Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

Villarreal failed to defeat Real Madrid in a tough match.Villarreal managed to take the lead with Foyth's goal in the 8th minute, but could not find a solution to Mbappe's goals 6 minutes apart.Real Madrid, who won with 2 goals from Mbappe, managed to take the lead with more than a match.

What did you expect? I never for once doubt the winning of Real Madrid, Villarreal is beneath the club in all sense of thinking. Fine, Villarreal scored the goal-opener, but it was a mistake for me, that's what a better side pays for undermining their opponent. No matter how strong you are, don't give room to any chance. But thankfully, Real made the comeback in 10 minutes when Mbappe equalized and also scored the winner shortly after that. In all, both clubs gave it better competition afterwards and I respected Villarreal in the rest of the match, especially the second half.

Villarreal showed that they were well prepared for this match as they were competing for the Champions League. However, one thing that should not be forgotten is that Real Madrid has star players who can change the course of the game at any moment. The most impressive name among them is undoubtedly Mbappé. He scored two goals and changed the match in an instant and helped Real Madrid win the match. Of course, I congratulate Villarreal for their fight. They fought in the best way against Real Madrid.

I can't say otherwise in terms of the preparation because of the display of Villarreal, especially in the second half, they are indeed impressive, they know they are playing with a better side, what do you expect? But for the Champions League chase, this will be tough for them, I don't see the club getting there, it now looks more impossible as weeks pass. Aside from Villarreal being at 8 points beneath the next club to displace (Athletic Club), I can only see Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club alternating the 3rd and 4th positions until the end of the season.
