The coach won three domestic championships and three international ones throughout his career, including the Inter-American Cup in 1973, the Copa Libertadores in 1984, and the Intercontinental Cup the same year against the English Liverpool. In addition to Pastoriza and Mori, four other players made history by winning titles with both teams: Norberto Raffo, Miguel Ángel Ludueña, Hugo ‘Perico’ Pérez, and Nery Domínguez. Domínguez was part of the Copa Sudamericana in 2017 with Independiente and was a local champion with Racing in 2019.
On the side of Independiente, an extensive list of footballers became champions only with the red team. In contrast, only seven players were champions exclusively with 'La Academia'. Additionally, there are those who played for both teams but did not leave a lasting mark on either.
Some players who changed teams stand out in history, such as Néstor Clausen from Racing to Independiente in 1995, José Serrizuela from Independiente to Racing in 1996, and Nery Domínguez from Independiente to Racing in 2018. Independiente and Racing will face each other in a new edition of the 'Clásico de Avellaneda' at the Libertadores de América stadium, where there is a list of around 70 players who have worn both jerseys.
In this edition number 224 of the Clásico de Avellaneda, Independiente and Racing will compete for victory at the Libertadores de América stadium. In the history of the clásico, around 70 players have had the experience of playing for both teams. One of the most notable transfers was José Omar Pastoriza to Independiente in 1966, where he became an iconic figure of the team by winning several important titles. Undoubtedly, the clásico promises to be an exciting encounter between two of Argentina's most emblematic teams.
