Atlético de Madrid finally reached the UEFA Champions League, following its most successful season since its 1995–96 league title. In the wake of captain Fernando Torres departing for Liverpool, Atlético responded with the signings of Diego Forlán, Thiago Motta, Simão and José Antonio Reyes, aimed at propelling the club to the top. Atlético managed to take the final spot for the Champions League, finishing only three points behind Barcelona in third.
