Diego Simeone continues to make Atletico competitive against all odds. I hope they win the league this season after failing to defend it the last time out.

He is the most expensive manager in the world for a reason. I would love ATM to be competitive but as a Madridista my eyes want to see the league trophy end up in Bernabeu.
Well, as a neutral, I've always loved competitive leagues. A three-way battle for the league will be interesting. We've not had Real, Barca and Atletico going for it all at once in recent times. It's always been two teams, or just one strolling to the title like Madrid did last season.
To be honest I also want Madrid to face challenges. LaLiga is going stronger and stronger. Sevilla is a solid team as well as Villarreal. Valencia is already on the way of rebuilding under the Mighty Gattuso. I hope title race this season would be interesting.
I hope the traditionally tough teams like Villarreal, Valencia and Sevilla can get back to being really tough to beat. Their presence means La Liga won't be decided by whatever happens in the Clasico.
Yes, that's what we all want. To be honest, LaLiga is underrated compared to EPL. Barcelona drew against Rayo, and Madrid lost many times against the relegation zone teams. Villareal won Europa. Cucurella was an outcast who seemed to be a star in EPL. It's all media doing. The title race is always between two teams in EPL for the last few seasons.
If the EPL was that great their top teams will win the Champions League every single year. What they have compared to other leagues is a very functioning media. EPL is the most watched league in the world, every one is talking about them.
I do enjoy Bundesliga matches compared to a lot of EPL matches, but very few people outside Germany watches the German league.
Javier Tebas has done well with the way he marketed the El Clasico. Losing Messi and Ronaldo definitely affected the league.
Barcelona and Madrid is too big for other Spanish team now the same goes for Mancity and Liverpool (not totally) in England. To keep the balance Chelsea and Arsenal and Spurs are thriving and Manu will join soon. But the same can't happen in LaLiga. If you put Elclasico madness in England same will happen in England because they are too big for players and supporters. Everyone wants to taste that glory.
