Palms turn red from applause Nahuel Barrios. The party takes place in the cool night of Bajo Flores. Saint Lawrence beats Mouth and the New Gasometer delirious with happiness. The luminous sign reads ’10’. El Perrito sees him and is about to leave, replaced by Gonzalo Maroni in the last change that Ruben Darío Insua inserts to gain a few final seconds. And the ovation comes from the four sides of a packed stadium: “Doggy, Perriiiiiiito!”.

Barrios was the protagonist of the Cyclone’s 1-0 victory against Jorge Almirón’s Boca. From start to finish, the creative Barça midfielder was unstoppable. Starting from the middle, double five, as in the first part, or more advanced, as in the complementary. No one was able to stop him and rivals had to appeal infringements to bring him down.

“It is something dreamed up, something very beautiful that people applaud me. I’ve always dreamed of it from the Lessers. I have been here since I was ten years old and I am very happy with this”said the puppy. And I add: “Today I have my revenge here, Rubén is giving me a huge opportunity and I try to take advantage of it match after match. I am living this present very happily, with work and sacrifice”.

The little boy born and raised in the towers of Darsena Sud held a very high standard dressed in blue and red. He was also a figure in Mérida for the Copa Sudamericana (he played with a fever due to a flu condition) and has just converted and assisted against Atlético in Tucumán.

“We knew how to play. We played it like we were going to play a classic. My teammates made a barbaric effort so they deserve it”highlighted Barrios on the victory with Boca, which was celebrated in front of the popular because, in addition, the team closely follows the pointer River. “We gave people a great win, I hope they enjoy it”Nahuel closed.

With grazing on his feet, speed and an indecipherable short dribble, the Perrito is an enigma for any defender. Now it was Boca’s turn to suffer.
