FILE - In this Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2017 file photo, Atletico coach Diego Simeone watches the game during a Group C Champions League soccer match between Atletico Madrid and Qarabag at the Metropolitano stadium in Madrid, Spain. Nearly 20 years after his father scuppered Juventus' title hopes, Giovanni Simeone has made it up to the Serie A club. Current Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone fired Lazio to a 1-0 win against Juventus in April 2000, with the capital club going on to finish a point above the Bianconeri to win the title. On Sunday, 18 years later, the younger Simeone netted a hat trick to help Fiorentina beat Juve's closest challengers Napoli 3-0 and leave the Bianconeri on the brink of a seventh successive title.
