About the archive
What exactly is preserved here?
Original AtleticoFans reporting from the 2010s: match reports, transfer stories, honours, obituaries, academy coverage and club news. Each article sits at the address it was first published under, with its original date.
Why keep old news online at all?
Because most football writing from that decade has quietly disappeared. These pages are the contemporary record of how each story read at the time, before anyone knew how the season ended, and encyclopedia editors in more than twenty languages cite them as period sources.
Are the articles edited?
They are presented in clean prose and neutral third person, with every fact, name, score and attributed quote kept as reported. Nothing is added that the original coverage did not contain.
What period does the archive cover?
Mostly 2010 to 2016: the seasons of Forlán's Hamburg final, Falcao's two years, Simeone's arrival, the 2013 Copa win at the Bernabéu and the 2013–14 title. The history timeline puts each report in context.
Can I find a specific match or player?
Yes. Use the search box above, or filter by category and year. Player-specific coverage is also linked from the individual player profiles.
Is more being added?
The archive holds the reports that survive with a verifiable original date. Anything that cannot be dated and sourced properly is left out rather than guessed at.
