..... are my final football selection for today, they have invested heavily this summer and are building a squad for a concerted, long term challenge, to the top two.
They have bought Miguel Mista from Valencia, Costinha and Seitarridis (12m euros) from Dynamo Moscow and they may be joined, by old team mate Maniche, shortly.
Maxi Rodriguez declined an offer from Inter to stay, Fernando Torres declined an offer from everyone and will stay to help a Champions League challenge, at least. New coach Javier Aguirre, achieved that with Osasuna last season, so it should not be beyond the side from the capital.
However, the true extent of their ambition is shown by the signing of 18 yo Sergio Aguero, from Independiente, for 23m euros . The youngest ever player in the Argentine first division at barely 15 years old, he is considered on a par with Lionel Messi, by many observers.
Today's opponents, Racing Santander, have limited funds and ambition, they claim to be happy just to retain their place in La Liga.
Atletico will look for the win, last year they started very slowly and with Valencia, Bilbao, Seville and then Real Madrid, up next, they need to start with 3 points today.
5 points Atletico Madrid -1/4 ball 1.99 asian line.
Good Luck.
