I think it's too early to judge any team just after round 1, Real Madrid and Barcelona are looking again into very good form, but Atletico Madrid have ability to give tough time there, none of other team would be able to show more consistent performance like the top clubs, after few weeks we would be able to predict the future of this league.
I think it's not too early, but you can see the data the Spanish league, Real Madrid and Barcelona is always a candidate to become the Spanish league champions every season. Atletico Madrid just as entertainment, so that competition to champion is not boring.
atletico madrid in recent years is the same level of Barca and Real Madrid .
It is no longer a surprise but it is a certainty in the European football scene. perhaps will not have the money or the players of Barcelona or Real Madrid but makes up with his coach Simeone who is the real top player 0f Atletico madrid
The same level? I dont think that they belong on the same level anyway. Atletico madrid is not as good as real madrid or barcelona, they are much luckier but not better. Last season they were the team with less goal conceded either in home or away and yet they couldnt be the winner of the league
2 finals of champion's league and 1 liga won the last 3 years, I think it isn't just luck . These results are the result of programming and merit of an excellent coach.
atletico is team maybe in some aspect better then ream and barca but they never complete use that in game
perhaps this will be season for them to finally take so long waited champion league but competition is very hard this year
Atletico Madrid is not the same as Real Madrid and Barcelona, but honestly Atletico Madrid better, because they do not have a squad of great value compared Barca and real. if Atletico able to buy star players like Barca and real, it is not likely they will be gigantic la Liga even Europe.
I'm not really sure that Atletico will be a gigantic team like you said if Atletico buy great players like Madrid and Barca. So far, Atletico is a team that focus on teamwork rather than on individual skill. If they bought great players, I'm afraid that they will be a bad team instead of great team.
