What's hard to admit? I thought they are favorite already by majority, who think otherwise? Real Madrid and Barcelona are far away from their best form, based on mentality, squad quality and financially.
Real Madrid couldn't beat Levante, they showed lack of concentration. They already led the game in first five minutes but couldn't keep the score. If it wasn't Vinicius Junior they wouldn't even get 1 point there.
Atletico Madrid played strong on the other side. Simeone loves 1-0 wins, they scored in first half and did keep the score unlike Real Madrid. Ancelotti can learn one or two things from Simeone, what do you think?
