Quinton Fortune insists Atletico Madrid can successfully defend their Primera Division title.
Atletico won the Supercup on Friday and former Manchester United midfielder Fortune says his old club can do the same in the Liga.
"This result shows to not just Real Madrid and Barcelona but the rest of La Liga that they are not going to give anyone an easy season," Fortune said after Atletico's victory at the Vicente Calderon.
"They have reached the Champions League final and won La Liga and they have definitely proved they are contenders again to win the Spanish title.
"Their system seems to be working again as they are compact, fight for every single ball and don't give you any space.
"They have so much determination and desire, are going to put up a real fight and it is going to take something out of this world to beat them."
