The club was established in 1903, under the name of Athletic Club de Madrid. Its organizers, three Basque understudies living in Madrid, considered the club an adolescent part of Athletic Bilbao. The club first shirts with blue and white shirts were likely roused by Blackburn Rovers. After eight years they would change to red and white shirt and this time by the impact of Southampton. The legacy from the primary unit lives on with the blue shorts.
Following the finish of the Spain common war in 1939, Athletic was converged with a Zaragoza football club established that year, Aviación Nacional. The new club was named Athletic Aviación de Madrid. The merger immediately demonstrated effective, as Athletic Aviación figured out how to win its first La Liga in 1940 and shield the title in 1941. In 1947, the club changed its name for the last time; it was from now on known by its present name of Club Atlético de Madrid.
The 50s began off well for Atlético Madrid, as the club won two more La Liga titles under the administration of the Argentine Helenio Herrera. After his flight in 1953, be that as it may, the club needed to make due with being the third best club in the nation for whatever remains of the decade, behind the unapproachable Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The following two decades were ruled by a wild competition between two Madrid clubs, Real and Atlético. With the two clubs making the most of their primes, the Madrid derby was viewed as a battle between the rich residents and the average workers. Amid these two decades, Atlético figured out how to win four La Ligas (1966, 1970, 1973 and 1977), five Copa del Rey trophies (1960, 1961, 1965, 1972, 1976) and a Cup Winners' Cup in 1962.
The Animals
Under the administration of Juan Carlos Lorenzo 1973– 1975, Atlético would be allowed the evil sounding moniker "creatures". The nicknamed came after the European Cup semi-last against Celtic. Atlético achived a goalless away draw, however the match is more associated with Atlético's strategy for winning, which brought about three Atlético players sent off, the greater part of alternate players seeing yellow cards and the rivals were given 51 free kicks. Atlético would following a success in the second leg advance to the last and there face Bayern Munich. Everything finished with a triumph for the Germans.
The club needed to hold up until 1987 and Jesús Gil's arrangement for president for its next ascent to unmistakable quality. Despite the fact that Gil began spending a lot of cash on enormous name signings, his merciless theory of changing the mentors at a quick rate did not yield results immediately. Subsequent to making due with two Copa del Rey titles in 1991 and 1992, Atlético at last won its hotly anticipated ninth La Liga in 1996, lining it up with another Copa del Rey trophy. Gil's reign arrived at an end in 2000, because of numerous claims against him and the club's board. With various money related issues encompassing the club, Atlético was consigned that year.
