Atlético Madrid joined the title race every season but gradually fell behind. Because they lack enough talented players in their squad. Atletico Madrid can't find a suitable replacement after a key player is injured. Atletico Madrid are much weaker than Barcelona and Real Madrid next season. Won't do much better this season despite being in the title race with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Surprisingly they still retain most of the players that proved in the previous season the squad was unable to compete and still lags behind the two La Liga giants. Almost every season they do that, indeed with that squad they can still occupy the top three positions in the standings. But don't they have the will to be in a better position by seeking change?
