La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Tamaperdana]

lol.. same VAR official, Carlos del Cerro Grande was present when Lewandowski got his goal ruled out because of offside , reason : long shoes & big toes  .
Now it’s Yamal but not long shoes nor Bigtoes this time it’s the back foot struggling to fit into the offside position  ..what a coincidence at the same  stadium.

It’s gone, rules are rules even though some might tried to be unfair by hiding behind the rules .

I think this is indeed a controversy that perhaps everyone already knows that in this match something is wrong. Because it feels like the goals that were disallowed in this match do not make sense, because I also watched this match and I think the referee's decision was really inappropriate. But what can be done, everything has happened and Barcelona must be able to accept all this with an open heart.

Because no matter what,, the referee's decision can no longer be contested, so Barcelona currently only needs to play better in the upcoming matches and not lose any more points. Because currently the points difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is only one point, so it is clearly not safe for Barcelona. So that's why barcelona must be more enthusiastic now, because if Barcelona can become champions again in La Liga this season, it is clearly a very great achievement.

Barcelona just lost 2-1 to Real Sociedad ending their 11 game winning streak. it's their 3rd loss of the season, and funny enough, 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...

Football is like that, it's never linear and as each of us imagines it, but sometimes it happens practically the opposite and that's why I like it because it's unpredictable and so complicated but at the same time simple, Barcelona could have won easily, but it didn't succeed, that's how it is.

[Bobrox]

The trophy belongs to anyone now because 1 point is a very small difference and Real Madrid has good chance to now lift the league trophy but it won’t be an easy one for them because Barca is very strong and for the fact that Real Madrid is not really that inform and strong they may end up losing there next match there by making the gap between them and Barcelona a little bigger because I’m sure Barcelona will surely win there next match.
La liga is becoming more interesting, when ever the team that is topping the league table is doing that with just 1 point the pressure usually increases there by making the competition more competitive and interesting.

La Liga becoming interested right now regarding 1 point left between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but only both teams are dominance for La Liga race because the 3rd and 4th position teams have many points remaining with the top standings team. Barcelona's defeat to Real Sociedad last match make the La Liga race more competitive and Madrid victory from Levante has chance back to first standings again around one or two weeks later.

For upcoming match have crucial moment exactly for Barcelona and Real Madrid, both teams focus at Champion League match but must playing well in La Liga if won't loss opportunity with first standings. The teams success make rotation I think has bigger chance for leading the top La Liga standings position.

The 2-1 lost against real sociedad on Sunday has narrowed the gap between them and real Madrid now to just only a point gap, 49 and 48 points respectively.
No doubt, sometimes the refs do take decisions that's questionable, but in the end they have the final say, 3 dismissed goals a penalty awarded and later taken away, big time controversial match. Despite the little setback, they need to keep going and focusing on winning their upcoming matches.

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 think Barcelona didn't play with their heads and didn't use all the resources they have available, clearly these guys were in difficulty in that game and they didn't realize that this led to their defeat, I don't understand why but that's how it is

When you are not lucky you will play all the skill in your leg and even have a best chance to score but you will not have the gaol you want to score, so you might be thinking is there head they're not using that is causing them those failing chances but that's what the match just want to do to them, you cannot rate them a performance error because there was no error but wrong places at every opportunity Barcelona has in goals, Real Sociedad defenders are definitely experience in keeping opponents offside because all the Barcelona who scored offside was with Real Sociedad defense but if VAR check it you will see offside.

In football, that's true, but we can't just judge a team by the final result alone, especially since Barcelona has only lost once in the last few matches, and I admit that Barcelona was just unlucky in this match, especially with 2 goals from Barcelona being annulled due to the VAR check, so I don't see any decline in Barcelona's performance.

That is the truth... Barcelona had a really unlucky match with all those shots hitting woodwork, being saved by the goalkeeper and more! But in the end they showed their usual dominance once again.

But interestingly Hansi Flick still talked only about where they made mistakes in the match during the interview. I don't say this is bad though. I respect him a lot for that actually. He wants his players to see their mistakes even in a match that they looked great to us.

Barcelona managed to dominate the match in terms of ball possession and shots on target, but luck was not on their side at all in the game. Before the match started, Barcelona came to Real Sociedad headquarters as the favorite team, but what happened on the field was truly beyond expectations.
Barcelona did not play badly, they managed to create several golden opportunities, but the goalpost prevented their efforts to score. This defeat was very painful for Barcelona, ​​​​not only did their 11-game winning streak come to an end, but their position was also increasingly threatened after Real Madrid managed to reduce the gap to 1 point.

[Volgastallion]

It was a big surprise to see Real Sociedad beating Barcelona, but this is football and this kind of things happens more often than we think also when you come from winning the supercup just a few days before.

Barcelona have some bad luck with the referee calls and some offside for only milimeters, i dont get how we can allow to punish milimeters.

Barcelona were on a nine-game winning streak in La Liga before this game, with several wins coming in the dying minutes. You probably didn't see any luck there?  I think there was more luck than bad luck in the game against Sociedad. It is naive to assume that Barcelona should always win and if not, then it is a unluck. Even now, that's 90% of the points in the last 10 games, which is well above average for title-winning seasons. So I expect further reversion to the mean

A team losing doesn't mean that they have declined in form and beside Real sociedad they lost to is actually not a small team too as they are one of the inform teams in the La Liga and they were playing from home which means they were having the home advantage of the match which was good for them and they utilized it very well to make sure they won the game. Barcelona will bounce back and will do better again.

Yes, if we look at Barcelona's wins, they've achieved many victories in the final minutes. However, it's important to remember that it's not surprising that a team of their quality has won so many matches. They've shown a knack for winning, even in the final moments. In the Sociedad match, Barcelona actually played better, but Real Sociedad won. Barcelona doesn't drop points very often, but will this poor result affect their other matches? After all, there's only a one-point difference between them and Real Madrid right now. We can say they're almost on the same points, and there will be a match between them.

I don't think we should blame the referees in this match. They officiated well, and yes it is very frustrating when you score two goals and both are disallowed. But there really were offsides, so the referees acted according to the rules. And the fact that the Barcelona players were caught offside, I think there is also credit to the Real Sociedad defenders for that. No matter how well a team plays, it cannot win every game. In La Liga there are many strong teams, and I think this will not be the last defeat for Barcelona. But they remain the leaders, and in the next matches they should be more careful in order not to lose again, because Real are very close now.

[tygeade]

To be fair when you are "that" good and they are actually that good, then you start to underestimate your opponents a little bit. Which was normal in this case because they faced a team that is to be underestimated and a bad team. But when you do that, it results with you not playing with your 100% and if the team you are playing against gets a bit lucky, like how Barcelona got offisde and all, then you end up losing of course.

This wasn't a rare thing, many big clubs do underestimate their opponents when they are facing much smaller teams and that results with losses. Look at how Real Madrid ended up in second place, they lost so many games to weaker teams, so many draws too. It's clear it is not an easy thing to be at your %100 on all games.

Wether Barcelona were unlucky to win against Real Sociedad or not, the truth is that at the end, they were beaten and lost three points in the game. I've watched most of Barcelona's games this season and I can authoritatively tell you that there are games they won not because they were better but were lucky to win. The truth is that they're still at the top of the league and stands a very good chance of winning the league title at the end of the season but considering the fact that they're now just a point above Real Madrid, it's safe to say that the league title is now very much open for either clubs to win it.

[jakdanyel]

The La Liga is going on quite interestingly. When you start saying like that must be it and this team will march to the victory suddenly things change. It has happened quite a few times so far.  

Now Barcelona have unintentionally helped Real Madrid get only 1 point behind themselves. I'm always okay with watching a title rivalry until the final week. But will this really happen? We will see about it and I still favour Barcelona for the title.

[Antotena]

Do you think Real Madrid can still survive this fight on the table? I think the mistake of Real Madrid was because they didn't expected too much counter attack from Real Sociedad. I still don't know why Flick decided to use few of his players, there is no important match or tournament now that justified the reason why he decode to let them rest, maybe it's over confidence that gave him that courage but it bounce back, they couldn't even draw the entire time.

I look at Barcelona features timeline and also check Real Madrid features, I feel Real Madrid are going to be having more challenges than Barcelona. Now that Flick see that he has messed up the opportunity to maintain space between Real Madrid, he will not let his boys rest until they create another space again. Don't forget that Real Madrid just signed new coach for the small boys that feel they are bigger than the club, I don't see this club in big any place.

I contend that the referee and all the officials involved are professionals and the decision taken could not have been made outside the rules or at the referee's discretion,

So I will not want to believe that the referee was biased unless any disciplinary committee have come out with a statement discrediting the decision of the officials regarding the outcome of what transpired in that match that led to the cancellation of Barcelona's goal.

Sometimes the calls in a football match makes you to wonder if the installing of the VAR is actually worth it because despite the move by the football federation they seem to be some crazy in some football games and this Barcelona game yesterday was one of them but that being being said Barcelona are not out of the title race yet and I know they will do everything in their power to get back on track and try to actually win the league although Real Madrid are also red hot on their tail.

La Liga becoming interested right now regarding 1 point left between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but only both teams are dominance for La Liga race because the 3rd and 4th position teams have many points remaining with the top standings team.

The La liga title race is mainly between barcelona and madrid. Villarreal and Atletico madrid are not weak teams. They are playing quite well. But if they want to compete  for the title, it is important to perform well  consistently. Villarreal and Atletico madrid have been inconsistent in their performances. Even if villarreal wins their next match , they will be 5 points behind Barcelona. On the other hand, the point gap  between barcelona and Atletico madrid is 8.

The point gap between madrid and Barcelona is only 1 . So if Barcelona makes any mistakes in the upcoming matches, they will lose  the top spot in the table again. Despite barcelona being in good form, they lost against Real sociedad. They will have to perform more carefully in the next matches.
