After the interruption caused by the Spanish Civil War, Atletico had found themselves in the second division. However, due to the fact that Real Oviedo's stadium had been destroyed as a result of the fighting, they found themselves able to return to the top flight of domestic competition in 1939, after beating Osasuna in a playoff. Despite playing ...
Atletico in the 1960s were one of the most competitive teams around. At that time, in fact, Real Madrid players always recognised that their great rival was Atletico and not Barcelona. This excellent Atleti side went on to achieve success on the continent, winning the Cup Winners' Cup in 1961/61 by defeating defending champions Fiorentina in the fi...
Among the darkest moments in Atletico's history are the three lost European Cup finals - Bayern Munich in 1974 and Real Madrid in 2014 and 2016. Yet the loss to Bayern Munich actually led to Atletico participating in the Intercontinental Cup, as Bayern Munich could not fulfil that obligation. They beat Independiente de Avellaneda 2-1 on aggregate, ...
In the same way that Diego Simeone defines the recent history of Atletico, the other great name in Los Rojiblancos' history is that of Luis Aragones. He was the brain of the team in his decade as player from 1964 to 1974 and he would retire as the top scorer in the club's history, a record that he still holds today as nobody has reached his 173 off...
Atletico won the domestic cup for the first time in 1960 after overthrowing the all-powerful Real Madrid of Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas and Paco Gento. They did so at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and did the same the next year, also beating their city rivals at the Bernabeu in the 1961 final. The 1992 final was also memorable when a stellar ...
On June 26, 1987, the longest era in the history of Atletico Madrid began, the Jesus Gil era. That day, Jesus Gil y Gil won the elections to be club president by defeating Salvador Santos Campano, Agustin Cotorruelo and Enrique Sanchez de Leon. He did this by bringing in the signing of Paulo Futre, who had just won the European Cup with Porto and w...
In 1995/96, with the late Radomir Antic on the bench, Atletico Madrid won both the league title and the Copa del Rey title. They've won each tournament 10 times each, but this is the only season when they won both in the same year.
Just four years after winning the double, Los Rojiblancos descended into the hell of the second tier despite having a high-quality squad. The 1999/2000 season was plagued by all kinds of incidents, with turmoil both on and off the pitch, and it ended in relegation. Then, it took two years for the team to return to the top tier.
On May 21, 2017, Atletico said goodbye to the Estadio Vicente Calderon. For some, it was a trampling on one of the great symbols of the club, while for others it was an inevitable path towards modernity by moving to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. However, its memory will be eternal, as well as that of the man who gave him his name, the most honou...
The arrival of Simeone in the dugout in December of 2011 completely changed Atletico's position in Spain and in Europe. He has not only managed to break the duopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona in LaLiga, but, with a budget not comparable to that of the great superpowers, he has managed to leave his mark on the continent. His successes on the pitch...
