Giuliano, continuous growth

The 23-year-old winger has scored four goals and provided two assists this season, already matching his best-ever tally, with extra training sessions focused on improving his finishing in the box.

Giuliano Simeone continues to develop as a player at Atlético Madrid. The 23-year-old winger has made an impressive start to the season with four goals against Villarreal, Real Sociedad, Levante and Barcelona, plus two assists. He is on track to surpass his previous best of seven goals in a single campaign.

Simeone has been called up by Argentina, though he did not feature in their recent match against Uruguay. The winger has proven himself in big matches this season, playing a key role in the Madrid derby where he won the penalty that put Atlético ahead and later assisted Jonathan David's second goal. Against Barcelona at the Metropolitano, he opened the scoring with a first-time finish from Julián Álvarez's cross.

The player dedicates an extra training session each week to improve his decision-making in the final metres of the pitch. Simeone has a strong record in derbis against Real Madrid, directly contributing to five Atlético goals in those fixtures, and three in matches against Barcelona.
