La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Adbitco]

I was watching Arsenal match and immediately the match went to halftime. I decided to check the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and to my surprise, I’m seeing that Atletico Madrid is losing with 4 goals, I’m just in shock I never expected this kind of result in this match, lookman is really a blessing to Atletico Madrid he has scored 1 goal and given 1 assist, his doing very well in in Atletico Madrid and I believe they can lift the copa del Rey trophy with this kind of performance, this is a very big lost for Barcelona and they can never come back in the second half with this kind of goal margin, congratulations to Atletico Madrid already.

In my wildest dreams I didn't I would see this type of result today or anytime soon concerning Atletico Madrid Vs Barcelona. Barcelona were thrashed today, not even a single goal was scored today by them, I'm still surprised and shocked at the same time because of someone had today me that Atletico Madrid will win without Barcelona scoring even one goal, I would have doubted it with everything in me, but here we are, not 2 or 3 but 4  goals scored without reply. I'm sure lots of people will lose their bet today because of this very game, because hardly will anyone play Atletico Madrid to beat Barcelona without Barcelona scoring at least one goal.

With the way the game is going I don’t think there’s any comeback in this besides Barcelona lack the players to get back into this game. When I first saw the squad list I knew it was going to be very difficult for Barça to win I wasn’t expecting this level of humiliation.

They completely deserved the loss tonight, the goal could have boosted their morale but then it turned cold with so much time for review and was eventually ruled out. There’s absolutely no way they could win UCL with their predictable match.
All the opponents have to do is beat the high line, the rest is all going to be story ..

Truly Ademola Lookman is a great addition to this Simeone’s side, man is acting like Luis Diaz of Bayern… Just walked straight into the squad and is doing wonders, would have been two goals for him but one was given as own goal.

It’s so nice to see one of our stars destroying a big team.. I wasn’t really surprised after how he performed at AFCON.
Atletico could compete better I guess, but they might still need one or two more signings. I would like to see how they perform at the current UCL stage.

The defeat was really massive, Barcelona defense was nothing to write home about, just see the way the strikers of ATM was bypassing their defense, the goal would have even been more than four if you consider the numbers of goal that was missed by Antoine Griezman and the likes...

Barcelona were just humiliated today because I didn’t even expect them to concede that amount of goals today. Seriously conceding 4 goals is really bad, Barcelona had a terrible defense today, which made the match so easy for Atletico Madrid. It’s surprising that Barcelona dominated the match, but Atletico Madrid were the one scoring goals in the match. Am so disappointed at Barcelona, I know it’s normal to lose, but conceding 4 goals is embarrassing and  Atletico Madrid wasted some chances it would have been more than 4 goals.

Their next game is at home against Real Sociedad, but Sociedad are in very good form right now. And just a few days after that match, Real will have to play against Benfica, so Arbeloa will need to think not only about securing the win against Sociedad but also about preparing the team properly for the match with Benfica.

It normally happens like this is in so many teams as well... How do they manage the players, even in conversation to win one or sometimes, two league matches before a UCL game? All he needs to do is make his reserve team for the UCL, then give out some spot to the academy boys to secure themselves a future spot in the team A.
Inarguably, it's going to be a tough one for them, but what else can they do? They don't have too many options/ choices, they just need to improvise. Meanwhile, Benfica also has a match tomorrow against Santa Clara, which can also influence their performances in a few days.

I never saw this coming tbh. Atletico has demolished Barcelona today. Atletico is one team that you cant predict when they will play better. Against Real Betis they flailed to score a goal, today they unleashed the beast on Barcelona. Maybe they are better when they are not playing league games because today game is the copa del rey semi-finals. I like their enthusiasm for this competition. Maybe the league competition is more difficult for them to chase, they are now chasing the one they can compete to win.

This result surprised me a lot, I'm not worried about winning or losing. But Atletico Madrid would make a big goal difference of 4-0, it was definitely unusual. It was an unimaginable match for Barcelona, ​​they could not have imagined that they would lose so badly in the first leg. In the second leg we will see a defensive lineup from Atletico Madrid, which they always do. In this case, it is very difficult for Barcelona to get past the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey and enter the final.

[JiiBs]

A spectacular game it was and Barcelona couldn’t draw a single goal back, that was awful. I wonder why the manager had to make Lewandowski come from the bench on this important game… was he of the opinion that they would come on as finishers and get to the scoring real quick before Atletico Madrid would realize what is going on… well, Atletico Madrid made damned sure the game was finished from the first half. Scoring early goals to draw Barcelona out and then they scored some more.

[snipie]

In this round Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad and Barcelona will play against Girona. Barcelona's match is easier than Real Madrid but both these teams should win their game.

I never saw this coming tbh. Atletico has demolished Barcelona today. Atletico is one team that you cant predict when they will play better.

I feel Atletico Madrid is getting stronger after this winter transfer window. We have to see now if they will remain consistent or not. Otherwise defeating Barcelona with 4 goals is so relieving for them when they will face Barcelona again in the second leg of Copa del Rey.

[Justbillywitt]

Barcelona are currently being humiliated by Atletico Madrid. Atletico finished the first half 4-0 ahead and if the match ends like this, it’s clear that Barcelona will have a very difficult time in the second leg.

Atletico Madrid had only 30% possession in the first half but still managed to score four goals. It’s really surprising that despite dominating possession, Barcelona couldn’t find the net.

What a shocking performance from Barcelona to have conceded 4 goals in first half and went the full match without scoring a single goal. Not that they were lacking their major players. Well football can be very surprising and today was a shocker for all Barcelona fans. Even if Atletico Madrid were going to win, I didn't expect the 4 goals to nill trashing. Barcelona won't make it to the final, because I don't see them overturning this result in the second leg.

[Stepstowealth]

Athletical Madrid has done it again. This is the end of the road for Barcelona at Madrid. ATM has beaten the giants of Spain mercilessly at home. First it was real Madrid who was beaten and now Barcelona. Ademola Lookman also registered a goal. What a performance by Diego Simeone is becoming a serious threat at Spain. Congratulations to ATM, they really deserved the win. Barcelona was taken unaware and they paid the price. The second leg will be a tougher game and may end in draw at camp Nou. Barcelona may not have the opportunity to score all the 4 goals this time.

If Barcelona are able to score two goals in the first half in the return leg, we will have a serious second half to watch. I still think that we should not quickly cancel Barcelona on the comeback, they have the players, and even a coach who can click it and make it happen. The Barcelona fans at the home stadium will have a role to play, they will need to do a lot of Cheering to see if they can help the morale of their players to be able to fight hard to score goals and try get an equalizer.

I like to say that it is good to see Alvarez among the players who scored.

It is also good to recognize that Barcelona had a red card in the middle of the game, although some of the goals have already been scored before the Red card, but then it was a terrible day for Barcelona. However, I'm happy for Ademola Lookman as he was able to see the back of the net in a crucial encounter like this, more like the man for the big occasion. I wasn't too surprised as Atletico Madrid is one team that are very good in pulling such surprise against clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

It is what it is, football is full of surprises. It can leave you with an unexpected shock that you can't explain, that it happened to a team that was unbeatable in many of their matches. Let me not imagine how many people would lose their bets today because Barcelona lost to Atletico Madrid. It will be messy that it was Barcelona that made them lose their bet

Atletico Madrid is really running riot in this Copa del ray competition, they brutally beat real Betis by 5 goals to nothing in the this competition few weeks ago to qualify for this semi final encounter against Barcelona, only for them to score 4 goals past Barcelona who everyone sees as the clear favorite to win this competition. With the way Atletico Madrid is playing in the copa del ray I think they are focused on winning the trophy since they can’t fight to win the la liga. Their recent performances in la liga have been short of expectations, especially losing to real Betis at home last weekend. The knew they needed to show character in this game and win Barcelona and be able to fight for a trophy this season. They now stand a more better chance of reaching the final and hopefully win the copa del ray.

[l99l]

Madrid can't help but score plenty of goals in derbies. Today, they completely dominated Barcelona, ​​scoring four goals.
Barcelona's defense was terrible. Atletico Madrid's defense was solid, and once they gained that confidence, they started playing very comfortably in attack and completely dismantled Barcelona's defense.
They scored the goals they wanted with continuous attacks. You rarely see Barcelona so helpless.

With Athletic Bilbao, the second most successful club in the competition with 24 titles, getting beaten yesterday by one goal, there is a chance that they could make a comeback and reach the final.
Atletico Madrid could eliminate Barcelona, but if they go through, there is still a hurdle in Athletic Club. They don't joke when it comes to Copa Del Rey.

I actually thought it was a Laliga game because I didn’t watch it and wanted to say advantage to Real Madrid to go top of the league, didn’t know it was the cup tie.

Wow such an incredible first half by Atletico Madrid, sometimes I wonder the kind of club this Atletico Madrid is or what Diego Simeone actually tells them sometimes because they could turn in a superb performance in a game and then you watch them three days later playing like a team in crisis.

This is a very good advantage for them even though I know Barcelona will be all out to turn this tie around in the second leg. People were actually saying Barcelona have squad depth but just look at the stats of the said depth. It is always hard to actually win by changing the entire team and I think Hansi Flick might learn a thing about that from this game

Atletico Madrid 4 Vs Barcelona 0 FT
The first leg of the Copa del Rey semi final is still a shocker to most of us, what a score line, sometimes I wished it was a league match that this happened. Barcelona dominated the game with the ball as usual while Atletico Madrid were busy scoring the goals, it's like, ok Barcelona you can keep the ball while we score the goals, fair deal. Ademola Lookman and Alvarez combined to score goal number 3 and 4 among themselves. 4 goal at HT, mehhn this is really incredible and looks like a dream still to me, if it were the other way round, it won't have made waves like this though. We await the return leg at Camp Nou.

[Sandra_hakeem]

The importance of a player isn’t solely dependent on goals.. If that’s the case, then Pedri shouldn’t be considered relevant in Barcelona too, although their jobs on the field are quite different. But the truth is, when you have a player like Mbappe on the field, most of the goals will eventually be recorded under his name, disregarding the relevance of players that made such goals happen.

Vinicius has his own character, yes I know but if you’ve been seeing Real Madrid games, then you will know how important he is to the club..

Vinicius Jnr is clearly an asset to the team and has helped in the major development of the team's performances over the years... Let's not talk about his character, anger issues and all whatnot. He's at the peak of his career and Madrid doesn't have any strong replacement for him yet, so why criticize him? Vini isn't expected to score plenty of goals just like you said, especially since Mbappe is already playing as a false 9 and keeps to his positionings. If Madrid wants to terminates his contract because he requested for an extra 10 million Euros to his yearly wages, on bonuses, but Mbappe earns better, they should allow him go Saudi and enjoy the oil money!

It doesn't seem Barca will able to overcome 4 goals aggregate. The better they to forfeit it by scoring own goals in the 2nd leg. It's caused by impossible to overcome 4 goals aggregate when their defense are so terrible to watch. Other than that their high-line was clearly exposed by ATM. They utterly stupid if they use the same strategy for the 2nd leg. I won't doubt them to get same result in 2nd leg. None of their defenders are good. It's also worsen with how they gave no pressure from their forwards. No chance for them to win.

Beside that i believe we will see Atletico to play parking bus again. So impossible for them to win the 2nd leg with more than 4 goals combined with clean sheet. The better they to surrender.

[el kaka22]

Barcelona and Real Madrid levels of teams are pretty great and doing a wonderful job, it is also obvious that we are talking about teams that are doing very difficult on the long run as well if they are not careful with how they manage the club itself. Like if you have a lot of superstars just like Madrid and you do not handle the players and their ego very well? Well then you get fired like Xabi who was a great coach that won Leverkusen their first ever title.

So it is not just about being a good coach, you have to manage to learn to communicate with the players and keep them happy and that usually is the hard part when you are managing a big club. If you can do that, then players will give their 100% and you can win with that talent.
