Atletico Madrid is only limited to the favorite team in the top four positions, they still have difficulty surpassing Barcelona and Real Madrid because the squad they have is still below the quality of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico need to make big purchases in the transfer market to become competitors to Barcelona and Real Madrid in fighting for the title, so far the La Liga trophy has been alternately won by Barca and Madrid.
Diego Simeone is a good coach, he also has the credibility to bring Atletico to win La Liga, the problem is that failed to bring Atletico to win La Liga because the squad they have is not ready to compete with Barca and Madrid. I really dream of Atletico being transformed like Arsenal who spend large amounts of money to bring in quality players, if Atletico dares to bring in some quality players, they will be ready to compete for first place in the standings list.
It seems that spending money to buy a star player is not their style in every transfer exchange. Diego Simeone released more star players than buying it, let's say Griezmann who was released to Barcelona even though Barca was their own competitor in La Liga and then bought it back from Barca after the price dropped. Seeing Atletico's style on the Tranfer Exchange is almost similar to the style of one of the Bundesliga Borussia Dortmund clubs who like to sell players to rival clubs Munchen.
The dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona does look firmer, naturally because the two clubs have a lot of money to buy star players. But a little mistaken if many call Atletico as a complementary club and favorite of the top four La Liga standings because when viewed from the statistics of achievement in the last decade they have also won La Liga twice in 2014 and 2021. At least with the achievement it can Past the dominance of two giants of La Liga Madrid and Barca giants, and for the transfer window this time it looks like they will not be as brave as Arsenal in spending their money to buy star players.
