As part of his tour through Italy, Spain, and France, Javier Milei had a very special reunion with Diego Cholo Simeone, current coach of Atlético de Madrid.
The meeting took place before the start of the Madrid Economic Forum, an event that brings together political and business leaders from the continent. There, the Argentine President met Simeone again, whom he had met during his years as a youth footballer.
Both were born in 1970 and shared the field at the beginning of their careers. On one hand, Milei played as a goalkeeper in Chacarita's youth divisions, while Cholo played in Vélez's youth teams.
The Presidential Press Office shared a video of the meeting, where they can be seen sharing an emotional hug accompanied by the classic music of "Fútbol de Primera."
Visibly moved, Milei said: "He played better, he was good!", referring to Simeone's talent. In a lighthearted tone, the coach replied with a laugh: "He chose to be a goalkeeper", sparking laughter and a relaxed atmosphere among those present, which included warm greetings from Karina Milei and Carla Péreyra, the coach's wife.
