Giuliano: From a Difficult Debut to a Key Figure
Giuliano has established himself as a fundamental piece in Simeone’s scheme, an indispensable player in Atlético de Madrid. The upcoming match against Celta evokes memories of his debut as a starter in La Liga, a match played at Balaídos.
That match, corresponding to the seventh matchday, was his first big opportunity in the starting eleven. Despite the difficulties encountered in that match, where Celta exploited his wing, the experience served him to grow and strengthen.
Subsequently, his performance was on the rise, especially highlighting in the match against Leganés, where his play led to a key goal by Griezmann that culminated the rojiblanca comeback. Then, against Las Palmas, came his first goal, consolidating himself on the right wing.
Since that September 26, Giuliano has become a fixture, totaling 28 games between La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey, accumulating 1,583 minutes of play. With four goals and five assists to his credit, the 22-year-old, under contract until 2028, has emerged as one of the great positive news for Atlético this season. His breakthrough has brought a renewed dynamism and energy to the team, confirming his value and potential to continue growing as a rojiblanco player.
