La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

I was saying same thing that he might adapt quickly and in less than how many days of joining Atletico Madrid he had made his presence known to many, this might be the beginning of a new style of play for ATM who knows, with them playing more of defending but mixing both styles together attacking and defending at the same time. So happy that it wasn't just a random club that Atletico Madrid got this big win, it was Betis a big side that's suppose to fight back, no goal coming from the host, does it mean that ATM are now playing a different game with this 5 goals against Betis?

Lookman is a player that shines anywhere he goes with his style of play he is noticeable. I don't think Atletico Madrid are not changing style of play all because of one man, especially not under Simeone. He has been known to be a defensive minded coach so I don't see no possibilities for changes although the game against Real Betis was a good one, they did well by scoring 5 goals, this is something unusual for them but it's a good thing that they won with a huge goal margin.
Betis losing at home like was surprising , I expected a decent fight, I expected them to challenge better or even draw since they are the home team but it sure wasn't their day.

The 5 goal scored by Atletico Madrid yesterday at the Copa del Rey Quarterfinals was a statement well written by the atletico side to show their commitment and determination to winning the trophy. If they are able to do this, they will be so happy as all their efforts and investments on the new players like Lookman will not be seen as an effort in futility. A 5 goal victory is one which will continue to give the club the pride and confidence to strike more in their next two games. Now Barcelona, Athletic Club, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid are the clubs playing the semifinals. It will really be interesting to see who plays against the Barcelona guys but if it is not going to be atletico Madrid then I’m very confident they will go to the finals because they can easily beat the rest of the clubs remaining. Kudos to Lookman for scoring a goal in his debut match and I think he’s made a good decision to be here and in a midst of young players who are working hard to make the club proud.

if the fixture for the semifinals is drawn between Barcelona and ATH, then we might be greeted with a very boring finals as the other two teams are not that strong in comparison, but their making it to the semifinals still speaks of their abilities regardless. ATH looked more effective with the new additions, seems Lookman settled in too quickly and a good one for him to be among the scorers. leaving Atlanta was the best decision he made after he had a fallout with them.

I would love to watch the finals between Barcelona and ATH, it would be a very fierce battle for the trophy, if it goes any other way, then the finals wouldn't be very much interesting.

Who else noticed that Ademola Lookman scored on his debut against Real Betis last night in their Copa del Rey fixture? It was a very comfortable win for Diego Simeone and his boys in the competition but I wonder if they can be able to replicate this performance when it comes to the league because it would be a big shame if they go far in other tournaments but are stuck at a place in the Laliga.
 I believe that if Atletico Madrid can continue this performance they gave against Betis in the league, it would make a worthy competition against the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Lookman was at his best in his first match. He scored a goal and provided an assist. It was a promising game for the future, but we know that it's not right to judge a player based on just one match. Yes, he played well in this match, but this match doesn't tell us how the other matches will go. They will be playing against different teams and different players in every game. Their chances of winning the championship are quite low, and I think they will approach the matches with less stress. The championship will go to either Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​but Atletico Madrid, with its strongest squad, aims to finish this year in the best possible way. Because they still have a goal in the Champions League.

Exactly, if Real Madrid utilize their players aside from Mbappe, they will have more goals and move faster in performance. However, considering the way they are currently playing, they mostly end games with few goals, which means their opponents might equalize and even beat them. Real Madrid have to change their strategy and be more serious about putting more pressure and scoring more goals in the league. That might help them gain something at the end of the season, but if nothing changes in their performances, I think they will finish this season with zero trophies.

If they continue to rely on Mbappe goal contributions, it is certain that Real Madrid will have difficulty developing the game. Ending this season without a trophy is a setback for a club as big as Madrid, at the same time Barcelona as its rival continues to build a more solid squad, although now the difference in points in the league is thin but it is only a matter of time for Madrid to fall behind.

I think the club does not only rely on Mbappe to score goals, the club frees anyone who wants to score goals as long as they are not selfish on the field and still play solidly, I see the lineup of Real Madrid they also put several formations of players who usually always score goals but in the end only Mbappe has the opportunity to score goals and it is also sometimes passes from other players that are successfully used by Mbappe. In my opinion, what Madrid needs to pay attention to is defense, no matter how small their chances of creating goals, if their defense is strong, even 1 goal can make Madrid win, so don't just look at the attack line because the back line also needs to be improved. improved.

Mbappé is indeed a great player and always scores a lot of goals. But it's certainly a shame that even though Real Madrid has many good players, they often fail to capitalize on their chances. They often pass to Mbappé, who ultimately capitalizes on them. Barcelona has players who always appear more confident in front of the opponent's goal, which ultimately results in goals being scored, and not just focused on one player.

But in my opinion, Barcelona and Real Madrid players have their own unique style, and they are certainly the best in La Liga right now. Now we'll see whether Real Madrid or Barcelona will perform better in the upcoming matches.

Mbappe is a phenomenal player and scores a lot of goal, this is a player that just having him in the team gives you an advantage over the others, i am truly convinced that there is no player so technically strong currently who can do what he does at this moment and he is proving it to everyone, this guy is incredible.

Of course, just having him on the team is a huge advantage. When we see how Mbappé plays at Real Madrid, we understand that the other players aren't effective enough. If this continues, Mbappé will remain the brains of the team for Real Madrid. Without Mbappé, they are ineffective in most matches. His presence always gives Real Madrid strength.

I don't think that Simeone is afted winning any title, he is only after maintaining the strength of the club till any season that they're strong enough to fight for the title. Lookmon did excellently well and I hope he can add a big impact on the team attacking line. We all know the favorite spot for Atletico on the table.

[Hypnotizer]

Real Betis is losing form, since losing against Real Madrid in the league, their performance has not been the same, they played at home, but they conceded three goals in the first half, and Atletico Madrid added two more goals in the second half to finish the match 0-5. Atletico Madrid won comfortably and advance to the next round of the Copa del Rey.

Real Betis haven’t been consistent with their performance lately especially in Laliga and yesterday night I was really disappointed by their performance at home, they weren’t able to net even a single goal abd they conceded five, that’s really disappointing and should I say unfortunately for them they will still meet Atletico Madrid in Laliga on Sunday but this time in Atletico Madrid home and with the performance they displayed yesterday I’m kinda certain Atletico Madrid can surely win them again on Sunday or maybe they’ll increase their performance to try and take revenge..


Also Atletico Madrid will face Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey semifinal, Barcelona are definitely favorites to win that game and I’m sure Barcelona will put in effort to move to the final and take the trophy…the last time they meet Barcelona won them with three goals to one and Barcelona’s performance is kinda more good than that of December, so Atletico Madrid have some challenges to overcome.

If this continues, Mbappé will remain the brains of the team for Real Madrid. Without Mbappé, they are ineffective in most matches. His presence always gives Real Madrid strength.

Will Mbappe be luckier with Madrid? At PSG he was a key player, but he couldn't win the UCL. At Madrid, it seems almost the same; his performance as an individual player is very good, proven by him becoming the top scorer. Will Mbappe's curse continue? Failing to win the UCL, and even worse, in his second year he hasn't been able to lead Madrid to a La Liga title. This is based on my observation of Mbappe at PSG. His status as a star player also makes Mbappe bold enough to control his teammates, and this shouldn't happen if there is a head coach in the team. Misfortune might be following him at Madrid right now.

[bastisisca]

Kylian Mbappe has delivered the best performances of his career on the left wing. That is where he gets more space to sprint with the ball and cut inside to take shots. The team looks like it lacks a proper striker, so Madrid urgently needs a clinical finisher. Additionally, there are excellent players on the bench for the midfield.

I don't understand what the hell Real Madrid is doing. Some of their tactical and strategic choices about who to play make absolutely no sense. Honestly, i consider them mistakes only a rookie coach would make, and even their choices about who to play seem completely random.

[banana33]

It was a fantastic game, I was hoping that he scores or assist in his debut and he ended up doing both I heard that his coach Diego Simeone delayed training so he could join and he will be more happier he did start him, just a single training he did with the team and he?s this well adapted to the team I wonder what it might be like going forward.
I?m beginning to get scared for Barcelona at the Copa Del Rey Final, he might be the key to unlocking a title for Atletico Madrid this season.

You want to say this, it was a sensational match.
Very nice, honestly, as a person of humble origins, i really appreciate the entertainment provided by these beautiful and emotion-filled matches.

It doesn't take much for me to connect with the people who experience these beautiful emotions.
Well done Diego Simeone, you have created a little masterpiece.

Kudos to Lookman for scoring a goal in his debut match and I think he’s made a good decision to be here and in a midst of young players who are working hard to make the club proud.

Ademola Lookman has always been a very good player and I am so happy that he finally moved to a club that's fits his status. He has had issues with his manager at Atalanta and I think he was not treated well, despite the fact that he is one of their most important players,  so moving to a bigger club, just tells how good he has been performing.  I am also very happy that he scored on his debut. I am really expecting a lot from him and I am very sure that he will do well and also improve the team.

No doubt, last night Ademola Lookman made impressive debut with Atletico Madrid at Copa del Rey match scoring one goal and make one assist, playing since the early until 74th minutes Lookman has impressive performance on left winger position and has amazing goal scoring after successfully outwitting two Real Betis defenders. I think many fans happy seeing Lookman debut without need more longer time has quite time for adapting well.
Now waiting Lookman contribution at La Liga match where Atletico Madrid face the same opponent team Real Betis, just difference for this time Atletico Madrid will playing home and its great chance for Lookman to show his performance in front of the Atletico fans.

Lookman didn't just score, he also assisted. His touches and link-up play with teammates were good. He also missed a couple of chances, but overall, I think he did well based on the little time he had to train and bond with teammates. Honestly, I didn't expect Lookman to be part of the starting eleven. I thought he would be introduced as a second-half substitute. To start the match sends a clear message that Simeone thinks highly of him.

[KTChampions]

Tomorrow Barcelona are going to host Mallorca. What an easy game on paper right? Mallorca are like one of the worst teams with only 5 points collected in 11 away games.

It should easily be a 3-game winning streak for the home side as a result. They have won all of their 10 home games so far by the way.  

Meanwhile Real Madrid have an away one against Valencia. I appreciate Valencia's home record. They haven't lost for many weeks there. But I think it will be the end of the road this Sunday.

I also think the outcome of these games is a foregone conclusion. But we have an interesting pairing just one rung below: Atlético Madrid plays Betis, and Villarreal (which are practically vying for third place) plays Espanyol. It's unlikely that Betis and Espanyol can threaten Atletico and Villarreal in the fight for the top four, they are more likely to be busy establishing themselves in the European Cup zone, but these will still be interesting games.

[1kodumtek7]

Earlier I saw it on Sofascore like it was going to be Real Sociedad facing Barcelona in the semi finals of Copa del Rey. But it turns out they wrote it wrong interestingly.

Instead it is going to be Barcelona against Atletico Madrid... There are going to be 2 legs in this stage. The first leg is at Atletico Madrid's home. Even though I adored their incredible effort against Real Betis I still favour Barcelona to eliminate them.

He is the only one who is leading Real Madrid forward. You may disagree with my opinion but the fact is that he has contributed immensely to almost every victory this season and is the top scorer in La Liga so far. He has scored 22 goals in 21 matches, including several hat-tricks. Although he has other good players in the team, they are not performing as well as he does.
Many analysts believe that without Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid will be a much weaker team this season. In fact, we have seen how badly the team has been performing and losing points due to his injury in the past few matches.

[m4r1o]

In the next round they will face Atletico Madrid which we know will be quite fierce. Atletico Madrid is currently in good form so Bilbao will continue to improve to be better prepared for the next round.

This victory is important above all for their desire to do well, Athletic Bilbao is a team that is strong but not too much and i think there is little that can be done if Athletic is in perfect physical shape i see it very difficult for them, obviously if everything goes as it should, nothing can ever be taken for granted

This are the potential Madrid saw and taught to make it necessary he becomes part of their team as they have already envisaged the much  they can achieve having him in their corner as a teammate, and so far he has not failed to deliver on his end only  that the entirety of the team does not seem solid and their depth seems to be shaking as at this time so it is not allowing the productivity of his potential filled with as much results as should have been seen by now.

Five goals are really a lot, is like looking at what our attack is capable of doing.
I am not Spanish but I'd be curious to know from a local Spanish person how much the Copa del Rey is worth to them.
Our Coppa Italia isn't highly regarded in Italy, i was curious to know on a scale of 1 to 10 how much is worth to a Spaniard.

[bastisisca]

They played their last Champions League match against Benfica and conceded four goals. Furthermore, two of their players received red cards and will miss the next match against Benfica. Given their demanding schedule and the need to prioritize the Champions League, I think they are likely to drop points in the league.

As i said elsewhere and even a few days ago, i have given Real Madrid my personal negative outlook at the moment.
The team isn't working, and they can't put everything on Kylian Mbappe's shoulders.
It doesn't work that way in teams like that, sorry.
