River fans filled the Madre de Ciudades stadium and became locals in Santiago del Estero again. In addition to having sold out all the seats and having many cheering for the team, tonight they had the presence of a truly special fan, someone who knows the weight of a World Cup and who has carried River in his heart since he was a child.
Regard Exequiel Palacios, who never forgets his roots nor his love for the red band. On holiday in Argentina and with a few days free to celebrate with his family in Tucumán, the former Millonario midfielder went to Santiago del Estero to watch the final of the Champions Trophy.
A few minutes before the start of the match, Exequiel Palacios entered the stadium escorted by Los Borrachos del Tablón, the courageous group of the River. The Bayer Leverkusen player was included in the popular list with the aim of encouraging the Millionaire as another fan, following the example of what was done in the past by Fernando Cavenaghi and, a few weeks ago, by Keko Villalva.
