The story of Vitolo
Víctor Machín, Vitolo, was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1989. After winning two Europa Leagues with Sevilla and playing for Spain, he signed for Atlético in 2017. Because the club could not register new players until January 2018, he spent the first half of that season on loan at Las Palmas.
In red and white
Vitolo joined the squad in January 2018 and was part of the team that won the UEFA Europa League that May and the UEFA Super Cup in August. A direct, hard-working winger, he was later held back by injuries but remained in the squad that won La Liga in 2020–21.
Legacy
His contract ran until 2024, with loan spells elsewhere along the way. He played around 70 league games for Atlético.
