Atletico Madrid:
Atletico Madrid is in 4th place in the ranking with 27 points accumulated so far and does not seem to have the necessary strength to fight for the title this season.

Atletico Madrid finished the year 2022 with a victory at home, score 2-0 against Elche and the waters calmed a little after the series of three consecutive games in which Atletico obtained only one point, thanks to the draw with Espanyol at home, score 1- 1.
Barcelona:
FC Barcelona finished 2022 in first place in LaLiga with 38 points, being tied with Real Madrid, but with a better goal difference, having only conceded six goals in 15 games. In the last match of 2022, Barcelona ended the match played at home with Espanyol in a tie, score 1-1 and was close to losing the first place but also missed the chance to have two points more than the rival in the 2nd place, Real madrid. On the road, Barcelona has five victories and one defeat, in the classic derby with Real Madrid, score 3-1.
