Esta ahi desde hace tres anos y no parece haber iniciado su viaje de regresion a la media, inexorable e implacable ley ampliamente reconocida. Los ingresos del Atletico de Madrid para el ultimo ejercicio cerrado alcanzan los 228,6 millones de euros (187,1: 2016) consiguiendo con ellos la 13a posicion (15a: 2016) en el informe Deloitte. En base a esos ingresos la posicion natural del Atletico seria superar la fase de grupos de la Champions y asi estar entre los 16 mejores equipos de Europa de la temporada. No obstante, el Atletico ha conseguido jugar dos finales de la maxima competicion continental, en 2014 y 2016, llegar a semifinales en 2017, y a cuartos de final en la edicion de 2015; superando asi las expectativas deportivas que se podrian esperar en funcion de su nivel de ingresos. Todo ello le ha permitido alcanzar la 2a plaza en el ranking de la UEFA desde julio de 2017. El anuncio del patrocinio para el nombre del nuevo estadio del Atletico de Madrid, una de las mejores noticias que podian escuchar los aficionados rojiblancos, ya que garantiza el cambio de estatus del club en el medio y largo plazo. La regresion del Atletico le llevara a un punto mucho mas alto del que partio hace poco menos de un lustro.
