River wants to be one step closer to the big dream. It will play the return match at the Monumental stadium after the 1-1 draw in Chile against Colo Colo, with goals from Pezzella and Palacios in the first leg. The team that qualifies will play against the winner of Fluminense or Atlético Mineiro in the semi-finals, with the match being decided in Buenos Aires again for having been the best team in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.
In addition, the Millionaires are coming in on a high after winning the last Superclásico against Boca 1-0 at La Bombonera. Although they played with substitutes, the spirit of the entire squad led by Marcelo Gallardo is very high and they hope to be able to reflect this by advancing in the international competition.
BY: FRANCO ARMANI – He is key for Marcelo Gallardo, standing out for his composure and the great level he has had recently.
LD: FABRICIO BUSTOS – He arrived for this transfer market and stood on the side as if he had played for River all his life. Presence, sacrifice and direct play in attack.
DFC: GERMAN PEZZELLA – The world champion centre-back will lead his team as he has done since he arrived, even scoring River’s goal in the series so far.
DFC: LEANDRO GONZÁLEZ PIREZ – Following Paulo Díaz’s expulsion in Chile, he would be the one to replace him and after his good form at La Bombonera, he will try to confirm his good performance.
LI: MARCOS ACUÑA – Another world champion with Argentina who shows all the hierarchy with his direct game.
MC: MATIAS KRANNEVITTER – He is increasingly resembling the Krannevitter who came from the lower divisions and reached the First Division, taking an absolutely prominent place in the team and in the squad.
MC: SANTIAGO SIMON – He is another of the players who has revitalized his performance since the arrival of Marcelo Gallardo, with great sacrifice and scoring goals.
MC: NACHO FERNANDEZ – The midfielder will look to take control of the team and show all his experience in pursuit of qualification.
ED: MAXIMILIANO MEZA – Goal, play, mid-distance, tactical. One of the best signings for El Millonario in the transfer market.
DC: MIGUEL BORJA – Without a doubt, the team’s greatest scoring asset. If River makes it to the semi-finals, the Colombian striker will probably have a lot to do with it.
EI: CLAUDIO ECHEVERRI – The footballer who will soon play for Manchester City is a regular in attack with his great 1vs1 and with his dribbling he will try to take River to the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores.
