Elias Kostis made his debut with the first team of Atlético Madrid, and indeed at the level of the Champions League, last night.
This is the son of Giorgos Kostis, who had competed in Greece with the jerseys of Iraklis, Panachaki, Olympiakos Volos and retired from active action 13 years ago (in 2010)!

On the occasion of this special event for the Greek Cypriot defender, who was born in Thessaloniki in February 2003, the Spanish team pays tribute to the now 20-year-old ace.
“Ilias Kostis (Thessaloniki, February 27, 2003) made his debut with the first team in the Champions League match against Feyenoord at the Metropolitano. Elias couldn’t have had a better debut as our team beat the Dutch 3-2, finding themselves behind twice.
The defender, who plays for Atlético B, arrived at the Academy in 2019. He is one of the most important players in the reserve team, led by Luis García Tevenet, and managed to make the jump to the first team from last season.
Since the start of this season, Simeone has included him in many training sessions, with the Greek Cypriot defender getting some preseason minutes with the Argentinian coach and traveling on the tour that took place in Korea, Mexico and the United States.
This is how he will remember Wednesday, October 4, as one of the most special days in his career, after he played his first game with the Atlético Madrid team.
Congratulations Elias for your first minutes with the first team”!
