Atlético takes ‘Never stop believing’ to its maximum expression

The ‘Never stop believing’ is one of the slogans coined by the Atletico Madrid in the last decade. Since the arrival of Diego Simeon to the rojiblanco bench, in December 2011, the mattress team has earned this phrase with historic and ‘impossible’ triumphs, and it is even now a life motto.

What is clear is that this courseAtlético is subscribed to strong emotions. A continuous roller coaster of sensations that tests the hearts of the mattress supporters, who have become accustomed to living agonizing end games. There are already more than a dozen this season. And we are in the middle of February…
