It is still possible to happen in the second half of the season, what Hansi Flick has shown at the beginning of the season is certainly a guideline if they also do the same thing and regarding the decline in Barcelona's performance at this time, it is inseparable from several of their main players who are injured so that Hansi Flick has to make several changes so that it has a big impact on the team's performance.

Now with the entry of Atletico Madrid into the competition for the title, La Liga is getting fiercer and that is also a reference for Barcelona to be able to develop and improve their performance in the second half of the season, I am still sure that Barcelona still has the same percentage as Atletico Madrid and also Real Madrid to win the La Liga title this season.

I think Barcelona still have a chance to go top if they can prepare for the upcoming matches and play more aggressively. Barcelona are 3 points behind Atletico Madrid which is not a big gap. They are well prepared ahead of their match against Barbastro on next match and are trying to sign one of their best forwards, Olmo, for the new year but their financial situation has hampered that effort and the court ban. Andreas Christensen has been out for a long time due to injury which has affected the team a bit and Olmo could be given a temporary registration to make up for the shortfall in the current team's performance. However, the legal complications of signing him directly due to the annual budget for the season have arisen. Now it is up to them to see how positive they can be about their ability to pull the team out of this predicament.

Barcelona had shown extraordinary performance at the start of the season, at that time almost everyone believed they had ended their difficult times after being handled by Hansi Flick. But now what happened after entering the end of the first half of the season, they seemed to have lost their way and had difficulty getting wins.
Need to improve their performance to maintain the title race with Real Madrid and Atletico, they still have time to change everything and Hansi Flick must return his team's performance to the beginning of the season.

If Barcelona want to achieve their goal and win the La Liga title, they must start their long journey from the present time. Moreover, they will not be able to go with the current performance of Barcelona, because their current situation is not strong at all, but rather weak. They will have to change their game sufficiently. If they can tighten their bets, maybe they will be able to change their position to win the title. Everything is possible in football, but of course every player has to work hard, otherwise it is not possible to change their position in any way. Since Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are currently at the top, Barcelona will have to strengthen their journey at the moment, but winning the title is possible.

From what you said i think the league is some how open for any body at the moment and I can't say ATM can make it to the last day of the campaign because they hardly score more than a goal unless they first concede couple with fact that they can't stay consistent for 5 games. The position they are occupying now is a deserving one and it still pains me that the Barcelona side lost the number 1 spot to a team nobody thought would get to where they are now. If you believe Barcelona can get that position back is never going to happen unless ATM and Real Madrid start making mistakes by losing games unnecessarily, it might happen.

Atletico Madrid does that sometimes, whenever other two does not so great, they show up and do great. With Barcelona failing to register Olmo, they are going to literally miss him all season long, for a team that's already not doing great, I am not sure if they will recover at all. So I think the only one left for a title race would be Real Madrid, and they are doing great and the momentum looks great, they will most probably beat Valencia too. I do not know what ATM will do, and if they can keep up, but they ar looking great, and if Real Madrid has any issues, then ATM has what it takes to win, they just need to keep going the way they are, and wait for Real Madrid to fumble.

Atletico Madrid has reached a different level now, coach Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid players are very harmonious, it can be seen that the strategy made by the coach can be maximised by his players to produce goal after goal to become a victory, this is certainly an extraordinary achievement and it's nice to see Atletico Madrid growing and getting stronger until it is difficult to beat at this time.

After beating Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid is now at the top of the Laliga standings. I think Atletico Madrid deserves this right now. Because Atletico Madrid has performed quite well this season. But talking about whether Atletico Madrid will be able to maintain its position at the top of the standings until the end of the season, I also can't say that Atletico Madrid is capable of doing it. Because this season is still quite long, and now it's only been half the season. So with this, of course anything can happen in the Laliga standings. Moreover, Atletico Madrid's points tally with Real Madrid and Barcelona can be said to be still very slim at the moment. So it can be confirmed that Atletico Madrid's current position cannot be said to be safe.

Because it could be that Real Madrid or Barcelona again take the top position from Atletico Madrid. Even though it is true that currently Barcelona is experiencing a slight decline in performance, it still cannot be concluded that Barcelona will not rise again. Because after this winter break, Barcelona could return with its best performance like at the start of the season. If this happens, I think Atletico Madrid's position could really be threatened again at the top of the standings. Therefore, if Atletico Madrid wants to stay at the top of the standings until the end of the season and become champions, I think it takes more than strong determination to get it. The point is that all aspects must really be done well by Atletico Madrid. Such as maintaining the fitness of the players, improving the skills of the players, and maintaining consistent good performance. If Atletico Madrid can do all that, the possibility of becoming champions in Laliga, I think could be quite big.

Atletico Madrid can be a pain in the *$$ when they start making those who wants to win the league title be at the state of confusion (by making them drop important points) but this is a different story altogether because they're now making a way to winning the league title and the former league leaders that's Barcelona, has left that spot for them and it would be very hard for them to get to the top again and it seems the Atletico Madrid side might win it this season because this is the season I have seen them becoming serious in a very long while, now the question is, "can they keep up with this winning mentality till the end of the season to call themselves champions of Spain"?

It's not only about what Barcelona can do, can Atletico run faster than their shadow. That's what bothers me right now. Barcelona lost their game last weekend and Atletico seems to have fly high and to be at disadvantage, they have played their 19 game while the tow top has not played their own but even as I'm looking at this, even if they win their next game, they are not that far, remember Barcelona gave Real Madrid 9 point in gap but look at the table view now.

I like how Atletico has managed their self to lose just one game since the beginning of the season but how long can they last? We are on break right now and January is tomorrow, there is definitely going to be a new show come 2025, where every team will be crawling and fighting to be in a better place, nobody will want to be shadow. My mind is telling me that Real Madrid are going to soon take that place and that might weaken Atletico even more unless they don't lose any match.

How did Flick make good signings this season? He only got Olmo who is currently struggling to be registered with La liga. He has had to use kids to play most part of the season and he's done relatively well with what he's got so ai don't agree that he was overhyped. Nobody even expected him to do so well in the short term considering he signed only one player.
Even Ancelotti got only Mbappe, despite losing Kroos. Of all the three managers, Simeone is the manager who signed the most players and spent the most money, so I don't agree with what you say.

In my opinion, Barcelona and Real Madrid slacked that's why Atletico is at the top. I'm not saying they don't deserve it but if Barcelona has not lost form and lost so many matches, I think they could have been at the top with 9 points difference if not more.
When Atletico and Barcelona played, due to the wastefulness of Barcelona, they lost that game, not because ATM played exceptionally well.
I agree that they can win the league this season, but its only because the other 2 teams are not in a good form, if they both pick up form this second half of the season, I don't think Atletico will see  2nd position at the end of the season. 

That’s means Barcelona have a long journey to do if really that they want their aim is to win the La Liga tittle, because there currently performances can’t not lead them go any where in this league they need to tight up their bet more than what they’ve done before; for them to get out of their currently situation.

I understand that in football everything is possible and changes can come at anytime that they can able to display a powerful performances, but I don’t have hope for Barcelona that they’ll get it right to win this La Liga league title this  season; because Atletico have already occupied the top of the table with higher points.

The odds are ok fit bet for because I don’t think Madrid will misuse this opportunity they have to take the lead of the Laliga table even though Atletico Madrid also have one outstanding match to be played.

If Real Madrid win the match against Valencia which is almost possible, they will have 43 points which will make them five points ahead of Barcelona, and just two points above Atletico Madrid; if they take the lead, they will have all the motivation to keep moving which is what they are known for, and it will be too late for Barcelona to overtake them, unless if Atletico Madrid have consistency and end up winning their outstanding match.

The problem is the extent to which now their mentality speaks because in the end becoming a champion club is certainly not easy because it must have a very good mentality to be able to continue to maintain the top position of the standings where the push from other clubs in this case competitors is always very tight especially for La Liga always has 2 giant clubs that are loyal to fight for this position so that when Atletico's mentality deteriorates over time then in the end the champions will be difficult for them to get.

At the moment their momentum is very good but in the end we still have half the season left where this is a season that will be very long if indeed their goal is the trophy. Atletico are sometimes difficult to predict when they have a good performance that immediately turns into an unexpected performance and now Simeone must be able to minimize that because when this happens then they are sure to lose their current position especially when Madrid is also now starting to return to good form.

That will be a tough thing for Athletico Madrid to win the laliga because Barcelona and Real Madrid will come back with full force and I'm sure they won't make Athletico Madrid get the title because I'm sure they will definitely lose some games, they can't finish the league without losing. Barcelona will do anything possible to win them in the second leg if they meet, let's see how the season goes, but I still don't believe Athletico Madrid can make it this season to win the And Madrid will play its outstanding game on Friday, and I am sure Real Madrid will try their hardest to earn three points in the game and top the league table, let's see if Real Madrid will achieve there goals against Valencia and becoming to top in the league and Ancelotti will do anything possible to be more dominant in the league without losing games anymore in the league and continue topping the league this season because is only Madrid am sure on, if they top league he will be very hard to drop down and make other club overtake them in the league table.

Well, it's actually still very early for anyone to conclude whether Atletico Madrid will take the title of this season's La Liga or not but the fact that they've taken their games to another level is not arguable. Atletico have tried several times to take this league but have only succeeded in 11 of these titles including in the recent time of 2020, however, they're performance since then have not given them that opportunity afterwards.

Now that they've gotten the chance to remain at the table even with the slightest chance of a point difference against the real Madrid they can make their dreams come through once more if they can maintain same position for the couple of the matches left but I know for a league like La Liga the chances are extremely slim.

Previously ATM was not much talked about as a tough challenger because maybe at the beginning of the season they started the season with less than satisfactory results, but now it's different, slowly but surely Simeone troops continue to climb position after position in the standings until finally they are currently at the top, it can be said that they can dominate this season if the consistency that is currently shown can be maintained well until the end of the season. But what is clear is that the competition to win the title will not be easy because the difference in points between the top 3 teams is not far. Thus, Real, Barca, and ATM are required to get full points because if they experience just one defeat or end in a draw, then automatically their positions will be taken over by each other.

There's only one game scheduled in for this weekend (Friday), it's the outstanding game from match-day 12 between Valencia and Real Madrid.
Odds are as follows (per Duelbits):
Valencia: x7.50
Draw: x4.75
Real Madrid: x1.40

I think the odds for Real winning are pretty decent and I don't expect any surprises on Fri, but both teams tend to perform much better at home, so there's a risk Valencia could steal some points and we could see a draw. But if Real wins, they'd move to the top of the table, at least temporarily, as Atletico would have one less game played.

The adaptation period was unusually long, we are talking about professionals who are paid millions.
I am sincerely disappointed with Mbappe, also in view of what is said that he has a mess in the dressroom
Honestly you can also be the new Maradona, but if you break the dressroom, as a coach I would throw you out of the squad

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Atlético Madrid win the La Liga title this season with the way Atlético Madrid are currently performing. 
At the beginning of the season, Atletico Madrid may have been underrated by most people as the team has not performed very well in La Liga for the past few seasons, but we have to say that they have certainly managed to put in their best performance this season. They have already secured the number one position in the points table, leaving behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, the end of the season has not yet come, so Atletico Madrid must continue this performance until the end of the season. If Atletico Madrid lose consistency in good performance in the middle, they will not be able to win the title.
