Atletico Madrid has the potential to maintain its position as last season to target third position. Because 1 and 2 are still ideal positions for Real Madrid and Barcelona. If you look at Atletico Madrid's ambitions last season, they didn't just stumble, but they were too confident and didn't realize that players who couldn't control their emotions only had a bad impact on the team's performance.
Atletico Madrid has not made many changes this season, it looks like Simeone is ready to be in third place. Of the 20 teams participating in the La Liga competition, only four teams have always dominated the top four, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. I think it is not difficult for Atletico to maintain its position in the top four, because other clubs cannot last long in the UCL Zone. This season Atletico Madrid will also get a place in the top four, the hard style of play that is attached to Atletico will still be shown this season, of course it will be a capital for Atletico to get full points in the matches they play.
