And for the possibility of Atletico Madrid taking advantage when Barcelona and Real Madrid are inconsistent, of course it is very large, but the Atletico Madrid team must also be able to maintain consistent performance and be able to appear stronger.
If we look at the strength, I think Atletico Madrid this season is not as good as Barcelona or Real Madrid.
What has happened so far this season does not determine what will happen. Barça had also started very strongly and look at the last few games. I'm certainly glad that Atletico Madrid are in a position to challenge the other two for the league, and in the last 11 seasons they have been the only team to win two leagues, apart from Barcelona and Madrid.
Barcelona is always like that every season, where they perform very well and are dominant at the beginning of the season, but once they enter the middle of the season, their consistency drops drastically. However, for now Barcelona is at the top of the standings, so if they can immediately overcome the main cause in their squad, there is still hope for Barcelona to return to winning ways and maintain their top position.
and talking about Atletico Madrid, they are always strong competitors every season, and even though this team has only won La Liga twice, Atletico Madrid almost every season always finishes in the top 3 of the standings. and at the beginning of this season, even though Atletico did not make any player purchases, where they relied more on the squad that had been assembled for a long time, and several loan players, but so far Atletico has achieved quite good results.
In the 18th match Atletico will face Barcelona and this will be a very awaited match.
