La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[GiftedMAN]

Real Madrid have competent players that had replaced Benzema, Kroos, and Modric. The problem they had was with the manager. Cabi Alonso failed to unite the players which led to the factionalization of the players. Performance began to decrease drastically. The new coach is trying to stabilise the club but it will take time to bring the club back to its former level. Maybe getting a more experienced coach at the end of the season will be the solution.

Everyone expected to see more from Xabi Alonso after his brilliant performance at Bayer Leverkusen but getting to the biggest stage of his career as a manager in the best team in the world he let his emotions spoil things for him as he couldn't manage the players instead he decided to give the team a negative energy since the players were almost divided in the team. Under the new manager the team is trying to unite again but it's going to task a while to achieve that and they still need more quality players to solidfy their defense.

ok they have talented players for sure but everyone is incredibly selfish. these names are supposedly the most sought after best players in the world, but they deliver zero results. The trio of Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappe is hurting the team with their selfishness. everyone is just looking out for their own stats...

This may not be far from the truth actually, I remember a time at PSG when they had almost all the most sorted after players, that season they could not win the UCL after all hopes where very high that they were going to win it at that time having all the top players in their team but then with Madrid I am believing it has become obvious they may have started to work on it do as to see a way out and build for the interest of the team which will indirectly benefit them and their career too.

in my opinion, Real Madrid is the greatest club in football history. however they haven’t been playing well for the past year. The departure of legendary figures like Benzema and Kroos and the fading roles of Modric and Ancelotti has left a void that hasn't been filled. meanwhile off field antics and on field attitudes of Mbappe and Vinicius have become a major distraction.

Real Madrid has competent players who have replaced Benzema, Kroos, and Modric. The problem they had was with the manager. Xabi Alonso failed to unite the players, which led to the factionalization of the players. Performance began to decrease drastically. The new coach is trying to stabilise the club but it will take time to bring the club back to its former level. Maybe getting a more experienced coach at the end of the season will be the solution.

How can you bring players who thinks they are bigger than you together, especially when the club is backing the shenanigans of those players who thinks they have achieved so much when in reality they haven't achieved anything. Xabi Alonso tried his best at Real Madrid to make things work, but those players who see them selves as untouchable were the ones that frustrated his efforts. I was hoping that as Xabi left his position as the coach of Madrid, that the club would be flying now and banging wins weeks in and out. Well let's hope and see that manager that will come in next season to fix the club.

It's important to understand that Real Madrid is the best football club of this century, with an incredible history of winning at every level of competition the club has competed in. Of course, this is a remarkable achievement, so every coach and player will feel the pressure of playing for Real Madrid. I think this is a normal phase in a clubs transformation. Real Madrid has been playing exceptionally well this season, and there was some internal friction that led to the departure of coach Xabi Alonso. which I think is normal, Madrid is still on a winning streak, they still have a chance to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, and they also have a very good chance of winning La Liga this season. Some fans only demand perfection. Unless Real Madrid is relegated or not in the Champions League. That's when Madridistas must respond decisively, but Madrid is currently on the track.

Barcelona hopes of seeing Real Madrid lose finally came true, and it gave them the chance to take over at the top of the table. The loss to Osasuna was very disappointing, and Real Madrid performance in the match was so poor, Arbeloa even seemed to lose his attacking strategy. The defense without Huijsen left many gaps that were easily penetrated, Arbeloa was late to enter Trent so that it was a factor in the lack of supply of the ball to the Osasuna defense. Now with this bad condition Madrid needs to be careful when later against Benfica.

Your claims about Xabi Alonso's inability to unite the team is unfounded and misleading, during the era of Zinedine Zidane and Carlo Ancelotti there were cases of factionalization amongst some players within the team though they were able to manage the situation effectively so that it doesn't affect the team's ambition. The current Real Madrid team has quite a number of high handed and very indisciplined players who don't respect the coach. Florentino Perez encourages them by not sanctioning anyone of them for any act of indiscipline but would rather fire a coach for losing to a Barcelona team that is performing more than his team this season.

Real Madrid are honestly unbelievable. They dominated the match but ended up with nothing.
They conceded in the final minutes and went home without any points.
You took over the top spot last week but couldn’t even hold it for a single week, giving Barcelona the opportunity to reclaim first place.
If Barcelona win tomorrow, they’ll sit at the top of the table again.

Real Madrid has actually played very well in the match against Osasuna. But they were unable to capitalize on numerous opportunities to score more goals. Real Madrid statistically dominated ball possession in the first half and even in the second half. I personally think that the 4-4-2 formation used by Real Madrid was not suitable for the match against Osasuna. Perhaps Real Madrid could have played better with the 4-3-3 formation they used previously against Osasuna in the first round of La Liga. However this result means that Real Madrid could easily be overtaken by Barcelona if Barcelona wins against Levante in tonight's match. And I'm sure Barcelona won't waste this opportunity to take the top spot in the standings. Barcelona's position as the home team will be advantageous for them to put pressure on Levante. And I predict that Barcelona will win this match.

Real madrid lost an opportunity to gain more points, although a lot of bettors and football fans already knew that they might not win the game due to some factors, their defense is poor and their attack as well is also not good enough. Barcelona has another chance to overtake real Madrid, perhaps all hope isn't lost for them to win the league, they have a high chance of winning cause they have home advantage.

A truly disappointing result for Madrid. A chance to maintain the point gap might slip away in the tight race with Barcelona. Madrid's performance seems to be having issues with ball distribution for finishing. They have the ball in midfield, but whether passed through the wings or directly breaking through to the opponent's defensive line, the ball can be intercepted or chances are lost due to poor finishing. This is a note that needs to be addressed quickly, considering Madrid has decent players in the attacking line, so what exactly is the problem?

I think the problem lies in Arbeloa's tactics, as if Arbeloa is incapable of making this team better, so I am not surprised by the disappointing results suffered by Real Madrid, and as long as Arbeloa remains their coach, I will be very pessimistic about Real Madrid being able to win the title this season.
However, the competition will still be fierce, and I'm a slight favorite for Barcelona to win the La Liga title this season.

I like the way the competition is going like this, as the points gap difference is always very small. Even if Barcelona wins today, the points difference will just be one or two points. And if they mess up in their match, they will still remain second on the table.however, I can’t say that Barcelona will try to mess up their upcoming match, as their aim is to top the table. But even if they top the table after today’s match, it is still very possible that Real Madrid can take over first place, because Barcelona can still drop points since they have a few tough matches to be played, just like Real Madrid.

So for now, I can say that between Real Madrid and Barcelona, it is hard to tell who the favorite is to win La Liga this season, as I feel both have the same chances of winning at this moment.Almost everyone was disappointed with Real Madrid because people were not expecting them to lose the game to Osasuna.

I do not like to make excuses for these teams, they lost to ossasuna when they would have utilized the opportunity but they failed to, a gold manager knows how to manage a situation, Realmadrid knows what was at stake in that match so I won't want to give in for any excuses of not having an excellent defense, for crying out loud this is Spanish laliga title, I expected more from such experienced team, there inconsistency made them to step down for Barcelona at first, they struggled, Barcelona created an opportunity for them after losing last week, so what is the excuse again, the defense that has been very difficult to fix right, I just hope Barcelona win today, this competition are kinda confusing this season, surprises are on rise in football space at moment.

who knows this loss is just a bump in the road before they bounce back! Still, conceding that late goal was truly disappointing for both the players and the fans. Despite dominating possession early on, Real Madrid struggled as the game went on and eventually paid the price. Osasuna registered a dramatic 2–1 win at Estadio El Sadar, ending Real Madrid's long winning streak and throwing the title race wide open. This defeat gives Barcelona a real chance to close the gap. If Barcelona beat Levante in their next match, they can fully capitalize on this slip-up.

It would be a mistake to think only about losing points as a result of this loss for Real Madrid. Their performance was not at all what we are used to seeing. Even if they played badly, they played in such a uncontrolled manner. Even their defense was a problem in this  match. And you are right that they have exploited the weakness created by the absence of Huijsen very well. Now we have to see how Real Madrid will turn around from now .

The way of defending was really poor by Real Madrid certainly! Courtois caused a penalty but made a crucial save in another moment as well. The defense players just performed badly.

The midfielders and forwards (except Mbappe) looked much more decent. But they were able to answer with only 1 goal anyway...

I don't feel like the title winner will be decided early this season. It could even get official on the final week who knows.

When I looked at the starting lineups before the match, it seemed to me that Arbeloa had chosen a pretty good squad, and that Real should have beaten Osasuna, but once again I lost my bet with Real. Carvajal was playing quite well, and after he was substituted and Alexander-Arnold came on, there were many more mistakes on the right flank. I don’t really understand why Real need Alexander-Arnold they should probably sell him, because he plays quite poorly, injured. Today I expect Barcelona to beat Levante.

[mandown]

Real Madrid weren't playing good football. They didn't play well yesterday either, conceding a goal in the 89th minute and losing 2-1 to Osasuna. Budimir may have had the best first half of his career. The referee initially showed Budimir a yellow card for diving to win a penalty, but VAR intervened and advised the referee to review the situation. The referee awarded a penalty, and Budimir capped his effective performance with a goal.

In the second half, Real Madrid equalized thanks to Vinicius' goal, a result of Valverde's individual effort.

Raul Garcia made it 2-1 in the 89th minute, but the assistant referee raised the offside flag. VAR allowed the goal, and Osasuna won 2-1.

If VAR hadn't been used, Osasuna would have lost the match yesterday.

Last week Barcelona lost against Girona and lost the top spot in the table. This season, there is a chance to regain the top spot in the table. Real Madrid lost against osasuna. Barcelona will face levante shortly after. Barcelona lost against girona in the last match. Even so, I believe that Barcelona will not make any mistakes in  today's home match against levante. Levante is also a weak opponent. So Barcelona will try to win by a big margin at Camp nou today.

How can you bring players who thinks they are bigger than you together, especially when the club is backing the shenanigans of those players who thinks they have achieved so much when in reality they haven't achieved anything. Xabi Alonso tried his best at Real Madrid to make things work, but those players who see them selves as untouchable were the ones that frustrated his efforts. I was hoping that as Xabi left his position as the coach of Madrid, that the club would be flying now and banging wins weeks in and out. Well let's hope and see that manager that will come in next season to fix the club.

Real Madrid is a big club, the players have 50% decision on what happens in the dressing room, while the manager has the other 50% decision to make. It is true that Xabi Alonso went through a lot as a manager in Real Madrid, words were hard to say since it would harm his managerial career.

My pity goes out to any manager who will sign a permanent deal with this set of players. Their discipline is elevated when they win games. When they lose, you see the beast in them.

[Luzin]

So Barcelona will try to win by a big margin at Camp nou today.

This is what I said was similar to last season. Unpredictable things make it even harder for Madrid. Madrid should have won to be safe, but they lost, and surely they will drop back to number 2. Barcelona will only play against Levante, and at the moment they are leading by 1 goal. The difference isn’t that much, but if Barcelona continues to be consistent, this is a big loss for Madrid. Another advantage for Barcelona is that they are more stable than Madrid. Madrid is still going through changes that haven’t ended yet, and we can see the results now—they are up and down like a roller coaster.

Real Madrid has competent players who have replaced Benzema, Kroos, and Modric. The problem they had was with the manager. Xabi Alonso failed to unite the players, which led to the factionalization of the players. Performance began to decrease drastically. The new coach is trying to stabilise the club but it will take time to bring the club back to its former level. Maybe getting a more experienced coach at the end of the season will be the solution.

Of course, next season, Real Madrid will bring in an experienced coach who can deliver titles. That's why Arbeloa has only been appointed as interim coach, with his duties until the end of the season. Next season, in addition to bringing in an experienced coach, Real Madrid must also bring in a creative midfielder, as their current midfield isn't quite capable of fulfilling the role they did during the Kroos and Modric eras. If Real Madrid can bring in both an experienced coach and a creative midfielder next season, then I'm confident Real Madrid will perform impressively in La Liga and the Champions League, winning trophies.
