The FIFA Club World Cup highlighted four Argentine footballers who are part of the River Plate team coached by Marcelo Daniel Gallardo. These players are Enzo Pérez, Gonzalo Montiel, Sebastián Driussi, and Lucas Martínez Quarta, who have been essential in winning the club's third and fourth Copa Libertadores titles in 2015 and 2018.

In an emotional message on social media, the club emphasized Sebastián Driussi's return to the team after his time in Major League Soccer with Austin FC. During his stay in the U.S. league, Driussi played 115 matches, scored 51 goals, and provided 17 assists, showcasing his value as a versatile forward.

Driussi's return to River Plate adds to the high expectations surrounding Gonzalo Montiel and Lucas Martínez Quarta, who have recently played in Serie A and the Premier League, respectively, maintaining good physical condition that will be crucial in the Club World Cup. On the other hand, Enzo Pérez's experience and leadership in midfield will be fundamental resources for the team in the decisive phase of the matches.

In response to the FIFA Club World Cup post, River Plate, through its verified official account on Instagram, also joined in the emotional messages, showing support and anticipation for these standout footballers who represent the club.
