In a recent interview shared by football expert, Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle. He wrote:
Giuliano Simeone won Man of the Match Award in three consecutive games for Atlético.
He has earned his place and built a relationship with the group, that’s what I value the most. I try to separate the feeling of father/son from that of coach and player, says El Cholo.
After losing 4-0 to Arsenal on Match-Day three, Atletico needed to bounce back from that defeat and they took a deserved first half lead through former Manchester City’s forward, Julián Alvarez.
The second had three more goals pour in. Another premier league import, Conor Gallagher made it 2-0 but the visitors fought back as they reduced the deficit in the 80th minute through Ross Sykes but Marcos Llorente restored Atletico’s 2-goal lead with a third that made it 3-1.
Atletico Madrid are now ranked 14th on the UEFA Champions League table with just six points after two wins and two defeats in four matches played so far.
