He Atlético de Madrid has become attached to Champions League in the last twelve years. Something that has a lot of merit because the only achievement is the real Madridhe Barcelonahe City of Manchesterhe Paris Saint Germain and the Bayern Munich.

It’s been ten years since Cholo brush him Athletic the 2014 champions at Lisbon. A dream season, which came as League champion, possibly the best season in its history.
Two years later he returned to the final to play it again against real Madrid. Again he is on the verge of winning it in the penalty shootout. Milan.
Since then they have reached the semifinals only once, only the following year in 2017. They went home again after playing the derby.
In 2018 they did not pass the group stage and ended up in European League. From what seemed like a failure came the first victory with a new shield. They won the competition after the final against Olympique de Marseilles.
In 2019 they fell to Juventus in the round of 16, in 2020 against Thursday’s rival Leipzig in the quarterfinals, in 2021 against Chelsea in the round of 16, in 2022 matches City of Manchester in the quarterfinals, in 2023 they fell in the group stage and last year against Borussia in quarters again. So now the team wants revenge.
A revenge to end the competition again by reaching the semifinals, the final but above all by lifting the first orejona in its history. This Thursday he began his journey.
