After connecting with his head in the center of the area, he hung on the wire like Butter Martínez in the 90s, and with his index finger near his mouth, he turned it over and over.

It is that there is nothing worse for a scorer to accumulate games without scoring. Blessed worn 10 matches without inflating the net. And the mufa was removed no less than in the Superclásico against River. At 19 ‘of the second half, Juan Ramírez’s corner came from the left and Tube got the header that allowed to beat Franco Armani.
