Giuliano Simeone: Grit and Courage at Atlético
The match between Atlético de Madrid and Celta de Vigo left an anecdote that reflects the claw and competitive spirit that characterize the rojiblanco club. Giuliano Simeone, true to the style of his father, Diego Pablo Simeone, tried to unsettle Iago Aspas before a crucial penalty.
The cameras captured Giuliano mischievously asking Aspas about the direction of his shot. The veteran forward’s response, with enviable security, was a clear omen of what was to come.
Despite the young Atlético player’s efforts to put pressure on him, Aspas did not back down and converted the penalty into a goal, demonstrating his temper and experience in key moments.

Giuliano, following in his father’s footsteps, did not hesitate to use all the weapons at his disposal, within the limits of the game, to benefit his team. These kinds of details are what make soccer something more than just a sport and show the passion and commitment that Atlético de Madrid players feel for their badge. A spirit that undoubtedly encourages fans to believe in every game.
