In November and December 1950 Atlético toured Europe. Against some of the strongest European clubs at the time, such as B. SK Rapid Wien , RSC Anderlecht , FC Schalke 04 or Hamburger SV , the club was able to achieve five wins and three draws and suffered only two defeats. Thanks to this successful tour in the low temperatures that the Brazilians are not used to, the team was nicknamed Campeões do Gelo , the ice cream masters. With the game in Gelsenkirchen, the Schalke legends Ernst Kuzorra and Fritz Szepan said goodbye to active football. In later years Atlético also played frequently in Europe and won numerous tournaments.
