La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Frankolala]

I wasn't expecting Barcelona to lose against real Sociedad...even with a red card real Sociedad still won, I was expecting Barcelona to score the second goal for the game to end in a draw but unfortunately that didn't happen..this can be very disappointing  in football, when you expect a team to win and they end up losing...I hope they don't blow up the opportunities that they would get later on

It's quite unbelievable that Barcelona couldn't take advantage of the red card and get an equalizer. Football is full of surprises. Real Madrid will be very happy because they are one point behind Barcelona. This gives them more hope of winning the title if Barcelona did not maintain their lead. I had a strange feeling that Barcelona would find it difficult to win Real Sociedad.

It was a dramatic match for Barcelona. They played some of the most impressive football I've seen in recent years, but they left the field defeated. Now they are only one point ahead of Real Madrid, but judging by the football played by both teams, Barcelona will be champions.

Barcelona couldn't get past the goalpost and goalkeeper Remiro yesterday.

Barcelona had three goals, but one was disallowed for a foul, and the other two for offside. These disallowances were justified.

What I found most interesting was Barcelona equalizing in the 70th minute, but then conceding a goal less than a minute later, falling behind 2-1. After that goal, Sociedad became more effective. After Soler's red card, Barcelona continued to press, but couldn't find the net.

Barcelona left a match they dominated without a point.

In the 20th week of La Liga, Barcelona lost 2-1 to Real Sociedad. Real Sociedad almost started the match with a goal, but the position was offside. Even with that position, they showed that they could create danger in this match. Barcelona had many serious missed opportunities in the game. It seems they were destined to lose today, otherwise they didn't play badly. Raphinha's absence is immediately noticeable if he had been in the game, Barcelona wouldn't have lost.

After a long time, Barcelona lost a match. But Barcelona tried their best to win. But luck was not with them.

Sociedad won 2-1. But the interesting thing is that Barcelona dominated the entire match. But Sociedad was lucky that they were able to score two goals. Rashford equalized the match in the 70th minute. But Real Sociedad took a 2-1 lead before Barcelona players could prepare. They got the lead with a goal from Goncalo Guedes in the 71st minute.



Barcelona players had 72% ball possession. They were also able to make 25 shots. Despite dominating the match completely, they lost. Barcelona is now only 1 point ahead of Madrid.

The referee also disallowed two Barcelona goals, so it's entirely possible the referee was to blame for this defeat, which I don't think should have happened because Barcelona played much better. Now Real Madrid is one point behind Barcelona, ​​which certainly doesn't reflect the overall picture of La Liga's title race because Barcelona is in much better shape than Real Madrid, but for now it's still very close.

Definitely we can say it was unlucky for Barcelona as they missed so much great chances that supposed to take them or lead them to a draw. Well this is how it is going to be, we can't expect the team to always win. There are some times that the team needs to underperform due to one or two reasons. There will still be another opportunity for the team to come back to there winning form as this is never the end of the season.

I was surprised that Barcelona lost against Real Sociedad away from home. Both teams scored goals that were disallowed, I am sure that if the goal were not disallowed, Barcelona would’ve won the game. The odds given to Barcelona was increasing before the match, so I doubted if Barcelona would be able to win, but honestly, I didn’t expect them to lose, despite the fact that their odds was increasing, I thought it would be a draw game if Barca did not win.

Barcelona is still at the top of the table with one point ahead of Real Madrid. I believe Real Madrid’s will be happy that Barcelona lost against Real Sociedad to reduce the gap. Barcelona will face a weak opponent in their next game, maybe that will be another chance to increase the points difference with Real Madrid, because we are not sure if Real Madrid can beat Villarreal in their next game.

Yes the referee should be blamed, look at that Lamine goal how is that even an offside, even Fermin own that they cancelled before small foul. I was so disappointed yesterday. Olmo was just wasting important chances yesterday, two clear chances. Barcelona could have won that game by 4 goals. Barcelona need to sign more defense this summer, they can't keep relying on balde and kounde who are not showing any sign of improvements. Especially balde who has speed, but can't utilize it properly. If they keep relying on these two next season Barcelona might not smell any titles.  I liked it as Hansi flick finally called out the referee, this nonsense is getting too much, same thing happened last year on this same stadium and same referee.

This has been the hottest topic since last night. It's crazy to see even player's shoes can put them into the offside. I think there's something wrong with the spanish referee these days. Like perez said that La Liga referee organization needs an overhaul.
I personally truly support Perez's idea. However, it's not only the organization, but all of workers in VAR room need to be replaced too. What do you think about this?

This is not a common occurrence but I am happy with this result because with Barcelona losing this match the competition becomes more interesting now because the gap is only 1 point for now.

It was a very decent match especially in the first 20 minutes with 4 disallowed goals showing that this match had a good rhythm from the start.
For Sociedad, they actually deserved this win but that doesn't mean Barcelona are bad, it's just that they were really unlucky in this match. The Sociedad players did play well, it's just that Barcelona really messed up with 3 disallowed goals and bad luck where opportunities only always hit the bar.
Barcelona still remains at the top even though the gap is getting closer but for Sociedad with the 3 points they got it was enough for them to move away from the uncomfortable zone because it was close to the relegation zone.

[coinlary]

Real Madrid is in bad shape They have good players, but it's as if they don't have them at all, Their egos are bigger than them. I'd honestly get rid of them all and sign new players. I'd bring in Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos for consistency. If Mbappé wants to stay, let him. Otherwise, I think I'd get rid of them all. Honestly, they don't run, they're not agile, I don't know what they want. They're in bad shape, they get tired quickly. I'd keep Valverde as a defensive midfielder, not a defender. I'd do everything I could to bring in Klopp.

I might not have that much of a problem with Ramos as a defender, but then Ronaldo. No offense, but he isn't going to fit into the current system unless they just feel like getting him back to give him one last dance, which means he won't be playing that many games.

They actually don't need to get rid of all of them. In fact, it will be a hard decision for a manager to make because of the squad depth, unless the club just wants to take matters into their own hands by dumping them. Personally, I think they need just a bit of competition with a few signings, including a consistent playmaker.

I agree with that, football has indeed started to look very uninteresting because of this, and here I am thinking and assuming neutrally, not intending to defend Barcelona which was greatly disadvantaged in that match, but there are indeed some dramas in football that make the matches more interesting.

And obviously, this defeat is very damaging for Barcelona, but on the other hand, I don’t think Barcelona is experiencing a decline in performance; they were just unlucky in this match.

Barcelona has been defeated by Real Sociedad with a score of 2-1. I didn't expect Barcelonna to be defeated by Real Sociedad, but if all of Barcelona's goals had been considered valid by the referee, the result would have been different. But now barcelona must accept the reality that they have lost to real Sociedad, and now Flick must improve barcelona's performance so they can perform better. real Sociedad must be happy right now because they have managed to please their fans. But in my opinion, Barcelona actually played well, but because they were unlucky, they lost this match.

However, this defeat will certainly make Barcelona wary because the point difference between them and Real Madrid is getting smaller, as they now only have a 1-point lead. Unfortunately, I lost my bet on this match. Did you also lose your bet on this match? Now, Real Madrid fans must be happy to see Barcelona lose because Barcelona's defeat to real sociedad will certainly make it easier for Real Madrid to overtake Barcelona

I’m very surprised how Barcelona was defeated in this game, they played a very good game and they performed very well so it’s quite unfortunate how they went on to loose this game, the referee seems to be really against Barcelona, because that disallowed goal should’ve stood because I don’t really think that was an offside, well I will assume it’s been a long time since Barcelona lost a game and they’re trying to be careful.

Real Madrid winning during the weekend now makes the point reduced which is quite a good one as well, for more competitive football in the La Liga and that would make the League chasing more interesting, When teams and title race are close chasing it makes the league more interesting and exciting and as well as making the League more Competitive and Healthy. So I think it will be interesting for people who wants an exciting games.

Barcelona left a match they dominated without a point.

This means that great results do not always come from a great game, this always subtly to those who complain that they always want to see beautiful football and good games that then always end in stellar results, it is not always like this, in fact almost never

[Velvet78]

It must be the unluckiest game ever for Barcelona this season. One who watched the game would never say Real Sociedad deserved the win last night... For the ones who didn't watch just look at the stats at least: 1.01 xG against 3.68 xG.

Barcelona could have scored so many goals. Disallowed goals, 5 shots hitting woodwork and more! This unexpected loss of them helped Real Madrid get only 1 point behind them in the standings. But still I won't change my mind about Barcelona to win the league this year.

I think that these signings are certainly a bit useless purchases and i think that they cannot be brought to a good level certainly for the aura factor they are very impressive but let's say that these are not suitable for a high-level context, Ronaldo is only good for one last dance with the national team, despite being very strong

Its drama in La Liga match and always make us interested to watch every games, I think last night the referee many time disallow Barcelona's goals after checking VAR review from offside trap until the fault. Firstly goals disallow from Fermin Lopez after success scoring goals but VAR review get fault made firstly by Dani Olmo before Fermin scoring the goals.

VAR drama always happening every games in La Liga and must acceptable what the referee decision, sometime seems funny when Madrid fans complaint about the referee and Barcelona fans said must accept what the referee decision, but right now all Barcelona fans must acceptable what the decision made by referee last night and almost two goals of Barcelona disallow.

Some great results rather cause there are games that have produced great results from great games the Barcelona game wasn't part of it they were not just lucky that's the only thing I can think of but they gave everything in the game they dominated and possessed more of the ball, they made more attempts and their goals was disallowed, Barcelona has to come back stronger because it's a painful defeat after their performance it goes a long way to tell you that the best teams don't always win in football.

Most experts consider the Spanish league (along with the English one) to be the most difficult to win, because it is very long and tiring, with many quality teams in the league.
Of course, when a club, like Barcelona, ​​participates in several different competitions, players get tired and lose concentration, and sometimes this kind of game and loss of points happens.
It is still too early to talk about who will be the new Spanish champion and we obviously expect a dramatic race between Barcelona and Real.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Most experts consider the Spanish league (along with the English one) to be the most difficult to win, because it is very long and tiring, with many quality teams in the league.

In the end, it's a question of money. Teams in the Spanish and English leagues have the largest budgets overall, with the English league coming out on top, but Real Madrid has the largest budget in Europe as an individual team. Then there's the German Bundesliga, which has a budget similar to Spain's.

[MK-74]

Barcelona tried everything but couldn’t prevent the defeat.
In the match they lost 2–1, they dropped an important three points.
There is now only a one point gap between them and Real Madrid.

This defeat by Barcelona must have whetted Real Madrid’s appetite, because if Barcelona drop points again, they won’t miss this opportunity.

There will still be another opportunity for the team to come back to there winning form as this is never the end of the season.

This is a bad one for Barcelona and it's really obvious that they were very unlucky in this game, with 23 shots made, 9 on target, still they were unable to even make out a draw from the game. In this game again Real Sociedad the stats doesn't show that Barcelona lost the game due to underperformance but I guess they just had to lose this one as the god of soccer may have it. Hope they get back to winning ways in next games because one point above Real Madrid isn't a point at all.
