The 2018-19 campaign delivered a competitive, yet heartbreaking, season for Atletico Madrid as Los Colchoneros secured a strong 2nd-place finish in La Liga. Leading the charge was the talismanic Antoine Griezmann, whose 15 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on the trademark defensive grit of Diego Simeone's side. It was a pivotal year that marked the successful capture of the UEFA Super Cup but ended with a bitter Champions League exit, and remains a testament to their sustained European qualification push.
