Atletico Madrid Away Kit 2019-20 — Nike, the Joao Félix Era

In the summer of 2019, Atletico Madrid spent 126 million euros on a 19-year-old kid from Benfica. This Nike 2019-20 away kit is the one the club wore when all of Madrid — the other Madrid, the real one, the one from Metropolitano — held its breath to see what Joao Félix would really be worth.

What this kit represents

The 2019-20 season for Atletico Madrid was a season with two faces. In La Liga, the Colchoneros finished in third place, solid as always, without the flamboyance of their Bernabeu neighbours but with that kind of collective resilience that has been Diego Simeone's trademark since 2011. Atletico doesn't offer you free entertainment — it offers you results, sweat, and guts.

On the pitch, the season was driven by a five-star cast: Joao Félix trying to find his feet in a system not really designed for show-offs, Jan Oblak quietly continuing to be the best goalkeeper in the world, Koke directing the midfield as if he had grown up in those hallways — which is literally the case — and Saul Ñiguez then at the peak of his value. It was also the final stretch for Diego Costa, still as fiery, still as indispensable when fit to play.

Moments etched in this kit

Joao Félix's historic transfer — Summer 2019
With 126 million euros, Atletico made the fourth most expensive transfer in football history at that time. This away kit is from his first full season in red and white — or rather, away, far from the Metropolitano.

Champions League — the comeback at Anfield, March 2020
Atletico had eliminated the reigning European champions Liverpool in the round of 16, a resounding result snatched with their teeth in a context of maximum tension. This away kit is the one worn during that European epic, which ended abruptly in the Lisbon Final 8 bubble against RB Leipzig in the quarter-finals.

The Lisbon Final 8 — August 2020
Due to COVID-19, UEFA invented a unique format: eight teams, one city, single-leg knockout matches. The 2019-20 Atletico Madrid participated and lost 2-1 to RB Leipzig, ending a trying season, cut in half by the global pandemic.

Authentic vs Replica

A Nike authentic kit from that era is not the same as the replica sold in the fan shop. The cut is different — closer to the body, tailored for a high-level athlete. The Dri-FIT ADV fabric manages sweat in a way that the standard replica does not replicate. The finishes are more refined, the embroidery more precise, the technical details visible to the naked eye if you know a little about it.

This one has a condition of 9/10 — in other words, a kit that has lived without showing its traces. No fading, no cracking on the flocking, no mysterious stains impossible to explain. For a kit that is now five years old, it's frankly rare. We are clearly above the average of what can be found on the vintage collector's kit market.

Vintage Size Guide

Nike kits of this generation are cut tight — designed to stick to the body of a professional player, not to be worn with a t-shirt underneath. As a general rule, it's better to take one size up from what you usually wear if you want a comfortable everyday fit. A Large often fits like a modern Medium, an XL like a Large. This is not an absolute rule, but it's the general trend for Nike Atletico Madrid kits from that era.

Before buying, take a tape measure and measure your chest circumference and shoulder width. Then compare with the exact measurements indicated on the product sheet — it's the only truly reliable way to avoid unpleasant surprises. A vintage kit is not returned, it is chosen carefully from the start.

Why have it in your collection

The 2019-20 season for Atletico Madrid is a pivotal season: it marks the arrival of Joao Félix in the elite, it partly takes place during a global pandemic, and it concludes with a unique competition format in the history of the Champions League. A Nike Atletico Madrid 2019-20 away kit with the Plus500 sponsor is an object that crystallizes a very specific era — not just a season, but a crucial period in European football. In ten years, this will be even more evident.

And in such a condition — 9/10 — there aren't many floating around on the market. Away kits from a specific season, in near-perfect condition, without damaged flocking or visible wear, are not easy to come by. The one who was waiting for the right example to add the Atletico version of Joao Félix to their collection, here it is.
