The 'Millionaire', after their worst year in the Gallardo era, is now hanging by a thread to qualify for the next Libertadores, directly depending on their direct rivals becoming champions.

However, they still have a chance to access through the playoff route, needing Boca, Argentinos, or LanĂșs to win the current tournament title. 

To add to the intrigue, the situation is even more dramatic: the three teams that can "lend a helping hand" to River are on the same side of the Clausura bracket.

Will River want their fierce rival to take the title and thus be in the next Copa Libertadores?
