Nahuel Barrios' record against Vélez, his place in Ciclón history | OneFootball

In the middle of a dull, scoreless match at the Nuevo Gasómetro, the draw against Vélez at least left one reason to smile for the azulgrana faithful. Nahuel “Perrito” Barrios came off the bench and reached 200 official matches with San Lorenzo, joining the select group of just 40 players who have managed to surpass that mark in the club’s entire history.

“Perrito’s” path was not easy. Since that dream debut with a dramatic late goal against Universidad Católica in the 2017 Copa Libertadores, the midfielder had to battle his way through, going out on loan to Defensa y Justicia, Central Córdoba, and Barracas Central. However, his sense of belonging always brought him back to Boedo, where today he is one of the leaders of the current squad alongside “Pocho” Cerutti, the other player who has already gone past 200 appearances.

Now, the team led by “Pipi” Romagnoli is focused on its last chance. This Saturday at 2:00 p.m., San Lorenzo visits Platense needing a win to keep alive its hopes of reaching the playoffs.
