The 2006–07 season was the 101st season in Atlético Madrid's history and their 70th season in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football. The season ran from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007. With the club-record signing of superstarlet Sergio Agüero as well as Mariano Pernía and Raúl García, Atlético aimed to repeat Aguirre's recent feat of taking Osasuna to the UEFA Champions League. The end result was 60 points, the best points haul in its five-season La Liga return, although this was not enough even for UEFA Cup qualification, which resulted in captain Fernando Torres departing for Liverpool, the transfer causing fury among the support. It was the sole season that he and Sergio Agüero played together.
The 2006–07 season was Atlético's most recent without participation in any European competition.
Kit In March 2006, Nike announced that the home kit for the forthcoming season will not use the usual stripes and feature halves instead, with the home kit consisting of halves in red and white and the away kit consisting of halves in navy blue and white. However, due to a massive negative reception from the fans, the club refused to use the red and white kit as their home choice. Finally, Nike decided to bring back the 2005–06 kit as their home choice, while both new kits will serve as away choices, depending on the color combinations used by the opposing team.
