Simeone scores in Torino-Lazio and celebrates like Sal Da Vinci: 'It will always be yes'

Giovanni Simeone scored a goal in the match between Torino and Lazio, celebrating with gestures from Sal Da Vinci's Sanremo-winning song dedicated to his wife.

During the first half of the match between Torino and Lazio, Giovanni Simeone scored the opening goal for Torino. Following his goal, he celebrated in front of the camera with a choreography inspired by Sal Da Vinci's song 'Per sempre sì', which recently won the Sanremo Festival, and is dedicated to love. The song's themes resonate with Simeone, as he incorporated gestures such as pointing to the camera, touching his heart, and indicating his wedding ring to symbolize his love and commitment.

Simeone, who played for Napoli from 2022 to 2025—the favorite club of singer Sal Da Vinci—showed his appreciation not only for the music but also for the emotional connection that the song represents. His gestures mirrored Da Vinci’s performance, especially the poignant lyrics that emphasize enduring love and partnership, creating a beautiful blend of football and heartfelt tribute in the stadium.

This celebration not only highlights Simeone's personal life as he dedicates this moment to his wife, Giulia Coppini, whom he married in 2021, but also showcases the cultural significance of music in Italian football. The merging of a sporting achievement with a romantic celebration underscores how athletes often use their platform to express personal milestones, creating memorable narratives that resonate with fans both on and off the pitch.
