Atletico de Madrid is already out of the title race all they need now is just to maintain there position for next champions league, they were doing well before now even to the point that they top the league for sometime and later fall out and Real Madrid and Barcelona has shattered there dream and they have weaken there strength this season . Real Madrid and Barcelona are really in a competition this season, Barcelona has win them how many times this season let see what will happen in there next meeting, I do know is not going to be easy.
This is still too early to claim. Now that Atletico Madrid are out of the much demanding Champion's league in terms of player mentality and fitness, they could concentrate so much in the domestic league and turn things around. I still see Real Madrid and Barcelona losing points at a certain stage. Atletico Madrid can capitalize on that on a good season. Let watch how the season winds down.
These teams concentrate on all competitions and while it is correct that being out of competition means more resources for another competition, it is not as if they have a fixed hierarchy which competition to let go and which not. The biggest triumph is not to win one competition, but to win it all. That is the real challenge. Everyone likes to talk about having won the Champions League in year X, but being able to say you won it all, like every single trophy, is another level of respect that will come towards the players and the coaches.
