Diego Simeone celebrated a significant milestone on Saturday, marking his 500th LaLiga game in charge of Atletico Madrid with a 2-0 home win over Mallorca.
The Argentine coach, who has been at the helm for over 13 years, reflected on the journey, praising his coaching staff, past players, and family for their support.
Atletico’s solid performance saw Samuel Lino score in the first half and Antoine Griezmann seal the win with a stunning stoppage-time goal.
Simeone acknowledged the team’s defensive strength, with Atletico conceding the fewest goals in the league this season, and expressed his desire for continued growth both defensively and offensively.
Griezmann’s performance was especially noteworthy, scoring his first league goal in nearly two months, and Simeone highlighted the importance of maintaining the forward’s form as the team pushes for top honors.
