La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Cityhunter34]

Well I guess everyone that picked Realmadrid to win lost some funds tonight … Only the goals options seem to work but then over 2.5 for Realmadrid will also lead to same fate, only 1.5 seem to be a good deal or a total goal from both side over 3.5..

As predicted,@70 mins,  Xabi brought in Mbappe, Arda and some key players to change the game but that could have worked if the game was eventually 2-2…
My straight win worked  ..

Well so many persons cash out on big time in tonight game, as some persons predicted on Barcelona to win a straight win and it favoured them. Good game for Barcelona and real Madrid as both teams played very well, but very unfortunate that Real Madrid didn't find a draw in the late hour as Barcelona kept the lead till the 90th minute. I see that they played to their best and we never expected this to happen, but it is over now. Barcelona 3 Real Madrid 2.

Yes, many bettors get it correctly with Barcelona to win Real Madrid because even the odds was in favor of Barcelona to win which did perfectly without any mistake. I don't like betting on straight win but I pretty sure that Barcelona would deliver it successful so they were almong the bet I  played yesterday, but unfortunately I couldn't get it correctly due West Ham 90 minutes draw against QPR that is why I don't like betting on any other option except draw because I do have some luck with draw games. Congratulations to Barcelona it was indeed a big achievement for them.

From the start, I predicted that betting on Barcelona would be very profitable, although Real Madrid were in confident form, their current strength was unable to cope with Barcelona's aggressive play. Xabi brought Mbappé on late, and as usual bringing on Mastantuono was not the solution to sharpen the attack. In terms of quality, Barcelona's attack was completely comfortable with the rhythm they had created. When they had the ball for too long, Madrid had no chance of winning.

Congratulations to Barcelona, because in every aspect all the players played solidly as a unit this is what Barcelona showed, and what Madrid lacked.

[Lida93]

I had no doubt that Barca would win, I even said it yesterday. They started the year by winning a trophy, they'll have more trophies by the end of the season. We can see that Real Madrid can't cope with them. Except for a short part of the season, Real Madrid haven't been able to compete with them at all. The points gap is small right now, but when you look at how the 2 teams play, the difference is much bigger. I also have no doubt that Barca will be champions.

I favoured Real Madrid in this game even when I wasn't really confident with their squad performance juxtaposing them with Barcelona this season in all competitions. At least for the sake of Xabi Alonso I just wanted him to have something to convince the public and Real Madrid fans that he can turn the club towards greater achievements if given the time and patience to do so. However, Barcelona came prepared and weren't ready to leave any stone unturned and it's most likely they would do likewise with the La'liga eventually.

[Velvet78]

What an El Clasico that was man! I loved it more than the last one in the La Liga honestly. 3 goals in the stoppage time of the first half... That was the point that made the game much better. 

I think both teams deserved the trophy. Maybe the attacking momentum was on Barcelona's side mostly but Real Madrid played efficiently and stayed in it anyway.

If Real Madrid didn't waste big opportunities in the last moments maybe they could have won the trophy too.

It was expected from the beginning of the match that Real Madrid will not last long with the tackles of the Barcelona, they actually tried and scored back every goal that was scored but they weren't just fit to finish Barcelona. It's also understandable that Xabi brought Mbape late because he was not too fit, he was just recently released from injury, starting a full match will caused him to go back again to injury. Would he rather start him in that match and go back to injury or allow him play a little time and then be able to play the rest of the season, there are more matches after this El clasico.

That was what you thought but it shocked you that Madrid replied back those goals in the first half. Luck wasn't on Real Madrid side which was why that deflection came in and cost them losing the cup to Barcelona. Barcelona was lucky to have that goal from Raphina that gave them the victory. I didn't see anything special that Barcelona did apart from dominating and controlled the first half.

I was unsure about which team would win between the two teams and did not bet. I was also undecided about the prediction. Barcelona had a great performance in recent times, so their chances of winning were high, but there was uncertainty about Real Madrid's performance. Even though there was uncertainty about them there was also a possibility of winning the match. This uncertainty was among many bettors because although there was no doubt about Barcelona form, Real Madrid had a chance of winning the match as well as losing.

None of the bettors were sure which team would win. If Real Madrid had won this match, I would not have been surprised at all. Because they are a team that sometimes performs great and sometimes performs poorly. I thought Xabi would probably show some surprise but Real Madrid performed very badly.

[Mayor of ogba]

It's true that having a 4-point advantage in La Liga is a big advantage, but they can't relax because despite Real Madrid losing today, they will have an easy game in their next La Liga match, while Barcelona will have a slightly more complicated game in their next La Liga match.

You see the mood the Barcelona is right now, they are going to win whatever opponent they meet in the league this weekend even if their next opponent in the league is going to be Madrid again it won't matter Barcelona will still win them again. They won Madrid in style during the cup final. They ball Madrid like Madrid were one small club with no level. Madrid managed to score two quick goals but if you watch the match it was a complete dominance from Barcelona. So I don't really see that team in La Liga right now that can stop Barcelona. If care is not taken Madrid will use because of this heartbreak and lose or draw their next match.

Barcelona has improved their performance and won all the matches they played after their key players returned back from injury. It's quite possible that with the current performance or form of Barcelona, they are going to win any team they play against as far as Spanish football is concerned. I didn't watch the Super Cup final, but after Barcelona dramatically defeated Real Madrid, it seems Barcelona will keep defeating Real Madrid as far as Barcelona's key players aren't injured, and the only reason why Real Madrid even won Barcelona in the first leg of this season's El Clasico match was because Barcelona played the El Clasico without some of their key players. Real Madrid's next match in La Liga is against Levante at Santiago Bernabeu, and I don't think the defeat Real Madrid conceded against Barcelona in the Super Cup can influence them to drop points against Levante. Xabi Alonso's job is at stake, and if Real Madrid loses or draws their next match, Xabi Alonso may likely be relieved of his duties, so I believe he will beat Levante to keep his job.

[7juju]

Would Xabi Alonso had said this if Real Madrid had won the match yesterday? I understand he lost honourably but with how Madrid prepared for that match, they didn't do it like people that were going to play the final of the least important trophy. Am sure had Madrid won the trophy yesterday they would have counted this season as a success if it eventually turn out that they lost the league title and champions league trophy this season. I know his state was coming out of the place of envy and jealousy. The important trophy that they want to win this season how far is it going for them so far?

Valencia drew 1-1 against Elche and ultimately only earned one point, which must have been very disappointing for some Valencia fans, as they surely wanted to see Valencia earn three points. With Valencia currently in the relegation zone, it is very important for them to earn three points in order to quickly escape relegation. However, in this match, Elche and Valencia were almost evenly matched in terms of strength, but unfortunately, Valencia's players were unable to capitalize on their opportunities effectively.

Last season, we saw Valencia finish in 12th place, but now we don't know where they will finish at the end of the season. However, in my opinion, there is still time for Valencia to escape the relegation zone. What do you think? Will Valencia escape the relegation zone this season or not?

I think it is very difficult for Valencia football team to escape from relegation zone because their performance is very bad and they are present very low on the table and that is due to their bad effort. That team could win only 3 matches and they have very poor quality performance in this season and they have to win next matches to build their confidence. Valencia football team could not win any match out of 5 matches and 2 matches lost by that team and 3 matches were ended with draw result and that team should try to build their confidence which is very low in the players of that team and they could not build pressure by doing goal against Elche football team but that team is not best team of the tournament but they could not win this match at the end.

[Jostern]

The barcelona vs. real Madrid match in the Supercopa de España was very exciting because Barcelona and Real Madrid competed fiercely for the Supercopa de España title. In my opinion, Reall Madrid played well, as did Barcelona. Vinicius performed exceptionally well in this match, skillfully outmaneuvering Barcelona players to capitalize on an opportunity that ultimately resulted in a goal for Real Madrid. Garcia also played well, scoring a goal against Barcelona. Raphinha became the hero for Barcelona in this match because he scored two goals, with his last goal giving Barcelona the lead, and the final score was 3-2 in favor of Barcelona. Real Madrid now has to swallow a bitter pill because they couldn't beat Barcelona, which shows that Barcelona is currently stronger than Real Madrid. Flick has successfully implemented a good strategy by outsmarting Xabi Alonso's tactics. I would like to congratulate Barcelona for winning the Supercopa de España this season, and if Barcelona continues to perform well, they will surely also secure the La Liga title.

The El Classico didn’t live to expectation, I wasn’t impressed with the both team’s performance in this game, it was more like a Pre-Season game considering how much this game was talked about it never really happened for me, I was watching the game and I had to turn of my TV in the second half, well I could say first half was a bit different and manageable, teams don’t just concede goals for fun when you’re playing a big game, well I could assume that it was already a programmed game, also considering that the game was played in the Saudi Arabia, and this place have been know for its programming game, because of wanting this unnecessary audience and recognitions.

However I can’t say congratulations to any of this teams because I wasn’t impressed with there overall performance in the game, it seems like the game lacked quality moments, and it’s obviously an unserious competition or Tournament, I don’t know what to call that Trophy won by Barcelona.

Before the match I was optimistic about Real Madrid's play, unfortunately after the first 20 minutes of play I immediately understood that they would not take home the result.
I was about to place a bet, luckily I stopped and waited to see how they played.
The superiority was evident from the very beginning.

[cande86]

Real Madrid also did not perform poorly but in the end Real Madrid was behind in attack. Although they were quite aggressive in the first half of the game, in the end Real Madrid players could not maintain their performance. When Barcelona player De Jong got a red card for a foul and went out, Real Madrid had a chance to draw the game for some time. But at that time Real Madrid's luck was not in Real Madrid's favor due to which they lost the match and Real Madrid was deprived of winning this cup. However, some failures of Real Madrid team were exposed in this match and these failures must be corrected by them.

Surely Real Madrid cannot afford to be so superficial and certainly cannot lose the lucidity to take such a moment but in my opinion this Real Madrid despite being weaker, is always Real Madrid and will know how to recover the situation, time to time

[Luzin]

But at that time Real Madrid's luck was not in Real Madrid's favor due to which they lost the match and Real Madrid was deprived of winning this cup. However, some failures of Real Madrid team were exposed in this match and these failures must be corrected by them.

The overall match was balanced; they had many chances that should have been converted into goals. Especially when Madrid had a numerical advantage after De Jong left the field, Madrid became more dominant. They attacked and had shots on target, but some were still weak, right at the goalkeeper. So what I think is that they weren’t calm in finishing, they were unlucky, or perhaps I saw Barcelona applying deep defense by placing many players at the back. Congratulations to Barcelona, so far in this match you deserve to be champions. As for Madrid, I’m proud to see the players still respected Barcelona, waiting for the celebration moment before the Madrid players went to the locker room.

Don't mind him, let him keep talking nonsense. If the competition was irrelevant why didn't they just allow Athletico Madrid to beat them. He just wants to use excuse to cover his flaws. What did he expect to happen when he made his players sit back in their defense. Imagine a whole Madrid with quality players sitting back against Barcelona, they are now doing the job of Athletico Madrid. It doesn't makes sense at all. Even the two goals they score was as a result of Kounde idiotic defense and referee not blowing the halftime whistle.  Kudos to Barcelona we won it back to back, it seems we need to start building RAPHINA PR for 2026 balloon d'or. This guy is unique, he turns up the moment you need him the most.

What a tragic News to the Real Madrid fans they actually fought a good fight but it seems Barcelona is the best and Lucky side in that game kudos to Hansi flick and his boys for a trophy well deserved, but to me this trophy is never a priority for the Real Madrid team they should let go of this one and focus more on the Spanish LA Liga title that's exactly what I want them to be thinking about they should just forget about this other trophies because it will distract them from focusing on the league title, Xabi Alonso should just try to close in the gap in point for them, he should better win the Spanish LA Liga title to cover up this loses.

[Byebyebtc]

At this point, Real Madrid needs to find a church that will pray for them, because this Barcelona is like a nightmare that refuses to stop, even when you are fully awake. Barcelona is that big brother that Real Madrid refuses to give its maximum respect. The two teams are not on the same level because Barcelona is definitely more in form and the team work spirit is there, while Madrid is still struggling to put their pieces together, no true playing pattern yet.

Real Madrid has a good squad but some how Barcelona is just better, last night they where complete and active to play, unlike last match where Lewandowski and raphinha was not present, and real Madrid thought they got better because they had that win, but this recent match Barcelona where complete and they had their win against real Madrid.
I know that Rafinha took this match personal, and he really tried his best to score. On the other hand Vinicius did perform well to be honest, he tried for the team but they couldn't still win.

[shinratensei_]

Real Madrid has been so shite especially in their midfield. This is the problem that never gets solved. They recorded another lowest possession since 2010, which clearly showed in what state they're now. A football club can live or die depending on how good or bad their midfield.
I remember how Xabi ask for new proper midfield, but the board said "NO". That's why i think he deserves no blame caused by he already tried to solve the loophole, but management stupidity prevented it.

If they being so serious in signed Zubimendi instead of him let him go to Arsenal. I don't think their midfield is this bad. They were not bad by scored two, but it can be better if they have proper midfield that can preven Pedri and De jong running whole midfield.

The midfield problem needs to be solved ASAP because this Meir performance last night really shows that, with this possession I didn’t even thought Madrid will be able to score against Barcelona but they did shoeing that the attacking line isn’t the problem the midfield is, Madrid could have don this match if their midfield was secured but Barcelona completely dominated the game and eventually won with one goal ahead.

If i remember correctly, since when Toni Kross retired in 2024 that when Madrid’s performance stated declining and they had one of their worst season last season even before Xabi Alonso arrived..I really don’t understand why the board will refuse to sign a new midfielder when that is clearly where their focus should be.

In their golden era, they have Kroos and Modric who always ran the midfield. Meanwhile, they have no someone who can have similar play style like that. There's no doubt they feel difficulty in beating Barcelona. If the board care enough with the club, they have to sign a proper midfielder like Vitinha(impossible0, or Adam Wharton.
I believe it will be solving their mid problem.

[Stavri]

I close the match at 45 minute for rest. I open again for second half and what? 3 goals in extra time. damn man... Great match btw. Real Madrid tactic is only pass to Vinicius. Barcelona vs Vinicius match. Score 2-2 now, crazy game...

Whenever these two teams meet, there is always a number of goals scored between the two teams. Barcelona through Raphinha has been able to score a third goal to now give Barcelona the lead with less than 25 minutes left of normal time to play. Something tells me that there are still goals to see in this game.

Mbappe who did not start for Real Madrid has been introduced into the game to help Real Madrid salvage this game that looks to be going the way of Barcelona at the moment. Real Madrid supporters would have loved if he had started earlier, ther chances of winnig would have been higher knowing how good a goal scorer he is for Real Madrid.

Vinicius, Courtois, and Mbappe... there are no other players at the Real Madrid level besides them. These guys are the only superstars. If they win the game, they win it. otherwise, there is no real football on the pitch. Its hard for Xabi to stay there till the end of the season. He is acting like he’s still the Leverkusen coach not the Real Madrid manager. If Carlo was still here the trophy would belong to Real Madrid tonight.

[Antotena]

Don't mind him, let him keep talking nonsense. If the competition was irrelevant why didn't they just allow Athletico Madrid to beat them. He just wants to use excuse to cover his flaws.

This guy is unique, he turns up the moment you need him the most.

Why is he doing a damaged control comments when he can just go his day without saying anything. If the title isn't that important, why appear for the game, to think he brought back Mpape from the injury to come play. They lack the resources to actually beat Barcelona and it's understandable, the days Barcelona were losing to them nobody says the trophy isn't worth it or it's not important, Mbape need that trophy more than any other player in that club.

If he is worried, I think his next thing to do is to warm up his boys because there is another at least one El clasico to be played this season in Laliga which will mark the second appearance between Madrid and Barcelona. If they lose that one again, then shame on them. I don't see how the are going to really going to come out this place on the league, the more they win the more Barcelona win, the chase isn't stopping anytime soon.
