Osasuna has already made Atlético bitter the Centennial party

Osasuna was a stone guest on April 26, 2003 at the Vicente Calderón party. Atlético turned to the celebrations of its Centennial and during those days great legends of the club arrived in Madrid to be in the acts of the hundred years of the entity. The same day of the game Atlético fans walked between Neptuno and Calderón the largest flag in the world (a kilometer and a half). Many followers were participants in that initiative accompanying the flag's journey.

And before the match there was a huge colorful stadium, with tribute to the old glories of the club, an exhibition of the Air Force and its paratroopers who landed on the grass with the flags of Spain and Atlético. His Royal Highness Prince Philip (now King) attended the game. But the party was not total because Osasuna, directed by Javier Aguirre, won 0-1 with both from Iván Rosado in the 44th minute.

The match corresponded to matchday 31 of the 2002-03 League and the team trained by Luis Aragones He was not able to score a goal for the Navarrese team. Atlético formed with: Juanma; Contra, Hibic, Santi, Sergi; José Mari (Aguilera, 53 '), Albertini (Movilla, 53'), Emerson, Jorge Larena; Luis García (Stankovic, 5 ') and Javi Moreno.

More than 54,000 followers packed the Vicente Calderón, but Atlético had a bad game. The minutes went by and the Madrid team ended up losing to the desolation of their fans. It was an Atlético very different from now, newly promoted after spending two years in hell. He was 12th in LaLiga with 47 points. He needed time to rebuild after having dropped to Second.
