La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

Same incident as that of Vini, because you criticise me there's no way I'm saying it's not a foul or a red card, Vini committed a foul and according to the rule it's a red card, that's fine by me and I acknowledge that but there's a problem. I remember against Alaves , Marcelo got his hair pulled in the 18 yard box, no penalty awarded and no card was given. In the Champions League last season or two I think, Adeyemi at Dortmund pulled a player's hair, he was given yellow card. Now before some starts saying it's a new rule, check the image above, this foul happened after the new rule but he only got away with a yellow card. Vini did same and the referee remembers the rule to red card him straight up. Like I said earlier, it's a foul and a red according to the rules but the question is, where exactly is the consistency?

Mourinho remains one of the best coaches in the history of football, winning 26 trophies across Europe, quite an extraordinary record. At Real Madrid, it seems that he has not gotten his ground yet and their performance is below what we expected after their summer signings.

The refereeing system is not exactly bias and have also favored them in any occasions, maybe you made this statement based on their past matches but there is no evidence whatsoever that justifies this claim.

Without a doubt, Mourinho is a coach on another level and should already be winning top trophies at Real Madrid. It's about time, and that's precisely why Florentino Pérez brought him in.

Regarding what you said about refereeing, it's obvious that the system has gotten completely brazen. They've already reopened the Negreira case for further investigation, and this will likely turn into one of the biggest corruption scandals in history. Don't be surprised if they end up stripping Barcelona of some titles once all that apparent corruption is fully exposed.

La Liga is returning to its familiar form. We usually see these three specific team at top of point table. however due to somewhat inconsistent performance early in season, Atletico and Real Madrid had fallen significantly behind.

Real Madrid are still 4th on the table for now. This screenshot was before Real Betis played their game. They played, and they won 5- 3 against Osasuna, so they are back to 3rd position, and Real Madrid has gone back to 4th.

Are you saying that Vinicius Jr deserved the red card? Are you saying that Jude Bellingham's outburst isn't justifiable? Jose Mourinho obviously avoided to speak about it because he knows he won't be hiding anything and to avoid getting into trouble, his best option was to react.

Real Madrid is the only club where a player will pull the hair of a player unprovoked, yet the players, staff and fans will confidently tell you it shouldn't have been a red card. I honestly don't understand it. I think two different players have been sent off for pulling Cucurella's hair, but when it comes to a Madrid player, y'all act like there is a conspiracy against you. In no world would a player pull an opponent's hair like that and the player won't get sent off. So I don't understand what this outburst from the Madrid player and fans is all about. That same day yesterday, a Spanish women's team player was sent off for pulling another player's hair.

If a foul isn't called for Madrid, "it's a conspiracy", if the referee makes the wrong call and it goes against Madrid, "it's a conspiracy", but these things happen in every game. Other teams get calls that were too harsh, they complain about it and move on, but when it comes to Madrid, they will talk about it like the league wants them to lose as a punishment or something.

[PhilosopherKing]

Real Madrid is not really giving me the hope that they can challenge for this 2026/2027 Spanish LA Liga title, despite they won yesterday, I'm not yet convinced that they can meet up with Barcelona with that gap, and if by chance they lose the EL Clásico to Barcelona then it's a go for Barcelona because by then I can be 80% certain that Real Madrid can't catch up with Barcelona, and it will be so embarrassing for a team like Real Madrid to go a whole three seasons without a trophy, but I just hope they improve on their games.

How can you even call that a win. Winning is the kind of score sheets you see when you look at what Barcelona has been doing since they started the league. That one goal is a narrow escape from what was a very frustrating night for real Madrid. I am.not gonna lie but real Madrid could be in for their third trophiless season. Even Mbappe that I have hope in was just loosing chances in that their match.

The form that the two side are showing, I think that barcelona are certain to win that el Classico. Yes anything can happen, but I think that it will take an impossible miracle for real Madrid to win that match.

Real Madrid have had a poor start to the season which sees them already behind Real Betis. Currently we can see that Barcelona is at the top and the points gap with this team is 6 with Real Madrid, so it can be undoubtedly assumed that if Real Madrid are defeated in the upcoming El Clasico match, Barcelona will go much further.

Spanish club Real Madrid have only won six matches so if they lose in El Clasico it seems that this team will not be able to match Barcelona very easily which will leave Real Madrid team behind in the La Liga title race this season as well. The main thing is that Barcelona players are full of confidence and are showing great performance in every match therefore we can assume that Barcelona will be able to win the title this season as well, making it three consecutive seasons of La Liga title.

Seriously, Real Madrid are really playing below many people's expectations. It is not how we expected Real Madrid to be performing, especially when Barcelona are performing at such a high levelIf anyone has been watching Real Madrid's matches, they will know that they are just struggling to win games. It is not as if they have been winning matches comfortably; they have been struggling to secure victories, which I always classify as lucky wins.In every match, I expect them to improve, but, to be honest with myself, I have not been seeing any improvement.With the way Barcelona are going, if it is not an injury crisis that causes their performances to drop, I don't think Real Madrid will be able to catch them, even if Real Madrid improve. Barcelona don't look like a team that is likely to mess up what they are currently doing.

I don't even know why this fan base is dragging this stuff to this extent, just because they were inaccurate for other teams they should do the same for you ? And that hair pull by Adeyemi was done to a Barcelona player so u see how unfair they have been to Barca, lol. By the way why so much pain, you guys literally won the match, too bad the referee decided to blow fair today

Although the season is just starting and there are many games to play but so far the performance of Real Madrid has been very slow and below expectations of people who thought this season they will be able to make up for the past 3 seasons without a trophy. They are finding it difficult to win games comfortably I don’t know why maybe is because Mourinho is not really a fan of sexy possession football or scoring too many goals just the way Barca is doing. With the Classico coming up if the team doesn’t improve to win or get a point in that game against Barcelona then I think they should just  forget about winning the La liga this season.

I don't think that's the reason for there low, or bad performance in comparison to Barcelona,  Real Madrid has never been the possession type, right from the dominant time of Carlos Ancelotti, they have always been on the intense and fast pace counter attack and this Real is falling apart because they are not finding new ways to make it work and that's because Mourinho generally lacks idea

Do not expect too much from Real Madrid this season and do not give Barcelona the trophy yet because anything can happen before the middle of the season which may or may not affect their performance. Real Madrid had not recovered from the legends that left the team and the injuries of last season is still affecting the team's performance, they have Jose Mourinho now but they are still not getting it right while Barcelona is finding it easy this time. If Real Madrid ends up losing against Barcelona it may be difficult for them to recover and catch up with them in points but you can't give the league to Barcelona because there's enough time and the league is still very fresh.

We should not worry about Barcelona rather we should be focusing on Real Madrid because tell me how a team like Real Madrid are not confident of grabbing 3 points week in and week out? Real Madrid should upgrade because Barcelona have already done that and they did without stress or having to challenge through hurdles. Real Madrid have been dealt with by average sides when they met we watched this season struggling and dropping points against Atletico De Madrid and also Elche.

José Mourinho presence at Santiago Bernabeu is not enough, we thought Real Madrid will be able to improve but that's not the case because Real Madrid are just struggling. I'm just picturing when Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the El classico because that day, it's going to be top actions from bothsides. Real Madrid might also end this season trophyless with the way they're performing on the pitch.

While I may partly agree with you, I will also not outrightly criticize the outcome of the games Mourinho has fixtures as him lacking ideas, I just see it as a moment he is still working hard to completely improve the entire fragment of the squad, which at some extent became frangmented when players began to fight for their individual position instead of the position of the club as a whole, such conflicts of individual and selfish interests has been what has been weighing the club down in terms of performance. 8 games played with none to be overly celebrated due to landmark achievements, while they have lost two games already, they’ve worked not to stand up draw with any team going forward, such will help them tomorrow though

The performance of Real Madrid is now becoming a problem for the fans. They have been winning most of their games this season, but winning a game and winning the league trophy are entirely different.

Real Madrid's chances of winning the league this season depend on various factors that they need to address. Real Madrid needs to be consistent with their performance today to reach a high point, and if they are able to win against Barcelona in El Clásico, this will give them the confidence to win the trophy. However, if they fail to win, I don't think that proactiveness will be there for them to win the league trophy.

One thing that Real Madrid fans have to brace themselves up for is this kind of performance, while they will be winning most games and even with the six point gap they would actually be competing for the title with Barcelona but Jose Mourinho has never been a manager who prioritizes the possession football rather he is simply those managers who rather will have the win no matter how it comes and I have usually said he is long gone with this tactics as the football world is evolving.

For the el Classico I will say take away the current form of Barcelona I will say they will beat Real Madrid because ones this Madrid side actually struggles to get ball from a possessing opponent it easily opens up the team defensively and when they do that we all know how Barcelona can capitalize on that

[Alpha Marine]

No matter how optimistic I am about Barcelona each season but for the Champions League always do not put much hope or make them favorites over other European teams. For La Liga and some Spanish competitions I'm sure Barcelona can secure it with promise.

Barcelona have been disappointing in Europe for the last decade, but I feel people have been exaggerating how bad it has been for them. And a big reason for this is considering how successful their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, have been in the competition. After Barcelona won the UCL in 2015, only 6 different teams have won the Champions League. It's not like several teams have been winning it while Barcelona has been left out.
Pep's Man City tried for about 7 years before they finally won it. PSG have been trying to win since 2011, when QSI took over till they finally won it back to back. Chelsea won it in 2012 and worked for another 9 years before they won it again. Bayern Munich waited for about 7 years too before they won it again, and it's already been 7 years, yet they haven't won it again.
Real Madrid is the only club that has won it consistently in this period.
So yeah, it's bad for Barcelona that they have gone 11 years without winning the Champions League, but I feel people exaggerate it. Top clubs go 10 years and more before they win the champions league again. It took Liverpool 14 years to win it again.
With the current young players they have and the current manager, they will win the Champions League soon, even if they don't win it this season. they are slowly building a champions league winning team.

[Rgram]

I expected Mourinho to be strict with these players but he seemed to have gone soft and is now playing father figure instead of the authoritarian we used to know him as; i mean it’s not accidental that Real Madrid brought him back because of the big egos (Mbappe, Vini, Bellingham e.t.c), cos they know he’s the only coach that can handle them well without Perez becoming salty about it cos he knows that whatever decision Mourinho takes would be for the betterment of the team but Mourinho has obviously chosen the route of mentor.

The old Mourinho would have benched Vinicius by now, come out to publicly call out the standard of the team and even created some tension by now, but that version of him seems to have been suppressed and i wonder why; could it be because of his age or just a smart play under Perez, i’m yet to understand.

The present Mourinho still can. It’s just a little too early to start benching a player that is still trying to perform. Vini currently understands that his playing time is being contested and his looking to make good of the time his got.

One name I’m surprised to find there though is Bellingham, haven’t seen him to be in that fold and his good.
Real Madrid just needs to be playing as a team and that’s what they are not doing right now, they are desperate but not desperate enough to get wins.

Barcelona is a whole new story, they are just motivated to dominate and they’ve being going about doing that.

Let's say that evaluating an entire season is complicated, but given the squad that Flick has at its disposal and the quality of the players themselves we can certainly say that most of the championship will be exploited in a positive way, bringing good results, also considering the champions league

Barcelona is currently at its peak. They have a coach who has successfully integrated his players and has them at the top. They're winning by a landslide, which says a lot. They have players who make a difference even on the bench, and what I like is that he gives everyone the opportunity to play.

As things stand, they're winning the season, and that's a fact. They're doing it with quality and good football. The season still has a long way to go, so what I wonder is, how can they maintain this rhythm and be good in the Champions League? Fatigue will set in at some point, and that's when they need to take advantage of the cushion they're building right now.

Looking at Barcelona's current form, you or I can naturally put them ahead in terms of their chances of winning the trophy. One of the many logical reasons is that no team has emerged as their equal yet. Many analysts expressed hope for Real Madrid but looking at the team's performance, it seems that they will not be able to go far. Look at the analysis of the last match against Villarreal, Real Madrid could not play as expected in that match. Despite winning, many fans were not satisfied with their performance.

I think Barcelona will be able to maintain their rhythm because they have many talented players in the team and if one player gets injured, another substitute player is eager to do better. I think Barcelona gives more importance to the Spanish league than the Champions League. But if the team can maintain this natural rhythm, these two trophies will not be difficult.

But after Real Madrid's victory against Villarreal, I still think it's a positive thing for Real Madrid. Villarreal is a tough team to beat, so a win will certainly give the Real Madrid players more confidence in future matches.

If Real Madrid loses El Clasico, it will certainly make it even more difficult for them to win a trophy. Indeed, if Real Madrid loses in the upcoming El Clasico, it seems Real Madrid's hopes of winning a trophy this season will be very difficult to achieve, while Barcelona certainly has a great potential to win the La Liga trophy this season. Well, we'll see what happens, but one thing is for sure: if Real Madrid doesn't win the title this season, it seems Real Madrid needs to overhaul their players to create a different sensation. What do you think? Now, let's see what Mourinho will do to make Real Madrid perform even better.

It seems like many people are eager to see El Clasico, right?

I think there is a misunderstanding. He was talking about yesterday's win, not winning the league title.

But I still wonder why you judge a team based on their scorelines at the start of the season to say they will win. That is not a guarantee either. If you remember, a few years ago, Real Madrid failed to win La Liga, while Barcelona finished at the top of the table. But did you realize that Real Madrid actually won the UCL that same season?

So I think every team has its own goals, and we never really know what they are.
