Atletico Madrid 1989-90

The Legacy

Paulo Futre spent 1989-1990 orchestrating the attack for Atletico Madrid under the watchful eye of president Jesus Gil. The side finished fourth in La Liga, relying on the goalscoring output of Manolo and Baltazar to keep pressure on the league leaders. Puma manufactured the gear worn throughout these matches, while the Marlboro sponsorship appeared on the front of the away kit. With Gil overseeing a turbulent period of internal turnover, the team remained a fixture in the upper half of the table, consistently challenging for European qualification spots throughout the year.
