A Review On Atletico Madrid FC
Atletico Madrid is a city rival club with Real Madrid, but with a record that is not as bright as its city-mates.
Los Colchoneros, nicknamed Atletico Madrid, are still struggling to talk more domestically and in Europe after winning the last league title in 1996. Under Quique Sanchez Flores, Atletico won their first European trophy since 1962 when they beat Fulham 2-1 in the final of the Europa League. In addition, they also reached the final of the Copa del Rey despite losing to Sevilla.
