Atlético is going through a great moment on a social level And that translates into the day-to-day both at the subscriber level and in attendance at the Wanda Metropolitano. And also on the subject of clubs. And the Madrid club is in luck, since that a new association has been created: the Diego Forlán de Canelones athletic club, in Uruguay. It is the first Atletico club in this country and bears the name of the legendary Uruguayan striker.
Uruguay further unites its ties with Atlético with the creation of this peña. In this country they are delighted with the fact that many of the great Uruguayan players have dressed and still wear the red and white jersey. Giménez and Luis Suárez are part of Atlético's squad this season. Others have been a very important part of the Madrid club, such as Diego Godín.
Forlán has been one of the Uruguayan players with the best performance at Atlético. In a different team than now, and that did not have the power of the current Madrid team, Forlán was a rojiblanco banner. He played 198 games for Atlético and scored 96 goals. Won two titles, a Europa League and a European Super Cup and also the only Golden Boot in the history of Atlético. He scored 32 goals in the 2008-09 season championship. It is, therefore, pure history of the Madrid entity.
Both Uruguay and Atlético understand that the creation of this club is excellent news. The rojiblanco club has about 60 clubs abroad and it is present in more and more countries. Now in Uruguay.
