10 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Club Atlas

8. They Finished Third In The Mexican Liga MX Last Season... And Are One Of Three Teams Who Play In Guadalajara

After winning nine of their 17 regular-season games in the Mexican Liga MX, Club Atlas finished third in the table with 31 points - joint with both América and UANL, although their goal difference of +2 was far inferior to their two rivals. Once they advanced to the league quarter-finals at the end of the Liga MX regular season, Club Atlas disappointingly succumbed 2-1 on aggregate to Monterrey and failed to walk away with a trophy. Interestingly, Atlas is just one of three football clubs from Guadalajara - with Club Deportivo Guadalajara and Club Universidad de Guadalajara also plying their trade in Mexico's fourth-most-populous city.
