Diego Simeone inspired Lazio to a 1-0 victory over Juventus in Turin, scoring the winning goal in the 1999-2000 Serie A clash.
And the Atletico Madrid head coach watched from afar as his son Giovanni put Italian champions Juve to the sword with a brace in Genoa’s stunning 3-1 triumph on Sunday.
Diego Simeone was quick to pay tribute to the 21-year-old forward on Twitter afterwards, with the accompanying caption of “exciting”.
At Milan, Inter coach Stefano Pioli was excited by what he saw from his team in their win over Fiorentina, but he expects further improvement.
A fast start set up Inter’s 4-2 victory at San Siro on Monday before Mauro Icardi completed his brace to seal the win late on.
Pioli, who enjoyed his first win at the helm, saw the potential of his team, particularly early on.
“We did lots of good things today, especially at the start of the game,” he told a news conference.
“We got our approach right and if we play as a team and stick together we have the potential to be very successful. It’s when we stop playing as a team that we start running into trouble.”
Inter struck three times in the opening 20 minutes through Marcelo Brozovic, Antonio Candreva and Icardi.
Despite a Nikola Kalinic goal, Inter appeared set to cruise to victory when Gonzalo Rodriguez saw red in the first half.
But a Josip Ilicic effort made for a nervy finish before Icardi sealed the three points for Inter.
Pioli added: “First and foremost we need to work on our mentality. We have to learn to dig deep and know when to hold on because there are always two teams out there.
