A Quote by Filipe Luis

When Atletico tried to buy me back, I did everything I could to make it possible. I had offers from clubs in France and Italy, but I would not have left Chelsea for any other side - only for Atletico Madrid.

I have always had sympathy for Atletico Madrid because, among other things, I have friends there, and my father always liked Atletico.

Rafael Benitez

I've done everything to come back to Atletico, but I wouldn't fight the same to return. When Atletico didn't wait for me, I had to go to Conte with the tail between my legs.

Diego Costa

It's not enough to just have talent at Atletico Madrid. At other clubs it is, but we can't sign superstars and have to look for players with a good work ethic.

Diego Simeone

I was not a Liverpool fan or a Chelsea fan in Madrid. I was an Atletico fan. I still am. Maybe they're the only badge I will kiss.

Fernando Torres

I'm very happy at Atletico. I'm very proud to play for these fans, with these players, and with this coach. I want to try and pay back the confidence and care that the people at Atletico have always shown me.

Antoine Griezmann

I had some other offers from other teams from Italy and Spain but when Chelsea came to get me, I did not think twice.

Marcos Alonso

When I was talking with Shanghai, I was talking to big clubs from Europe, as well. There was Atletico Madrid, who I almost joined. I liked them very much and what they were offering me at the time. There was also Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan. I had some options.

Oscar

At the time I was in Japan I was left to choose between Porto and Atletico Madrid but I preferred Porto because I thought it would be easier to adapt.

Hulk

I remember when I first came to Liverpool, Pepe Reina helped with everything, and he made it easy for me. When I was Atletico Madrid captain, I tried to help everyone. These are the basics in football: you need to create an atmosphere and try to create a group of friends. It's not easy, and it doesn't always happen, but you have to try.

Fernando Torres

Chelsea's fans love me a lot, even more than in Atletico. Figure that!

Diego Costa

I just do not see myself playing for Madrid. They do not attract me, especially because of my past with Atletico.

Fernando Torres

If I return to Spain someday, Atletico Madrid would be one of my top choices without doubt. It is a club that I have a lot of affection for.

Pepe Reina

When I moved from Independiente to Atletico Madrid, I was only 18, and I found it hard to adapt. But what surprised me most about moving to England was how fast the game was. I like it, but it is so quick.

Sergio Aguero

I hope I can retire at Atletico Madrid.

Filipe Luis

Atletico was a real group of friends. We went out together, and my teammates taught me a language I did not know at all when I arrived. When I left, I cried.
