Real Madrid and Barcelona have been in a rivalry for many years. As you said, even if there were years when Atletico Madrid was included in the race, we were usually watching a championship race between the two. I must say that the times I enjoyed the most for myself were the times between Messi and Ronaldo. I think this season will be enjoyable as well, apart from the previous seasons.
The competition in La Liga is always dominated by these two classic teams, even though Atletico Madrid broke the championship tie, which was always won by the two teams, but it only happened for one season and did not happen in a row. In fact, if only two teams always dominate, of course the quality of the league will decline and become boring, but what is unique is that Real Madrid and Barcelona can always make waves in the transfer market so that the popularity of the league continues to increase. Yes, maybe in my era the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi was always an interesting thing to enjoy, maybe in the previous era there were also antagonist actors who made the La Liga stage quite entertaining. This season we will also see talented young players like Bellingham who is quite phenomenal with Real Madrid.
When we talk about La Liga, we can't avoid the Real Madrid and Barcelona teams, especially with the El Clasico match which we always look forward to because the El Clasico match can always determine who will be the La Liga champion. This continues to happen even before the era of Messi and Ronaldo until now.
In my opinion, the only person who can destroy the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Spanish league this season is Atletico Madrid, while other clubs such as Athletic Bilbao, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Villareal will only fight for the top 4 positions in the final standings of the Spanish league this season. This. Hopefully the Spanish league this season can be more competitive, so that the dominance of Barcelona and Real Madrid will be broken. I myself really miss Atletico Madrid becoming Laliga champions, but the question is, can they be consistent in every match?
