Atletico Madrid coach Simeone happy for Giovanni after Napoli Champions League goal

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone was delighted for son Giovanni after he scored for Napoli in victory over Liverpool.

Giovanni Simeone was making his Champions League debut on the night and celebrated his goal by kissing a Champions League tattoo he had done as a 14 year-old.

Dad Diego said: "As for Giovanni, I am very happy for him. He worked hard to get to this Champions League that he has tattooed on his arm since he was little.

"He plays in a very good team that attacks a lot, it's an important characteristic for him that he attacks a lot inside the area.

"So I'm very happy for him."

Like Giovanni, Diego also enjoyed Champions League success last night with victory over Porto.
