Atlético and River, a historical bond
Atlético de Madrid celebrated its 122nd anniversary and received a special congratulation from Argentina: River Plate, highlighting the deep historical connection that unites both institutions.
The message on social networks, accompanied by a representative image, was a gesture that resonated among the Rojiblanca fans. The image showed several players who have left their mark both at the Metropolitano and at the Monumental, such as Julián Álvarez, Fillol, Falcao, Mono Burgos and Kranevitter.
These footballers embody the successful career that many have achieved in both clubs, strengthening the bond between Madrid and Buenos Aires. But the list of names that have worn both shirts is much more extensive.
The congratulation also remembered players such as Solari, Augusto Fernández, Esnáider, Lequi, Pato Sosa and Celso Ayala. The Simeone family also occupies a prominent place in this relationship, with ‘Cholo’ managing River and his son Giuliano training in the youth academy of the Argentine club before joining Atlético de Madrid. This exchange of talent and experiences has consolidated a friendship that transcends borders and is reflected in the mutual affection that both fans profess. Undoubtedly, a Rojiblanco anniversary with a tango flavor.
