Atlético de Madrid
2006–07 season
Manager Javier Aguirre
La Liga 7th
Copa del Rey Last 16
Top goalscorer Fernando Torres (15)

Atlético de Madrid opened a new chapter in its history, with the appointment of Mexican coach Javier Aguirre, who had been a huge success at Osasuna. With the club-record signing of superstarlet Sergio Agüero plus Mariano Pernía and Raúl García, Atlético emulated at repeating Aguirre's recent feat of taking Osasuna to Champions League. The end result was 60 points, the best points haul in its five-season La Liga return, although that was not enough even for UEFA Cup qualification, which resulted in captain Fernando Torres departing for Liverpool, the transfer causing fury among the support. It was the sole season that he and Sergio Aguero played together.
