Riquelme boasts about Boca's run against River | OneFootball

The president, who returned to the Monumental after a year away, did not formally speak to the press but did drop a couple of remarks “in passing” that have already gone viral.

“We’ve won two Superclásicos in six months,” Román said as he walked toward the team bus, also recalling last November’s 2-0 win at La Bombonera. But he did not stop there: amid the afternoon’s controversy, the idol was blunt about the foul that led to the goal: “It was a penalty, come on”, he said with a smile, backing Darío Herrera’s decision, which all of River loudly protested.
