Gago is such a loser like seriously f*** off your a waste of space. Anyone who calls on him is a Pejorative Slur.

Europe got a taste of the best, craziest tourney in the world. Quintero is one of my favorite players, what a beautiful goal. He changed the whole match.

Then and there
So, River won't have much time to prepare for the Club World Cup, where they'll play in a week's time. At least Real Madrid will have even less time since they have a one more game before that. Adding that to their poor performances, Real can probably be beaten there.

Madrid has the most Argentinian expats in the world, part of why they chose to move it there.

Shame a garbage red card ruined the extra time.

Doesn't River and Boca play in the Argentinian league against each other? If so, why isn't there this much war during those games as well? Or it is and just isn't publicize like this game was?

It's a little less heightened when a title isn't on the line but yes incidents have occurred in league meetings as well.

Amazing work done by Copa 90 on this to show the significance of this derby! Well worth the watch!

River ends up losing to Al Ain in the Club World Cup, lol. The drawn out schedule and travel couldn't have helped.
