Yes, Atletico Madrid has great potential to interfere with Real Madrid's chances of defending the title. My prediction this season is that the La Liga title race will be competitive again, even though many people still favor El Real.
It's still too early to say who can compete with Real Madrid in La Liga. Atlético start the last season also not bad, but then even Barcelona, which had a very difficult season, managed to get ahead them. So far, Real Madrid looks like the favorite for me, and in order not to get too far ahead, let's look at Saturday's match against Celta. I think that it will not be a problem for Real Madrid to beat them for odds 1.7, which is not bad at all.
La Liga is still controlled by three clubs that often take turns champion, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid are still the main favorites this season, but Ancelotti will need to rotate players in a few games to keep players fit because of the many games to be played this season. Hopefully the injury storm doesn't hit Real Madrid's players, because it will interfere with their performance a little if some of the main players get injured. Real Madrid also did not bring in many players in the transfer market, Ancelotti had to maintain the fitness of the players so that they had a chance to champion by keeping the main players from entering the treatment room.
For me, the effect of Atl'petico de Madrid will not have much effect on the league, there is one thing that I did not like about the cholo, turning his back on a player like CR7, where he would like to win a league with a game structure like the one he has, CR7 can make a difference at any time, it is not going to be that in the middle of the league they need a player like him, I think that at this point the players must be clear that they cannot fail, and they are not machines, for me this league will be dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona without a doubt, Barcelona is another team that may be hanging by a thread if they don't get the results, this league will be interesting because if these teams that are believed to be valuable they can be left behind.
Sure, they will score more in La Liga, I am optimistic that the scorer this season should be Lewa or Benzema.
Alvaro Morata maybe a barrier for the two players to record La Liga's top scorer this season.. Since returning from Serie A his responsibility in completing attacks has increased much more than before, his speed of adaptation will also be a plus that makes Morata one of the candidates for La Liga's top goalscorer this season.
Morata's rivalry with Antoine Griezmann will continue, which of these two players will represent ATM to compete for La Liga's top scorer this season with Benzema and Lewandowski.
Lewandowski seems to appear more productive than his competitors. Lewandowski adapted to Barca's game quite quickly. he scored 4 goals in 3 games in La Liga, and of course, it was a good start.
he showed his class when he had to play at Barca even though the club was still in trouble. he proved he can stay competitive despite being in a tougher competition than the Bundesliga. I support Lewandowski to be the top scorer in La Liga.
Well, so far Lewa has been taking out casta, the one that had us accustomed to Muller, however, we are starting with everything, I hope and want Lewa to continue doing that great job and continue doing it more and more, I finally want to see a classic between Barcelona and Real Madrid like the ones from a few years ago, when I was playing, and Zidane in Madrid, and as I have said on several occasions, I am not a fan of Barcelona, but if they raise the level in that way that is very good because the level of football in general at least in the league will have a great increase, and when it comes to the toughest games in the UCL they will do a good job.
