A strange secret behind the crying of Simeone's son after scoring a goal against Liverpool
Argentine striker Giovanni Simeone fulfilled a childhood dream of scoring in the Champions League, after he helped lead his team Napoli to drop its guest Liverpool 4-1 yesterday, Wednesday.
Fortunately, the son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone had the opportunity to realize his dream, as Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti was forced to enter him before the end of the first half due to the injury of Nigerian Victor Osimane when the Italian team was leading 2-0 with a missed penalty.
And the 27-year-old, on loan this season from Hellas Verona, quickly left his mark by scoring his team's third goal in the 44th minute, achieving a dream he had since he was 13 years old.
With this goal, Simeone Jr made his best start at the "Diego Armando Maradona" stadium, and scored his first goal in the Champions League, 25 years and 361 days after his father Diego opened his record in the mother continental competition in his first participation when he scored a double for Atletico against Steaua Bucharest Romania ( 4-0) in 1996.
And Simone Jr. seemed very moved after he shook the net from Liverpool and appeared crying.
