Yes, it's true, Atletico Madrid started the season very convincingly, of course Atletico Madrid this season is terrible, as strong as new. It can also be seen that Memphis Depay is happier and plays carefree when playing for Atletico Madrid, which is different from when he was at Barcelona when it seemed like there was a burden and pressure.
But behind Depay's arrival, there was Joao Felix who was eliminated from the squad. Joao Felix openly wanted to play at Barcelona and now his dream of playing at Barcelona has been achieved. I think this season Atletico Madrid will be a challenger for this season's La Liga champions provided they have to be consistent in every match, they must get three points in every match.
However, Atletico Madrid is one of the strongest teams in Laliga, and no matter how strong it is, there are times when things are bad enough to go through, maybe because the players have decreased in performance or because of injuries or also because their competing teams are experiencing very real developments that make the competition so tight. in that season.
I agree that Atletico Madrid started the season quite well and if they want to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona then they have to start well from the start of the season, if they experience problems from the start of the season it will be difficult because they can be left far behind competing teams.
Alvaro Morata has also performed quite well at the start of this season, at least he has scored 3 goals in three matches, and the big win from Rayo Vallecano has made their strikers collect goals.
