La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2026/27

[Silence Scream]

I think we might just be getting prime Vinicius back 😃

News reaching me now is that him and his girlfriend Virginia have broken up. Sorry to say but i think it’s good news, the issue between them has been going on for a long time and it’s safe to say that it has somehow affected his mental health and the way he plays. Maybe now that she’s gone, he will be able to focus more on playing good football.

A person private life is their business, but to be honest, i think he dodged a bullet by letting her go.

Haha, and how exactly will he get into his prime after the breakup? Do you expect a typical broken guy energy to come in him and win the champions league for madrid? Reality is way different than a fictional story and a breakup might make his performance even more worse as he will have to face the pressure of performing for the team as well as his heartbreak and he might slip under the pressure, so i think you should be expecting his wellbeing rather than seeing him weaker and more vulnerable

In my opinion, Vinicius should be rested now, as he hasn't yet delivered the level of performance expected at Real Madrid. He isn't playing up to his potential for the Brazilian national team either his form has been steadily declining this year. I used to view Vinicius Jr. as a highly effective player, but he is struggling significantly with Real Madrid this season. He gets plenty of chances but fails to convert them, squandering the opportunities.

[EL MOHA]

In Real Madrid recent matches, I don't think that Vinicius is that productive so I believe his absence may not really make any difference. Kylian Mbappe will be fit to play in the El Clasico, except a recent injury happens before then since he will play in the Champions League match against Roma tomorrow and possibly against Sevilla in the La Liga before the El Clasico.

If you look at even the Villarreal game you would notice that Jose Mourinho didn’t start Vinicius Jnr in that game with Yan Diamonde starting ahead of I do think that same thing will happen in the remaining games. For me this is actually a great opportunity for Real Madrid to filed in their best best players because this Vinicius jnr has for long time been poor and ended to be dropped. Hopefully this period will give Diamonde more time to develop and integrate into the team. His first goal last weekend is a moral booster.

A lot of you were clamouring for Jose Mourinho that he’ll turn things around with this Real Madrid side but it’s unfortunate the problem on the pitch persists, I don’t know much about the off pitch activities but Jose still remains Himself.

Most people that wanted Mourinho was just to help resolve the dressing room problems but most people knew that tactically he doesn’t have the ability to change this team

[Amphenomenon]

Real Madrid certainly aren't playing like title contenders right now. They've had several matches in La Liga where their attack has struggled, and the game against Villarreal turned out to be another tough one. Compared to Real, Barcelona look like clear favourites at the moment, and honestly, I don't know what Mourinho needs to focus on or what he should try to improve. Maybe he needs to work on the attack, or perhaps on Vinicius's discipline.

Vinicius jr may likely miss the upcoming El classico game due the red card he got in their last game with Villarreal, this will be bad on the side of Real madrid because they need such player in their game with Barcelona. Mbappe also may miss the El classico i don't see no way Real madrid is going to win this game, from their current performance Barcelona is doing excellent they are the team playing like title contenders for now unless Real madrid will improve before i can see them as title contenders.

Real Madrid are still trying to balance the team, I mean find their rhythm but until then seeing them struggling is something we all should be aware that it is possible.

While El classico might worth the excitement, Barcelona currently is the favourite, I hope Real Madrid wins but seeing the players who may be absent, this is more difficult.

His girlfriend was the reason why he lost focus in football? Vinicus has become a clumsy person since after he lost the award to Rodrigo, he came back the next season and everyone since then his season has been worse. I don't know if it's because he lost the award thereby making him to lose confidence in himself. Vinicus has helped Real Madrid to win two champions, we watched him do it and seeing this Vinicus here with what his playing, he has changed. You made assumptions of his girlfriend, I don't know if she's the one who has held him back with the way you started your comment. If she's the reason then he should get back to his old form.

It isn't usually easy for some to let go when they're soul-tied with their girlfriend. I guess those issues with the babe indeed really affected his form and performance, and hopefully he bounces back quickly since they've both parted ways. He can now focus on his football career knowing fully well that the journey with the girl has come to an end and not keeping the young man anticipated for a possible reunion.

After two seasons without a title, the same possibility is increasing this season. It is not possible to create any big expectations from them at the moment, because expecting big achievements in their poor condition of small battles is nothing but foolishness. We are not getting the benefits of changing the manager either, now the question arises in my mind that was the right decision to change the manager? Is the problem with the manager or the players?

If they fail miserably this season too, then they should restructure the team. Despite having big names, some players should be released and players who value team performance and fight for team results on the field should be brought into the team.

This whole situation with Vinicius has been going on ever since he started making demands over his salary, wanting to be paid as much as Mbappe. But it's obvious that his level of performance is significantly lower than Mbappe's, and he is less valuable to the team as well. His latest red card could easily have cost Real Madrid the victory, as he left the team a man down against a fairly strong Villarreal. He will most likely receive a several matches suspension, let him take this time to rest and think things over. Maybe he will manage to draw some proper conclusions from all this.

At first, I thought that after Madrid went through a slump last season and eventually recruited Mourinho, it would be easy for them to bounce back and become stronger, but it turns out I was wrong. 

As you said, under Mourinho, Madrid hasn't fully found a good game rhythm yet. In fact, in every match they really struggle to score goals. They do dominate the game, but scoring is difficult for them. If Barcelona wins big in every match, Madrid is actually the opposite.

So it's really understandable if many people say Barcelona is a favorite to defend their La Liga title this season. Especially since Barcelona is 6 points ahead of Madrid and in the next two matches there will be El Clasico. With Madrid's current performance, it's very likely that Barcelona will extend their lead over Madrid. On top of that, Vini will probably also not be able to play in the El Clasico because he got a red card in the match against Villarreal.

While you have a point here, it's still too early to write them off, in the past two seasons they failed to win something I feel this is like the worse start but this doesn’t disrupt the possibility of improving and getting trophies even if the Laliga  is more uncertain since it require greater consistency.

We haven't seen anything good from them yet and we don't see any solution to the problems they have in their team. If the current situation continues, it may never be possible for Madrid to turn around. But yes, many are saying that if Mourinho gets some time, Real Madrid's position may improve a bit. But Real Madrid have very good players and they are a strong enough team that they don't have anything to start over with. They have some problems in their team for which we are seeing results, if these problems are solved, then maybe Madrid can stand up again. Maybe a captain like Sergio Ramos is what Real Madrid needs

Though there was some hope for Real Madrid at the beginning of the season, now their performance seems like they will not be able to survive in front of Barcelona. Due to the change of coach, only the dressing room quarrels have been resolved. The players' unprofessional attitude is visible on the field. If such an attitude exists, talented players cannot utilize their talents. Which causes great harm to the team and the player's career. Real Madrid is still having various troubles with Vinicius and Mbappe. At one point, Vinicius was dropped from the starting 11.

Diomande is desperate to prove himself in Vinicius' place. I don't think a team whose players are busy with themselves will be able to compete with Barcelona this season. If Barcelona is thinking of taking a chance in Rafina's absence, I would like to remind them that they are much stronger than Real Madrid without Rafina. Football fans hate to see these dramatic entertainments from Real Madrid. So, it is natural to doubt their victory.

In my opinion, Vinicius Jr. has to be one of the most overrated player in the world especially with the value they place on him, he hasn't been that good since the last 2 seasons ago and even that is ballon d'or run he wasn't that good. Sometimes it's scary that Real Madrid keeps topping his salary when he is not putting up world class performance

And another thing I don't get about Real Madrid now is what they plan to do with Endrick, I don't know why they recalled him from loan if they are not planning on using him

Perhaps a red card like this was exactly what Vinicius needed, given that Jose Mourinho struggles to take him out of the lineup. Now, he will be sidelined due to the suspension. I am curious to see how Real Madrid’s flanks will perform during this period; if the new setup yields better results than Vinicius was delivering, we might even see the Brazilian on the bench for a while.

Hopefully this period will give Diamonde more time to develop and integrate into the team. His first goal last weekend is a moral booster.  

I didn’t watch that game but seeing how Vinicius Junior has been playing poorly and less than expected, it calls to use another player in place of him, maybe that will encourage him to do more and perform better in the coming games. There is a lot of high hopes on this players and I doubt if they forget that easily sometimes under some kind of management. Yia Doamonde has great potentials but if he is not giving the opportunity to shine for that, he is going to be having a tough time integrating into the team. We will be more observant with Mourinho starting eleven in the coming games, that tells a lot the nature of the kind of game he wants to play in Real Madrid.

Yan Diomandé will replace Vinicius in that position, Vinicius won't be missed, the way he is acting, someday he will be removed from Real Madrid's starting lineup, his manners are becoming unmanageable, and his performance is down to average. The Vinicius we knew before wasn't so bad, i understand that players kind of lose their excellence in some seasons, but even the shadow of Vinicius shouldn't have been this bad at football.

Vinicius Jr really need to step up and behave correctly because if he continues like this, his form will dropped heavily and also his market value. Coming off the bench and scoring a goal that was unturn by VAR and a straight red card issue to Vini for pulling the hair of his opponent, Vini couldn't hide his frustration and shouted all out to the referee, this is absolutely not working.

Vinicius Jr will miss the El classico this season but Real Madrid fans should not worry because they have Yan Diomande who will be outstanding and replace Vinicius Jr perfectly. The Ivory Coast international have the qualities and have become very competitive and advanced this season, he build the confidence and started to start and play regular time under José Mourinho.

[Byebyebtc]

Barcelona is proving little by little that the reasons for their significant win with goal deference is not about an easy league, but ist about a very good attack, 1-4 win against Galatasaray is something I would never expected

I alwaysed said that the reason why Barcelona seems to be winning much was because of their league, but they are proving me wrong, they are the ones who is strong instead

Real Madrid have a large number of reserve players but very few quality and talented players. Mourinho may not be interested in playing Endrick because he is not in good form. Mourinho will probably prefer Yan Diomandé instead of Vinícius. He prefers to play on the left wing and is a very talented Ivorian footballer.

Some have criticized Vinícius, but it will be seen in the next match how the team manages to manage the attack without him with the alternative wing. He will not be seen in the next few matches and Mourinho will be eager to see how he handles this situation.

[Hewlet]

I alwaysed said that the reason why Barcelona seems to be winning much was because of their league, but they are proving me wrong, they are the ones who is strong instead

This barca team will play against the best performing team of any league and will still score them as much as possible because they are a good and complete team. they are always not in a haste to score. they take their time to play, create chances and only attack when they want to. that sense of uniformity and and collectedness is what is missing in most teams.

Even after they went down by a goal, they still continued to play as though they were the winning side and it is just a matter of time before things starts falling in place for them. Any team that will beat this barca side regardless of the league they are coming from will have a lot of work to do if not, we will be seeing this kind of result even in subsequent games.

Not just Vinicius, there are couple of other players whose performances have been below per since Mourinho Arrived to take over the club, the expectation of Mourinho coming was very high and now it seems they’re underperforming especially the new players. The new signings Bernado Silva, Cucurella, Dumfries and Diomande haven’t really made much of an impact to the team as we all have expected them to. Vinicius just signed a new long term contract keeping him at the club until 2032 which for me shouldn’t have, he’s been at the club since he was 18 and now 26 his performance has reduced drastically and I think is time he should consider leaving for a new challenge elsewhere.

The potential of Barcelona players is truly extraordinary they were formidable last night yet I remain convinced they will struggle to beat Real Madrid in El Clasico. Lamine Yamal played brilliantly against Galatasaray defense but facing Real Madrid in La Liga will be a serious test that poses a real challenge for him. Furthermore Real Madrid players are riding a wave of high confidence especially if they manage to beat AS Roma tonight which will certainly make things very difficult for Barcelona in the league. With Mbappe and Yan Diomande becoming increasingly cohesive, I think Barcelona will face a tough time.
