"Close the stadium, you've just handed a title on paper" was one of the most repeated phrases, turning the administrative coronation of Canalla into a national trend.
Memes about Rosario Central champion Under the accusation of having won an "on-paper championship", X (ex Twitter) users flooded the platform with fierce criticism, irony, and memes targeting the leadership of Argentine football.
According to the Argentine News Agency, the decision was made unanimously in a meeting of directors, where it was established to reward the team that accumulated the most points in the General Table.
The trophy was received at the event by the club president, Gonzalo Belloso, the head coach Ariel Holan, and the team's leaders, Jorge Broun and Ángel Di María.
Rosario Central updated the stars on its crest The presence of "Fideo" (Di María's nickname) was one of the focal points of digital ridicule.
Various illustrations showed caricatures of AFA president Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia presenting the cup to the national team idol in an office, questioning the sporting merit of the title.
Among the most viral images, users declared the end of credibility in national sports with tombstones reading "Argentine Football 1893 - 2025" and "DECEASED" stamps over the AFA crest.
The indignation centered on the lack of direct competition for the trophy.
The surprising resolution of the Professional Football League's (LPF) Executive Committee to award the "League Champion 2025" title to Rosario Central immediately sparked a storm on social media.
Many fans compared the situation to the honorary title granted to Chapecoense after their air tragedy, contrasting it with this case, which they described as a "gift" and a "shame".
