The dispute for the title of the Argentine Super Cup between River and Estudiantes de La Plata brings this Wednesday to Córdoba the fight between two historic teams who want to expand their legend. The “millionaire” team aims to become the most successful in this tournament facing the champion of Professional League and to that of Argentine Cupto break the record of two titles he shares with Boca, and once again win an award he hasn’t won since 2019.
Núñez’s men arrived winners of the 2023 Champions Trophy last December, albeit immersed in a sea of doubts after having won only one of their last six matches played in the League Cup.
Nonetheless, Martín Demichelis’ team, seeking his third title as River manager, after the Championship and the Champions Trophy, remains the only unbeaten team in the league.
On the other hand, ‘Pincha’ arrives champion of the Argentina Cup, after beating Defensa y Justicia in the last edition, breaking a 13-year drought without touching metal.
The team led by Eduardo Domínguez is one of the best teams with five wins and three draws in 10 games played, although with the bitterness of having lost the last two games, the only defeats of the year, against Platense and Sarmiento.
