Thermopylae 15,286 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It seems to have been "proud to not be like you" I wonder if this is a dig at Real's dark Franco past? If so they obviously have no shame because they went from their usual papal white to fascist black Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Will Follow Rangers 12,921 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Wasnt Atletico actually Franco's team? after it merged with a club founded by members of the Spanish Air Force and won the league with a team of ex civil war "heroes" Suspect the banner may be something to do with King Alfonso's allegiance in the 20's for real and the continuing Spanish royal links to them. fascist latch on to success, as did franco to real.

I watch most of Atleticos games and there is no place in spain that has atmosphere like the Vicente Calderón. Very passionate fanbase and a great Club. Fuck Real.

scottyscott1963 18,293 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Sounds like our banner about "we are proud of our history while they hide there's" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I agree that it's probably more to do with Real and the fact their helped by the Spanish government to bring in players etc. How many managers do they go through as well? Success comes at a price. But not when the government is bailing you out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if that ever happened, the fans would cause the collapse of the banks responsible. It is like a Mexican standoff. And the debt rises. Where have we seen this before?

AGC123 1,185 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Was it barca in the last champions league game against juve that held up the more than a club display? Wonder where they got that from, ?
