La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Nwadiche]

a team that has focused and and they are very strong in the pitch has nothing to worry about a red card and this has indicated that Real Madrid and Manchester United will not go far in this season. Real Madrid took second position in the 2025/2026 season and Manchester United took third in Premier League. But in this season none of those teams will go near those their previous positions. I was really disappointed by Real Madrid yesterday. They made me to lost $15.

That real Madrid isn't on their best form i agreed with based on their performance and conceding goals, but i disagree with you that they won't be on the position where they finished last season then you got it wrong. Let me tell you what you're meant to know, even if real Madrid is not inform there's always a possibility for them being in top four because apart from Barcelona, real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and sevilla although sevilla is not inform unlike before tell me laliga clubs that always make top four that real Madrid isn't among. Now I've seen where you're pointing out, because you lose $15 that's why you sounded this way on Madrid? Real Madrid problem is coach changing and changing of coach is affecting many top clubs today unlike Chelsea, man utd even it's affecting Liverpool right but assuring you that real Madrid will still turn up.

The referee's performance was terrible. Arda almost broke his leg in the first half. Looking at the referee's performance, much better referees should be assigned to matches like this. Such poor officiating overshadowed one of La Liga's most exciting matches. There are better referees in Spain, but this one was one of the worst, giving Real Madrid the right to complain. Mourinho also mentioned this in the press conference.

Honestly, I'm not happy with the referee that officiated the game because he wasn't professional enough and that he has given Mourinho the opportunity of not accepting his defeat and put the blame on the referee for their defeat which I can understand. However, I am totally disappointed with Real Madrid performance in that match.

Real Madrid needs some time to regain its old form. Every team can experience some undesirable results in their first matches after a change of manager. Real Madrid may still not have fully adapted to Jose Mourinho's style. I believe they will gradually improve. Real Madrid's squad was very good under Jose Mourinho, but so far, they haven't been able to get the performance they deserve from their players. Atletico Madrid took advantage of this and won this match. I think these results are temporary and Real Madrid will have better matches in the future.

[Tamaperdana]

it's like Real Madrid is actively trying to find the ultimate combination for failure. it feels like they’re spending extra hours just to figure out the exact position where each player will be the most ineffective 
and as soon as they spot someone actually playing well during a match, they substitute them off immediately.

This sounds really like a savage but when you come to think of what’s happening with Real Madrid now, it really seems like so. Out on earth will a club like Madrid miss 2 matches already out of just 7 games they’ve play so far. Whereas the likes of Barcelona have remained unbeaten so far. Unless something magical should happen, I’m not expecting them to be competitive for the first position of the table standing at this juncture. Hence why despite your savagery, it is still kind of justifiable.

Let's say the Atletico Madrid away game was tough and they got a red card and lost. They wouldn't be able to find a word to explain the other game they lost. Real Madrid seems likely to be eliminated early this season because their rival Barcelona has scored 31 goals in 7 matches and is dominating everyone, while Real has lost 2 games. A 6-point gap will be difficult to close now because Barcelona doesn't seem likely to drop any points.

Real Madrid's defeat to Atletico was certainly a surprise to me, because with this, it was certain that Barcelona would truly dominate La Liga. So it clearly made me happy and confused at the same time. Because on the one hand, I am a Barcelona supporter, and I really hope Barcelona wins this season. But on the other hand, if Real Madrid's performance is bad like this, the competition in La Liga will clearly be less exciting. So yes, what can be done, Real Madrid's performance seems very difficult to be helped at this time. Because their performance is not getting better, but instead is stagnant and even regressing. So this is quite disappointing even though I am not a Real Madrid fan. So with this, I think Real Madrid is probably really down, because they had hoped to be able to continue winning in La Liga and become champions here. But currently, they are six points behind the number one team, Barcelona. And that's clearly not easy to catch, especially since Barcelona always wins. So,, we'll just have to see what happens after this.

Here we go again Jose is making another complaint to the referee during the clash between his club vs Atletico. I'm not saying he's entirely wrong, and i believe Romero also deseved at least a yellow card, but i think his complain still pointless when his club play like mediocre club, and still deserve the lost.
Instead of still complaining about the result that will never able to be changed, why doesn't he just focus on fixing his stellar team? there are so many home works he needs to solve it asap becaus ethe international break will let him to get some times to fix it.

Dude has to stop to behave like he's a real loser. he has to comeback stronger like a man. Wasting your time just to complaint here and there won't change the outcome. I hope someone in Madrid tells him about that.

There's nothing his complaints can change again and besides in LaLiga Real Madrid has been the most favored team by the referees. So i don't know why Jose Mourinho is complaining now when he knows the root problem of his team. Yes the referee was really biased in that match but that isn't what Mourinho should be talking about. He needs to stand up and fix his team because everything they were saying about him that he would fix the team hasn't been effective. Honestly to me Mourinho is still using the Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso pattern and I expected him to create competition between the players, but he hasn't. He's just using the names of big players as his starting eleven, which is not supposed to be like that.

No one can say yet where Real Madrid will be in the points table this season. Because Real Madrid's bad situation has been going on for a long time. But yes, they need a lot of time to improve and if we see a trend of improvement in their mid-season situation, then we will definitely see something good from them and hopefully they will fight for the title.

I do not agree with you that Real Madrid's situation has been created due to the change of coach. Because we have been seeing Real Madrid's bad situation since before Mourinho joined Real Madrid. They are responsible for Real Madrid's bad situation because they do not have a good relationship.

Real Madrid really messed up yesterday because I never believed they will loss to mediocre team like Atletico Madrid who barely perform when necessary, the worst result I was expecting from Real Madrid was a draw but it is so sad that they could not win Atletico Madrid. But I disagree with you, the fact that they didn't win Atletico Madrid doesn't mean they won't perform well in their subsequent matches likewise Manchester united, they will do better but we don't know when. However, the way the league is going it is becoming obvious that Barcelona will win the league again this season.

It is funny of you to call Athletico Madrid a mediocre club after seeing the level of performance that they have been dropping particularly when they play with big clubs inside Laliga. Athletico Madrid may not have big name in the club like Real Madrid but they knows how to find their way though against all odds. Even Barca can testify that Athletico Madrid is not a small club to be trifled with, with the way that they balled so hard until they successfully  knocked Barcelona away from champion League.

The way that Real Madrid played was very disappointing. Nobody in club could hold their position even Mbappe, and others.  It was now as if they were using a flexible formation. Laliga is getting tougher and tougher so at this point they just have to sit the fuck up.

Honestly, I'm not happy with the referee that officiated the game because he wasn't professional enough and that he has given Mourinho the opportunity of not accepting his defeat and put the blame on the referee for their defeat which I can understand. However, I am totally disappointed with Real Madrid performance in that match.

Despite the controversy over the referee leading the match, I think Real Madrid's poor performance is much more worthy of being the reason why they lost the derby game. Match statistics can tell us that Real Madrid can't do much. Real Madrid had only 6 shots and 3 of them were on target. The decision of the referee to give a red card to one of The Real Madrid players has obviously changed their game plan, but that is not the reason why Real Madrid should play badly.

Atletico Madrid is actually doubtful based on the probabilities before the game, but in reality we have seen that something could be different from what was predicted. Real Madrid have a hard time developing the game due to the high pressure of Atletico's players, tactically that is why Real Madrid have to accept defeat instead of blaming the referee's performance.

There will be some excuse whenever a team loses, but blaming others for your defeat as a coach is not something encouraging for coaches to do, they should take their defeat and prepare for other matches instead of blaming the refrees for something they could have controled by making sure they win their match.
Mourinho will always be Mourinho; nothing really changes because he really hates defeat, and he will always complain, and we have started seeing it.

Barcelona is the best team in Laliga currently, Real Madrid has signed some players, but they can't challenge Barcelona with their current squad because Hensi Flick has rebuilt his team by adding some important players, and now the team is unpredictable; they are scoring goals for fun.

[BIT-BENDER]

The press conference Jose Mourinho had has to be a new level of embarrassment in his coaching career or even in the history of any laliga press conference.
The stump on Bellingham was dangerous but both players were going for the ball and that's why the referee gave a yellow card, the only mistake I saw is the overlooked dangerous tackle from athletico Madrid that var didn't call to the attention of the referee.

Madrid are sour and the fact Jose Mourinho is bringing Barcelona into the conversation is shameful, I have seen some Madrid fans online actually feeling embarrassed that they club is acting this way.

Real Madrid hasn’t been playing well this season, their performance yesterday was just a reflection of how they have been struggling this season. It was a derby match and Atletico Madrid on their own were not doing bad, so it was always going to be a tough match for Real Madrid playing Atletico at away. Mourinho is right to complain of the bad officiating, no manager will keep quiet when they feel they are wrongly treated in a football match by the officials. Last season it was also referee dramas and complaints from both Madrid and Barcelona. The league management should talk to the referees to be more transparent and professional in decision makings.

Real madrid isnt on its best form, and thet is the main problem. A club that has One of the Best managers, has the Most expensive players and players that have exceptional personal records, so despite having all of these why are they not succeeding…? Being in top 4 is not success for this team… even top 1 shouldn’t be success for this kind of team, they should have dominated the whole world with this yet they are struggling in their league against atletico and other teams the didnt invest a Fraction of what madrid did. The main problem is discipline and team chemistry and if madrid sorts this out then they might be able to succeed.

A good team shouldn't let the decisions of the referee affect their game play. The referee did makes some wrong calls but I still think Real Madrid didn't play goo enough to win and they are now finding an excuse to blame the referee. I know it can be painful but Mourinho speaking out against the referee is not ideal IMO, the blame should be on the team Instead, there is still a lot of improvement to make and they should be more focused on that instead of blaming the referee.

It's a derby match so things like these are expected, the intensity will definitely test the players but they must learn to remain professional and focus on the game. It's not the first time seeing referee's making a wrong call so they just need to accept, it could be in their favor sometimes too.

Filling your squad with expensive players doesn’t automatically mean you’ve got yourself a solid team. What really matters isn’t how expensive the players are, but how far the players are willing to work together and well the manager can harness their talents and creativity and then finally how well they can individually deliver their roles consistently. It’s very possible and have been proven in countless occasions that a squad can be filled with world class players but still struggle if they can’t work together or the collective balance isn’t right. Most of the times, the issues with certain teams isn’t the lack of talents, but rather the ability to use those talents.

Yeah. But even with the fact that they refree performance was terrible Real Madrid suppose to win the match, I already know Mounrinho is going to use the referee as an excuse, I can't blame referee completely Real Madrid still lack a good performance and they should better wake-up and correct every of their single weak points before it'll be late for them.

Dude has to stop to behave like he's a real loser. he has to comeback stronger like a man. Wasting your time just to complaint here and there won't change the outcome. I hope someone in Madrid tells him about that.

But this is the usual thing coaches do. The only time coaches don't complain is when they win the match but when they played and they don't win and they feel they were rob, they are going to complained. I did not expect Mourinho to overreact with the outcome, this is Derby match and teams were supposed to play like they did. This is how they play in El clasico, minor fouls are not consider too much unless where it's obvious and even the obvious are ignored.

He should go back home and put his teams together, what they played was amature game, they had the room to play better but the couldn't. The first time was there with wonderful opportunities but the couldn't convert any. The red card was what spoiled everything, there was no way they are coming out of that not when their beginning game was very poor.

We have seen La Liga referees make such wrong decisions before. Especially in big matches like El Clasico or derby matches. The continuity of a match is ruined due to a wrong decision. But those who watch La Liga in advance will easily understand such decisions by La Liga referees. In derby matches, the players are more jostling than in other normal matches. There are more fouls than attacks in the match. Real Madrid will have to fix their game and positioning first. There will be many things to talk about tomorrow's match, but I just want to talk about some of Mbappe's positions.

When goalkeeper Courtois received a long ball pass, Mbappe should have been standing with the opposing team's defense line. But he was waiting in the central midfield. But I don't understand why he would be in the central midfield. And Mbappe was seen carelessly running around at important times in the match. Mbappe was needed with Yan Diomande when the goalkeeper passed the long ball. If Mbappe had been behind Yan Diomande at that moment, he could have easily scored another goal and equalized the match. But he was only busy with his personal performance during the match. Real Madrid has deteriorated so much today because of such personal performance. Although Mourinho has been able to solve the team's problems to some extent, he is still not able to make Mbappe perform fully as a team. Therefore, the coach needs to go home and improve the team instead of criticizing the referee's decision.

[Btcdeybodi]

a team that has focused and and they are very strong in the pitch has nothing to worry about a red card and this has indicated that Real Madrid and Manchester United will not go far in this season. Real Madrid took second position in the 2025/2026 season and Manchester United took third in Premier League. But in this season none of those teams will go near those their previous positions. I was really disappointed by Real Madrid yesterday. They made me to lost $15.

However, the way the league is going it is becoming obvious that Barcelona will win the league again this season.

This is possibly the first time I am seeing someone call Atletico Madrid a mediocre team. If you are someone that has been following the La Liga, at least for the past 10 years you will know that Atletico Madrid is among the top 3 teams in the La Liga. They're also strong contenders against Barcelona and Real Madrid so calling them a mediocre team is a very big insult on them. For the fact that they don't win the La Liga title regularly do not mean they are a small club. If you should know, the team you called mediocre team eliminated Barcelona in the Copa del rey last season and also eliminated them in the Champions League to show how strong they are. Besides, Real Madrid played from away so Atletico Madrid was more confident since they were at home.

However, Real Madrid must improve in their performance if they still want to contend the title till the end of the season because the more they keep losing matches that is how they are widening the gaps against Barcelona and slimming their chances of winning the La Liga.

Real Madrid performed like an average team against Atletico Madrid but it is true that the referee did not manage the match properly as we can see many people blaming the referee after the loss in that derby match. It is certainly safe to assume that Real Madrid are in contention to win the title this season, but the team fell short when they faced Atletico Madrid.

Even it is conceivable that when they face the El Clasico match against Barcelona, they might be weaker. The bottom line is that Barcelona have won seven matches in a row this season and every player in this team is giving their best but in my opinion Real Madrid have won only five matches so statistically they are behind Barcelona.

[eisen33]

Yeah. But even with the fact that they refree performance was terrible Real Madrid suppose to win the match, I already know Mounrinho is going to use the referee as an excuse, I can't blame referee completely Real Madrid still lack a good performance and they should better wake-up and correct every of their single weak points before it'll be late for them.

I think the referee’s initial decision to award a penalty and give Huijsen a yellow card was enough. It was already a big punishment for Real Madrid considering how the game was going. But the referee decided to change his decision and replaced the yellow card with a red card for Huijsen.

In a match like this, after Atletico took the lead from the penalty, they were almost completely in control of the game. Real Madrid were unable to come back afterwards, I also think that the referee’s mistake decided the outcome of the match.

[Black Mbaye]

I think the referee should be suspended for a few matches and not officiated at all because he made very clear mistakes in front of the whole world. Valverde's leg was almost broken in the Real Madrid game, and he didn't give a red card for that incident. The referee's performance was far below his La Liga standards. Real Madrid rightly criticized the referee's performance in their statements. Any team would have reacted the same way. Especially considering that they are now six points behind Barcelona, ​​this defeat is even more painful.
