Atlético Madrid's debut at the Wanda Metropolitano is drawing closer. Los Rojiblancos will face Málaga on Saturday 16 September.
Atlético welcome new era
It will be a significant occasion for the club, and their first home match away from the banks of the Manzanares river since 1966.
Construction of their new home has been frenetic, with Atlético playing their first matches of the LaLiga season away from home to allow extra time for works to be completed.
