Striker Fernando Torres has acknowledged that playing at the Vicente Calderon for the final time was a "difficult" day for many of the first-team squad.
Atletico signed off their 51-year stay at the stadium with a 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao, and Torres - who netted two of the goals - said that it had been a "tremendous honour" to play much of his professional career at the famous ground
The 33-year-old is quoted by Marca as saying: "It's difficult to explain the feelings of a day like today. Many of us have been coming to the Calderon since we were children and there are a lot of memories that come to mind right now.
"We've lived 50 years of pure happiness at the Calderon. It is a tremendous honour to form a part of all this. Now the story will continue and the feelings will too."
Atletico - who ended the season in third place - are moving to Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, which has a capacity of 73,000.
