This Argentine club on the verge of pulling off a stunning feat 🤯 | OneFootball

A greater achievement than Leicester? 

This might just be the season of miracles. After Mjaällby’s astonishing title win in Sweden, a village of 1,500 inhabitants that was still playing in the fourth division just a few years ago, a similar story could be unfolding in Argentina.

You’ve probably never heard of this club, but Deportivo Riestra, yet another Buenos Aires club, could be the next champion of Argentina. And that would be incredible for a team that had only ever played in the lower divisions until its historic promotion to the first division in 2023.

Of course, it’s still far too early to consider the title likely, as the Argentine championship is played in two phases (a league stage followed by a playoff phase with the top 16 teams, the top eight from each group).

But qualifying for the final phase is already a huge achievement for the club, which sits atop Group B and can dare to dream given its record and performances, like that huge win against River Plate at the Monumental a month ago (2-1).

To go for the title just two years after reaching the first division... the story would be absolutely incredible!
