For a side who have spent large periods in the shadows of their neighbours, Real Madrid, and fellow footballing giants Barcelona, Atletico Madrid's history of producing and signing world-class strikers is remarkable.

Many of the club's number 9's have been Spanish or South American, and many have gone on to play for English clubs.

Diego Simeone, who ranked at no.8 in FourFourTwo's list of the best managers in the world right now, has been at the club since 2011 and has seen a wealth of attacking prowess come and go.

But how much can you remember about Atletico's impressive history of target men?

We've drawn up a typically fiendish FourFourTwo quiz to test your knowledge of the players, the titles, the awards and more from the history of Atletico Madrid's strikers.

There's no time limit and 10 questions to answer, so take your time and do your best.
