The last time Atletico Madrid gets the title on season 2020/2021 and since that they can finish at top 4 which i think this is good achievement and stable but to says they're as the contender of Real Madrid or Barcelona i think it's quite hard but the new season hasn't beginning yet so we still don't know whether Atletico Madrid can broke the domination of those teams or not but this summer Atletico Madrid movement to buy new players is very active and their expensive recruitment is Álex Baena from Villarreal with 42 million price tag
For now, and for the next few seasons, it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to break this dominance. This doesn't mean underestimating Atletico Madrid, but we can compare the experience and quality of the players at Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid, which are vastly different. Most importantly, this experience gives the players the confidence they need to reach the top of the standings each season. On the other hand, in previous seasons, Atletico Madrid struggled to compete for titles due to a busy match schedule and a lack of experience at the top of the standings, making it difficult for Atletico Madrid to maintain consistency.
It is very difficult for Atletico Madrid to win the title from the position that Real Madrid and Barcelona are in now. This is not to underestimate Atletico Madrid, but in terms of team strength and experience, Atletico Madrid is a little weaker than these two teams. Atletico Madrid occupied the top spot last season, but they could not hold it in the end. They lack some consistency and have some shortcomings in playing well under pressure. In that respect, Real Madrid and Barcelona will definitely be ahead. The upcoming season has not started yet, but considering their recent form, Atletico Madrid will fail to build a strong competition with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Yes, it's difficult for Atletico Madrid to win the La Liga title. They can win if Barcelona and Real Madrid perform poorly throughout the season. That's when Atletico Madrid can win. Ten years ago, they were able to break the dominance of Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, in subsequent seasons, up until now, they have only been able to compete in second and third place.
There may be several reasons why they are struggling to win the title. They are financially inferior to Barcelona and Real Madrid, who can recruit and retain star players. So far, Atletico has frequently produced new star players, only to sell them. So, looking at the preparations of every club in La Liga right now, especially Barcelona and Real Madrid, it's certain that Atletico Madrid will also struggle to compete for the La Liga title this season.
