Atletico Madrid v Barcelona

La Liga · Bet365 Live odds Bet365

Historical background

Despite being dwarfed in size by Real Madrid and Barcelona in both budget and support the club have always held their own and often punch above their weight in both La Liga and the Champions League. The club was founded in 1903 by 3 students and was originally supposed to be a youth academy for the Basque club, Athletico Bilbao. Athletico have built their success on toughness and togetherness, in the 70s they made the champions league final and garnered the nickname "the animals" due to their toughness. This has continued under Simone and has led to them winning the Europa League twice, La Liga, and Copa del Rey under his tenure.

Colours and Crest

The Athletico Madrid Logo was designed in 1917 and pictures a bear standing on its hind legs, leaning against a Madroño tree. The logo has changed over the years to have fewer stripes and a different shape but the traditional blue, red and white colours remain. When Athletico Madrid is on TV you will recognize their classic strip of red and white jerseys with blue shorts.
