River Plate's debut in the 2026 Copa Sudamericana was not only news for the draw against Blooming in Bolivia, but also for the strong discontent generated by the broadcast of the match. The exclusivity of the match against the Bolivian team by a single cable signal (DirecTV) through the DSports channel and its streaming platform (DGO) sparked a wave of criticism that became the central theme of the day. According to the Argentine News Agency, 'Millionarios' fans used the social network X to express their dissatisfaction at being unable to watch the game on traditional sports channels. The name of the provider company quickly became a trending topic on social media when users reported technical failures and signal cuts during the match in Bolivia. The virtual anger had been escalating since the preview, when it was learned that the company had launched a differential subscription to follow the team's international campaign under coach Coudet. Although members had a benefit to subscribe to the package for 20,800 pesos, the massive complaint focused on the limited access for the general public.
