It was founded as a sports club of Madrid by Basque students sympathetic to Athletic Bilbao. The team in the Spanish capital will no longer be a subsidiary in 1921, when it dismembered the Basque team. However, the similarity of uniforms, names and badges, arose because of the way the Madrid club was created, remained. His best period came between 1939 and 1975, winning seven of the ten titles in the Spanish league, the 1962 European Cup and finishing second in the UEFA Champions League in 1974. The runner-up in 1974, by the way, brought Atletico a curious position of the first intercontinental cup club, not winning the most important continental interclub trophy: the team defeated the Argentines from Independiente, not winning the UEFA Champions Cup, lost to Bayern Munich. The German club gave the Spanish place. Atletico will again be a Champions League finalist in 2014 and 2016 without winning it. He previously won the UEFA Europa League in 2010 and 2012, a title he will win again in 2018.

He was back at the home of football, the stadium where he had first achieved his childhood dream of playing for England. 19 March 2015, England vs Lithuania – he remembered that game like it was yesterday. He had scored that day and now, with England facing Slovenia, he needed to do it again. As England’s captain and Number 9, it was his job to shoot them to the 2018 World Cup. ‘Come on, lads!’ Harry called out to his teammates behind him: friends like Joe Hart, Kyle Walker and 11 Harry Kane Dino PB Text_p001-176 UFH.indd 11 30/10/2019 11:24 KANE Eric Dier. It was a real honour to be their leader. With a victory over Slovenia, they would all be on their way to the biggest tournament of their lives in Russia. Harry looked down at the young mascot by his side and smiled at him. ‘Right, let’s do this!’ As the two of them led the England team out onto the pitch, the fans clapped and cheered. Harry didn’t look up at the thousands of faces and flags; instead, he looked down at the grass in front of him. He was totally focused on his task: scoring goals and beating Slovenia. ‘If you get a chance, test the keeper,’ Harry said to his partners in attack, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford, before kick-off.
