Gradually, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are adjusting. Barcelona has been a very weak team since the previous season. They are weak this season too because they lost some of their experienced players.
However, Atletico Madrid's victory over Valencia was extraordinary. They were able to win even after trailing 2-0 in the first half. And the most interesting thing is that Atletico Madrid scored two goals after 90 minutes. If Atletico Madrid and Barcelona can maintain their form, both teams will be in the top 4 of the points table.
They both are slowy on track again as it seems. And there is a huge game between them on the next week of the La Liga. They are in a big rivalry to get past each other in the standings now. Atletico Madrid are still ahead by one point. But after this game, the balances could change. For now, I see that both of them are strong enough to be able to beat the other one. But the game is in Camp Nou and this is a big advantage for Barcelona. They seem to be more trustworthy to me these days. I think that they can win this game by one goal.
