South American Cup 2014

River came from being champion with Ramón Díaz and, although he lost the local two-time championship at the hands of Racing, he managed to eliminate Boca for the first time in the cycle and crowned the year by winning the final against the tough Atlético Nacional de Colombia.

Recopa Sudamericana 2015

River confirmed its character as a cup team in a series against Edgardo Bauza's San Lorenzo, who had just raised the Copa Libertadores the previous year.

Carlos Sánchez's goals for the 1-0 victories at the Monumental and the Nuevo Gasómetro gave shape to a new River Plate joy.

Copa Libertadores 2015

The time came for the first great trial by fire for the River del Muñeco and, after 19 years, the Millionaire was able to once again get the most prestigious title on the continent.

With a complicated group stage that he managed to overcome, another elimination of Boca with the pepper spray incident included and the subsequent series against Cruzeiro, Guaraní and Tigres, in Núñez the third conquest of America was celebrated.

Suruga Bank 2015

Less than a week after winning the Libertadores, River traveled to Japan to face Gamba Osaka.

The difference between the teams was notorious and, with a 3-0 win, the American champion prolonged the celebrations.

Recopa Sudamericana 2016

For the second consecutive year, the Millionaire played the Recopa, with the exception that this time he arrived as the last winner of the Libertadores and, therefore, defined the series at home.

After drawing 0-0 against Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia, they beat it 2-1 at the Monumental.

Argentina Cup 2016

After a poor year in the domestic competition, River had the only option to win the Copa Argentina to enter the Libertadores the following year.

He did it in an unforgettable final in which he beat Rosario Central 4-3, in Córdoba, and Gallardo won the first local title since his arrival.

Argentina Cup 2017

2017 was not an easy year for River.

After an enormous effort that was not enough to prevent Boca from being champion in the first semester, he suffered in the second half of the year the very hard elimination of the Copa Libertadores on the Lanús court.

Almost like a consolation prize, but at the same time to continue the tradition of celebrating every year, he won the Argentine Cup against Atlético Tucumán in Mendoza.

Argentina Super Cup 2017

The second official final in history between River and Boca had a very special value and the Millionaire was far from his best level.

However, he was more effective in the Mendoza Superclásico, he had a magnificent Franco Armani on goal and, with a 2-0 victory, he celebrated in March 2018 a title that he had never won before.

"Playing badly all these months was part of the strategy," Gallardo said ironically.

Libertadores Cup 2018

The most epic of Marcelo Gallardo's deeds as River's coach.

With a road full of obstacles that he was able to overcome by beating Racing, Independiente and Gremio, the Millionaire reached a final against Boca that would mark a before and after in the history of Argentine and South American football.

After the 2-2 equality in La Bombonera and the incidents that took the revenge very far from the Monumental, the Muñeco team won 3-1 in the extension in Madrid and achieved a triumph for eternity.

Recopa Sudamericana 2019

After the 1-0 suffered in the first leg in Curitiba, River turned the series back to Athletico Paranaense with goals from Ignacio Fernández, Lucas Pratto and Matías Suárez.

El Millonario showed a very different face in the rematch that had been seen in Brazil and Gallardo became, with 10 titles, the most winning coach in the history of the institution.

Argentina Cup 2019

The fall in Lima to Flamengo in the final of the Copa Libertadores was a hard blow for the Millionaire, but true to form, the Doll's team quickly recovered with a title.

After beating Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero 3-0 in Mendoza, he lifted the third Argentine Cup of the cycle.

Argentina Super Cup 2019

The final between River and Racing was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was only played in 2021. In the meeting that marked the official inauguration of the Sole Mother of Cities Stadium in Santiago del Estero, the Millionaire achieved the advantage through the ball stopped and was relentless counterattack to crush his rival 5-0 and celebrate again.
