The Cívitas Metropolitano is one of the most impressive stadiums in the world due to its infrastructure, modernity and, above all, the drive of the fans who pack it every week. Atlético de Madrid moved to this new venue in 2017 and since then the stadium has not stopped growing and reinventing itself, consolidating itself as the football temple that it is. Vibrating in every game of its team, the Metropolitano is an intimidating stadium that impresses rivals to the point of making Atlético almost invincible at home.
The home court advantage that the red-and-white team has is due to its fans, who never fail a single day and push their team from start to finish. The colchoneros are one of the best fans on the planet and they show it in every game, so much so that last year they smashed an unprecedented statistic at the Metropolitano . Being one of the most crowded stadiums in Europe , the Metropolitano figures on the list of stadiums with the most spectators last season.
A very top top
The Atlético de Madrid stadium was the eighth most attended stadium last year between LaLiga, Champions League and Copa del Rey in the list of stadiums with the highest number of spectators. Up to 1,642,017 spectators attended the home of Atlético de Madrid to support their team last season, achieving several sold-outs during the season. Being the Metropolitano a stadium with a smaller capacity than most of the other stadiums on the list, even though it is quite large, the meritorious eighth place reflects what the fans mean.
Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Manchester United, Real Madrid , Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Roma are Atlético 's rivals on the list, which is rounded off by Liverpool and West Ham . Several of these rivals have already passed through Atlético de Madrid 's stronghold in recent times and have been defeated several times on their visits to the capital. With Borussia and Inter being the two most recent precedents, in addition to Real Madrid , the Metropolitano has become an almost impregnable temple for anyone who ever visits it.
Almost unbeatable
The mystique surrounding Atlético de Madrid's stadium is such that it is extremely difficult to beat Simeone 's team when they play at home. Although the Vicente Calderón breathed a different atmosphere, the Metropolitano is slowly taking up the mantle and is camouflaging itself with the essence of the Manzanares that the Atlético fans miss so much. At the mercy of being able to become, one day, that true home of Atlético de Madrid as the Calderón was, the fans make their new stadium a magical place.
There's no place like home
Atlético de Madrid 's stats at home last year were those of a team that has established itself as the best home team in the world. The Colchoneros only lost two games at home and went on a run of more than twenty consecutive victories in all competitions. Trying to return to being that almost indestructible team at home this season, Diego Pablo Simeone 's team will try to give their best version to get many points at home.
