Atletico Madrid have indeed continued to maintain their current consistency very well. I even believe that in the next match Atletico will still be able to win. even the difference in points with Real Madrid is getting thinner. so that Real Madrid also cannot be complacent and must continue to defend their victory. because the difference of 5 points with Atletico Madrid is not a big difference.
Actually, for now Atletico is indeed maintaining a trend where they continue to secure a position in the top 3. But for the sake of achievement they are still there and they will still be difficult to overtake Madrid no matter what.
Atletico, Barcelona and Madrid have always been the top teams in La Liga but still in this case the clear order is Atletico in 3rd place. Even though for the previous few seasons they always put real pressure on and even won La Liga once too but for now not possible and they can only be in the top 3 and that is something that is absolutely certain.
only 5 points difference from Real Madrid and if Atletico Madrid can continue to maintain consistency then it is not impossible that they will be able to catch up and occupy 2nd place in the standings.
but I think the top La Liga teams don't seem to have too much desire if they don't compete to be champions.
like Real Madrid, they will find it very difficult to catch Barcelona at the top of the standings and maybe because of that it makes their focus and desire to watch La Liga matches not as passionate as before, maybe Real Madrid will focus on the European stage and Atletico could take advantage of that to be able to finish in 2nd place in the final La Liga standings.
