“Francisco Campos, Atlético de Madrid’s third all-time top scorer”
Amidst differing opinions, the debate rages on as to who is the third all-time top scorer in the history of Club Atlético de Madrid. Some argue that Antoine Griezmann, with 155 goals, occupies that position, while others believe it still belongs to Francisco Campos Salamanca, a Canary Islands legend of the team.
Campos was an exceptional player with superb skills in dribbling, passing, scoring, and arriving at crucial moments. Adored by the fans, he played a vital role in securing the team’s first two league titles.
Born in Las Palmas in 1916, Campos began his career in Canary Islands clubs before joining the Athletic Aviación Club in Zaragoza, where the glorious red and white history took shape. With two league titles under his belt, Campos left an indelible mark on Atlético de Madrid’s attacking prowess.
