The 2008–09 season saw AtlĂ©tico Madrid return to the UEFA Champions League after an eleven-year absence. The team marked the return with an impressive group stage performance, only denied winning the group by a late penalty for Liverpool at Anfield.

In the league, AtlĂ©tico repeated the 4th place of 2007–08, improving on the previous season by three points. Uruguayan striker Diego ForlĂĄn had a tremendous season, scoring 32 league goals, the highest number of La Liga goals for a single player in a decade.
