It's interesting to see the three big teams in the Spanish league this season. They are Madrid, Atletico, and Barcelona. Interestingly, Atletico has the largest budget at 176 million euros. Meanwhile, Madrid has 167.5 million euros and Barcelona has only spent a quarter of their combined budget, which is 27 million euros. Is Atletico ready to be the champion? I think there is a chance. All teams have that chance. Currently, Barcelona has already lost two points due to a draw with Rayo. But remember, there are still many matches left to play. There are still other possibilities that could unfold.
You're right that Atletico Madrid spent a significant amount of money in this transfer window. Unfortunately, I haven't seen Atletico Madrid perform well in the three La Liga matches they've played so far. So, with that in mind, I think Atletico Madrid's chances of winning La Liga are probably not as good as Barcelona or Real Madrid's. The proof is that in the three matches they've played so far, they haven't managed to win a single one. I think, with the quality players Atletico Madrid currently have, their performance is quite poor.
So, if Atletico Madrid still can't improve their performance in future matches, I think it will be a huge loss for Atletico Madrid. Speaking of Real Madrid, I think they're probably the most consistent team in terms of performance compared to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. So, with that in mind, I think it's only natural that Real Madrid has the greatest potential to win La Liga. As for Barcelona, I think while they haven't made many signings in this transfer window, their performance has been quite good. While it's true that Barcelona drew against Rayo, they're still the favorites to win La Liga again this season.
