Atletico Madrid haven't made much change in their squad for this season. This is a usual thing for Atletico Madrid so I'm not surprised with that. However they have still made a good progress compared to last season. Because this time Atletico Madrid started the season really strongly. Especially that win by 7-0 was brutal.

Simeone is actually using his usual system so I guess it is related to the players now. They seem much more concentrated on their game at the beginning of the season. This is a really important thing for Atletico Madrid to keep up with Barcelona - Real Madrid duo this time.
Do you think they can maintain their claim for the title for a long time?
It must be admitted that coach Simeone's ingenuity in maintaining his squad last season is starting to show results now and it seems that they only need to change some of the strategies or tactics they usually use. It is possible that Atletico could enter the title race this season and they are actually capable of doing it. The season is still long and they have to maintain this condition so they can compete better with Real Madrid and Barcelona. So I think Atletico have the capacity to fire up the La Liga title race.
