ATLETICO MADRID manager Diego Simeone’s son Giovanni nailed the perfect impression of his father.
Giovanni was recorded by friends imitating the Atletico boss’ intense reactions when his players don’t carry out his orders and left onlookers in stitches.

Ronaldo rubbed some salt into the Argentine’s wounds by imitating his own ‘cojones’ celebration.
