Monchín Triana

Born in Madrid, he began playing football in 1919 with Atlético Madrid, remaining at the club for 9 years and becoming one of the club's great stars its all-time top scorer, until he was surpassed by his teammate Cosme Vázquez in his last season as a rojiblanco. With Atlético, he won three regional championships (in 1921, 1925 and 1928), the first in the club's history, and reached two finals of the Copa del Rey (in 1921 and 1926), both of which were lost against Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona, respectively. It can be said that Triana along with teammate Luis Olaso in the 1920s, contributed to turning Atlético Madrid into an important team in the capital. With Real Madrid he reached two more finals of the Copa del Rey, in 1929 and 1930. He played in both of them and even scored in the second against Athletic Bilbao, but luck was not on his side and the Whites lost both finals by the minimum margin. In the League he played twenty games over four seasons, being a starter in the first, and a substitute in the next three, and in his last season with the club he managed to obtain the first league title in the history of Real Madrid in the 1931-32 season. Monchín Triana's role in that historic title was modest, but nonetheless a great performance, since he only played three league games in which he scored three goals.

As a Atlético Madrid player, he was eligible to play for the Madrid national team, and was part of the team that reached the final of the 1923-24 Prince of Asturias Cup, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF. Triana scored two goals against Catalonia in the infamous final of the 1923-24 edition, which ended in a 4-4 draw, losing the replay 2-3 two days later. He played in one match for the Spain national football team in 1929.
