I dont fear Atletico, I think they are like in 2012/13, the year before or even last season. They will run out of steam and will start dropping points post january.
For a 2014 type season they need a perfect season and a relatively weak Barca/Real not going 90+ points.
I give them a much better chance for the copa and cl. Over two games they can take anyone on a good night.
Bad argument.
Barcelona won the Liga more or less at this time in 2012/13 season and were way ahead of Madrid & Atleti.
And unlike today, where Atleti are considered as top 5 team in Europe, they weren't that good back then.
Atlético had to beat Barca away on the last day to win the league and did.
The Madrid team had a perfect season in 2013/14 indeed, but our decline started right after January.
Before that, many praised Barcelona while Atleti were able to keep up with us.
And Ancelotti has never been known for winning league titles, only 3 league titles in his 20 years as manager speaks for itself.
Since Atleti has manage to improve their bench significally this summer (just compare to our bench), a weakness they had previously.
So they are likely to not dropping points post january.
There's no reason to underestimate them.
Still, Atletico seemed stronger than they are now and we definitely are. I will start worrying when its late mach and they are still close.
Atlético are no different like Real Madrid, both of them are dangerious contesters to us for the La Liga title.
