In yesterday’s Copa Libertadores match, Palmeiras’ Paraguayan defender Gustavo Gómez was a standout player and scored the first goal for Verdao against River with a header, for which Franco Armani bore some responsibility. After the match, in which the press unanimously—including the TV broadcast—named him man of the match, many Boca fans remembered this. The coach was Guillermo Barros Schelotto, and he requested Gómez from then-president Daniel Angelici, after which Gómez was on the verge of signing with Boca.
