Marcelo Gallardo broke the silence after several months of staying out of current football. While he waits for an offer that seduces him, he recalled the Copa Libertadores final between River and Boca in 2018.
About that game, he reflected: “Nobody wanted to play the final in Madrid. I saw fear of losing on both sides. Everyone thought about what would happen to the loser, but no one thought about what winning might mean. That seems average to me. I understand the fear of losing, but sometimes it is so strong that it paralyzes”.

The second leg was played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on December 9, 2018. The match was very exciting and both teams played very intensely. But the big winner was Gallardo’s River.
The score was 3-1 for the Millionaire, who was crowned champion with goals from Lucas Pratto in the 68th minute, Juan Fernando Quintero in the 109th minute, and Gonzalo Martínez in the 120th minute. The goal by Boca had been scored by Darío Benedetto at minute 44.
