Stadium	Atlético Madrid moved stadium in 2017. After 51 years at the Estadio Vicente Calderón between 1966 and 2017, they moved ground and also moved to the other side of Madrid. It wasn’t just a case of moving a few metres down the road, as their new Estadio Wanda Metropolitano is 15km away. This has led to a slight change in the demographics of the fanbase, but attendances have been up at the new ground and the 68,000 venue is often full. One of the impressive things about Atlético Madrid’s move to the new stadium is the way they were able to maintain their most vocal support, as the fans who stood behind the south goal at the Estadio Vicente Calderón do likewise at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano and create a similarly impressive atmosphere to spur the team on. The stadium is modern and one of the best in the world and it has already hosted a Champions League final, doing so in 2019.
Recent History	Atlético Madrid’s recent history has been so impressive. Considering that this club was relegated to the second division at the end of the 1999/2000 season, they’ve come a long way. After returning to the top flight and establishing themselves as a top-half club, things really improved with the hire of Diego Simeone in 2011, Since Simeone took over, they’ve reached two Champions League finals in 2014 and 2016 and won the league title in 2013/14, as well as claiming several other more minor trophies. This really is a golden age for Atlético Madrid.

Atletico's rollercoaster 2023/24 campaign saw them secure a top four spot and enjoy some exciting runs in cup competitions, but ultimately was disappointing as the team failed to reach the final stages and recorded their lowest LaLiga finish since 2020. This squad is a very different one to the one that ended last season. In attack, Alvaro Morata and Memphis Depay have been replaced by Alexander Sorloth, with Joao Felix also returning and Julian Alvarez close to completing a switch. That gives new energy and quality to Atleti's attack. That will likely be the team's biggest strength, with prolific goalscorers joining Antoine Griezmann and Angel Correa in attack. This Diego Simeone team is much more offensive-minded than those of years gone by. Question marks remain about the defence. Departures of Mario Hermoso, Stefan Savic, Caglar Soyuncu and Gabriel Paulista mean that there are gaps, and the left-sided central defender position is yet to be filled. Robin Le Normand is a strong addition, but he won't fix these problems alone. Cup competitions will be demanding for this squad, but Atletico do have more strength in depth than they have for some time, and that should set the team up well despite a tough start to the campaign with early fixtures against Girona and Athletic Club in August.

Target

Challenging for silverware. Atleti have not won a trophy since LaLiga in 2021, and Simeone could believe that this new-look squad can compete in Europe. With Barcelona also faltering, it could be a shot to push back into the top two in Spain and put pressure on neighbours Real Madrid.
