Just voted on the poll and viewed the current result, it's surprising no one has voted for Atletico Madrid to win the league title this season, while Sevilla and Valencia has gotten picked (most likely by club fans).
I think Atletico do stand a very big chance this season to challenge for the title and make the race exciting.
Barcelona of course leads the poll, and after eight league titles in eleven years you would expect so.

I remember a couple of people here stating that Joao Felix was an overrated inexperience kid whose price tag was going to be a waste of Money for Atletico Madrid but as things are, considering the Preseason matches too, kid has been so impressive.
I was one of them and I am not afraid to admit I was wrong. 120m still looks a bit much for unproven player but I must say Felix really impressed me at the start of season. If he continues like this he will quickly pay off his transfer fee.
So last night's results told us what, except the teams people are thinking will have an outside chance of winning the league, are confirming the hype. No surprises here at all, unlike Granada hitting 4 at Villareal last night. Joao Felix sort of impressed too I guess, mostly quiet but he had that solo run leading to a penalty, so Atletico will feel they have a chance.
818 days since Real last topped Barca in league table, by the way.

And if he continues like this, Atletico Madrid won't even feel like they miss Griezmann at all.
I believe in Diego Simeone, he has the ability to bring out the best in players and in a couple of years, Felix will be targeted by most major clubs across Europe
Off for a new start
Up next will either be Dembele or Malcom. Players are failing to make a mark in Barcelona and finally having to go some where.
What could be happening?
Is it that the most recent coaches have been clueless about how to grow talent and improve on the new payers' confidence?
Remember
Arda Turan and Paco Alcacer?
This year started well for Real Madrid as they won against a losing game that Barcelona made a false step.
In this league usually the ones that start with the right foot they continue to do well but we have to see how it will go.
I believe Real Madrid will be the favourite to win the league this year.

It really hurts me as a Barca fan to see the way the team played last night, getting desperate with their shots even though they actually had the game in control. Even took me so long to finally write about it.
This was a long time in the signs already of course and we really need fresh blood. Fans say luckily Real are also in decline, but we forget to respect others like Athletico and Sevilla.

In my opinion, it's not good and healthy when one team depends so much on one player.
Messi is probably one of the 3 the best players in soccer history but he is not young any more.
How long he can still play?
What will happen with Barca when Messi retire?
Who can replace Messi?
Atletico are kind of the dark horse among the top three Spanish teams, they had an incredible summer transfer window, despite losing their best player to Barcelona, (and maybe having to over pay for one of their sign-ins.
Then again, it's just one game and the season is going to be a long protracted one.

It looks promising for Atletico Madrid, they certainly have chance to win league this year, both Barcelona and real Madrid don't look invincible.Joao Alex will need some time to get used to Atletico Madrid, it wasnt easy game for him last night, defenders really focused on him.
Of those new guys, i liked Tripper too, he was very good.
Till 2 months ago I used to guess Real Madrid will be the champions of 2019-20. I expected Zidan to manage to win this season with. But now my mind has changed a bit. I still believe there's aprobability that Real Madrid will make it. But I don't faith in Real Madrid as much as before. Real Madrid's pre-season results were really awful. It doesn't seem that Luka Jovic can be a big goal scorer.
I also expected Paul Pogba to be brought to Real Madrid. So, I think, there will be problems in midfield too.
Now I think Atletico and Barcelona have greater chance of winning this season of La liga. It's really difficult for me to choose one of these two teams.

Real Madrid has bought a lot of new players during the transfer window.
They will need time to perform at their best, so all we can do is to give them time.
I don't think that Barcelona is going to win the title again this season. I expect them to have problems in their defense and concede a lot of goals.

Yes, Sooner or later Lionel Messi will retire and most probably what is now happening for Real Madrid after Cristiano Ronaldo will happen for Barcelona too. But I am sure that effect won't be permanent. Barcelona is a big club with great academies. I expect them to manage to find an alternative. But it will probably take some times.

Are there no great young players on Barca squad? Why not promote them instead of looking for players to buy?
Sometimes I wonder why these clubs have their young squad or school if they never use the players in the end.

There's Puig, Oriel, Alena who are promising young talents. But the board has not been as efficient in managing young talents as it did a decade ago. Xavi Simon's was lost to PSG recently and others as well. The team now wants to buy talent rather than build.
But I'm not concerned much about loss of Simmons. Yeah, he is great talent, but when 16 old teenager lesves team just to get a bit more money, it shows that not everything is ok with his attitude. But knowing that his agent is Mino Raiola it's not surprising...
Betis loss cost me some money. They got very early red card and weren't able to play good football against Valladolid. Not the best day for me, because also bet on Chelsea win earlier today. Hope thst at least Atletico will win. 20 minutes left and they're leading just 1:0.
Joao Felix game was impressive in pre-season.
Now it's only starting for the first week of la league, he will surely show it the highest level as the price.

For sure, I truly believe in him in my opinion he can be a Balòon d'Or in two or three years.
Fun match now, 10 vs 10
It will be a fast game now, watch it if you can.
Watching Atletico right now, and mister 120M Joao Felix, nothing impressive so far.
The expectation on this player is on very high level.
By the way Atletico is winning now with a Morata's Goal.

Thats the thing with training players from the youth, in the end, things doesn't always pan out the way that you may want them to, Even with the La Masia academy their best exports so far are Messi, Iniest and Xavi trio and with the competitiveness of the La Liga, one can't simply wait for these players to develop and have to buy.
In some way money has ruined the tradition of having homegrown players especially in those top clubs. Clubs are now looking at investing in already made players who also have a lot of hype when it comes to sponsorship deals and other sources of revenue like Shirt sales.Sometimes I wonder why these clubs have their young squad or school if they never use the players in the end.

Top clubs in the top leagues simply don't have that patience anymore to wait for a player to develop for 5-6 years from childhood and the most painful thing is to have your player develop only for him to be bought off by another club.
Look at Arsenal, they even don't produce young great talent anymore because of that.
The few clubs that try to do that get their players bought off as soon as they show some signs of a brighter future. Clubs like Dortmund, Monaco and the latest Victim being Ajax have all suffered the same fate.

Why do you have to buy?
Because that's the instant way to get great players in football. If a club buys a well-known and great player, there is definitely an added value to the sale of merchandise. You can't just hope in the academy, because it certainly takes time for someone to develop again.
