Around 10:00 p.m., this is what the corner of Bulevar and Marcial Candioti looked like:
The most resounding phrases of the fans were: “It is a happiness, a madness, inexplicable”; “It is a dream come true”; “We are champions, that’s it”; “Come on Domínguez dear”; “Stamina Colón and the Centennial neighborhood”; and “Thanks black, a thousand thanks”, which one of the celebrators said without a voice.
On Saturday, the area most affected by the caravans was Bulevar, however, this Sunday the parallel streets are saturated. Car delays take more than half an hour in some cases.

Air of Santa Fe
On the city’s waterfront, the image of the festivities was different from that of Bulevar. Outside the cars, the Sabaleros jumped and chanted crowded songs, surrounded by police personnel.
With this championship, Colón obtained the ticket to the Copa Libertadores 2022. His condition makes him worthy of competing in the next edition of the continental event, as will the next champion of the Argentine Cup and the three best placed in the annual table of positions, which are deducted based on the productions in the first phase of the League Cup and the Professional League Tournament -the competition that will come into effect as of next semester-.
For the other trophy that the Sabalero will compete will be the Argentine Super Cup, before the champion of the current Argentina Cup, that has at stake: Boca, River, Independiente, Racing, Defensa y Justicia, Sarmiento, Temperley, Talleres, Godoy Cruz, Estudiantes (RC), Villa San Carlos, Tigre, Board of Trustees, Gimnasia de La Plata, Argentinos Juniors, San Telmo and Banfield.

The secretary of Health from Santa Fe, Jorge Prietosaid this Sunday in Air of Santa Fe that the social behavior of the weekend for the festivities of the party was a “very low blow” for the health personnel.
“Today the percentage of occupation of critical beds is almost 100% and that has to occupy us a lot, fundamentally after what we saw yesterday. The joy and what it represented in the world of football is understood, but it was an unintelligible celebration , which could have been otherwise. It was a very low blow for health workers; they are the heroes of this pandemic and continue, despite fatigue, serving people in the best way, “said the portfolio leader to the describe the critical epidemiological and health situation in the province and the provincial capital.
