La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[X-ray]

This is what i wanted to see. It's the same performance like when Benzema and Joselu was there. All players followed the tactic. They're linking up each other. no more selfish football. They recorded massive win.

This is a wake up call for all players just follow the manager's tactic, and everything will be going so well. The system is just simply will never work with the wingers that were doing dribbles all the time.

We need more Madrid ball like this. An offensive, well planned, and attractive football.

That was a wonderful display from the Real Madrid players. I love how they played today, and I do hope they continue playing like this in their upcoming matches. In football, if selfishness is not involved, then the squad will perform to the best of its ability to deliver. That is why sometimes it is better to use other options, just like the game today. If not for Mbappe’s injury, we wouldn’t have gotten this amazing performance from them today, so I hope Real Madrid do better in order to regain their top spot in the table.

Hopefully, your wish will come true. It's been so long since the last time i saw Madrid played with a striker. This clearly shows they're not relying upon the overlapping strategy often they did when they had Mbappe and Vini together on the pitch. I'd always like to see them showed team performance instead of depending on individual.

At this point i think they have to remove one of their selfishness player to make it work again. Rodrygo as RW, Mbappe as LW, G.Garcia as striker, then Vini to SPL.

[Hanadawa]

Rodrygo will leave maybe because he wants to be playing more, why I think Vinicius may possibly leave as he is already having some issues with Xabi Alonso the coach. If they leave the club, there will be players waiting to fill their place, that is how Real Madrid is, they always have players.

Rodrygo is a good player, but I think he'll struggle to get playing time alongside Alonso. It's the same with Endrick. Yes, a player like Rodrygo could leave Real Madrid, and there will be plenty of offers from big European clubs or wealthy Saudi Arabian clubs. The same goes for Vini Jr. Both can play anywhere. And Real Madrid will always have replacements. Maybe Real Madrid will have to adapt over a few games, but I think Real Madrid is a team that can adapt quickly. It's the same as when Benzema, Kroos, and Modric left Madrid a few seasons ago.
And based on last night's performance, I think Garcia deserves a place in the starting lineup. His hat-trick, with his first and third goals, shows that Garcia deserves more playing time, even though his quality is still below Mbappé.

[Tamaperdana]

Real Madrid needed three points. They won them comfortably, a victory befitting Real Madrid, 5-1.
Gonzalo scored his first goal of the season in this match, then his second, and later his third. He hadn't scored this season and scored two goals in this game.
Rodrygo's passes were also excellent today, he set up several easy goals. In the second half, Real Betis pressed, scored a goal, but couldn't follow it up. The other team followed up.

Yes, in this match, real madrid really played very well, because they were able to create many chances and executed them well. So this is quite good progress for Real Madrid. But my question now is why when Mbappé is not playing, Real Madrid's performance can improve like this. Because when Mbappé is there, Real Madrid in many matches always struggles to score many goals like in this match. But when Mbappé is not playing, Real Madrid's performance really improves again and their attack line is also quite sharp.

So I also don't understand this, because whether it is a coincidence or not, but what is clear is that Real Madrid performed very well in this match. Because Betis is also not a random team, they also have many quite great players, and I also thought that this match would not produce as many goals as this. But Real Madrid really surprised us all with their great performance. So I think Xabi will start using a formation like the one in this match in future matches. Because I think this formation is really very suitable for Real Madrid.

Honestly it has been long since I also see Madrid played with a natural striker and you can feel the imbalance right now as they are not relying on the old overlapping patterns like we used to know them for especially when they have both Mbappe and Vini together but now everything feels more like an individual thing rather than a collective efforts from the players and what most of us have known Madrid for has been based on team work and not solo from players. I also think it is very important Alonso addresses this issues by trying to reduce the selfish play style currently playing out and build a strong team which rewards structure and cooperation instead of the stars being forced to work with each other.

Rodrygo is a good player, but I think he'll struggle to get playing time alongside Alonso. It's the same with Endrick.

And based on last night's performance, I think Garcia deserves a place in the starting lineup. His hat-trick, with his first and third goals, shows that Garcia deserves more playing time, even though his quality is still below Mbappé.

Rodrigo is a indeed a quality player and I'm of no doubt about his capacity though my only problem is under a coach like Alonso, it may be a bit difficult for him to get consistent minutes if he does not fully fit the system the guy is building and the same thing works for Endrick. I don't really think Madrid will panic if both Rodrigo and even Vini ever decides to leave and I know there are big European clubs currently on the lineup to take these guys and even the SPL clubs too will want to give them serious offers but I don't know if Madrid is truly.ready to give them out or whether the players themselves are ready to leave at this time.

[puloweh555]

Real Madrid was really on fire in this match, I expected them to win but I never expected them to win with that numbers of goals, I believe Real Madrid is back to there old form, Barcelona should be very careful so they won't lose the trophy this season, I trust Real Madrid coach and thank God they didn't sack him, Real Madrid president is not a patient man and is very bad, people needs to be patient, I knew what the coach needed was more time, they did very well today and they surprised everyone one good performance from Real Madrid today.

Madrid was at their top tier performance on this particular game, they had all the dominance and possession, it felt like their opponents could not wait for the  game to end already because  their humiliation was growing by the minutes, this is one of those few games that has given Madrid some more goals this season, to their advantage, if the need arises the goals will be something Madrid can capitalise upon.

True. Real Madrid played very well and the win against Betis seemed to show Madrid's true colors. Because the game was more fluid passing options in the final third were open to anyone in a comfortable position not forced to rely on one player. The vibe returned to the post-Ronaldo revival era: collective, free, and fluid play.

Even without Mbappé, Gonzalo Garcia wasn't a major goal-scoring presence. The 21 year-old performed brilliantly in this match, scoring a hat-trick leading Real Madrid to a 5-1 victory over Real Betis. His goals were all excellent and his finishing and positioning were intelligent. He knew his place, and he understood his power.

You need to be a football coach mate with the way you chose the players and their position excluding Vini. Of course, Mbappe used to be a LW before he came to Real Madrid and was converted into a finisher by Ancelotti because Vini is already a LW. However, since Vini is becoming a pain on the ass of Madrid, he should be sold out to SPL because Mbappe will be a good replacement for his position.

Indeed it was a great turnout to Real Madrid in yesterday's match against Real Betis, the match were quite exciting and thier performances were accurately great, the Real Madrid started the match stronger and with full of confidence, thier consistency in the team work actually pave way for them, despite the Real Betis were struggling to also dominate the match yesterday by creating a lots of big chances in order to equalize them by putting more pressures on them. The Real Madrid attacking game were okay I was impressed with the Gonzalo's performance who was the also the source of thier victory against Real Betis yesterday. Real Madrid showcased the quality in them and eventually managed to defeat them and lead by the victory. Weldon played Real Madrid

I won't overstate this, even though I watched the match and admitted that Real Madrid performed quite well. The team's play has even begun to be well-organized across all lines, allowing them to attack more and score more goals. However, this match alone shouldn't be an overstatement. I can only hope that this impressive start to the year can boost the mentality and confidence of the Real Madrid players, leading them to even better and more consistent performances.

By the way, what Gonzalo Garcia did was truly extraordinary, he's a very talented young player.

However, since Vini is becoming a pain on the ass of Madrid, he should be sold out to SPL because Mbappe will be a good replacement for his position.

There are players that can be versatile and I think Mbape is one of them. Even before Real Madrid made CR7 the main striker, he used to play wing before he was converted. Another player in Real Madrid that was converted from wing to striker is Benzema, he used to provide all support for Ronaldo before he became the main man. Even Bellingham has played forward accurately before he was later returned to his main place but I don't think Vinicious can do that else they would have give it a try.

One thing I will like to point out, we should forget this media thing and negotiations that we speculate about players, Vinicious isn't going to leave Real Madrid because there isn't a better place honestly. I'm not even sure if he is going to be love like they love him here judging from the way he is stubborn. He will remain in Real Madrid until he doesn't have anything to offer again for the club but I firmly believe that guy can do a whole lot for the club.

Last night's match wasn't that great guys from Real Madrid without any drama, but that's not a strange thing we can watch from Real Madrid, the function of Mbappe or Vinicius junior is always debated by anyone because of position problems, basically Mabppe is better than Vini it's true because he has a track record that cannot be denied from his statistics and the way he plays, It's just that selling Vini too if it can still be functioned at Real Madrid with the fulfillment of several strategies that can be used then it will be very good, Real Madrid has many options to use these two players in different strategies only flight hours will be a victim for one of them that's just a risk for the player not for the team.

real bets have really gone cold this season, their defense and game play isn't what it used to be, it remember when real Madrid used to have a hard time to defeat them but today's game was really effortless for them. in the second half they tried to pick up but it was already too late and besides their current form is bad so there's no way they would have been able to run a comeback goal

I haven't been following Real Betis matches this season to know how strong they are this season, but I was expecting Real Madrid to have a difficult time against Real Betis since Real Madrid is currently struggling, but I was quite surprised how Real Madrid was able to trash Real Betis 5-1 last night. It seems Real Betis is currently not performing well at the moment.

Yes, it was about time that Real finally beat someone without drama. Mbappe has so far been the anchor holding Real together, while Vini has been in a serious slump for some time. It is obvious that he was very negatively affected by the decision not to be named the best footballer in the world last season, as well as the current conflict with coach Xabi. His future at Real is currently very uncertain, while Mbappe has become the team's main star and has the potential to surpass Ronaldo's records at Real.

Yes, Mbappé didn't play in the match but Gonzalo García didn't let his absence be noticed. He played impressively at the beginning of the year and showed that his contribution to the team will be even more important in the future. He played well in the past matches but didn't score. Although he is a forward, he hasn't scored in 13 matches. The match against Real Betis will be memorable for him because he scored a hat-trick and scored his first goal in 14 matches. Xabi Alonso is giving young players the opportunity to develop their talents and this is an example of that.

Real Madrid dominated the match from the start and they managed to live up to the expectations of the fans by winning this match by a huge margin. Gonzalo goals really impressed me and if he can keep up his performance it will be a wonderful turnaround for the team.

But Barcelona remains consistent at the top Real Madrid is very difficult to catch up if Barcelona continues to be above it even if it wins the match with a small score, this time it is good but will the consistency be done by Real Madrid after this? the difference still remains 4 points and has not decreased it is not a good condition, last year Barcelona won the league and this season as if they intend to defend it again.

I just hope that a wise resolution to the conflicts within the team will be reached soon so that they can play with peace and comfort and their ambitions can be realized, that's all but it seems very difficult if the situation of the players in conflict does not subside.

Honestly since the Club World Cup everyone’s been sleeping on Gonzalo’s performance and what he’s actually capable of. It’s like his potential is just being totally ignored right now. i’m telling you, I haven't seen a striker as complete as Gonzalo in the last years. He’s got everything. If Xabi wants to keep his job and stay in charge, he seriously needs to wake up and start giving Gonzalo more playing time. You can't leave a talent like that on the bench if you want to succeed.

[landheer]

Real Madrid's performance was indeed different from usual because the Real Madrid players worked together very well in that match and Gonzalo scored a hat trick in that match. He took advantage of opportunities very well, which ultimately allowed him to score 3 goals. The spectators who supported Real Madrid looked very happy in that match. Indeed, they should have played like this from the start, and if Real Madrid had maintained this form since the beginning of the season, they might currently be in first place. However, we do not know whether Real Madrid will continue to perform this well in upcoming matches. If Real Madrid continues to play like this, they might eventually overtake Barcelona by the end of the season. The Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid semifinal match is sure to be exciting, and I want to see if Real Madrid will perform well again when they face Atletico Madrid in the Super Copa de España semifinal.

Real Madrid were as much title candidates in this game and the 5-1 result was a replica of their superiority throughout the game. Gonzalo was the most outstanding performer and his hat trick was timely. Having experienced poor scoring in the season, he demonstrated calmness, good mobility, and instinct of a true striker at the goal line. His potential is surprising to lose so fast and in particular after his performance at the Club World Cup. The creativity of Rodrygo was also a contributing factor and he would give good passes which would make it look easy to attack. In the second half, Betis made attempts to go back, but Madrid remained in charge. Based on this performance, Gonzalo should be given regular minutes should he persist with his performance.

[Velvet78]

This was the second time for Gonzalo García to be in the starting lineup in the La Liga this season. And he made a hat-trick!

But honestly it was a really special one. Did you see the goals he scored? All of them were impressive ones. This shows how talented he is and Xabi Alonso can give him chances more comfortably.

I must admit that I never expected such a big win by Real Madrid in this game. But they really needed that one!

Real Betis got a sting from Real Madrid yesterday, and just because they won against Real Betis does not mean that everything is okay, because we have not seen their workings for a long time now, and the next thing they are doing  is winning 5:1 winning real betis and i congratulate them about there winning but i am not impressed at all because so many times they have failed us, and next thing you see them doing is losing games.  And the game was a free one, and it was nicely utilized by Real Madrid because they needed to make up for all the games they had been losing, and now, who do they blame if not Xabi Alonso.

Even without Mbappé, Gonzalo Garcia wasn't a major goal-scoring presence. The 21 year-old performed brilliantly in this match, scoring a hat-trick leading Real Madrid to a 5-1 victory over Real Betis. His goals were all excellent and his finishing and positioning were intelligent. He knew his place, and he understood his power.

Gonzalo Garcia was on fire, and i don't think even Mbappe would be able to do that, and we know that Mbappe has his own day, but yesterday was crazy because Gonzalo Garcia did more than we can actually
imagined yesterday, everyone commended his performance yesterday, and we can tell if they will do everything in their power to continue like this, because I feel Madrid has the resources, so why are they now holding back, and that is their and when they meet a real challenge, that is when we are going to be tell if Madrid is back or not.

[Minor Miner]

Hopefully, your wish will come true. It's been so long since the last time i saw Madrid played with a striker. This clearly shows they're not relying upon the overlapping strategy often they did when they had Mbappe and Vini together on the pitch. I'd always like to see them showed team performance instead of depending on individual.

At this point i think they have to remove one of their selfishness player to make it work again. Rodrygo as RW, Mbappe as LW, G.Garcia as striker, then Vini to SPL.

Mbappe will not move to madrid. because he has a lot of scoring ability. There is no doubt  that vini and rodrygo are very talented. But these two players have not been able to score 20  goals in any season so far. In the 2021 – 22 season, vini managed to score a maximum of  17 goals in 35 matches. On the other hand , mbappe scored 17  goals and 4 assists in  18 matches this season.

Alonso has done his best to improve the relationship between vinicius and mbappe. But we do not see any benefit from it. madrid's attacking performance is still shaky. If madrid wanted to keep one of Mbappe and vini in the squad, I have no doubt they would choose mbappe.
