La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Oluwa-btc]

I can't agree with you on this, because espanyol  that is playing against real Madrid today is not even a strong team at home, they lose almost as much as they win.  Therefore, the chance of real Madrid winning is not zero as you claim.

Real Madrid can still win today's game, but that won't stop Barcelona from lifting the La Liga title, i see the reason why almost everyone is saying that real Madrid won't be able to win espanyol tonight, Kylian Mbappe is not on the pitch today.  However, the absence of Kylian Mbappe won't stop real Madrid from winning espanyol tonight.

Real Madrid will want to win today's game, even though it doesn't mean they will stop Barcelona from being champions of the Spanish La Liga but a win for Real Madrid today will mean that Barcelona won't be celebrating early and Real Madrid won't be required to give FC Barcelona the guard of honour when they meet next weekend.
Also for their fans who are still supporting them they would want to win today's game.

Good win, the double from Vinicius Junior gave them the chance to pause Barcelona from celebrating already.

The El Classico would be blood and sand obviously but we all know who comes out victorious eventually. Barcelona will beat Real Madrid or they get to share the points. Another season to go trophy less, they better appoint a serial winner to take over as head manager or coach

[Agbamoni]

It will be a really deserving one for Barcelona, they have put in the work and I believe and expect a win from them in any of the next fixtures ahead and believing they will be able to lift the trophy already, Madrid will not be able to get any close even if they win all of the remaining games ahead.
Barcelona cannot loose that number of games moving forward and we can start congratulating them already, my wish for them is to aim at the champions league title next season, they have what it takes to getting it.

Real Madrid's big players, most especially Mbappe and Vinicius, will be very happy with the result tonight. If they lose against Espanyol, then they will be ready to give Barcelona the guard of honour next week in the El Clásico game coming up. This win has averted that from happening, and I think that's very good. Lack of a good manager is the reason why Real Madrid is not in the title race anymore. Next season, we hope to see better from them. If Barcelona wants to win the title again, then they have to work hard for it.

Real Madrid 2 Vs Espanyol 0 FT
Real Madrid delays Barcelona title win celebration, before this games kickoff, Barcelona were ahead with 13 points and a loss for Real Madrid would have sealed it for Barcelona but Real Madrids win tonight just delayed Barcelona La Liga season celebration. Next week is the show down between these 2 giants as Barcelona will host Real Madrid for the return leg of the league match. A win or draw for Barcelona means they will be celebrating the league trophy right after the game and it will be in front of Real Madrid players and few of their fans that will be traveling for the match, it will be somehow embarrassing to watch it live.

LoLz  They delay it but can't able to stop them from lifting the trophy. Barcelona are now is finger tip away for the crowns champions of La Liga. Barcelona is already 11 point ahead for the Meringue and it a big deal for the Real Madrid to chase them as well as El Classico is the way. So if we look at this point then definitely there is nothing remain for Barcelona to stop then from becoming champions like their is no more hurdleness for the Catalan side for being the crowns champions.....

El Classico will be paly on 11 may and definitely this will be the last breath for Real Madrid to make a hope for league title. However Hansi Flick is just waving for the match like prepared all of hso paly to utilize his ability and grab the La Liga title.

[Rgram]

Real Madrid won 2-0 away against Espanyol.
For Madrid, the title is still mathematically possible. However, since I think they will lose next week’s El Clasico, Barcelona are likely to celebrate the championship in front of their own fans and the Real Madrid players.
Barcelona only need 1 point to secure the title, so even a draw would be enough for them to become champions.

Real Madrid has become such a weak team that, having this level of certainty about them losing the El-Classico to Barcelona comes with a lot of confidence. These are the kind of games we did enjoy, having players back in the day that we wish to watch and hope they do something spectacular in the games but, that’s hardly the case as it is.

I do feel it would be a difficult game though and Real Madrid possibly wouldn’t be loosing this one. They lost the previous and it’s a chance for them to do what they would have liked other teams to do for them and that is, to beat Barcelona in the El-Classico.

There win today is one way to keep them in the right mindset towards the game, let’s see how they carry on.

[Slow death]

Today's results didn't surprise me.

Espanyol 0 - 2 Real Madrid

Betis 3 - 0 Oviedo

Getafe 2 - 0 Rayo Vallecano

Celta de Vigo 3 - 1 Elche

Speaking about Real Madrid's victory, even with all the injured players I saw, I had no doubt that Real Madrid would emerge victorious. This is because they wouldn't want to lose and give Barcelona the chance to celebrate winning the title early. So, with today's victory, the title will be decided in the game against Barcelona. Although, even if Barcelona loses against Real Madrid, they can still become champions if they win the game after Real Madrid. So it's an almost impossible mission to prevent Barcelona from winning the title.

[Popkon6]

Today's results didn't surprise me.

Espanyol 0 - 2 Real Madrid

Real Madrid thought the opposing team was very weak, but Espanyol kept trying with all their might on the field. There was a great competition between the two teams until half-time, but Real Madrid started attacking fully after half-time and was able to score two goals in a very short time. Vinicius Junior was able to score two goals in today's match due to the absence of Mbappe in the Real Madrid team. Vinicius Junior's performance in today's match was very different from other matches, and the attacks were so difficult that he was able to combine them with the magic of his feet.

[Iamgoat]

Good win, the double from Vinicius Junior gave them the chance to pause Barcelona from celebrating already.

All these goals and little achievements they are getting would have been better maximized by Alonso if he had stayed longer and got the kind of support he needed across all boards. Madrid would not have had the type of tough times it's currently facing in the league. It would have come easier than like this knowing how more professional or experience he is. But it was also so unfortunate since from this moment which Alonso started losing he could not control anything until the same thing consumed him.

So it's an almost impossible mission to prevent Barcelona from winning the title.

I don’t really know what Real Madrid was playing for in this particular game, I was seeing the urgency on them to beat Espanyol but the La Liga title is already lost, and I don’t know what Real Madrid was doing trying everything possible to beat Espanyol anyways I must say that it has been a waste of time from both teams, Real Madrid have lost the title to Barcelona, all what Barcelona have to do is get a draw in their next game in the El Clasico and that is the end of their adventure, I don’t really like Vini Jr he is such an arrogant player and the way he was celebrating was so fascinating to me like he just won the Champions League.

[Ale88]

Deschamps is leaving after the World Cup. Zidane is expected to be appointed for his place.

I hadn't heard about Zidane because he's in the running for the French national team job, and since Deschamps is leaving, I think Zidane will take it. That's what I know, but everything can change. The most important thing here is that he's the best and most suitable for the club. I don't know how Zidane will get along with this group; it's a tough group. That's why my first choice would be Klopp, and my second would be Mourinho.

Zidane has been waiting (and wanting) for years for the French National team. Now his time is finally coming. He already has reached a verbal agreement with the French Federation and I highly doubt he is going to change his mind now, it's just a matter of months now. Otherwise he would have gone back to Real Madrid after they fired Xabi Alonso.

Well, to be honest, yes, in the first half Madrid's performance was awful. Finally, in the second half, Vinicius reacted and started scoring goals. He really shouldn't be fighting; he should just focus on scoring goals. You could say they obviously avoided handing Barcelona a victory lap. Now, when they play against them, Madrid must win, otherwise they will suffer humiliation at the Camp Nou. It's truly imperative now to achieve this and delay Barcelona's celebration.

[Bitcoin_people]

It will be a really deserving one for Barcelona, they have put in the work and I believe and expect a win from them in any of the next fixtures ahead and believing they will be able to lift the trophy already, Madrid will not be able to get any close even if they win all of the remaining games ahead.

Next season, we hope to see better from them. If Barcelona wants to win the title again, then they have to work hard for it.

Among the good players of Real Madrid, Vinicius and Mbappe are in great form, but when these two players are present on the field, the pace of the game is different. We can see that when Mbappe is on the field, he does not want to work together but he wants to do everything alone which makes the team more unsuccessful. However, since Real Madrid won against Espanyol, it is good for them. However, if they want to win the next match, the EL Clásico match, they must play strongly, but which is very unlikely. It is almost impossible for Real Madrid to win against Barcelona this season. However, Real Madrid definitely needs a good manager who will take the team to a better position and we hope that next season, then Real Madrid will have the most competition for the title with Barcelona.

Yes, Real Madrid's victory in this match is quite good, because basically Real Madrid can win without conceding a single goal. So it was a really good match in my opinion. However,, I don't think a Real Madrid victory in this match will be able to significantly change the current situation because even if Real Madrid could win this match, they still have a very large points difference with Barcelona. So that's why I think Real Madrid currently has no great motivation to be able to chase the La Liga trophy.

Because basically,, there are only a few matches left, and clearly that makes it even more difficult for Real Madrid to catch Barcelona. So yes, currently Real Madrid is probably just playing football for fun. Besides, Mbappe didn't play in this match, and I think Real Madrid's performance has improved, so I don't know why that could happen. So from this perspective,, I can already assess what problems Real Madrid is currently facing.

Real Madrid won against Espanyol with a score of 2-0, and Vinicius was the hero of today's match because he scored the goal against Espanyol. While Espanyol was very unfortunate as the host, they couldn't win because Real Madrid has good strength. If you think about it, it's natural that Espanyol lost to Real Madrid because Real Madrid is certainly a strong team and has great players.

Real Madrid has now earned 3 points, but of course, this is a better thing than not getting 3 points. Now Real Madrid still has a large points difference with Barcelona, ​​and it seems that now all Real Madrid can do is not give up and continue playing well. Of course, even if they finish in second place, in my opinion, it's not a bad thing, because second place is also a better achievement than finishing below second place. Now I want to watch the El Clasico match immediately because it will definitely be very exciting and entertaining. Who do you think will win the El Clasico match?

El Clasico can not decide who the title winner will be,
Can't you see the points gap?

Barcelona clearly has a higher probability of winning the title Which is already about 80% sure, so it will take series of losses from Barcelona and series of winning from real Madrid to make Barcelona do not meet up, and we both know that's not happening.

El Clasico could determine the champion of this season, that is when Barcelona wins the match. Madrid is already 11 points behind Barcelona. Madrid can only aim to win the remaining matches, and Barcelona experiences bad luck in all the remaining matches. But if the opposite happens, Barcelona wins El Clasico, we could see Madrid's fate ended. Madrid fans must accept this.

Real Madrid 2 Vs Espanyol 0 FT
Real Madrid delays Barcelona title win celebration, before this games kickoff, Barcelona were ahead with 13 points and a loss for Real Madrid would have sealed it for Barcelona but Real Madrids win tonight just delayed Barcelona La Liga season celebration. Next week is the show down between these 2 giants as Barcelona will host Real Madrid for the return leg of the league match. A win or draw for Barcelona means they will be celebrating the league trophy right after the game and it will be in front of Real Madrid players and few of their fans that will be traveling for the match, it will be somehow embarrassing to watch it live.

Real Madrid win the game to not give Barcelona the guide honour during the El Classico and i like how they react in the second half of the game against Espanyol, the first half of the match was so boring because Real Madrid is playing like small club, i did not even understand their performance from the first but the second half was so good after Arbeloa made a great substitute by bringing in Gonzalo Garcia who stay in the box to create chances for Vini and other players.

We can hear from the commentators that Gonzalo is different from Mbape and that is why Vini score when Mbape is not playing, does that mean that Real Madrid play better without Mbape because people has been saying it that Real Madrid plays better without Mbape and since he came back from injury Real Madrid finds it difficult to win games and after he get injured again Real Madrid beat Espanyol, does that mean what people are saying about Mbape is true?

[YUriy1991]

What i always notice is that if Mbappe go to injury real madrid always get a win in the league competition and am thinking is that Mbappe is the problem of Real Madrid's or is the coach that don't know how to used the player in the pitch. Espanyol as lose three point against Real Madrid and that is a bad day for them Real Madrid will prepare for Barcelona next week and I madrid can get the chance to win Barcelona the competition as not ended and they won't give Barcelona the trophy in the camp nou they need to finish the league matches or of madrid lose any game ahead Barcelona will be the winner of the laliga tittle. Let watch how next week will goes and see who will be the winner.

Kylian Mbappe has scored numerous goals for Real Madrid in crucial matches. In La Liga, Kylian Mbappe has scored 55 goals for Real Madrid. However, the main problem in Real Madrid attack is that when Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé play together, it can confuse Real Madrid midfielders in passing the ball as the final executioner, as both are excellent strikers. However, if their defense focuses on only one player, Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham will focus on passing the ball to a single target. Mbappé actually excels playing on the left wing, his natural position at PSG and the French national team. However, at Real Madrid, he has had to shift because that position has been occupied by Vinicius Junior, which has also become a problem for him.

We can criticize Real Madrid now. But no victory is worthless. They have already lost the chance to win the trophy and now they are fighting to hold on to second place. Espanyol made several attacks to win the match early on but they were shooting at the wrong target. Real Madrid won but the match was not that impressive. Vinicius scored two goals which I think are worthless because they did not live up to their expectations in the league and Barcelona will take the trophy home unchallenged. El Clasico matches always give a different dimension and this match does not give me that impressive feeling. I think Barcelona will definitely win.

Mbappe is the most important striker in madrid's squad. There is no  way to deny it. He probably does not  have a good relationship  with his teammates. But he is madrid's best striker. Mbappe is also the top scorer in la liga. Mbappe is also  the top scorer in the champions league so far. He has also scored  15 goals in the champions league.

You are right that having Mbappe and vinicius in the squad at the same time makes it difficult for madrid's midfielders  to pass the ball. At the same time, the relationship between Vini and Mbappe is  probably not good. Both of them prioritize personal success. And this is one of the reasons for madrid's inconsistent performance. Mbappe was not in the  squad  yesterday. We saw Vinicius perform  well. He scored two goals.

[blue Snow]

I can't agree with you on this, because espanyol  that is playing against real Madrid today is not even a strong team at home, they lose almost as much as they win.  Therefore, the chance of real Madrid winning is not zero as you claim.

Real Madrid will want to win today's game, even though it doesn't mean they will stop Barcelona from being champions of the Spanish La Liga but a win for Real Madrid today will mean that Barcelona won't be celebrating early and Real Madrid won't be required to give FC Barcelona the guard of honour when they meet next weekend.

The El Classico would be blood and sand obviously but we all know who comes out victorious eventually. Barcelona will beat Real Madrid or they get to share the points. Another season to go trophy less, they better appoint a serial winner to take over as head manager or coach

Even though they won't win the title this season, Real Madrid at least managed to postpone Barcelona's title celebration last night by beating Espanyol. And it's likely Real Madrid won't let Barcelona celebrate in El Clasico, as it would be incredibly painful for them to see their arch-rivals celebrate in front of them. So, Real Madrid will be determined to win El Clasico to return postpone Barcelona's title celebration.

Real Madrid must make major changes next season and bring in a coach who can deliver trophies, as Real Madrid has gone two seasons without a trophy in a row.
