Best of 2010: Atlético back to the top

Champion Athletic

The 2010 will certainly be on the calendar of athletic history by Atletico fans. Not with the significance of the time of Louis Aragon and Garate, not as the year of the doublet in the league returned to the banks of the Manzanares, but was the year in which the athlete was lifting a title, the year the Vicente Calderon a great feeling again.

There were three because it prevented Sevilla in the cup final, but as a twist of fate they were the joy back twice. If at that time meant the double hegemony in domestic competitions, in 2010 we are going the domain was on the European continent where the titles were reluctant from the distant 1962 when the defunct Cup Winners Cup was lifted. Yes we won the Intercontinental in 74 after that final defeat against Bayern in which they had a handle of the cup in his hand. After being eliminated from the Champions League, Atlético reached the final of the Europa League after eliminating the Galatasaray, Sporting Lisbon, Valencia in a close duel and Benitez's Liverpool.

It was not plain sailing and we expect the final Fulham's Roy Hodgson, revelation of the competition that would safeguard the honor of the Premiership after the fiasco in the Champions League. Atlético was higher in the final of the Nordbank Arena Hamburg. This is reflected in the score ahead by Forlan, but to win well and easy the epic had not taken place and Atletico have turned their backs on tradition. Fulham equalized shortly afterwards and the extension showed up. It was then that new Forlan for a place in the memory of the great red and white history and make eternal cry of Uruguay, Uruguay.

The first Europe League history would for Atletico and Neptune back to get back to yours after seeing them recently in some circumstances, the rise at first, strange for a club like Atletico Madrid. After the World Cup which Forlan completed the best season of his life after being voted best player and take your selection to the semifinals took place before the European Super Cup Inter Milan formidable champion of everything.

Vicente Calderón

And Benitez's hand sought the Inter match the feat of making Barcelona one year before the six titles at stake, but it was Atletico who prevented him from achieving the six gimped as the team was looking for his double red and white. This time, trouble or contraindications, Atletico dominated the European champions and won by two goals to nil, this time being Aguero Reyes and who have their moment of glory. It would be the second time in months that Atletico would be crossed on the way Benitez. Neptune would be a second time with its own in less than a year.

Not only the title would be cause for celebration at the Calderon, since 2010 saw two grown players in the athletic factory would settle in the team gaining much importance in the side as the stars could have Agüero and Forlan. With the permission of channels, the two major appearances in football in our country came from the quarries of Real Madrid and Barcelona, but the keeper De Gea and central Domínguez formed two pleasant surprises in Spanish football.

The bad news was the death of Juan Carlos Arteche , former athletic center and captain during the eighties and one of the most beloved players in red and white family, but no homage from Atletico Madrid would have been more rewarding for you Arteche see his team back on top, to which he returned in 2010.

Now things are back to being a little distorted by the Calderon where the results did not accompany them as they wanted, but who knows, this is a club where the unexpected surprise and take center stage. Atletico a year ago was a hopeless team, champions of Europe today.
