Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone may look like a mid-level wiseguy, but deep down he's just a family man.
Atletico beat Real Madrid 2-0 last night in the first leg of the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey, with goals from Raul Garcia and Giminez de Vargas giving them a commanding lead heading into the second leg.
Fernando Torres had his second coming for his boyhood club, but it was manager Simeone who stole the show, as he emotionally embraced his son, who just happens to be an Atletico ballboy, after Garcia had out them in the lead from the penalty spot.
Just look...
On three... One... Two... Three... AWWWWWWW!
