Atletico Madrid didn't make many changes for this season so I don't think they will do much and what happened now is surprising but for me this is only temporary...
Despite Atletico Madrid having secured just one point from their two previous LaLiga matches, I can say they are still among the top three LaLiga title contenders. Because Spanish league, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid are consistently the top contenders in LaLiga every year...
It happens, and even apart from saying teams start with poor performance and bounce back, the competition is still very early, so predictions won’t be sweet by now because we will be just doing wrong analysis...
Yeah, stuff like this happens a lot. Even if you don’t take into account some teams failing at the start and then making a comeback later, the competition level is still too low right now. So making any “optimistic” predictions at this stage doesn’t make sense, chances are our analysis would just be wrong anyway. Better to wait a bit and see how the teams actually perform over time, imho.
It’s not about if they’ll be at the top — that’s a given — the only debate is which one’s gonna actually dominate this season.
