Talk:Atlético Madrid

message: Hi, I have been editing the José Reina page and was writing about his father being a former Atlético player. I spelt it "Athletico", but someone changed it to "Atletico". I researched and found that the BBC webpage uses both of these, so I thought that this might be a good place to ask what is the correct word/spelling in English. Is it:
#Atlético
#Athletic
#Athletico
#Atletico

replies: text: The club website itself uses Atlético. However the club  originally used Athletic. The name was changed in 1941 when a decree issued by Franco banned the use of non-Spanish language names. If you read the main article this is explained in more detail. The situation is complicated further by the fact that Athletic Bilbao use the English spelling. I think this is were the mix up occurs. The version you used seems to be a strange combination of both. I would recommend using Atlético in reference to the Madrid club and Athletic when referring to the Bilbao club. Djln--Djln 21:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:   The Club has to be spelled Atlético ... with out é is also fine because of a few programms don't accept an é ... Atlético with H is totaly wrong and just british newspapers are using it this way, nobody knows why. Rojiblanco 21:50, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nonetheless, the club is regularly called "Athletico Madrid" in England, so it seems appropriate to mention this if you're going to specifically have a section about the club's name in English. Otherwise the section may as well be deleted. Gwladys24 (talk) 00:25, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It may regularly be called "Athletico Madrid", but this is wrong, it is a mistake if it is spelled like this, media sources spell it "Atlético", including newspapers and television news programmes. It is a mistake to use the spelling you speak of, and it has no place in Wiki. Brock 009 (talk) 20:01, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm from Madrid and I've ever never heard Atlético Madrid, it is totally wrong. "Atlético de Madrid" is de most common way to refer to this team. "Atleti" is also valid, which is the shorten of "Atlético de Madrid".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.221.60.181 (talk) 15:36, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The transfer fee quoted in the article is wrong. I shall try and find out the exact figures but that is a number someone has just plonked in there after reading the English press. I believe that a) it's much less than has been suggested on this page and b) it's commensurate with international appearances, league appearances and goals. If someone does think it's right then at the very least it needs a citation?--Dcb141 13:46, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Torres left the club for 45 Million Euro! He gets 10% of the fee which he don't wanted ... So Liverpool bought him for 40 Million Euros. Nut the fee was 45! The transfer of Luis García has nothing to do with the Torres deal. Rojiblanco 21:46, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

text: What are you on about? Fernando Torres moved to Liverpool FC, in a cash plus player exchange, involved was the sum of £20million and Luis Garcia. Luis Garcia was to make up the other £5million Atletico demanded. Im sorry i dont know what £20million is in euros, but that is how much he transfered for, plus Luis Garcia. Therefore, Luis Garcia has EVERYTHING to do with "the Torres Deal". Brock (talk) 14:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The article states,"In the away leg of the semi-final against Celtic, Atlético had Ayala, Díaz and substitute Quique all sent off during a hard fought encounter in what was reported as one of the worse cases of cynical fouling the tournament has seen . Despite this they still managed a 0-0 draw and then won the return leg 2-0 with goals from Gárate and Adelardo."
I object to the suggestion that Atletico secured a 0-0 draw "despite" the "hard fought encounter" and "cynical fouling." This would lead readers to believe that they were somehow the victims whereas in fact they were the sole perpetrators. The behaviour of Atletico players in that match was the worst that I have ever seen in a professional football match and there can be little doubt that in the latter stages of the match, the referee refrained from issuing any more yellow cards that would have forced the abandonment of the match. Their objective was clearly to prevent their opponents from scoring by any and every conceivable means, fair or foul, but with a special emphasis on foul.
There can be no compromise on the facts of their outrageous gamesmanship and brutal behaviour in this tie.  No team in the history of European Cup football has ever accrued so many red and yellow cards in one game. I am therefore going to change "Despite this they still managed a 0-0 draw," to "As a result of their brutal tactics, they prevented Celtic from scoring and the 0-0 result was followed by a 2-0 victory in the return leg with goals from Gárate and Adelardo."

replies: text:  I disagree. I'm also from Madrid, but have moved around a lot. Atlético de Madrid is commonly used in English too and should be the name given in the title and infobox. None of your examples are relevant. They all are merely English variants of the city name. In the case of Madrid, there is no English variant. Other well-known Spanish football clubs that include the de in their name on the English Wikipedia include Celta de Vigo, Deportivo de La Coruña, Sporting de Gijon, Racing de Santander and Gimnàstic de Tarragona. J. E. C. E. (talk) 21:01, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Well where I live in the UK, nobody uses Atlético de Madrid and unfortunately a lot of silly people say/write/type Athletico Madrid (and also Athletico Bilbao!) More commonly, just Atlético is used. But the 'de' is never used in print and video media here other than by native Spanish speakers talking about the club like Guillem Balague, with commentators like Sid Lowe and Graham Hunter just using  Atlético as far as I can recall. I can't speak for other English-speaking countries. Unfortunately there is a lot of inconsistency with the variations between names of clubs, which seem to skew more towards an inaccurate English version depending on how famous the club is.  But I really don't see the big deal with the name Atlético Madrid being used. Crowsus (talk) 21:31, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well the club's English website consistently uses the de: http://en.atleticodemadrid.com/. I agree that simply using Atlético is more common than either option in both languages, but it's probably too short for this encyclopedia. J. E. C. E. (talk) 05:37, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
