Giuliano Simeone's message after the Champions League victory: 'It's a...'

The Argentine made his debut in the Champions League to open the scoring in Salzburg

One of the main protagonists of Atlético de Madrid's victory yesterday in Salzburg was, once again, Giuliano Simeone, scorer of the first goal. The Argentine winger continues to grow in the red-and-white team and has already managed to debut as a scorer in the Champions League. Few thought he would have the relevance he has achieved in the colchonero team, being an undisputed starter on the right wing.

He has already scored two goals this season, matching other teammates like Samuel Lino and Conor Gallagher, in addition to providing three assists. However, there is another factor that has won over the fans, and that is the player has always shown himself to be grateful in front of the microphones. Last night he did it again, speaking to Movistar Plus and leaving a message that has caused many reactions on social media.

Giuliano Simeone graduates

The first half of the Argentine's season has been outstanding, starting on the bench and establishing himself as an undisputed starter for Simeone. The comeback against Leganés was the true turning point that allowed the player to take a step forward and gain much more relevance. Yesterday, he debuted as a scorer in the Champions League, opening the scoring against Salzburg and assisting Antoine Griezmann.

His match was once again very good in terms of work and sacrifice, offering himself to his teammates and being a constant threat to the opponents. He had dropped in level in recent matches, but his commitment remains the same, something that has ultimately rewarded him with a new goal. Even so, Cholo hopes he can continue to grow and asks him to have even better numbers in front of the goal in the coming months.

Love for Atlético de Madrid

After the match in Austria, he approached the microphones of Movistar Plus to analyze an important victory and have an emotional message for everyone. "Atlético is the club of my life, I've always said it, for me, training with these players is a very big opportunity," stated Giuliano Simeone after the final whistle. It's no surprise, as the Argentine has been connected to the colchonero team all his life thanks to his father's work.

He has already publicly expressed that his desire is to develop his entire career at the Metropolitano, something that is within his reach, although there is still a long way to go. Now, the next challenge is the home match against Real Mallorca to stay at the top of the standings and not drift away from Real Madrid. After that, there will be the Copa del Rey tie against Getafe that must be solved to reach the semifinals of the tournament again.
