Belgrano's dig at River over the drop before the 2026 Apertura final | OneFootball

On its social media, the Pirate made a double-entendre post to remember the 2011 Promotion playoff.

At the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium, Belgrano de Córdoba will experience a special afternoon as it faces River in the Torneo Apertura final, where it will go for the first top-flight title in its history in Argentine football.

Before the match, the Córdoba-based Pirate uploaded its traditional matchday post on social media, and included a jab at the Millonario, reminding it of its relegation to Primera B Nacional in 2011 after beating it in the Promotion playoff by an aggregate score of 3-1.

“The B plays,” was the post from Belgrano’s official social media account, with a double meaning: not only is it one of the club’s nicknames, but it also brings back this memory for the team from Núñez because of that unforgettable Promotion playoff.

Fans quickly celebrated the jab in the comments and called for a repeat of the feat, since if Belgrano beats River at the Kempes, the club will lift the first star in its history in the top division of Argentine professional football.
