River knocked out of Copa Libertadores, social media erupts with memes | OneFootball

The Millionaire couldn’t handle Palmeiras in Brazil, fell 3-1 and said goodbye to the continental tournament. The defeat sparked mockery on social media, which didn’t spare Gallardo’s team.

River Plate suffered a crushing blow to their cup dreams: they lost 3-1 to Palmeiras and were eliminated from the 2025 Copa Libertadores with an aggregate score of 5-2. Marcelo Gallardo’s team had leveled the series thanks to a great header from Salas, but couldn’t hold on to the lead and ended up bowing out in the quarterfinals.

As is often the case in these situations, social media didn’t take long to react. Fans flooded Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with a wave of memes: some pointed to the defensive frailty, others made ironic jokes about Brazilian dominance in recent editions of the Cup, and there was no shortage of comparisons to previous eliminations.
