#3. Atletico to challenge for the title
The 2018/2019 La Liga campaign could produce another intense 2-horse battle at the top of the table. While Barcelona remain the favourites to retain their prestigious crown this term, there is no doubt they will face stiff competition from Atletico Madrid.
The Rojiblancos eclipsed their city rivals, Real Madrid to challenge Barcelona for the title last term. Even though they finished second on the table, they ensured that the Catalans fought till the very end and they will be looking forward to another shot on the crown this season.
Despite various rumours arising this summer, Atletico managed to retain their best players including the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Diego Godin, and Angel Correa while also luring Thomas Lemar and Gelson Martins to Wanda Metropolitano. With the level of quality in their squad, there is no doubt the Capital club will be strong contenders for the La Liga title this term.
After defeating Real Madrid 4-2 to win the UEFA Super Cup recently, the Rojiblancos are beaming with confidence at the moment and that could as well reflect on their La Liga campaign this season.
