Celebrating a historical milestone, Atletico Madrid marks 121 years of relentless passion and football. From its modest roots on the 26th of April, 1903, when a group of enthusiasts from Bilbao's Engineering School sought to establish an affiliate team in the capital, to boasting impressive European accolades, the club's journey is nothing short of inspirational. The team, in its formative years, mirrored its Bilbao counterpart, not only in name but also in kit—donning a half white, half blue ensemble until shifting to the now-iconic red-and-white stripes in 1910.
