Barcelona vs Real Madrid prediction 25.10.2026 | La Liga

Barcelona had an amazing season, winning 11 games in a row across competitions - nine in La Liga and two in the Champions League. In La Liga, they are firmly at the top with a seven-point advantage over 2nd-placed Atletico Madrid. The Catalan team looked unstoppable, winning those 11 games with an average goal difference of 3.36! However, that ended in the last game against PSG when they lost 4:2. 

After the game, coach Hansi Flick spoke to the media. He said it was a fantastic match in which PSG showed they are a better team than Barcelona. The coach said they made too many mistakes in possession, losing the ball easily, which PSG exploited. 

When it comes to injuries, Dani Olmo suffered an injury in the previous game and will remain sidelined, alongside Eric Garcia and Roony Bardghji. Moreover, Jules Kounde and Andreas Christensen are listed as questionable. 

Real Madrid started the new era under coach Mourinho pretty well. They won 10 of 12 games, but both losses came in La Liga, leaving them with a six-point deficit. Los Blancos had flashes of excellence this season, but also had some issues, mostly on the road, where they still haven't had a clean sheet. It will be interesting to see just how Mourinho plans to stop Barcelona's offense. 

Real Madrid will have to take on Barcelona without one of their biggest stars, Vinicius Junior. The 26-year-old winger will serve his suspension for the red card he received in the Villarreal game. Instead of him, we could see Yan Diomande in the starting XI. Moreover, Raul Asencio, Ferland Mendy, and Rodrygo should remain sidelined with their injuries.
