Atletico Madrid - 4.5

Atletico Madrid had the best transfer window in all of La Liga. They made sensational additions to the already strong squad with Rodrigo, Lemar, and Kalicinic. These signings will provide Atletico with a lot of skill and talent, making them stronger than they were before.

However, the signings are not what gives Atletico a rating of 4.5. With many expecting the main man Griezmann to leave, and a lot of sources claiming the deal is done, Griezmann decided to stay in Atletico. This gave them a huge morale boost. Retaining Griezmann was not the only good thing. They also managed to keep hold of Captain Godin, Super-keeper Oblak, and exciting youngsters Giminez and Lucas- all of them who were in high demand.

Atletico Madrid has carried out excellent business in the market, and now look the best Atletico team in recent years. They are serious contenders for the La Liga and UCL now.

Barcelona - 4.0

FC Barcelona have insane depth

Barcelona acquired three youngsters with a lot of potential by bringing in Lenglet, Arthur, and Malcom.

Lenglet can turn out to be a world-class center back if mentored right and could be the replacement of Pique. Arthur is showing signs of a play style like the legendary Xavi Hernandez, who Barcelona have desperately looked to replace for quite a while now. They finally may have found the right man. Barça got Malcom right under the noses of Roma, and he is a huge prospect. He can turn out to be a very great winger for Barcelona. Barca also got Vidal, an experienced and quality midfielder who will add stability in the midfield as the youngsters get nurtured.

Barçelona got rid of extra players like Gomes, Aleix, and Digne. They sold Paulinho for 50 million euros, which is excellent business. Barçelona have managed to add depth to the team and have started to build a future in the same window.

Barçelona might have the best squad in the world. So, they definitely will aspire to win all the possible trophies they compete for this season.

Real Madrid - 3.0

Real Madrid lost their main man

Real Madrid and the world suffered a massive shock when Ronaldo left for Juventus. They lost their main man, and they haven’t signed a Galactico to replace him. People would expect Real to have a low rating.

However, Real Madrid have had a smart transfer window. Rather than panicking and bringing in expensive players, they went for a youngster with massive potential in the form of Vinicius Jr. They have also changed the system to make up for the loss of Cristiano.

They managed to acquire a world class keeper by signing Courtois. Now, they have two great keepers competing for the starting place. Real Madrid have made a system which favors players like Isco, Modric, Kroos, Benzema, and Bale. They did lose the Supercup, but that was only their first match.

Since then, Real Madrid have looked strong like always and will be out to compete like they do every year. They get a 3, only because the loss of Cristiano can’t be completely ignored. However, Real Madrid look as good as always, and underestimating them will be a grave mistake no team will want to make.
