The former president of River Plate recalled a statement made by Mauricio Macri before the final of the Copa Libertadores in 2018 in Madrid. In the post, the former club president remembered a phrase that Macri told him at that time.
"I remember that Macri told me before the final that 'River has nothing to do with Madrid.' And well, we ended up in history," revealed the former president of the millionaire club. These words resurfaced in the context of the recently released documentary series about Marcelo Gallardo's team.
The 2018 Copa Libertadores final was historic for River Plate as the team managed to defeat Boca Juniors at the Santiago Bernabéu, home stadium of Real Madrid, after a match full of emotions. This memory shared by the former president reflects the importance and impact of the achievement obtained by River on that occasion.
