Diego Simeone was overcome with nostalgia before facing Sevilla with his Atlético de Madrid in a key match for the Spanish League.
It was at the Andalusian club where Cholo took his first steps in Spanish football before coming to Aleti.
And he did not do it alone.
He played with Diego Maradona and was directed by Carlos Bilardo.
That land is special to him.
However, almost three decades later Seville had nothing special for him.
His team fell 1 to 0 was complicated.
Although it is still the leader of the competition, Real Madrid is three points away and Barcelona can get to one.
To make matters worse, Cholo Simeone was bitter by an Argentine.
Marcos Acuña hit a great header to score the only goal of the match when he averaged the second half of the game.
The "Egg" entered the rival area alone, took advantage of the distraction of the visiting defenders and changed the stick to Oblak after connecting with his head the center of Jesús Navas.
Of course, the goal was not exempt from controversy: in the previous play there was an alleged hand of Lucas Ocampos, another of the Argentines present in this match.
The former River had previously had the opening of the scoreboard on his feet but Oblak saved him a penalty.
Unlike Acuña, Ocampos did not play the entire game.
It came out shortly from the end.
For his part, Franco "Mudo" Vázquez, another Argentine from Sevilla, entered to play the last minutes.
Instead, Alejandro "Papu" Gómez stayed on the bench.
Meanwhile, at Atlético de Madrid, Ángel Correa entered the first half for the injured Brazilian Renan Lodi.
And the former San Lorenzo had the tie on his feet near the epilogue of the meeting.
Luis Suárez assisted him and Angelito defined first with the right.
Bono, Sevilla goalkeeper took the shot out.
