Does Atletico Madrid have the team to compete for the title, can they be consistent?

I can answer this. Yes, Atletico does have a squad to compete not just for the league title but also the league cup and Champions League. IMO they have one of the best squads in Europe. And also, yes, they can be consistent, they're not like Barcelona or RM where depend completely on one single player to lead them, they're more about teamwork.

When last did Atletico compete head to head with the top two clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title?

Last year, they finished 2nd just 7 pts behind Barca. Also, in 2016, they finished 3rd and just 3pts behind Barcelona. Overall, they've been in the top 3/top 2 over the last few seasons (and they didn't have the squad they have today which like I said it's pretty strong).

Barcelona haven't found their form yet

Nah, I don't think it's about form, it's about Messi, once he's back on the pitch, they'll go back to the old Barca we all know. Without Messi, this team in form or out of form is average mainly because Valverde is a mediocre manager.

Real Madrid weren't that convincing last season and their team haven't improved that much to match that of Barcelona irrespective of them buying hazard (although he's good, he doesn't have much goals in him. Mostly a play maker).

We were (and still are) in the rebuilding phase after Ronaldo's departure, so it's gonna take some time before the team finds their style.

Barcelona are 8th position on the table, but you should know it's only 5 points behind 1st placed Atletico and 3 points behind 2nd place Athletic Bilbao, all these could be easily covered in 2 and 1 game(s) respectively, so for now, nothing has actually been guaranteed.

Does Atletico Madrid have the team to compete for the title, can they be consistent? When last did Atletico compete head to head with the top two clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title? The La Liga season is still very fresh and also Barcelona haven't found their form yet, they did invest far too much into the team this season to lose.

Real Madrid weren't that convincing last season and their team haven't improved that much to match that of Barcelona irrespective of them buying hazard (although he's good, he doesn't have much goals in him. Mostly a play maker). The season will end in this manner Barcelona, Atletico then Real Madrid that's my prediction.

After Griezmann left, I believe that it is very difficult for Atletico to win the title.
I don't think they would be consistent till the end of the season. They are competitive (especially Joao Felix is a new star) but I believe that they don't have the leader who can lead them to victories when they have bad games.

Yes, unless in 1 or 2 games they keep losing and the others keep on winning. See what happens to Liverpool last year. Even if the differences in just one match, it decided how they end the season.

Five points must be considered a massive gap if anybody wants to win the title. Feeling confident because the difference is only '5' will cost them if they're not careful.

5 points will never be a massive gap in any league after just 3 games played If it's an underdog topping the table. I'm sure Barcelona and Barcelona will be aware of the points gap, and won't take it for granted all I was saying is that it's way too early for the title to be decided just based on those points gap.

And you should also know Liverpool led with about 7 points if not more after 18 games has been played, yet still didn't win the league.

They have already taken advantage of Barcelona's and Real Madrid's slip ups and all they have to do it maintain the momentum.

Yup. Barca and Madrid are out of their best form now. This season is probably one of the best chance for another team to win the league.

The club that utilizes the situation is Atletico Madrid. They casually lead while the Spanish league with 9 points. Real Madrid and Barcelona did not even make it into the top 4.
Well we all understand this is only temporary, but if this is the situation, surely Atletico Madrid or other clubs will get the title this season.

If any other team different from Barcelona or Real Madrid will win the title, it's going to be Atletico Madrid but it's going to be dependent on not just Atletico Madrid playing incredibly well all season, Real Madrid and Barcelona will have to be terrible all season too.

Barcelona are 8th position on the table, but you should know it's only 5 points behind 1st placed Atletico and 3 points behind 2nd place Athletic Bilbao, all these could be easily covered in 2 and 1 game(s) respectively, so for now, nothing has actually been guaranteed.

Imagine how Griezmann will feel if his previous team win the league after he left. Maybe not as bad as Coutinho but it sucks to face that reality.

Hah! Def Coutinho has it worse. He's not even a preferred starter at Barca. At LFC, he was rated really high and was a fan favorite. He would've been a hero... No, a legend. An immortal.

He blew it.

It is everyone's player to play on Barcelona or Real Madrid the most legendary clubs around the world, so he chose this path.
Indeed, he would have been a hero in Liverpool but by the time an offer from those clubs come, they don't think that they won't have any place in the starting line-up...

Probably Barcelona will win this competition this year. Wondering how De Jong will play this season.

De Jong is a great talent indeed - just watched him yesterday vs Germany, impressive kid.

And I hope everyone can compete again, which makes the Spanish League interesting again to be discussed.
I also want to not only be atl Madrid who are a tough competitor of Barcelona and Real Marid, there must be other teams who also put up a fight in the Spanish league.

Better stick to the Premier league if that's what you are hoping to happen in La Liga. Unless some of these smaller team gets crazy rich owners, don't expect them to challenge the top teams for the title. Just take a look at what happened to Man City.

La Liga is also competitive (yet not so much as they Premier League) but it is.
There are 3-4 teams that can challenge the title. The problem is that Real and Barcelona has a great popularity internaitionally so all the key players want to joing those two teams. Hence, this leads to a competitive advantage to them.

^ For Atletico to win La Liga it would need to over perform and need Real and Barca to under perform for a good part of the season... Kinda like what happened to Leicester at the EPL? Cheesy

Extreme situation with Leicester tho but you know what I mean.

Atletico Madrid have won the La Liga 10 times so far with the most recent on being in 2014 which is not bad at all... For Leicester, it was a one time thing and the EPL's top teams where way so poor that season, In fact if Arsenal had been serious, they would have won the title easily that season. Under Diego Simeone, ATM are very capable of winning it again if they show consistency.

They have already taken advantage of Barcelona's and Real Madrid's slip ups and all they have to do it maintain the momentum.

Real and Barca are under performing at this moment however I do not think it's going to continue the same. Big teams, they know they still have a long way to go. They will sort themselves. It's clear with Barca that without Messi they are a very average team. Real needs to find it's weakness too and need to work in it.

Which team do you expect to be a competitor of Real Madrid and Barcelona other than Atl Madrid!! Is it Sevilla?? Cheesy

I'm one of Real Madrid fans.. but in this season I saw Atl Madrid very burning and becoming the biggest threat to Barca and Real. Joao Felix played very well in the Atl.

Like we saw in the English premier league some seasons ago Leicester City won the prestigious league yes laliga is more of a two team race but if the few matches so far are to be put into consideration the two top dogs has had there troubles atletico Madrid has so far three wins out of three but has not be brilliantly impressive in those games.
But there won't be an upset the trophy would go to either Barcelona or Real Madrid

The league would be interesting (as it has always been) regardless of which teams are at the summit of the table.
After humiliating exits from the champions league, I would agree that Barcelona and Madrid need to bounce back this season. Also Atletico would have to become serious contenders which they were a couple of years ago.

Yes, it's true that Barcelona started the league less well. Unlike Barcelona in general, they must rise again. Neymar transfers do not take place, so all Barcelona related parties can focus back on la Liga, they must rise and start with positive results.

The team has to guard against complacency. After eight laliga titles in eleven years, it's very easy to lose focus and take victories for granted.
Atletico Madrid are also strong contenders after their perfect start to the new season.

The season still has a long way to go and there would still be lots of changes at the top of the table

I hope Barcelona can rise again.
I hope Real Madrid can rise again.
And I hope everyone can compete again, which makes the Spanish League interesting again to be discussed.
I also want to not only be atl Madrid who are a tough competitor of Barcelona and Real Marid, there must be other teams who also put up a fight in the Spanish league.
