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.
Why always real and barcelona? Any team that capable enough to be consistent during the season will become a winner. It's not always real madrid and barcelona. The club like atletico, villareal were also having competence to be a winner in la liga as well.
I think that you're over confident if la liga will always be winning by barcelona or real madrid. La liga was not about these two teams.
Lol, then when did you get the record that any other team apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona can be consistent throughout the season? Maybe only when Atletico won the title in the 2020/2021 season, but that was also the case when these two teams were in bad shape. In fact, last season until the first half of the season Barcelona were in the middle of the standings but in the end, Barcelona could end the season in second place. We cannot ignore this and like it or not, we will accept the fact that Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two most dominating teams in La Liga. But even so, at least La Liga still has a competitive rivalry compared to the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 which are only dominated by one team.
