Simeone amazed by Álvarez's stunning goal at the Bernabéu
The Metropolitano throbs with the passion and dedication that Diego Pablo Simeone brings to every match. A highlight that reflects this intensity was Cholo’s reaction to Julián Álvarez’s stunning goal at the Bernabéu.
With Atlético looking to establish themselves in the game, the Argentine striker’s brilliance unleashed the admiration of the Rojiblancos coach. Álvarez, with a masterful execution, hammered the ball into Courtois’s top corner, a stunning goal that ignited the Bernabéu and provoked a striking reaction from Simeone.
Cholo, visibly impressed, turned to the bench gesturing with astonishment, acknowledging the quality of the goal. This spontaneous gesture, captured by the cameras, quickly went viral among the Colchoneros fans. But admiration did not stop the Argentine strategist.
Immediately after celebrating the goal, Simeone returned to his role as conductor. He called Marcos Llorente and José María Giménez to give them precise instructions, adjusting the team’s strategy in search of victory. This combination of passion and professionalism is the hallmark of Cholo, a leader who lives football with intensity and infects his spirit to all of Atlético de Madrid.
