Editing Atlético Madrid (section)

===Barcelona===
Although less famous than the Derbi Madrileño, a historic rivalry exists between Atlético Madrid and [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], which is also considered one of the "Classics" of Spanish football. Once lopsided in favor of the Catalan club, this rivalry has become competitive since the early 2010s, marked by events such as the 2016 Champions League knockout phase where Atletico Madrid upset Barcelona, the controversial departure of [[France national football team|French]] striker [[Antoine Griezmann]] from the Madrid club to the Catalan club in 2019 (and his subsequent return in 2021 amid Barcelona's financial struggles), and the surprise move of [[Luis Suárez]] to Atlético in 2020, a move which saw the Uruguyan star play a crucial role in the team's championship run. However, by tradition and current affairs, the greatest rivalry is that which exists with its "[[Real Madrid CF|merengues]]" neighbors.<ref>{{cite web|language=es|url=https://es.fifa.com/news/y=2014/m=1/news=atleti-barca-rivalidad-puro-gol-2259293.html|title=Atléti-Barça: History of a rivalry|publisher=FIFA|access-date=14 August 2019|archive-date=25 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180725153708/https://es.fifa.com/news/y=2014/m=1/news=atleti-barca-rivalidad-puro-gol-2259293.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|language=es|url=https://www.mundodeportivo.com/20121215/fc-barcelona/barca-atletico-otro-clasico_54357999594.html|title=Duels between Barça and Atlético enclose as much history as the Classic|date=15 December 2012|publisher=Mundo Deportivo|access-date=14 August 2019|archive-date=14 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814044250/https://www.mundodeportivo.com/20121215/fc-barcelona/barca-atletico-otro-clasico_54357999594.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
