opponents an opportunity to make more attacks. In the end, they almost equalized, if not for the goalkeeper, but unfortunately they were not able to do so, which is a good thing.

Furthermore, Real Madrid have to keep their consistent performance in order to maintain their lead by winning against Sevilla in their next game on Saturday, because any dropped points will allow Villarreal to come closer to them on the table, even though I know it will be very hard for them to beat Barcelona in their next game.

First time I saw him play against Barcelona, ​​I thought it was Sergio Ramos, I immediately opened my livescore app to see the line-up, but it turned out it wasn't him, LOL. Perhaps what he did had a positive affirmation philosophy for the outcome of the match, to make it seem as if Barcelona were facing Sergio Ramos. However, Barcelona is still Barcelona,​ strong team that will destroy weak teams, in the end they have to admit Barcelona's greatness.

Xabi Alonso has been in charge of Real Madrid for more than 6 months. It may take more time to get to know the players and learn more about them, but he is doing well so far. At least he is trying hard to motivate them. It would not be fair to blame the coach alone for Real Madrid's poor performance. If the players are not able to do well due to poor form and injury problems, the entire responsibility should not be placed on the coach but the players should be responsible.

If a player is responsible for the amount of money he is paid as remuneration, he will be able to achieve more skills. Many have expressed disappointment at the form that Real Madrid is currently going through but the audience expects more from a big team. They could not win a prestigious trophy last season, so the fans have high expectations from them.

It is said that Real Madrid's recent decline is due to internal issues between Xabi Alonso and the players. Although this is only a rumor, we have seen that Vinicius Junior has been in the spotlight because Xabi Alonso sometimes pulls him off the field too early. Vini Jr. has shown disappointment or something similar, but I think everything has improved now. I am confident that Real Madrid will improve and their performance will rise again. 

Alonso is undoubtedly a talented young coach. He simply needs more opportunities and experience to refine his potential as a more accomplished coach.

Some people are satisfied with this narrow victory but I personally am not or rather not satisfied because with the status and quality of Real Madrid, they should not concede easily, especially when they are already ahead. The club they played against was Talavera and even the name is the first time I've heard it, yeah maybe the reason is because their defense is not the main player so the opposing team easily finds a gap. Once again Madrid can be more than this and that's the way it should be.

[pewboy]

I feel he's not given his best anymore, do you remember Vinicius Jr. before the arrival of Mbappe?.. Man was on Fire even when Benzema was there I think he was Real Madrid’s biggest threat. The focus has been shifted from him I feel that's why his work rate has reduced.

I think that everyone here has had moments where there are more thoughts about the personal path, and he doesn't give a damn about the club but if he wants to be called up to the national team and break the world championship he must also make himself useful on the club he is in now

There is a possibility that this is also related to the issue of discussing his desire for a salary increase. However, the club has not responded to this matter. He has to play professionally; by doing so, he will continue to be respected on and off the field by fans. When he behaves unprofessionally, it is only a matter of time before he is truly hated by the fans.
