Atlético Madrid

Club Atlético de Madrid SAD, a traditional Spanish club from Madrid that plays its home games at the 54,851 capacity Estadio Vicente Calderón and was founded on April 26, 1903, is one of the most famous football teams in Spain with fans all over Europe, as they are known for their victories known in many international competitions, including two UEFA Champions League victories (1997 and 1999). The most recent success came as Los Colchoneros beat Liverpool 1-0, thanks in large part to another goal from none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored his 250th league goal and placed third among European football leagues secured. The club colors are red and white, which is why the Spanish equivalent of our Dallas Cowboys or Houston Astros would be called Los Rojiblancos. They also have another nickname - the mattress makers! That's because their most popular mattress back then was striped in exactly those colors - just like Real Madrid's look today, which largely owes to the marriage of heritage and football flair that we know them so well for now, because it has gradually evolving over time, but still... perfectly mirrored.

Atlético Madrid is an AG (Sociedad Anónima Deportiva), which means that the club is not owned by the members but by private investors. The Gil family is a major shareholder in Atléti and has been for years as they hold majority shares in most clubs; it cannot be deselected!

Madrid is the capital of Spain and home to two football giants: Real Madrid have won more than ten European Cups and Athletic Bilbao holds the same record. But it's not just about these two teams - there are many others like them in all of Spanish football! The derby between the "Rojiblancos" (as they are often called) against their bitter rivals from across town at "El Derbi". It doesn't matter if you speak English or Castilian because everyone knows how important a good sporting rivalry is when it comes to bragging rights...The key was capturing the tension through the language while embracing it making sure everything makes sense, including contextual clues, so no one is left behind on the reader's journey.
