After being crowned champions in 1951, the team waited 70 years to return to glory - following Julián Quiñones' arrival in Guadalajara

Atlas Fútbol Club ended a 70-year championship drought after Julián Quiñones arrived in Guadalajara. The Colombian forward joined on loan from Tigres in July 2021 and quickly became a key figure for “Los Zorros.” In the 2021 Apertura regular season, Quiñones scored five goals and added three assists as Atlas finished second and reached the playoffs. Atlas’ progress continued with the striker improving to six goals and three assists in the regular season, helping Diego Cocca’s side finish third. After victories over Chivas (3-2) and Tigres (5-0), Atlas won the 2022 Clausura final over Pachuca, with Quiñones scoring in the first leg.
