students he hit Run the end of the Final tournament 2025: In regular time it was 1:1 after the great goal I wonder, Martinez and that agonizing headbutt Guido Carrilloand all the drama came with the penalties because the academy First he stood up, then Fernando Muslera He saved to equalize and was Franco Pardo the one that failed and ordered closure.
The moment the former Unión broke the racket, all the illusions of the Avellaneda ended: saying goodbye to the dream championship after the elimination of River and Boca, saying goodbye to the chance to further approach Independiente in the number of historic titles and giving up the Sudamericana when they entered the Copa Libertadores with a victory.
1,000 kilometers from home, this frustration hits even harder in the souls of the fans and is expressed in them three references from the racing world who had to endure the close-up of the television at that moment when the only thought that flashed through their minds was: “Swallow me dirt.”
This sequence was Hollywood-worthy because it took place on a grandstand Juan Sebastian Veron exploded surrounded by his colleagues, sanctioned by the AFA and confronted with Chiqui Tapiaenjoys the revenge of his life and celebrates an epic title that is also the first since his father’s death. Relief and complete happiness. On the other side, the opposite face.
After Pardos Palazzo the palazzo continues Guillermo Francella, Diego Milito And Gustavo Coastal. In a box, unresponsive and with a liquor nearby, the actor watched in amazement as the joy remained with the popular outsider. Almost as famous for his films and series as for his loyalty and love for the Academy, Francella has always been in racing, long before this new era where winning is the custom.
The life of a Francella fan is not that of the “Beautiful Morning” meme, but that of a person who suffers and suffers through bad times, and today, strangely enough, the complaint came again. That pain was visible in the few seconds the camera captured his sadness.
Diego appeared after Guille. The president, idol and champion, was a footballer and certainly knew it This agonizing draw from Carrillo was a sign of ill omen. The former striker, who celebrated a Champions League season for Inter, was keen to host the first local tournament of this racing, consecrated in February in the Cup Winners’ Cup, the first star of his management since the Sudamericana took place in Víctor Blanco’s time.

In leather, because of the heat but above all because of the adrenaline that punishment generates, In the end, Milito covered his head with his shirtin a typical reaction of someone who can’t take it anymore, who can’t take it anymore and sees everything that misses an inch or so of his players’ goal. Football, beautiful and harmful.
And what can we say about Costas, who was mascot, player, coach and ultimate symbol of this victorious era of racing, a team that dared to believe and gave battle to the strongest in Argentine football. “The goal is to become champion,” Gustavo said one day and it changed everyone’s mind.
But this time they had to lose, although everything was aimed at winning, when Maravilla’s magnificent goal became the champion’s flagship. After almost three hours of an endless battle in almost 40 degree heat, Costas lay completely helpless next to the chalk line, unresponsive, but only because he had already left everything.
“It hurts me very much to lose this title so narrowly,” Costa said in a press conference where he did not take questions. And he added: “Many thanks to this group who kept everything as calm as they did in every game. I even think we deserved to win, but football is like that and we didn’t know how to keep it up.”
The thing is, Racing held the title until Carrillo’s draw, which came thanks to a seemingly unnecessary violation by Gabriel Rojas against Joaquín Tobio Burgos. “He’s an idiot,” read the coach’s lips when he saw that Pincha’s draw could come. He also spoke there as a fan.
