Antonio Adán

Antonio Adán Garrido is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Atlético Madrid.

A youth product of Real Madrid, where he acted mainly as a backup, he spent most of his career with Betis.

All youth levels comprised, Adán won 39 caps for Spain.

A Real Madrid youth graduate, Madrid-born Adán was the first-choice goalkeeper for its C-side in the 2005–06 season, playing 36 games and conceding 29 goals. He also started three games for the Juvenil team which won the Champions Cup of the category, keeping a clean sheet in the tournament.

The following campaign, Adán was selected for the first team's United States tour in August 2006. He served as backup to captain Jordi Codina in Real Madrid Castilla, until the latter's promotion to the main squad.

Adán made his debut in 2006–07's second division on 27 August 2006, in a 1–1 draw away to CD Castellón. He contributed with six leagues matches as Real Madrid's reserves were eventually relegated.

After the sale of Codina to neighbors Getafe CF, Adán was promoted to the senior side for pre-season training in the 2009–10 campaign. While still appearing mostly for the B's, he was third-choice in the first team behind Iker Casillas and Jerzy Dudek.

Adán left Real Madrid after his contract was terminated, he signed with Italy's Cagliari Calcio, making his Serie A debut on 5 January of the following year in a 0–0 away draw against A.C. Chievo Verona.

A year later, Adán terminated his link to the Sardinians and returned to his country and its top division, signing with struggling Real Betis. He contributed with 40 appearances in his first full season, helping his team win the second level championship and subsequently promote to La Liga Santander.

Adán was named team captain in August 2014, alongside Jorge Molina, Damien Perquis, and Xavi Torres.

Adán returned to the Spanish capital on 10 July 2018, with the 31-year-old joining Atlético Madrid on a two-year contract. Used only in domestic cup games, he did not debut in the league until the last game of the season when he stood in for the injured Jan Oblak for a 2–2 draw at Levante UD on 18 May 2019.
