Club Atlético de Madrid has won La Liga, Copa del Rey, and UEFA Europa League, among other trophies that have filled their trophy cabinet.

Atletico plays their home games at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, which has a capacity of 68,000 spectators.

The club has a strong and passionate fanbase and is highly rated in Spanish football. They are also commonly known as Los Colchoneros.
