Are you for real? I don't think Madrid will be the champions again this season because they have every tools to get the job done but they lack one thing, which is team play. They are not even coordinated on like last season. We know how Atletico Madrid have been, always defending with that irritating display but this time around I think they can use this new upgrade to do something like getting the title, not that I'm certain but I believe if they continue winning their games Madrid can be the runner up while they become Champions, talking about ATM.
If not Madrid then who? Atletico? Barcelona?
The probability of Madrid returning is increasing now as time goes by, especially for the remaining half of the season, of course the problem of cooperation is actually a problem that is still very possible to be improved to be even better so it would be very wrong not to include Madrid in the list of champions again for this season.
Atletico have a chance but their winning mentality is weak while Barcelona we know what their problems are now with the current financial conditions and internal player problems that do involve some important players such as Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, not to mention de Jong's statement some time ago which made them even more inflamed.
This could make their performance even worse in this half of the season, especially now that the conditions of Madrid and Barcelona seem inversely proportional in terms of the game where Madrid was bad at the beginning of the season slowly showed its quality while Barcelona was the opposite.
