💡Weird Fun Facts:
In Gursken, Norway (not too far from where I grew up), there is a football pitch with artificial surface that’s named «River Plate».
The club that owns it plays in the Norwegian fifth tier and is called Larsnes/Gursken.
The football podcast 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙒𝙚 𝙒𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 is so good that it makes me wish football fans all over the world understood Swedish.

Congrats to
@rayadosninety
and former Millionarios Rogelio Funes Mori (who scored the lone goal) and Matías Kranevitter, who won the CONCACAF Champions League last night vs. Club América 1-0.
18 years ago the guy who’s got El Monumental tattooed on his forearm made his River Plate debut.
95 goals later he ended his River-career as the club’s captain, lifting the Superliga trophy as league champion!

If you’re a equipment freak like me this will find you interesting. Here’s a overview of CONMEBOL-clubs manufacturers.
What’s most interesting is the fact that only one major club’s equipment deal comes from Nike;

If any of your Feyenoord-followers or yourself have any questions about Lucas Pratto or if you’re wondering about something I’ll be happy to answer them for you guys!
Congratulations to

who finally captured the Primeira title again!🏆
Teo Gutierrez's old team won it tonight without even kicking a ball. Let the celebrations in Lisbon commence!
River-legend Ariel Ortega got himself a new tattoo. It depicts him and his son at the Monumental during his testemonial for River when his son came on to play alongside his dad for the last minutes of the game. The beautiful game 😍 [photo credit

Nacho Scocco have announced his retirement from football.
He may have started and finished his career at
@Newells_en
but to us he’ll always be a key player of Gallardo’s Millonarios that won the 2018 Copa Libertadores vs. Boca.
Enjoy your retirement,

In case you missed it: River Plate and its fans paid tribute to the River Plate World Cup 2022 winners: Aimar, Armani, Guido Rodríguez, Pezzella, Enzo Fernández, Julián Álvarez, Palacios and Montiel, each with his respective banner. Also: a Messi one in the center🏆

Ah well - happy birthday to me!

Name a better attacking quartet in South America, I’ll wait...

A few weeks ago I tweeted a picture of
@Ibra_official
in a River-jersey asking him to come to Buenos Aires and sign for us. Judging from this video from last night at the Monumental it seems as if I’ve been heard... 🥳😉😂
Welcome back to El Monumental, Nacho!!
One of the most vital parts of the 2018 Libertadores winning squad makes his return to Núñez and looks to be an integral part of Demichelis’ River Plate.
¡Bienvenido!
When Enzo Pérez rejected one last final european adventure (and a well paid one) with Trabzonspor, he did it because of these two.
He was always going to be a legend at River, but after yesterday’s game he will go down as an even bigger one.
River es familia♥️
I went on a Trabzonspor-podcast to tell the Karadeniz Fırtınası-fans all there is to know about Enzo Pérez ahead of his move to the Turkish side.
If you speak Turkish this shouldn’t be a problem at all🤪 ..and yes - my interview is in English! Enjoy!

Julian Álvarez‘s goal last night is a stunner.
If you ever wondered about Marcelo Gallardo’s football brain, here’s something for ya:
Just a split second before the goal he yells: «Juli, run in behind» to Álvarez.
🧠⚽️
Currently at Nadderud Stadium watching my favorite Norwegian team
@skbrann
in the Norwegian cup semi. 1-0 up at HT. Let’s just say that Nadderud is a far cry from El Monumental…
Here’s to a solid 2nd half from Brann!
¡VAMOS!
Happy B.D. to Leo Messi’s wife Antonella Roccuzzo and even a bigger congrats to his oldest son Thiago with his wise choice of football clubs from Argentina to support!
¡Felicidades!
I’ve seen some of the videos of what happened in Mexico last night. I advise you NOT to watch in general. People getting battered and some even got killed😢
This is not football at all. It’s not what football is about.
Those responsible aren’t fans - they’re criminals.
🙏♥️
Lucas Ocampos, Gonzalo Montiel and Erik Lamela are Europa League campeónes with Sevilla!
Congrats boys!
Gonzalo Montiel have now won nine major club trophies (!!) in his career plus a World Cup and Copa América at the national team level. Wow!🙌
#MillonariosAbroad
🗓75 years ago today Norway (and most of Europe) was liberated after WW2.
Thank you to the people who fought for the freedom and liberty of this country, and elsewhere in Europe. You are eternal heroes to me.
Happy liberation day!🇳🇴
🗓OTD 1996:
River Plate triumphs at home in a 2-0 win vs América de Cali to lift
@TheLibertadores
title for a second time in the club’s history🤩
@Crespo
with the goals🎯
Marcelo Gallardo won his 9th competitive title with River Plate tonight as either player/manager. He equals the great Ramón Díaz with this Libertadores title. He also becomes the first ever River-manager to win two Copa Libertadores.
Gracias Napoleón!⚔️
Lucas Pratto will join
@Feyenoor8195
on a six month loan with option to buy on Jan.1.
As much as I’m going to miss him it’s a good deal for River Plate. They will cut one of the club’s biggest salaries and Pratto will get much needed playing time in Rotterdam
This weekend River Plate will return to a newly laid pitch and those awful tracks removed from the stadium to finally play at home again. El Monumental has never looked better🤩

@RiverPlatePho
¡Feliz cumpleaños, Burrito!
Happy 49th birthday to River Plate legend Ariel Ortega! His career was up and down in Europe, but he ALWAYS delivered as a Millonario!♥️
Remember when he did this?⤵️
I’ve said this before and I ain’t afraid of repeating myself:
Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of Gallardo since taking over reigns at River is that he’s given Boca a River-complex.
In cup tournaments It’s now 5-0 to River.
¡Muñeco!
