La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Out of mind]

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.

This result was not planned by anyone but we saw a great surprise here which really surprised the audience as a strong team like Barcelona lost by such a big margin. Most people bet on Barcelona in this match and they lost their bets, but Atletico Madrid attacked quite strongly in this game. Such an impressive game which was really amazing Atletico Madrid are back in great form especially when they face strong teams. Many people gave assurances for Barcelona to win in this match but it turned out completely differently as Barca conceded 4 goals, they couldn't even reply with a single goal. I think Barcelona will never be able to win in the next match of the Copa de Rey by giving away so many goals to Atletico Madrid, and will not qualify for the final.  Rather, they will qualify for the final match by beating Atletico Madrid and Barcelona this season and have a significant role to play in winning the trophy.

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.

Barcelona's Copa del Rey exit was quite painful as the heavy defeat they suffered in the match showed they were unprepared. The defensive performance was poor in that match as they failed to contain Atletico Madrid's attacks, although the red card for Eric Garcia cannot be ignored. Lookmam's presence really gives Atletico Madrid more strength as I saw his performance stand out and he's adapted quickly to the club. If they perform consistently, it's not impossible that Atletico Madrid will reach the championship as judging by this match, they also have a much better chance of winning the trophy and it will make it easier for them to face Barcelona in the second leg

I've never witnessed a first half of an Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona match like this before.
Because it was the first time I'd seen Barcelona in such a bad state and concede 4 goals in the first half.
It was very clear that if players got behind Barcelona's defense, they would cause them problems.

Yesterday, Barcelona's defense struggled a lot in the first half.
What surprised me most was that Barça scored a goal in the 51st minute. VAR reviewed this goal for almost 7 minutes and ruled it offside.
Even if that goal had been scored, the result would only have been slightly less than the score, that's all. In a match where 4 goals were scored in the first half, there were no goals in the second half, and the match ended 4-0 in favor of Atletico Madrid, who advanced to the Copa del Rey final.

The semifinals of the Copa Del Rey usually have two legs, so we can’t yet conclude that Atletico Madrid have qualify for the finals…we have to see the result from the next match which will be played at the Camp Nou, Maybe Barcelona might be able to pull a comeback in the second leg..maybe

Basically everyone was shocked by Barcelona performance yesterday, they struggle to even score a single goal even though they had more possession and they instead conceded four goals in the first half!  Also the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper made some wonderful saves like that of Fermin and Ferran in the second half and he got a clean sheet against Barcelona.

So you still believe that Barcelona can come back from four goals down without atletico madrid scoring a single goal at the nou camp?
Am just a bit surprised by this your statement here because I do not believe that you are this naive.

The fact is that Barcelona never thought that the atletico madrid forward line was this good, they initially thought that atletico madrid is still the team they always beat anytime they are up against them, not realizing that the addition of ademola lookman to their team makes atletico madrid forward line to be now more ruthless and infective in front of goal, so they were just too much to handle for the porous backline of Barcelona.

Crazy result in the Atletico vs Barcelona game. I did not expect Barcelona to suffer an embarrassing defeat like that. I see lots of Barcelona fans blaming the pitch at Metropolitano Stadium which seems a bit far fetched. It’s only the 1st leg but you have to think thT at 4-0 it is probably too much for Barcelona to do in the 2nd leg to reach the final.

I am sure that very few bettors have bet on Atletico Madrid to win this match. Atletico Madrid are not a weak squad, they are quite strong. And it was their home match. Even then, it was very difficult for Atletico Madrid to beat Barcelona. But the surprising thing is that Atletico Madrid scored four goals in this match, while Barcelona could not score a single one.

I do not know why Barcelona suddenly fell into such a slump. The performance of the defenders and goalkeeper was very bad. Balde, Cubarsi, Garcia and Kounde were in defense. Even then, Barcelona conceded 4 goals. Torres, Yamal and Olmo were also in attack. Even then, Barcelona could not score any goals. It is very difficult to qualify for the final after losing by such a big margin in the first leg.

[mandown]

Raphinha wasn't in Barcelona's squad, but even if he had been, nothing would have changed.
Atletico Madrid would have won anyway.

Atletico tried to control the game in the second half and played at a comfortable pace. They didn't try to score more goals.

Yamal threw himself to the ground to win a penalty, but the referee didn't believe him. Yamal writhed on the ground so much that I thought it was a penalty, but when it reappeared on the screen, I saw it wasn't. They call him the new Messi, but I've never seen Messi try to win penalties with such cheap tricks.

Atletico Madrid deservedly won and advanced to the final.

Honestly, we have not seen such a bad performance from Barcelona in a long time. I don't even remember the last time Barcelona conceded 4 goals. But Barcelona performed badly from the start in this match against Atletico Madrid. Just 7 minutes into the match, Barcelona conceded a goal due to Eric Garcia's mistake. And that's when Barcelona's rhythm collapsed.

Barcelona completely failed to dominate the match. They didn't even score a single goal. Barcelona should have performed better. Barcelona's failure to score a single goal despite having 65% ball possession was one of the biggest failures. Barcelona's boys lost confidence at the beginning of the match, which is also one of the reasons why Barcelona lost by a large margin.

It would be an excuse if some of the players who couldn't be in the squad were always used as a reason for defeat but on the one hand this proves that Barcelona also still have problems in consistency when their core players cannot be played in a match even though their squad depth is very good.

It's an unthinkable defeat but it's also something that should be evaluated because the all out tiki-taka style of attack has wide gaps in the defense at the moment.
Balde? Why is he so slow and unable to do anything because looking at the 4 goals they all came from the same side and unfortunately Barcelona did not learn from their initial mistakes which made the situation worse with a series of 4 goals without reply.

The second half saw nothing really happen apart from Barcelona's demise as Atletico had good control and focus in their rhythm which made the situation favorable for them.
We'll see how the second leg goes but it looks like Barcelona's chances are very slim now even if they are still there.

[Luzin]

Atletico Madrid deservedly won and advanced to the final.

One leg of Atletico is already in the final, a 4-goal difference is a lot. I didn’t expect Atletico to be able to destroy Barcelona with these 4 goals. But I think Barcelona was really bad; they didn’t press much, and the distances between players were too far apart. This situation allowed Atletico to control the midfield. A crucial and funny moment happened when the referee took a very long time to check Pau Cubarsí's goal. This made Barcelona’s mentality even worse. The chances in leg 2 seem pretty difficult considering 4 goals is not an easy number to overcome. Barcelona will need to perform perfectly; maybe scoring early is the way to break Atletico’s mentality in the second leg. There’s a chance, but I also have doubts. ...

Atletico did not only fantasticlly win this Copa de Rey match but also gave Barcelona a good wipe in the asss. I am really amazed with the outcome of yesterday’s match at least for the Atletico guys. I least expected it and if there was going to be any bets placed by me for the course of this match, I will have actually played Barcelona to win and this’ll have meant lost of skates from my end because with this outcome, it would have been a disappointing bet. Although since I did not play the bet, I am excited for the Atletico Madrid guys to have successfully won the game yesterday with a great margin of four goals to none.

Hahahaha , so Barcelona lose to Atletico Madrid with 4 goals? And those four goals were scored in the first half of the game, what a game, I thought Barcelona fans said Lamin Yamal is the best player in the world? Why the best player did not have a single shot on target in the game, no goal and assist in the game, i said before that Raphina is the best player in Barcelona and he is very important to the team, all the big games Barcelona lost this season is due to the absence of Raphina but we can not use that as an excuse because many teams are also facing injury crisis.

Barcelona need to stop their pr, hyping their players whenever they are doing good is not bad but calling them the best players is not good, they are the ones who said Joan Garcia is better Courtios, Courtios can never swallow four goals in a simple way like that, some Barcelona fans still believe that they can do come back in the second leg at Camp Nou and I think that will be impossible, Atletico Madrid will never let that to happen.

Yes, this is Barcelona worst performance since suffering an 8-2 defeat vs Munich. This result was truly unexpected because previously Barcelona had always performed optimally, while Atletico Madrid performance was still unstable. I also don't think Barcelona is capable of a Remontada in the second leg due to the huge goal difference.
Even though Barcelona gave their all and the support of the fans who filled Camp Nou, a comeback is very difficult to do because I know Diego Simeone character very well, he will not let the big opportunity he has grasped slip away. Barcelona may win the second leg, but Atletico will advance to the final.

Congratulations are in order for them on advancing to the final after defeating Barcelona with a score of 4-0.
I think it's true that the result of the first leg won't make it easy for Barcelona to score 4 goals without reply because Atletico Madrid won't let that happen.

It's not about Barcelona's poor performance and mentality in this match that I want to highlight, but I believe that Lookman's presence in the Atletico Madrid squad feels different, and the Nigerian player brings a positive aura to the team.
One goal and one assist are enough for Ademola Lookman to prove that he was the right signing.

Even if Atletico madrid had won by 2 goals, barcelona would have had the chance to perform well at home and qualify for the final. But Barcelona lost the away match by a huge margin of 4-0 . It's a shame for Barcelona. I thought barcelona would win the copa del rey title. But this is no longer possible. Now barcelona have to give full effort in La Liga. They are only  1 point ahead of madrid. Barcelona will  also lose the top spot in La Liga if they can not continue their winning streak.

[harapan]

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.

When a player has freedom and in a total new environment,  this is how they perform. Lookman has just been with the club for good three games and he is already setting the fans on fire. The players did their role very well and I must give the necessary complement to the Atm manager. This will be his last season so he will ensure he leaves with something worth it. Apart from the Copa del rey I want him to win the Champions League competition this season

It's as if am still dreaming,I still can't believe we conceded 4 freaking goals in the first against Athletico de Madrid. Our defenders are just log of woods piled together, no wonder Balde hasn't been called up to the national team, that guy should be playing in Liga 2 or Barca B. I don't think there's any hope for us in the second leg because scoring 4 goals against Athletico de Madrid wont be easy. This is the worst performance of Barcelona ever.  I know we can beat them in our home but scoring 5 goals will take a miracle, if it was last season this had happened, I could still believe that we can make a comeback.

This is the semifinal. If Atletico Madrid win the second leg, or get a draw with less than 4 goals, or even lose by less than 4 goals, they will still make it to the final. If that should happen, they might meet Real Sociedad, because Bilbao were not even able to score in the first leg, which was a home game for them.

If Atletico Madrid make it to the final, you know for sure they will be the champions this season, as we all saw their performance yesterday. They looked stronger, although it might be because of the injuries. Let’s see how the second leg will turn out.

Besides Barcelona's defense being inadequate, I also saw Barcelona's attack lacking sharpness in that match, whether it was due to the absence of Raphinha due to injury, or because Barcelona's ball control was lacking in that match. And frankly, I was also very surprised by Barcelona's result in that match, as they lost so badly to Atletico Madrid, making it clear that the second leg will be quite difficult for Barcelona to turn things around, especially since several of their key players are still injured.
