The club wanted the veteran players who were part of our first team in the first match of the stadium on the banks of the Manzanares to have the acknowledgement of the Vicente Calderón in the 50th anniversary of our stadium.

The former players, stars of that historic moment, enjoyed the game together in the Presidential Box and received an ovation when they came onto the grass during the half-time by the fans who were on the stands to watch on giant screens the match that the first team was playing in Valencia.

Adelardo, Martínez Jayo, Iglesias, Rivilla, Ufarte, Isidro and Luis, one of the sons of Luis Aragonés, were the stars of that historic moment in a special day for all of them.

All the former players signed the poster of the Atlético de Madrid – Valencia match, the first we played on the banks of the Manzanares. A memento of a historic day for the Museum of the club.
