After netting his first goal for Argentina, Simeone couldn't hold his emotions as he ran towards his mother, who was present in the stands. He hugged her mother like a small kid expressing his gratitude towards her. The heartfelt moment was captured by one of the fans on camera. The video has been making waves on social media post-Argentina's victory.
Giuliano Simeone had garnered a fair share of attention in the important fixture with his energetic and versatile gameplay.

To add to it, the striker burst into open spaces with lightning-fast speed, which made him difficult to mark at all times.
Giuliano Simeone received his first senior call-up in 2022 from Atletico Madrid. The striker sustained a career-threatening injury in 2023 during a pre-season friendly. However, he made a full rehabilitation and returned to Atletico's side in 2024. He scored his first goal for Atletico on his return in November 2024 against Las Palmas.
