They have a better selection of players for this season, but when it comes to the schedule, I don't think the situation will be much different as usual. If Atletico play against a club that is almost at the same level or even bigger than them, Simeone will not try to play openly and will only apply a defensive schedule as they always do in every season.

Atletico have a pretty good squad, it's just that sometimes the schedule is always unattractive, although currently Atletico are trying little by little, but obviously changes like this cannot change quickly.
It's just that assuming the current changes are quite positive then I think this match will become more interesting where this is not only a derby but also this is a good repetition for them because after all a derby with a rival club plus proving yourself will always be interesting but Madrid is still the favorite if the comparison is Atletico.
