Giuliano Simeone, the new Atlético idol: debut with Argentina and family record

Giuliano Simeone is living the sweetest moment of his career. The Atlético youth squad player (21 years old) has gone from a secondary role to being decisive in the team.

His debut with the Argentine national team, after Nahuel’s injury, has been a historic milestone: together with his brother Giovanni and his father Diego, they form the first father and sons duo to play for the albiceleste.

Giuliano has been a starter or substitute in all matches since his great performance against Leganés, and has participated in goals in the last four games. His versatility on the right wing has been key, and the numbers support his bet: with him on the field, Atlético scores more goals and receives less. Cholismo in vein for the red and white team.
