7 players who have featured for both Atlético Madrid and Barcelona ✨

High society, beautiful stories.

As FC Barcelona hosts Atlético Madrid in the evening's big clash in La Liga, we invite you to dive back into a piece of shared history.

Here is our selection of iconic players who have worn both jerseys.

Luis Suárez - The man of titles 🏆

The Uruguayan giant had his most prolific period at Barça, winning the Champions League and scoring nearly 200 goals. At Atlético, he wrote one of the most memorable chapters of his career, delivering the 2021 La Liga title to Simeone in his first season.

David Villa - The perfect striker of two worlds ✨

World champion and Spanish icon, Villa was a major contributor to La Liga with Barça before joining Atlético. In the Spanish capital, he continued his career with the same goal-scoring instinct and won the Spanish championship in 2014.

Antoine Griezmann - The prodigal return 🐐

Perhaps the greatest story between the two clubs. Arriving in 2014 at the Colchoneros, the Frenchman shone there until 2019. He then joined Barça with whom he won La Liga in 2020. The following year, he returned to Atlético. He is now their all-time top scorer.

Sergio Agüero - An iconic goal scorer ⚽️

A legend of Atlético where he played between 2006 and 2011, Agüero won the Europa League in 2010. After shining at City for a decade, he returned to La Liga at Barça in 2021, but a heart anomaly forced him to retire five months after his arrival.

João Félix - The golden youth 🤴

Joao Felix played almost 200 matches for both teams. He won La Liga in 2021 with Atlético.

Memphis Depay – The reliable asset 💪

The Dutch forward was a transitional player between two eras at Barça, bringing creativity and explosiveness. In the winter of 2023, he joined the Colchoneros. He stayed one season in Madrid before heading to Brazil.

Clément Lenglet – The solid defender 🔒

Having played for Barça before joining Atlético, Lenglet experienced both styles: possession and intense pressing. His role shows that the link between the clubs is not just about forwards or global stars.
