La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[giorgione]

I also agree that currently, Real Madrid players seem to lack passion when playing on the field. I also don't know why something like this could happen to Real Madrid players. In fact, if we think about it, playing for Real Madrid is full of loyalty because the training facilities there are very good, and they are also paid a fairly large amount, and they are also very popular. So what is lacking in all of that? The point is, Real Madrid players clearly have to play with a burning passion.

Because Real Madrid has given them everything they want, so they should repay all of that by playing well. But right now, I also don't understand why Real Madrid players can be like this. So, this is clearly very worrying, because basically, if it continues like this, Real Madrid will not be able to compete well again. So, Real Madrid seems to be able to build the spirit of its current players so that their performance can be even better.

exactly, it is precisely passion that is missing from these players, once upon a time playing for Real Madrid was a privilege for a few, but now they pass it off as if it were a very normal thing, clearly there are doubts about the reconfirmations of some players, who don't really seem to be able to handle the Real Madrid shirt

That's why Flick was going in all on La Liga by playing his important player full time. It's what we called "Realistic".

I don't think that Barcelona's chances of beating Atlerico Madrid and making a comeback are actually that slim, yes it's true that in the first leg they took a big beating that no one expected but i have to say that they are very strong and can easily turn the situation around with little.

[Mayor of ogba]

Their chance of beating Atletico Madrid in a home away match is small especially after Barcelona used their best players in the last weekend while oppositely Atletico Madrid only used their alternative players for the La Liga match and fully prepared for the match in Champions League with Barcelona.

Barcelona players are tired while Atletico Madrid players are very well in fitness and fully charged for the important match. The task for Barcelona players is not only beating Atletico Madrid but also winning against Atletico Madrid with at least two-goal difference. It's not easy to beat the opponent that is ready in fitness and will play very defensively at their home stadium, so Barcelona have very high risk of ending their season after this match.

Let's say that this match isn't exactly easy for Barcelona, however i wouldn't take Atletico's victory for granted, at any moment Barcelona can do badly and turn the match around in ways we don't expect. So i wouldn't celebrate before the final whistle.

I was so disappointed with Barcelona's result against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League because I never expected Atletico Madrid to win Barcelona at Camp Non. Atletico Madrid didn't only won Barcelona but they won Barcelona 0-2 away from home, which I believe it will be difficult for Barcelona to turn things around in the second leg. I am not seeing Barcelona reaching semi final but if they surprise me and turn things around tomorrow, I will be happy for them because I really want Barcelona to be among the last four teams that will play in the next round of the Champions League.

I would say it is still possible for Barcelona. I hope you have seen the match between Barcelona and atletico madrid in the Copa del Rey. Barcelona lost the first leg by a huge margin of 4-0. But they won the second leg 3-0 . They may have lost. But I saw that Atletico Madrid played badly defensively but Barcelona managed to score 3 goals. So even if barcelona lost the champions league match 2-0, they still have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals. I am sure that Atletico madrid will lose the second leg.

For those that remember the cup game that Barcelona lost to atl madrid even though that's different from the UCL you would still expect a little bit of a challenge. I had an idea that Barcelona might not win that game but I thought that the worst could happen is a draw but unfortunately they lost the game.

[pewboy]

At this stage, I’m already writing off Barça as champions. Although it wouldn’t be impossible for Madrid to stage a comeback, with nine games remaining and following their last two blunders against Mallorca and Girona, I don’t see them doing so. In the next round, both Madrid and Barcelona have easy matches, so the gap is likely to remain the same, and there will be just one game less before the league ends (6 in total).

I don't think it's over, or rather, Real Madrid is a team that on paper could easily win and do well, both in the championship and in Europe, clearly this was a job that needed to be undertaken before, now i think it's perhaps already too late for an extreme recovery, but in any case they had their chances that they didn't exploit!

[execijutiere]

Osasuna drew with Real Betis at home. Since both teams had their own goals, they both wanted to win this match but were unable to do so. Osasuna aims to finish in the top six, while Real Betis needs points to maintain its position in the standings.
Things are heating up in the relegation zone. It’s still unclear who will go down and who will stay up, and there’s a fierce battle as the final weeks approach. Mallorca secured a crucial 3-0 home win against Vallecano, raising their points total to 34. Without Vedat Muriqi, Mallorca might have already been relegated.

True, Barcelona inexplicably did not want to rotate with the less valuable players.
It doesn't make sense given that he has a lot of advantage with Real Madrid, to me it honestly seems like a really stupid, meaningless choice.

Perhaps Flick has been drinking these days and over the weekend.

If we're talking about their performance as a team and not the financial benefits they receive, then i agree. Real Madrid guarantees them elite standards through many state-of-the-art facilities, so the problem isn't financial at all. i think it's more that they had so many successes last season and now lack the drive to maintain their will to win. i think they should work more on the players' qualities to make them feel comfortable, rather than just focusing on tactics.

Star boy of Madrid is really going through a lot this season....He really has been getting back to back injury this season, from knee injury to this current facial injury.. He missed his training, hope he will be available for other subsequent matches like the one they have with Bayern on wednesday and then with Alaves by next week since the injury isn't all that serious... Madrid's are almost at the verge of elimination from UCL and they seem to be really dipping in points in La-Liga, and so Mbappe of all players isn't meant to be missing matches at this very point in time...

It's a pity that this is happening to them at this point when they need all their star players to be fully fit for the second leg against Bayern Munich. Luckily for the player, it's a facial injury so it won't hinder him from ficking the ball, the could be given some medications to ease the pain the put on mask for the Champions League game.

 However, Real Madrid should channel all their attention to the second leg against Bayern Munich, it's not going to be easy but there's hope. A,comeback is very possible and they can work hard to achieve it.

[kennycryptoitalia]

Real Madrid has a lot of problems. Their main problem is not having an experienced manager. An experienced manager is very necessary  to manage a squad like madrid. arbelona is an inexperienced manager. And this is one of the reasons for madrid's poor performance.
The bonding between madrid's players is very weak. Especially Mbappe and Vini are kinda  selfish. They are very eager to score goals but not to assist. And this is also one of  the reasons for madrid's irregular performance. If the understanding  between the players is not good, it is not possible to keep the performance  stable in the long run.

For me Real Madrid is a great team and this is an excellent starting point for any team, i must say that Mbappe and Vini are a bit selfish but because they know that they are the best, in certain cases they should have the opportunity to make themselves more available to the team and try to be more humble, this is the most important thing.

Barcelona can certainly still stage a comeback, as their players are capable enough to do so. It depends on how things play out on the pitch and Hansi Flick tactics. Simeone clearly doesn't want to risk playing openly. Atletico Madrid will certainly be cautious and focus on defense rather than leaving too many gaps that Barcelona players can exploit.

[Volgastallion]

So Barcelona have now the LaLiga tournament in their hands after the Real Madrid drops points again, Barcelona put some of their regulars despite they have a hard game ahead for the Champions League comeback against Atletico madrid, i dont judge them since with the win they made a big step towards the title but i feel like they took a big risk doing it.

There is still a difficult possibility, arduous at times almost unthinkable, but it is still possible.
Could they really put on a show? It might be the right opportunity to see them in all their power (conditions permitting).
Hard to predict, I just hope to see a good match, I'd like to risk it on Barcelona's victory (I'd like to believe it).

[cande86]

Yes, you're absolutely right. I don't know what's wrong with Real Madrid. Besides, I think Arbeloa, although not yet the right fit, isn't the right player. I think the players aren't going out there with the desire to play; they lack passion and commitment. It's not just Arbeloa's fault; it's the players' fault. They have to go out and play with everything they have. I mean, they're at Real Madrid, it's the dream team for most people, and playing the way they are is a total insult.

the players are going through a deep crisis, i understand that there are cases in which agreements cannot be reached to play in peace but there are things that they have to evaluate, and if necessary, replace these players, however the personality they have shown in the champions is the one they must always have if they want to win.

[hyudien]

..

I don’t know what Arbeloa has achieved since after Xabi left, that you think if Xabi was still at Real Madrid, he wouldn’t have achieved. Real Madrid’s performance has dropped since when Ancelotti left, as they are now just counting losses instead of going further. Even this season, the story is still the same, as they will likely finish the season without a single trophy. So, to me, I will also say Arbeloa has not achieved anything yet.

I know Arbeloa hasn't achieved anything so far, but I'm assuming that if Xabi were still at Madrid, they wouldn't be competing as closely with Barcelona as they are with Arbeloa, as we see them today. Why? The problem isn't Xabi ability itself, but rather Madrid management, which was more supportive of the players when the rift between him and the players occurred at that time, this is the crux of the problem, and that's why I say this. Simply put, Xabi had the ability, and without Perez full support, the team fell apart and couldn't possibly produce anything under those conditions.
Arbeloa was quite capable of controlling the dressing room, bringing the team back into contention with a glimmer of hope, but his untested and mediocre abilities made it equally impossible to produce anything. So, the fault lies in Madrid management taking the wrong action at that time.

Hard to predict, I just hope to see a good match, I'd like to risk it on Barcelona's victory (I'd like to believe it).

In my view if you bet on Barcelona in my opinion the risk is big, the facts on the field we can see this season I see Barcelona are not performing well.

I am a little doubtful about Barcelona qualifying for the Champions League final, due to several factors, many football fans, especially in the Spanish League, think the Barcelona team is weak, this is not without reason, as we know in general, changes in the team's attitude, as well as Barcelona's way of bad recruitment and other reasons, so there are many things that need to be considered, if we want to bet on Barcelona.

Yeah, Barcelona was looking a bit weaker with the way they were missing Raphinha and some other players, but they did not have any issues and managed to get a win.

UCL looks lot different though, looks like they are having some trouble when facing Atletico Madrid, we have seen it before this season, they lost 4-0 to them at the cup game, while the next game they got 3-0 that was not enough. So we have seen Atletico Madrid defeat and knock out Barcelona before and could happen the same here too.

[Swordsoffreedom]

For those that remember the cup game that Barcelona lost to atl madrid even though that's different from the UCL you would still expect a little bit of a challenge. I had an idea that Barcelona might not win that game but I thought that the worst could happen is a draw but unfortunately they lost the game.

This result was not expected by anyone. Barcelona were the favourites in the match. We also thought they would win or the  match would be a draw. But barcelona lost the match and conceded 2  goals.

There is still a possibility for Barcelona to make a comeback. But it is very difficult. Anyway, Barcelona has the ability. Barcelona's squad is very strong. Even though atletico madrid plays defensively, Barca  players have the ability to break their defense. We have  seen this in the Copa del Rey match. So even after winning by 2  goals, Atletico madrid is not safe. If they make any mistake  in the second leg, barcelona will qualify for the semi-finals. Atletico will have to  perform very carefully in the second leg as well.
