Atletico Madrid needs to make changes to compete for third place by the end of the season, and letting the previous two matches play out will make it difficult for them to perform consistently.
Sometimes teams don't start the season smoothly, and they'll constantly try to fix any shortcomings, and that's often the case with Atletico Madrid.
While I'm confident they can reach the top three by the end of the season, the team's weaknesses need to be addressed immediately by the coach, because if it continues it will make it difficult for them to catch up to the big three position..
Last year, in my opinion, he managed to establish himself well as a third wheel, even having some good matches against Real Madrid and Barcelona. He's missing that something to make the leap in quality, i can't figure out what. i sense they've really put in the effort, but something's eluding me.
