La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[sana54210]

it is possible that Alonso did not have a good relationship with many players or that some did not like him. But Mbappé has played consistently well and he has maintained his position as the top scorer in La Liga to this day. I have my doubts about Vinícius' performance. He performed fairly well at the beginning of the tournament but has not been performing well for several months. But he has been playing fairly well since Alonso was sacked. For Barcelona, ​​the return of Real Madrid will hinder their chances of winning the trophy and Hansi Flick will have to re-plan and motivate the players. It will not be easy for Real Madrid to beat Barcelona. It will be a very difficult task for Real Madrid to win the trophy by leaving a team that has been performing consistently on the sidelines so easily. How long the new manager Arbeloa can keep the team in a winning streak remains to be seen.

It is obvious that when Vini was taken to side and became the second player, he lost all of his power and he started to look terrible. He is not the type of player who can play good if he is not the star player, he only shines if you think of him as the superstar and give him the ball at all times, when he is only told to do his job as winger, he starts to eb terrible.

Mbappe on the other hand is talented enough that he can shine as left winger if needed be, and scores a lot as striker because that's what they need him to do. This is why there is no reason why Vini should be their number one. And the fact that he asked to be paid as much as Mbappe, while having a season like this, proves that they may even sell him.

No one knows what will happen in the future, don't underestimate Real Madrid too much because in any football it can still happen, the team that is currently leading the standings can also experience a setback if unexpected things happen such as tired players or injury factors, moreover, currently the point difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is only 1 point, so Real Madrid also still has a great opportunity to win the La Liga title, they have changed a coach who has a coaching system that suits the characteristics of the players and currently looks very good, we can see the statistics of Real Madrid has now won a streak again.

It would be a huge mistake to underestimate Real Madrid.
Even though they're in a slight crisis, or even in crisis if you like, they're only one point behind Barcelona. And Barcelona and Hansi Flick can't afford any distractions or mistakes.
All this pressure certainly won't do their team any good.

Yea, Barcelona is currently on pressure because any mistake from them will cost them losing the top spot to their rivals. If only Barcelona would continue winning the rest of their matches that's when there will be no hope for Real Madrid. However, we still have many matches to play before the end of the season and it's a big challenge for Barcelona to win all their matches to win the title.

There's no way Barcelona will win all the remaining matches and there is no way Real Madrid is winning all the remaining matches also and even up to this moment the league is still very much open to both teams I can't include ATM because those guys only concern is to qualify for the UEFA Champions League so it's between Barcelona and Real Madrid so any of them that lost control will definitely have themselves to blame because the point is not really that much to say it belongs to either of them, but deep down I will like Real Madrid to win it.

At the end of the season, Atletico Madrid may interfere with the title. I don't expect Atletico Madrid to have a long journey in the Champions League, so Atletico Madrid will have some free time at the end and can focus on La Liga. On the other hand, Real Madrid and Barcelona will have their main focus on the Champions League at the end of the season, so it will be difficult for them to maintain consistency in La Liga.

But the latest battle will be limited to Barcelona and Real Madrid. Barcelona had the opportunity to widen the points gap, but they failed to do so. Now the gap is only 1 point. Real Madrid is still doubtful with the new manager, I can't fully trust them.

Xabi Alonso was a coach who certainly for this type of championship was not able to perform great, clear that he would then be excluded from the players, the thing is very obvious to me, there were players who did not follow what he said and in fact this was the obvious result.

Why Xabi can't perform optimally is because he is hampered by the selfishness of the players and the support of big bosses who are more supportive of the attitude of the players, that is one of the reasons that has been proven to be true. Too much interference in the game is also not a good thing, as if the coach is just a puppet because the formation of the squad must be in line with the instructions of the higher-ups, otherwise it will be eliminated. The pressure is so great that any coach would look constrained if they were coaching Real Madrid.

Of course, the league is open to both of them. Atletico Madrid don't have any business with the title because they don't have the quality to compete with these two teams. Currently, nobody can predict who is gonna be the winner of the title because it's a 50-50 thing despite that Barcelona is one point ahead of Real Madrid because the odd of them winning all their matches is slim.

Barcelona would easily win against elche but one thing we seem to be forgetting is that the underdogs can take us by surprise, Barcelona has a high chance if winning but I won't be surprised if the game turns out to be the opposite. But they have a lot to lose at this point if they start losing their matches. The best pick fot this game is for them to win either half.

Even then FC Copenhagen club is an underdog against the Barcelona club but the first surprise is belong from them Copenhagen score the first goal at 4' minutes.
However, even though Copenhagen is ahead in terms of score here, if we review the situation on the field, we will see Barcelona in a strong position. And if they continue to do so in the way Barcelona is performing in an attacking format, we will soon see that they have recovered by scoring goals. And later, of course, Barcelona will score again and go further and I think that is the end result that we will see Barcelona as the winner. Which we have seen Barcelona do with Real Betis before.

What is clear is that Xabi wants to have his own authority in managing his team but it turns out to create clashes with his own players and what is even more difficult is when management supports selfish players which makes Xabi unable to have more authority in disciplining the players under him at Real Madrid, it can be said that Xabi was not able to control Real Madrid and become a competent coach there, but that does not mean he is not a good coach for other teams, for example Leverkusen, he managed to bring glory to Leverkusen.

Sure. Athletico Madrid doesn’t have the ability to compete for the title  this season. Barcelona and Real Madrid are the two teams we are anticipating for the La Liga title, because they are sharing almost the same points, Barcelona is ahead of Real Madrid with just 1 points.

which make it difficult for everyone to predict who will win the title this season. Let’s see what this two clubs will do in the next coming matches, because I know both of them won’t joke with any opportunity they get to score, they will surely make the use of it.

[snipie]

However, even though Copenhagen is ahead in terms of score here, if we review the situation on the field, we will see Barcelona in a strong position.

Barcelona is better as you mentioned and they flipped the table on the head of Copenhagen at least for now. The result is 3 - 1 for Barcelona after scoring three goals after the break.
The problem is now Real Madrid. After they were leading with 1 goal, they received three then Mbappe was able to reduce the gap to one goal difference. Benfica performed more than what was expected from them.
Atletico Madrid is in the same situation as Real Madrid. They scored first then saw Bodo overtaking them with a goal difference..

[Solodoski]

You are right but honestly both are facing almost same pressure because if Real Madrid should drop points also it will increase the struggle of trying to cover up point difference again and it is even possible they may not catch up again but I believe the reason why you sounded like the pressure is more on Barcelona is because they are leading and any mistake Real Madrid will top the table which they are almost at the verge of winning and will bid Barcelona goodbye if Real Madrid top them.

Very true. Barcelona and Real Madrid are under the same pressure to win the league. Only 1 point separates them in the table. If Real Madrid drops point Barcelona extends their lead, and if Barcelona drops point, Real Madrid takes the lead. All games are very important for both teams and they understand the pressure it takes to be close to the title They have to keep their head calm if they wants to win the league trophy. Not only are the making mistakes, they are showing their weakness, making them vulnerable to other teams.

Both teams don't have sure who will win the league competition and they are just one point difference and know teams will like to lose any point in the league competition. Barcelona are more stronger then real madrid this season in the Competition and that is why madrid have drop alot of point in the league table and give Barcelona opportunity to top the league, and they are still topping the league but there performance as be reducing in the competition and making real madrid get closer to the top of the league and if madrid top the league they won't like to lose any match that will drop there point.

You're not entirely wrong. And that annoys me because I generally disagree with takes like this.

Five goals this season. For Vini, that's rough. Asking for a bigger contract than Mbappe at this time does seem insane. I'll give you that.

The whole club was a mess. Alonso fired after seven months. The fitness staff was reshuffled. There was apparently a point where Alonso asked the players to give Barcelona a guard of honor after the Super Cup loss and they refused. Flat out refused. That's a chaos, not one guy under performing.

Since Arbeloa came in? Different vibe entirely. Vini playing inspiringly against Monaco. Created opportunities against Villarreal. Not saying that he's "back" but there's something there again.

What I actualy think will happen, his agent literally flew into Madrid last week. Contract talks were frozen for seven months thanks to Alonso. Now that obstacle is gone. Arbeloa and Mbappe both publicly defended him.

So... Sell him? I doubt it. Cash in on a 25 year old when Saudi money is forcing your hand anyhow? Florentino is smarter than that.

Could be wrong though. We'll see by summer.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are in the position where they can risk anything than lose their league games because the pressure is there; none of them want to leave their respective positions now in the Laliga table that’s why all of them wants to win all their matches even though we know that all of them will drop points but any of them that drop points first will be following the other team because they are all looking for opportunities.

Barcelona currently have average teams to be played in their next five matches, that can be an opportunity for them to give Real Madrid since Madrid have some big games to be played which that’s why I think Barcelona will take the lead.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Everything just seems to take shape after Alonso's contract was terminated by the team. Just like you said, Vini is improving. Endrick is almost shifting everyone's focus to Lyon as he does his miracles in every game. Scored 3 goals in the last 2 games played, plus an assist-- is this really the same person that was benched almost throughout the season? I think the man lost his credibility long ago and it was his time to leave.

So... Sell him? I doubt it. Cash in on a 25 year old when Saudi money is forcing your hand anyhow? Florentino is smarter than that.

Could be wrong though. We'll see by summer.

Yeah, you could be wrong... Oil money on Vini can replace someone much more younger, with a proper scouting team, plus a huge chunk still left for the team. I hope he doesn't decide on that too Btw.

Title match in La Liga is heating up with Barcelona beating Real Madrid by single point despite playing 21 matches so far. You are right that Barcelona has huge chance to get ahead in coming five matches because their matches are far less hard than test that faces Real Madrid against teams like Valencia and Real Sociedad.

However, although league matches are in favor of Barcelona, and Real Madrid could have secret way leading into rest due to fact that they were one who lost cup recently, while Hansi Flick Barcelona continues to play some extra midweek matches. I think in case Barcelona manages not to lose such stars as Lamine Yamal, they should win by three or four points in this season, yet if they get tired, extra time of rest will help Real Madrid to reach first place.

The La Liga title race between Barcelona and Real Madrid is heated up but Real Madrid with a shocked defeat in Portugal in a latest match in UEFA Champions League will have many things to do. They got a better situation in La Liga title race with Barcelona but it's because Barcelona suddenly bad results lately in a domestic league while Real Madrid have yet improved themselves compares to how they performed with Xabi Alonso as a head coach and his management.

By playing very bad like how they shown in the match with Benfica, Real Madrid will have high risk of losing points in La Liga and this if happens will make their title race directly with Barcelona becomes more hoplessly. Barcelona can lose points too but it will be only helpful for Real Madrid if they can play better and get more points than Barcelona.

Sure, Gonzalo Garcia scored an hat-trick, but would you trust him to replace Mbappé in an important match? I like Garcia but he barely played, he could be the next Raul or the next Portillo because we need to see him more often. And I'm actually disappointed that he got very little play time until now. At this point it's clear they need to preserve a little Mbappé, there is no point for him to play every single match otherwise there is the risk to arrive tired at the end of the season.

Why do you think that Kylian Mbappe should be preserved even when he is fit to play just to give Gonzalo Garcia more playing time. Do you know what it will cause Real Madrid if Mbappe start becoming absent in some of their matches? a player that has scored in almost all the matches he has played this season and you want him to be benched just because of Gonzalo Garcia. Real Madrid didn't sign Kylian Mbappe for him to rest, they already know his capacity in goal scoring so they cannot try such a thing to reserve him in some matches. Perhaps, if he becomes tired or injured, Garcia can now stand as a replacement until he gains back fitness. Inasmuch as Mbappe is fit, he should play every match, there should be no excuse not to feature him in some matches except if they are preserving him for a bigger match in the Champions League.

Maybe you completely missed what I wrote before that post, or maybe you simply didn't understand a word. I'll explain it again: the first thing I said it was that Real Madrid is extremely Mbappé-dependent because he scored the majority of the goals. I think the second best goalscorer (considering Liga + CL) is Vinicius, who scored 7 goals. Seven. Mbappé scored 36. So on one side we have the French striker scoring like crazy, on the other we have all the teammates who barely score goals because not having a second player with a double-digit number is bad. Because of this thinking I said that Real Madrid must also preserve Mbappé because if for any reason he gets injured than they are going to be in huge troubles. And how do you preserve Mbappé? By letting Garcia playing more, I'm talking about games that are supposed to be easy because I don't think you need Mbappé to win against Real Oviedo, Levante, Mallorca, etc. And in this way the manager can also understand Garcia's potencial: is he actually a Real Madrid player? Can they relay on him for the future?
I hope now it's clear what I meant to say.

Barcelona can lose points too but it will be only helpful for Real Madrid if they can play better and get more points than Barcelona.

Real Madrid could have finished in the top 8 of the table with a draw against Benfica. But they lost the match. As a result, their path to qualifying for the Round of 16 became a little difficult for them.

Real Madrid won by a large margin against Monaco with the help of Arbeloa. They also secured a 2-0 victory against Villarreal. But they performed abysmally against Benfica. Benfica dominated the match from the start and secured the victory. Madrid could not even equalize the match. Although Madrid scored the first goal of the match, they were 2-1 down in the first half. And even then Benfica controlled the match.

[Gallar]

Why Xabi can't perform optimally is because he is hampered by the selfishness of the players and the support of big bosses who are more supportive of the attitude of the players, that is one of the reasons that has been proven to be true. Too much interference in the game is also not a good thing, as if the coach is just a puppet because the formation of the squad must be in line with the instructions of the higher-ups, otherwise it will be eliminated. The pressure is so great that any coach would look constrained if they were coaching Real Madrid.

Yes, currently the management team at Real Madrid doesn't seem as good as it used to be, because now they also seem to be as selfish as the players. So that's why a team like that clearly won't be able to get good results in every competition they participate in, because as we know the key to a team's success is teamwork and must have good teamwork. This also applies to the management team as well.

So that's why Real Madrid's performance is always less than optimal in every competition,, and in the UCL, Real Madrid was defeated by Benfica last night and that was clearly a very embarrassing result. Because in this match, Real Madrid was predicted to be able to win, but in reality they had to lose by a fairly large score. So this is truly a setback for Real Madrid, because usually they always can perform well in the preliminary round like this. But now Real Madrid actually lost to a team that is considered weak by others, so in essence, this is a very disappointing result.

It would be a shame if Mallorca were relegated, as Vedat Muriqi is currently one of the top goalscoring candidates after Mbappé. I hope Mallorca can stay in La Liga and improve their performance. Meanwhile, Levante and Oviedo don't have much hope, as the points difference is so big that it will be difficult to pull Getafe or Rayo Vallecano down.

Obviously it would be a shame, however scoring goals isn't the only way to be good. He scored 14 goals and yet the whole team scored a total of 24 goals, meaning dude scored more than all other players in his team combined, and not only that but he also can't stop other teams scoring neither, they conceded 33 goals instead and that shows you that they are not doing that much of a big deal at all, they are doing a very bad job at defense at the moment and because of that it is not going to be easy at all for them.
