This season has to be more competitive with Real Madrid's current performance, having won all three of their past matches. It is no news that there have being significant changes in Real Madrid's attack as they have registered six goals in their last three games and they maintain the first position in the LaLiga standings.
I believe with recent improvements and coordination, if Real Madrid remain consistent in their performance they would definitely win the league title this season, though with little resistance from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid being the major opposition in the league title but i definitely think that Real Madrid would be winning a title this season as last season recorded their worst season in a long while.
As I said in a previous comment, it is too early in the league to draw any conclusions. Last year, Madrid also started in first place, and it was not until well into the second half of the league that Barcelona came back strong. What Madrid does have is a much better financial situation than Barcelona, which did not prevent Barça from winning the league last year, but it is extra pressure that can have an influence.
