Atletico and Barcelona are the team in the title race i believe will maintain consistency. At the same time i put more trust on Atlectico Madrid to win the title. Dont get me wrong i am not against Barcelona or Real Madrid. Am allowed to have a favorite right? So for this season Atlectico Madrid is my favorite club to win the league. If it is possible they should win Real Madrid today in the Champions League.
I hope you also didn't miss the Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid match yesterday in the Champions League where the result was a defeat for Atletico Madrid. Anyone can choose a favorite team that they want to like and hope to be able to win La Liga this time, but everyone also has to see which team they are ignoring so that there is a logical thought that is born for their own mind. Actually I also admit that Atletico Madrid is much better this season than last season, but if the obstacles are Barcelona and Real Madrid, it will never be easy for any team, including Atletico Madrid itself.
The first match against Real Madrid was a difficult one for Atletico, but they managed to score a goal and not lose by a big score... Now the difference is only one goal and there will be a return game where everything will be decided... I think that Real and Atletico will reach the penalty shootout, because in the return game Atletico can win the same way as Real did with a one goal difference...
Nothing should be ruled out entirely because this particular game is still very open, as we all knows, atletico madrid is way more stronger at home than any other place, so their is a higher probability of them winning real madrid on their own turf just as you have already said, it might goes to penalty shoot out, but it might not, nothing is won or lost yet, the tie is still very open, and am very sure that real madrid are quite aware of that, the biggest downfall of real madrid is them thinking that they already have one foot in the quarter finals of this year uefa champions league, they need to understand that they still have a lot of work to do in the reverse fixture of this game, so this reverse fixture will be very tough, and it's that kind of games that might keep you at the edge of your seat all through, let's just wait and look how the game will play out because it's not going to be easy for both sides in the reverse fixture, but any of them that progresses to the next round will be very much deserving because it's not easy scaling through against such an opposition.
