El año del Cholo Today Simeone turns 47 and this may be the right year to win the awaited Champions League

 

Player, coach, leader, legend. This is what Diego "El Cholo" Simeone represents for the supporters of Atletico Madrid. First defending Colchoneros' color on the pitch, then on the bench, and in the middle a lifetime bond with the rojo y blanco.

Today Simeone turns 47 and he does it at the end of the umpteenth amazing season of his Atleti, which has reached the Champions League semi-final another time and plays to reach the third final in the last four years. Who knows, maybe this will be the right time to lift that awaited trophy but in the meantime... Happy birthday, Cholo!
