La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

I have heard something like Real Madrid team doctors examined the wrong knee and Mbappe continued to play like nothing was wrong. This lasted for a couple of months.

If this is really true then it's quite unbelievable that the doctors of one of the biggest teams in the world can make such a crucial mistake.

Thankfully Mbappe is back in action again now after some injury period.

If Mbappe continues scoring at this pace, it looks like he might surpass Messi and Ronaldo. He has maintained a goal average of 0.75 across 567 matches in his career. He is currently playing his 10th full season. If he maintains this same average until the age of 37, he will reach approximately 825 goals.

I would advise against comparing Mbappe to Messi and Ronaldo. The number of goals is not the main success of a player's career, but how much he has achieved for his team and for himself is important. Even how much he has helped others to score goals is important. Although Mbappe is a good player for the national team, his achievements in club football are lacking. He has not yet been able to qualify to be compared to Messi and Ronaldo. Even if his future days will be spent in that way, there is no guarantee.

Despite Kylian Mbappé's injury, Real Madrid managed to maintain their points difference. They also won both matches against Manchester City, advancing in the Champions League. Therefore, it's fair to say that Real Madrid hasn't been affected by injuries and is having a successful period. Now Real Madrid will be waiting for Barcelona to drop points. I think they are doing their best at this stage.

Real Madrid faced two tough teams in their last two encounters, they defeated Manchester City in the champions league and also beat Atletico Madrid in La Liga which was an impressive performance. We the Real Madrid players injured I was thinking that it would make Arbeloa more confusing to drop points but it's now that they're showing more improvements in their games, I know must people doesn't like Arbeloa but to be honest he's doing a great work to move this team forward.

Arbeloa should focus on doing his job and pay less attention to people that like him and people that doesn’t like him. If the result keeps going in their way, those that don’t like him will have no option than to like him. He was employed to get the club good results and trophies and not to make people like him. No matter how good a manager is, there will always be people that will criticize him for the little things he won’t do right. His focus should be on how to make the job permanent, and that will only come if the results keeps favoring them.

The fact that Atlético managed to beat Barcelona in the first cup match, I think is more of an exception than the rule. It was a cup game, where Flick gives playing time to some bench players. In La Liga, everything is much more serious, and it’s important for Barcelona to maintain that 4 point gap. Real Madrid have started playing very well lately, and letting them get too close would be unwise.

Barcelona performed very badly in the first leg of the Copa del rey. But in the second leg match, we saw Barcelona's comeback. Barcelona is in very good form. And they have a high chance of winning against Atletico Madrid.

Every match in La Liga is very important for Barcelona. If they cannot continue their winning streak, they may lose the top spot in the table. So they will try their best to win this match against Atletico Madrid. But the match is Atletico Madrid's home match. Atletico Madrid is always strong at home. Undoubtedly, it is going to be very difficult for Barcelona to secure a victory in this match.

Definitely Barcelona was too bad. In first leg of the Copa del Rey, they ended up with a big loss, despite the fact that in the second leg Barcelona was absolutely phenomenal, like they dominated the whole match with a pretty awesome performance like they were fully dominant, and they were even too close to made a comeback but unfortunately due to lack of finishing, they couldn't find a 4th goal but anyway still it will be remember as one of the best match of the season. In first leg Hansi Flick try to rotate his player like he made some new changes in a defensive line, and i that's why they conceded 4 goals.....

No doubt every match is really important for the Catalan side because their point difference with a second competitor is not too big and definitely little mistake can cause a trouble for them. Atlatico Madrid will be a hard tussle for then but to be honest I don't think that they can stop them form victory because Barcelona are now unstoppable force.

[Dzwaafu11]

That's how it is for now, but we don't know what will happen in the future. That's why Real Madrid feels the lack of an experienced manager. They need an experienced manager, at least one with a career like Ancelotti. A long-term agreement with Arbeloa doesn't seem logical to me. It's true they haven't lost points during this period, but they have lost points in easier matches. Therefore, I don't see him as suitable as a long-term manager.

It's very true that Real Madrid really need an experience manager, a team as Real Madrid need someone that can manage those players properly, they're stars already but need someone to keep them going on the right track by working  together as a team. Although Arbeloa might not be the desired option but if he can succeed in winning the Champions League then there's chances that he'll end up being a permanent manager by summer.

The champions league is a very tough competition, yet Arbeloa is still doing everything to see that he succeed in their matches, I feel like Arbeloa is doing fine in this period, because for him to be able to be beating tough clubs that Real Madrid were suffering all this while, is another thing to consider that his doing well.

Although he haven’t take much time managing Real Madrid, we can’t really say anything or say Arbeloa is the one that suit Real Madrid, let’s more winning from him, or even secure a trophy whether La Liga or champions league, I’ll believe he’s good to manage Real Madrid for another season.

That is a ridiculous reason if it really happened like that, imagine the salary of doctors in the team must be expensive and professional, unfortunately they were negligent and did not see such indications, the problem is that if once or twice it is very reasonable like humans who are not free from mistakes but if it's a month, I think what is going on here are they lazy to work?

Thankfully if Mbappe does get back on the pitch, it will add strength to the front line in important champions league matches or league matches that are almost over.

So the injured player [Mbappe], was unconscious while they were doing the test or he got confused on which leg was actually hurting him, all this news gets me surprise and I just can't shake the feeling that Real Madrid are doing something suspicious, we just have to wait and see. He might still be going through that malicious treatment, hope he doesn't destroy his career because of this.

We’ll see—Álvaro Arbeloa needs time to prove whether he’s the right choice for the next couple of years or not. For now, I think he’s doing fine. I would rather blame Pérez for the inadequate squad improvements than anything else. They simply didn’t have a good transfer season this year, and you can see the effects as the football calendar progresses. Definitely, the first issue is the weakness in defense—it’s almost non-existent. The only positive players are Rüdiger and Courtois, and they’ve been here for years—that says it all.

I don't believe that, Real Madrid is one of the best club that doesn't play around with the welfare of their players. What are they going to get by employing fake doctors that can make such mistakes? What I read online was as a result of his not responding quickly to treatment and probably he was already use to a physician in PSG, they were responsible for the beginning of the injury that's why he was recommended to travel to France for the treatment.

I'm sure even the ones here can do it properly but a doctor that started treatment will do a better job than another person that accept to collect the work later. Who knows if the club interests has change and they probably don't want to give him full attention due to the wah he exited PSG during his time over there, so it's possible who we can't tell but I don't take speculations of players that serious. Some are made up to clicks and ragebait.

Arbeloa should now serve his strategies beautifully for Real Madrid. Instead of listening to others, he should lead the team according to his own experience, then if he brings good results, everyone will stop criticizing him. No matter how good a coach is, if he fails to win trophies for the team, he is not valued much, so since Arbeloa has started to bring good results for the Madrid team, it is definitely a positive point for him. The way Arbeloa has currently managed the Madrid team, he certainly has the ability to be permanent, and if he is in good shape this season, his value will definitely increase later.

I would say that they have done well enough, doesn't mean they weren't worse, they were still worse without him, but they did get him back midway through that period, he is not still injured.

I mean he did play in the Atletico Madrid game, if I am not going crazy, and he did get in at City game late in the game as well. So not like they missed him for that long, and when he was out they did lose points too if I am not wrong. So all in this category I would say that he still matters a lot.

If you watch some of the game Real Madrid won to keep maintaining second position in the laLiga league you will know that Mbappe help the club to remain strong to continue to create fear to Barcelona. We all know that Barcelona are the one leading the laLiga league tournament and they have the ability to lift this trophy, because they have potential players that will make it happen for the favour of Barcelona.

Is like you don't know how social media work to destroy someone image, which is what Real Madrid doctor enemy is trying to turn the matter to become they know that Mbappe will surely be part of the players that their next game and also play champion league game. Real Madrid will not going to win this champion league trophy, because there are some clubs that will not allow Real Madrid to do what they did to Manchester city.

Even though Arbeloa guide Real Madrid to the La Liga title and the Champions League title this season, there are some persons who won't still like him, so I totally agree with you that Arbeloa should focus on doing the job him for hired for at Real Madrid to ensure good results for Real Madrid. Real Madrid management can't give Arbeloa a permanent contract because he isn't yet good enough to manage Real Madrid on a permanent basis.

Wait, did you say Arbeloa doesn't have much time managing Real Madrid? Check again, Arbeloa has been with Real Madrid all his life. He as been with the club for 6 years but he was coaching under 19 Real Madrid players and was sometimes involved in critical decision of Real Madrid professional team, this was why they employed him to take over Real Madrid pro and so far, he is doing well in my opinion, despite the set backs the performance is fair and better than Xabi.

There is much to be done honestly, even if there is nothing the team are able to bring to the table by the end of the season, he ha done his bet. He didn't start the team and will not take accountability for not winning because everyone knows what he has done even as the season isn't over yet. When it comes to tactics, give him 100% about that, he has the experience more than what I thought initially when I wan told he was coming to the team.

Haha that super Harlious...!!!
Where did you get this... I mean, it's so funny, like their doctor didn't even know that Kylian Mbappe has an injury in his left knee, and even they treated his right knee instead of left. I don't know how the one of the most prestigious club doctors is just behaving so foolishly, like I am unable to understand that how does this happen.....

But anyway still it's okay....here let me tell you something that only one argument can make the dispute strong. Like after the recovery, Kylian Mbappe didn't play the match although he trained with other player and after that he visited France to meet with his own country doctor to make a better plan for his healing, like to get recovered as soon as possible.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I am guessing that it will be quite different in the champions league and even their next meeting in the championship will not be such that is going to be easy, I know Atletico is not a weak side and they have the experience around Barcelona but what I do believe is that Barcelona will still find a way not to allow Atletico deny them of all the points both in their domestic and and even in the champions league, all of their meetings will be such that Barcelona will win some and probably draw the others and at most a loss or two.

The fact that Atlético managed to beat Barcelona in the first cup match, I think is more of an exception than the rule. It was a cup game, where Flick gives playing time to some bench players. In La Liga, everything is much more serious, and it’s important for Barcelona to maintain that 4 point gap. Real Madrid have started playing very well lately, and letting them get too close would be unwise.

It will be a busy 2 weeks for Barcelona and Atletico because 3 matches with only a break of at least 10 days is definitely not a situation that is too expected because it is certain that in these 3 matches they will play with everything at stake especially the 2 Champions League legs are clearly important and for the continuation of La Liga, Barcelona also does not expect them to lose because this could make Madrid have a greater potential to catch up.

Simeone and Flick must really have the best strategy because it is not only about the results but also in terms of fatigue these players also have great potential so these 3 matches will be interesting.
Atletico are always different when facing big clubs but for now they are still quite weak in terms of defense when they try to keep up with the game at a fast tempo and this must be solved by Simeone before they play Barcelona.

[Jegileman]

I would advise against comparing Mbappe to Messi and Ronaldo. The number of goals is not the main success of a player's career, but how much he has achieved for his team and for himself is important. Even how much he has helped others to score goals is important. Although Mbappe is a good player for the national team, his achievements in club football are lacking. He has not yet been able to qualify to be compared to Messi and Ronaldo. Even if his future days will be spent in that way, there is no guarantee.

When Messi and Ronaldo where at the same age and stage Mbappe is now, I think their stats where doing much better than he’s doing now. Then Messi and Ronaldo era lasted for so long that no any new era was able to overthrown them so easily until they left football in Europe and went to play in other leagues. Despite that, when it comes to the national football, they’re still players their teams have hope on to make them successful more in their matches. I feel Mbappe is still coming up and yet to reach their level yet but with much consistency he can reach and achieve that height in football. Mbappe is doing well, but he needs to do better to stand a chance to be compared to world class players like Messi and Ronaldo.

That’s strange and the again, what does that tell us about the player?

Having an injury on one knee and yet, don’t point the doctors to the right knee affected… it’s a little sketchy and unsettling, something I don’t think might be true.

I would advise against comparing Mbappe to Messi and Ronaldo. The number of goals is not the main success of a player's career, but how much he has achieved for his team and for himself is important.

There is no line that could be drawn for these two as against the talents we have now in football. It just wouldn’t go, there exist some fine lines that remains very visible as Ronaldo and Messi were in a league of their own.

Mbappe is doing things in his own way and since it's working for him, he should be steadfast and try to help his team to win many trophies. Mbappe came to a competitive league that has two loggerhead teams namely, Real Madrid and Barcelona so it will take him time to build a legacy that will help him achieve either of Cristiano Ronaldo's record or Messi's record if at all him will be able to get their achievements. Messi and Ronaldo's era is not yet over until they retire because despite that they went to non-popular leagues, they haven't lost their crown as they have become major figures over there. Mbappe's style of play may not really get him many achievements like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo because he is not conversant with some skillful display as all he knows how to do most is to score.

Arbeloa should focus on doing his job and pay less attention to people that like him and people that doesn’t like him. If the result keeps going in their way, those that don’t like him will have no option than to like him. He was employed to get the club good results and trophies and not to make people like him. No matter how good a manager is, there will always be people that will criticize him for the little things he won’t do right. His focus should be on how to make the job permanent, and that will only come if the results keeps favoring them.

The way Arbeloa has currently managed the Madrid team, he certainly has the ability to be permanent, and if he is in good shape this season, his value will definitely increase later.

Alvaro Arbeloa is an experienced coach who will be able to take the Real Madrid team to a higher level, in the current situation he is an experienced coach who has proven himself in terms of winning the Real Madrid team. At the moment, the Real Madrid team is winning consistently in their performance, but the entire credit for this is Alvaro Arbeloa, since he took charge of the Real Madrid team, he has been working hard and teaching the players advanced techniques.
So, he is definitely likely to serve as the coach permanently by his performance.
