They are less of contenders for the La Liga title, from beating Barcelona 2:0 to losing in the final minutes with 2 goals separating the scores. There are behaviors you see from teams that raise a second thought about whether they fit to contend among the best teams playing in the league. I don't want to say much to satisfy myself, Atletico Madrid may be in good form, but it goes past that if they want to win the title. Surprisingly Barcelona and Real Madrid, who still continue their fight for the Champions League may be able to pull more points than Atletico Madrid.
How can Atletico be a contender for the La Liga title at this moment? In my opinion, they can no longer play as well as Barcelona and Real Madrid. So maybe Atletico Madrid will be a chance for them to win the title next season if they are able to try harder than they are now. Maybe Atletico Madrid have nothing to be disappointed about because they will have to commit to playing much more correctly in the future. I think one thing that might be honorable for Atletico Madrid is that they are able to establish themselves among the top teams for the time being in the La Liga season. Anyway congratulations in advance to the Barcelona team, they will be able to win the next match.
Atletico Madrid's defeat against Barcelona did make us realize that Barcelona is certainly stronger than Atletico Madrid and of course currently the one who deserves to compete closely with Barcelona is Real Madrid. but of course it can be said that there is still hope for Atletico Madrid to compete for the trophy because there are still several matches that will be played by all teams and it is also possible that Barcelona and Real Madrid will encounter obstacles when competing until finally Atletico Madrid can beat them.
but of course it is possible that next season there is a good opportunity for Atletico Madrid if they want to become champions because this season it will definitely be difficult for Atletico to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona. but yes, currently Atletico is lucky because they will potentially finish in 3rd place unlike last season where Atletico Madrid finished in 4th place because Girona managed to finish in 3rd place.
yes Barcelona is indeed great and of course there is great potential for victory to be created in the upcoming match for Barcelona.
