La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Mabebe]

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.

This is another clear evidence that you can play so good and well in the entire match and still lose when you fail to convert the chances that you create. As shown here that Real sociedad has only four shots on target and scored two goals and Barcelona has nine and scored only one goal. Number of passes, and ball possession all are nothing if you don't win at the end of the match.

Yesterday, Atlético Madrid competed fiercely against Alavés, with Atlético Madrid ultimately winning 1-0. Alavés played very well defensively because even though Atlético Madrid attacked a lot, Alavés was always able to deal with it. Now Alavés has lost 3 points due to that defeat. Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid has gained three points from Alavés and currently sits in fourth place in the standings. It seems likely that Atlético Madrid aims to overtake Villarreal's position, and in my opinion, there is still time for Atlético Madrid to do so, provided they maintain a consistent winning streak. However, it seems that Atlético Madrid will find it difficult to become champions at this point because there are Villarreal, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, who are undoubtedly teams that will be hard for Atlético Madrid to overtake, but the main ones are Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Were you lucky in the Atletico Madrid vs. Alaves match? Fortunately, I was lucky in this match because I lost in the Barcelona vs. Real Sociedad match.

You are right possession, passes, attempts etc without scoring goal is useless and pointless and sometimes some teams are always unfortunate and very unlucky and Barcelona was a victim of that circumstance yesterday and I'm sure they could not believed it. I know Real sociedad can be very tough at times but with their form I was thinking they won't be able to do anything but I was totally wrong all this while and this has given Real Madrid confident and hope that they can still do something about the La Liga trophy. A point difference right now is actually nothing.

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.

Winning the game is not a thing the supposed best side has to always do . Sometimes even with all their efforts they will still not be as lucky as the said weak side. That is what football can look sometimes but with Barcelona I believe they can and will always do their best enough to have the luck on their side as often as possible.

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.

Refereeing errors if you can call them that are there and they make part of the game is a very simple thing and they are there, you just have to know how to accept them, of course Barcelona wasted several scoring opportunities but let's say that this makes everything even more interesting

This was actually a very entertaining match, both teams played well and gave nothing away. Respect for the opponent, the fans, the competition, and their own club. Racing Santander literally put up a fight with half a reserve team till the end. and their best players were Andres Martín, Indigo Vicente, Peio Canales, and Gustavo Puerta.

Though Arana was substituted at halftime, their priority is promotion. Big teams in laliga should beware for Racing Santander next season, because from my observation, I believe if they had been been even slightly clinical in attack, they could easily have gone to extra time,or probably won the match. The player who thought he could be the hero that score alone but his ego got the better of him, and he also missed on the next play with a counter attack. They also had that intensed level of play and tactical discipline!

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.

Barcelona played a monumental game, although it didn't go for the best but still played good football and was really focused, despite everything, Real Sociedad managed to win, so this means that not everyone is safe from defeats, They need to be more focused

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.

Barcelona has always struggled when playing at Anoeta Stadium. In recent seasons, Barcelona has frequently lost against Real Sociedad at Anoeta Stadium. This defeat is certainly detrimental for Barcelona, ​​as the gap between them and Real Madrid is currently just one point. Hansi Flick must analyze this match result to make improvements, especially increasing the effectiveness of converting scoring chances.

During the transfer window, Atletico Madrid considered selling Sörloth. Then they changed their minds and saw once again how right they were. Sörloth scored the goal that earned them 3 points. He is a true striker. They barely beat Alaves, who are in the relegation zone. Sörloth has now scored his 6th goal this season. Atletico is fighting to regain third place. They have to rely on the players they have. This season, Alvarez and Griezmann have scored 6 goals each, while Sörloth has 7. They are getting some contribution from all three strikers, but it needs to increase.

Number of passes, and ball possession all are nothing if you don't win at the end of the match.

In football, what matters is the number of goal you're able to score and not your fancy display. No matter how beautiful you play, if your team fail to score and win the game, your beautiful performance is as good as nothing. Barcelona played excellently but they were not fortunate enough to locate the back of the net to at least get a point against Real Sociadad. Although I expect Barcelona to win easily but it's still not surprising, you can not always win every game in this competition and Barcelona is not an exception on this. Barcelona is still maintaining the lead on the table with a point ahead of Real Madrid. This is the perfect time for Madrid to catch up with them only if they won't miss their chances.

Refereeing errors are part of the game like you said, but when it's too much, it becomes a huge problem. This is one of the reasons why most people assume that these matches are fixed. The federation of Spanish football association needs to fix a lot of things this year, if they're willing.

However, well played by both teams. Barcelona messed up in their last play, something Albacete didn't do against Real Madrid. Basically, Real Madrid isn't that bad and Barcelona isn't that good either.
In as much as Barcelona need strong defence, and the club is seemingly ignoring the fact that besides Joan garcia and Eric garcia, rest of the defence is weak.

Hansi Flick will definitely review this match and see where they made the most important mistakes. Barcelona have been winning regularly but have tasted defeat after a long time. They have not been able to add points at a time when they are only 1 point ahead of Real Madrid. Losing one match will not affect Barcelona performance that much because they are still at the top and a stable team. Flick will definitely review the team weaknesses and get back on a winning streak from the next match.

Barcelona had many opportunities, but unfortunately, they had to accept that poor result. An unexpected outcome, but that's what happened. The situation in the standings will become even more interesting, with the competition with Madrid, which I believe will be exciting until the end of the season. Both teams will also meet again in the future, which could possibly be a very decisive match.

I noticed one thing from the Real Sociedad guys from the beginning, it is they showed high level of commitment to win the match and it is with such will they were able to beat Barcelona and even the first offside goal alone was a signal to the Barcelona team they did not come to play and despite such, Barcelona still played a decent game and created enough opportunities they could convert to goals but you know sometimes football has a way of humbling you in front of the world and some also sayed they saw the losses written over the face of the Barcelona club since they also failed to play the game with Raphinha.

Real Sociedad had the worst start of their season, things have never been on balance till round 16th, this was clearly indicating that they are going to be having problematic season. 4 wins & 4 draws and 8 loses but 2026 gave them energy, and now they have 4 matches without losses which brings them into a good level.

In this game, they have done good job despite better ball control and aggression from Barcelona, from start till end things were not favourable and many were sure they are going to face defeat, but they stayed positive and having good win which gave them good morale for staying positive mode and have good chance of fighting for UEFA competition spot.

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.

How did you think they would capitalize on their advantage if the sending-off happened in the 88th minute?  By that point, Sociedad was already ahead, and their only option was to stall and play 100% defense. I think Barcelona would have had a better chance with an equal number of players. When a team plays with 10 men, they completely retreat into defense and are impossible to catch out on the counterattack or by losing the ball in the center of the field.

This is what normally happen to show us that football all about luck, i did not pay much attention to this game because I don't see real sociedad a threat for Barcelona, because i consider Barcelona as the best team in La Liga now which was why I cannot give it much attention. Real sociedad remind me that the hosted Barcelona and they can also defeat them no matter they are performance.

I have given so much confidence in Barcelona that they will not give Real Madrid a chance to win this title, but what a surprised. Instead of having 4 point difference now it can reduce to a point, which is very dangerous for Barcelona to maintain because assuming it is another club that are behind, I will confidently say that there's no any issue, but now that Real Madrid are waking up, I don't think Barcelona will find it easy anymore.

This lost is quite hilarious like who would believe with such an insane form Barcelona is they could lost to Real Sociedad after playing all they could yet they lost to down table team Real Sociedad, it was a surprise to me now the gap in point is not that much any more and I wish Xabi Alonso is still in the team this could have been a golden opportunity for Real Madrid but I don't see this new coach having such potential in him, like he can't meet up the demand, so I will still give the chance of winning the Spanish LA Liga title to FC Barcelona no doubt.

It is a terrible match for Barcelona from how they dominated the match, made many shots but losing the match eventually. This defeat is bad for Barcelona in La Liga as Real Madrid now have only 1 point less than Barcelona, and the title opens againn for both biggest clubs in Spain. Their stats in this match are very surprising as in other matches, they would have scored many goals and destroyed their opponents already.

Anyway this match is for Real Sociedad that surprisingly beat Barcelona down and rescued La Liga by opening the title competition for Real Madrid again. With only one point difference between two title competitors, the competition will become more unpredictable and hotter in remaining months.

They really frustrated Barcelona. I watch the match, Barcelona did everything possible to get a comeback but Real Sociedad's defense was very tough for the likes of Yamal to penetrate easily, even when 9 minutes extra times was added after 90mins, they couldn't do much since the defense was too tough for them.

 Well to Barcelona fans, this lose would be very painful since the gap on the standings won't be much but to their Arch rival Real Madrid this lose is an advantage and hope that they can still top the table, Barcelona needs to avoid such from happening in the future cause Real Madrid could take over the first place if they lose or draw their next match.

[m4r1o]

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.

I was very shocked rather than surprised. It is a Sq2uadra that must overcome all the challenges that come its way, but this thing is not going the wrong way, now Real Madrid can take advantage of it which is there pawing and is in the home stretch close to the goal
