For the Champions League yeah I can say they started really poorly but they are progressing for a few weeks. But when it comes to the La Liga, I believe they are really strong my friend.

They have a much better form than Barcelona and Real Madrid both for quite a long time. They are on a winning streak of 6 games in the La Liga now. The only weaker area could be said to be their scoring strength. The number of goals is less than the other 2 rivals. However they have the best defense among them. Honestly I see Simeone's students as serious title contenders here now.
Let's see what Barcelona will do tonight. I assume it would be an easy win over Leganes.
Honestly, Atletico Madrid is consistent recently, and I will not even be surprised if I see them topping the La Liga table, as Barcelona and Real Madrid are not consistent recently. Before, I thought that Atletico Madrid might not have a chance to move to second or first position, but the way Real Madrid and Barcelona are losing points lately could give Atletico Madrid the opportunity to move to the top of the table.
Currently, they are in second place, and there isn’t much points difference between them and Barcelona unless Barcelona wins today's match. Additionally, Atletico Madrid has one outstanding match to play, and with that, they might even move to the first position in time. Let’s just wait and see what happens in the upcoming matches.
