La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Roseline492]

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.

As the statistics says that's actually how Barcelona was on the pitch but in that match there was a goal cancelled that leads to more other cancelled goals for Barcelona, even the one that was scored by Yamal that should have stayed was also consider off from the linesman who says it was offside, that was how Barcelona missed all the time that was meant for winning into unalloyed goals, they could have also giving a penalty because of how Yamal was kicked but the referee just gave an offside, ordinary the match didn't want Barcelona to win that's why we are seeing all the favourable statistics but they do not win Real Sociedad.

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.

 me too but it's what they deserved, in my opinion they are underestimating some challenges that are being proposed to them and this thing is not at all positive they have to remain concerted on every game and this is what happens if they don't, they have hoped for many scoring opportunities

[Not your key not your BTC]

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

Barcelona always blames the referee when they lose. They're frustrated by their difficulty in breaking through Real Sociedad's defense. Just look at the statistics: Barcelona had 72% possession and 25 shots, with 9 on target, but only managed to score once. But I'm glad Barcelona lost, as the gap to Real Madrid is now just one point, and the LaLiga title race is getting tighter.

[Slow death]

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?  

If Barcelona had won yesterday's game, I highly doubt we would have seen much attention paid to this offside case. But getting to the point about the refereeing, in my opinion I didn't see any problem with the refereeing in yesterday's game; on the contrary, the referees were very good, and we have to be fair to them.

Although I bet on Barcelona to win and lost my bet, I must admit that Barcelona didn't do much to deserve a victory. They wasted good opportunities, and the coach erred in not starting Rashford and Lewandowski immediately, and he paid dearly for that mistake.

[martinom]

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.

The gap of just one point is really interesting and this thing becomes very interesting for the championship, now they have to try to be a good team and try to catch Barcelona, Real Madrid can do it and I think they have almost reached the end. Of course for me Barcellona win the liga this season

[barbara44]

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.

Yeah, Unlucky Barcelona made things very interesting at the top of league table and bringing the struggling Real Madrid back into the title race because this defeat gave them another opportunity for cutting difference which is now just 1 point and both are having good fight till end, Real Madrid's win against Levante was not good at expected margin still give them boost.

2 goals disallowed with too many chances missed, this was clear that they were going to win by good margin, but their performance in second half was not enough for having them any chance of taking 1 point from this game, Laminae Yamal and Marcus Rashford were at their best while others also gave them good support but as mentioned luck was not with them in this game, and they ended on losing side.

Why did you said Barcelona has difficulty in breaking through Real sociedad defense even when you have said they have 25 shots and 9 on target I mean they didn't find any difficulty in breaking through Real sociedad defense rather they were unfortunate yesterday to score there is difference between having difficulty in breaking through and been unfortunate to score. It was very clear they tried all they could but all to no avail and they have given Real Madrid hope.

Catching Barcelona now Is going to be a really huge job for Madrid to get done at this time.you see how relentless Barcelona is at this point, it send only one message and that is, if they get passed you with some point gap, catching up may not happen except things goes really south for them before the end of the season.

Barcelona always seems to blame the referee when they lose even though they're always favored by the referee. Looking at the statistics Barcelona's dominance but their ineffectiveness in capitalizing on opportunities is purely their own fault not the referee's leadership. I get annoyed when a big team loses and the referee is always the scapegoat.

Flick didn't realize that Real Sociedad's play in this match was very solid and they were full of luck. Barcelona attacked relentlessly, but Real Sociedad only conceded one goal. Real Sociedad's defense was very strong as evidenced by the numerous offside goals they employed. Yes, this defeat has made La Liga even more competitive. Barcelona's defeat also revitalized Madrid which is currently experiencing internal problems.

I support Real Madrid and their fans but I am quite realistic with the current situation it is very difficult to catch Barcelona with Madrid's current situation unless they have a very significant change in their game it could be a very good opener, but of course it is difficult especially Arbeloa has not been a coach for long, needs to have a lot of experience to assess everything more, adaptation, compatibility of players and strategies and other things need to be studied very seriously, Barcelona's position is very good they have consistency and persistence that continues, they just need to continue what has been trained with Flick.

La Liga will surely be interesting going forward, but I still have my doubts, though, because Madrid is still trying to find their form after Xabi Alonso's exit, but it is a good club with great plans, so I think they will overcome most of these challenges. At the moment, Barcelona looks strong and very consistent, so it won't be easy for Madrid to catch up that one-point gap, but football can change sides so fast that one bad result for Barcelona and one good result for Madrid and suddenly the table will look different.

There are still 18 matches remaining, and there will certainly be plenty of exciting things to come. Barcelona and Real Madrid will clearly be in a tight battle at the top of the table, and with a one point gap between them, changes in position are likely to occur frequently. However, I don't think Villarreal or Atletico will be able to put any serious pressure, allowing them to re-enter the race for trophies going forward.
Injuries, suspensions, and fatigue due to the congested match schedule will certainly impact each team performance, and we know that's where the manager skills will be truly tested.

Barcelona is in very good form. But it is normal  that they will make some mistakes sometimes. Even after performing well against Real Sociedad, they lost. They could not earn any points. As a result, the gap  between real madrid and barcelona has decreased.

Barcelona is now only 1 point ahead of real madrid. The gap is very small. If real madrid can continue its winning streak, then they still have the possibility of occupying the top spot  of the table. Although Real Madrid's overall performance is a bit unstable. But even then they are able to continue their winning streak.

[Abdulzuruku01]

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.

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.

I like as Real Madrid closed reduced their point gap with Barcelona, this will make the league to challenging. Real Madrid have lost two trophies this season, it won't make sense if they don't compete strongly for the laliga title again and with this now Barcelona will also take their games more serious.

Real Madrid will be very happy as Real Sociedad got victory over Barcelona yesterday, but Real Madrid also have big tasks ahead in their upcoming match against Villarreal which is going to be a crucial match. Because Villarreal is ranked third in the table now and they are in their best form they'll surely give Real Madrid a tough game.

[jakdanyel]

This match was indeed amazing to watch! Although I got upset with the way Barcelona lost I still had so much fun. They played great like most of the time they do. But this time they had 2 enemies:

- Goal post
- VAR

They could have easily scored a few more goals in the match. Real Sociedad must have been on their lucky day at the same time. I don't know how to explain this otherwise.

I can imagine how contented Arbeloa is with this result.

[SquallLeonhart]

If Barcelona had won yesterday's game, I highly doubt we would have seen much attention paid to this offside case.

While it is true that if Barcelona won, then nobody would bat an eye because the expected result was Barcelona winning this game. But the reality is that we are seeing things changing a lot, and for that reason it is not really that easy for referees to get away with mistakes when big teams lose, because every decision will be put to microscoping detail.

Every whistle, every foul, every card, no matter what the decision was, no matter how right the referee was, it will be put to test and into question. He did alright, it wasn't "great" he made some mistakes but I think he didn't really favour any team, and his mistakes were minor and for both teams. This game was lost because Barcelona got snobby, nothing more and nothing less, that was the reason.

[len01]

In the end, Barcelona basically hurt themselves and let the gap with Madrid get smaller. But honestly, just look at how they couldn’t make the most of the game even when Real Sociedad were down to 10 men. It was obvious that Sociedad didn’t give any space to Yamal and the other attackers. Hansi should’ve noticed this in the second half and changed things up, maybe involving the midfield more to finish chances. Instead, they kept forcing it through Yamal. Too much ambition, not enough results, and they failed to score more goals.

On the other hand, credit to Alejandro Remiro, he was absolutely solid in goal for Sociedad last night.

[Ruttoshi]

La Liga will surely be interesting going forward, but I still have my doubts, though, because Madrid is still trying to find their form after Xabi Alonso's exit, but it is a good club with great plans, so I think they will overcome most of these challenges.

Madrid performance hasn't been stable since the beginning of this season and not because Xabi Alonso left if not, he wouldn't leave. Closing the point gap is very important for Real Madrid if they want to bring down Barcelona from the 1st position because Barcelona wouldn't e let go easily.

I know that Barcelona fans are not happy with that defeat because it has reduced the chance of them winning the title. However, we don't know if Real Madrid new coach will be able to win the trophy, time will tell.

Sometimes you just have bad luck, and that's how I'd describe Barcelona's match yesterday. It was clear from the start that Barcelona was head and shoulders above their opponents, but when you score and have your goals disallowed one after another, it can affect your attitude. I think it was an unnecessary defeat for Barcelona, ​​but when Sociedad scored, they started to break the game in every way possible, wasting time and so on, but everyone has their own methods.

[Stavri]

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.

Their 11 game winning streak ended. it’s their 3rd loss of the season and funny enough that Raphinha didn't play in any of those three games. I don't think that's a coincidence. The match was crazy they hit the post 5 times, had 2 goals disallowed for offside and a penalty was overturned. Such a weird game...
