“Come, come, sing with me, that you will find a friend, that hand in hand, for Leo Ponzio, we will all turn around”thunders in Udaondo and Figueroa Alcorta when Leonardo Ponzio enters the Monumental playing field for the last time, with a light that focuses only on him. The player with the most titles (17) in the history of the club stands in the middle of the field, raises his right arm and brings his left to his heart, turns on his axis and greets all four sides. Then, he grabs his head from the emotion that invades him and the journalist Matías Martin, host of the party, brings him the microphone and Ponzio, with a broken voice, thanks the fans and all his former teammates and his family: “Without you I would not have achieved everything I dreamed of but never imagined”.
