Atlético de Madrid has carved out a legacy of grit, glory, and heart. But for many fans and curious observers alike one simple question looms: how many trophies has Atletico Madrid won? In this article, AnnuGoal will guide you through the red-and-white trophy cabinet, breaking down their domestic, continental, and special-title haul.
The Definition of “Trophies” — What Counts as a Major Honour?
Before tallying the numbers, we must establish which trophies count. In football debates, the term “trophies” sometimes varies: some include regional cups, others count friendly tournaments, while purists stick to “official major honours.” In this article, we follow the conventional approach: include top FIFA/UEFA competitions, national league and cup trophies, and recognized su. We will not include minor preseason friendlies or invitational trophies in the core count (though we may reference them).
By that definition, Atlético Madrid’s trophy haul across its history (men’s team) is well documented: as of now, they have secured 34 major titles. That is the consensus among historical and statistical sources.
Breakdown of Atlético’s 34 Major Titles
Here’s how Atlético de Madrid’s 34 official trophies (men’s side) are distributed, with context and key facts:
1. Domestic Success
| Competition | Titles Won | Notable Runs / Trivia |
| La Liga (Spanish First Division) | 11 | Won in seasons 1939-40, 1940-41, 1949-50, 1950-51, 1965-66, 1969-70, 1972-73, 1976-77, 1995-96, 2013-14, 2020-21 |
| Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) | 10 | Titles in 1960, 1961, 1965, 1972, 1976, 1985, 1991, 1992, 1996, 2013 edia]) |
| Supercopa de España | 2 | Victories in 1985 and 2014 |
| Copa Eva Duarte | 1 | A predecessor to the Supercopa, won in 1951 |
| Copa Presidente FEF | 1 | Precursor trophy, won once |
These domestic trophies form the backbone of Atlético’s national dominance. Eleven league titles show they’ve periodically broken through the Real Madrid / Barcelona duopoly. The ten Copa del Rey wins further cement their status among Spain’s elite clubs.
2. European & International Honours
Atlético’s impact beyond Spain is equally remarkable. Their continental and intercontinental successes include:
- UEFA Europa League (UEFA Cup): 3 wins (2009–10, 2011–12, 2017–18)
- UEFA Super Cup: 3 wins (2010, 2012, 2018)
- UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup: 1 win (1961–62)
- Intercontinental Cup: 1 win (1974)
That European and global resume showcases Atlético’s capacity to punch above their domestic weight, particularly in the modern era where they became a perennial threat in Europe despite heavyweight competition.
3. Summary and Confirmed Total
When you sum Atlético’s major domestic and international honours:
- Domestic: 11 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 25
- International / continental / global: 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8
That gives 33, but historical records acknowledge 34 trophies, because one of the precursor national cups is included (Copa Presidente FEF) and sometimes variations in counting predecessors creep in. Most historical compilations and the club itself now state 34 major titles.
Hence, the widely accepted figure is that Atlético Madrid has amassed 34 major trophies in its men’s first-team history.
Highlights, Patterns & Milestones
The “Almost” Champions League Legacy
One of Atlético’s most dramatic narratives is their futility in winning the UEFA Champions League. They have reached the final three times (1974, 2014, 2016) but have never lifted that trophy. That near-miss aura gives Atlético a tragic-hero aura in European lore—perennial contenders, haunted by final hurdles.
Golden Seasons & Doubles
- The 1995–96 season stands out as a landmark double: Atlético won both La Liga and the Copa del Rey that year.
- Their most recent La Liga triumph came in 2020–21, a sign that their domestic credentials remain vibrant.
Trophy Droughts & Rebounds
Atlético has had lean stretches—especially in eras dominated by Real and Barça—but their resilience has allowed them to bounce back. The club’s renewal under managers like Simeone has brought fresh trophies and consistency, especially in Europe.
Preseason & Friendly Trophies
While not part of the “major 34” count, Atlético has also collected many invitational trophies (e.g. Ramón de Carranza, Teresa Herrera). These are meaningful to fans but not counted in the core total.
Why the “34 Trophies” Figure Matters
- It positions Atlético among Spain’s elite. Even if behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in quantity, being in the 30+ club is a mark of sustained excellence.
- It highlights a balanced résumé. Many clubs have league strength or cup strength; Atlético’s mix of domestic and European trophies shows versatility.
- It fuels narratives. Journalists, pundits, and fans often compare trophy counts—“How many trophies has Atletico Madrid won?” is a staple stat.
- It spurs ambition. For supporters and club internally, every new trophy tells a story of progress upon that historic base.
Final Thoughts
How many trophies has Atletico Madrid won? The answer: 34 major titles (men’s first team) across domestic, European, and global competitions. That count captures 11 league crowns, 10 Copa del Reys, a host of Spanish su.
Atletico’s story is not just about the number—it’s about the drama behind each title, the heartbreak of finals lost, and the defiant spirit that carried them back to win more.
So whether you’re comparing them to rivals, debating the greatest eras, or tracking their current run, now you know exactly how many trophies Atlético Madrid has in the cabinet.
