Uruguayan team captain: "We don't have a soccer field like this in Uruguayan soccer" River have won 81% of games and obtained 85% of the points in Núñez since Martín Demichelis took over. The numbers are fabulous and difficult to match.
Only Rosario Central, like Miguel Ángel Russo as a coach, comes a little closer to River. The ball stings them and falls on their chests, and it happens to us as a matter of habit, says River coach Álvaro Recoba. The impact of a European-level playing field that favors the home team and makes rivals uncomfortable is noticeable, says Diego Polenta, captain of Uruguay's national team. The game between River and Nacional will be played at the Monumental on April 12, 2024. The winner of the Libertadores will go on to play in the Copa del Rey in 2023, 2024 and 2026.
