The 'Millionaire' was eliminated by Platense in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Opening Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF).River Plate experienced a tough elimination this Tuesday after losing on penalties to Platense in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Opening Tournament. With this defeat at the Mâs Monumental Stadium, the 'Millionaire' has lost eight consecutive times by this means with Marcelo Gallardo as coach. Against the 'Squid', Kevin Castaño and Sebastián Driussi were the players who missed their shots. Despite the good performance of Franco Armani, the team from Núñez could not overcome their rival and lost the shootout by 4-2. The last victory of River Plate on penalties was in the CONMEBOL Libertadores 2019 against Cruzeiro. Since then, it is in the worst streak in its history. Impactante: River lleva 8 tandas de penales consecutivas PERDIENDO. — SportsCenter (@SC_ESPN) May 21, 2025 Marcelo Gallardo became the River coach who lost the most penalty shootouts at the helm of the club – he won four series and lost eight – and did not dodge the issue in his press conference. "We will try to work not to reach that instance and, if it happens, it will be a different story. We are invaded by that negativity that is in the environment that we do not have that possibility and that I particularly do not like those instances, but football makes you reach those instances. When that happens it will be another story and the player should go with confidence and conviction to kick. The one from Talleres and today's leave us a very bitter taste. But the penalty shootouts in these definitions have not favored us", said the 'Doll'. 📸 JUAN MABROMATA - AFP or licensors

🚑 Bad news for Boca Juniors ahead of the Superclásico
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Fernando Gago faces setbacks ahead of Sunday's match against River Plate for Matchday 15 of the 2025 Opening Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF). Four days before the Argentine Superclásico, Boca Juniors has some problems assembling the starting lineup. Fernando Gago has to make decisions regarding some players who are experiencing physical issues. Advertisement The coach of the 'Xeneize' is most concerned that Tomás Belmonte, who had a high probability of being a starter, was absent from Wednesday's morning training session. Belmonte was unable to train due to a feverish condition, although he presented himself at the sports city to be examined by the club's doctors and then retired to his home. Gago hopes for his favorable evolution in the coming days. Another piece of bad news for Boca Juniors is that Fernando Gago has practically ruled out Milton Giménez and Ander Herrera for the match against River. Giménez suffered a sprain in his right ankle against Belgrano, was unable to finish the match, and they don't want to risk him. Meanwhile, Herrera hasn't played since March 30 against Newell's, when he entered in the second half and suffered a muscle injury five minutes later. According to Federico Cristofanelli in Infobae, the Basque midfielder will miss what would have been his first Superclásico. Advertisement On the other hand, Edinson Cavani and Kevin Zenón have worked with caution on Thursday, but everything indicates that they will be part of the call-up to visit the Estadio Mâs Monumental this Sunday, April 27. Boca Juniors' possible starting lineup would be with Agustín Marchesín; Luis Advíncula, Rodrigo Battaglia, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco; Tomás Belmonte, Milton Delgado, Kevin Zenón; Carlos Palacios; Edinson Cavani, and Miguel Merentiel. Boca Juniors is already classified for the round of 16 of the 2025 Opening Tournament. Since their elimination in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, they have won six of their last seven matches and are the sole leaders of Zone A.

🎙️ Strong message from Gallardo to River
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The Millonario coach acknowledged that his players did not have a good performance in the 0-0 draw against Godoy Cruz on Matchday 5 of the 2025 Opening Tournament of the Professional Football League (LPF). With the victory over Independiente at the Monumental, it seemed that River Plate had found its best football rhythm, but the team led by Marcelo Gallardo was not close to that version in Mendoza, where they drew 0-0 against Godoy Cruz in the fifth matchday of the Argentine First Division tournament. Gallardo spoke to the media in the post-match press conference and sent a strong message to the squad for the poor performance. "There are no excuses, what we did today was not good. We were very predictable, we didn't have ferocity, aggressiveness in the offensive zone, to finish off Godoy Cruz. What was seen is what was seen, you just have to take charge, because that's the only way", analyzed the 'Muñeco'. "LA RESPONSABILIDAD ES DE UNO"Marcelo Gallardo habló en conferencia de prensa, luego del empate de River frente a Godoy Cruz, y fue autocritico del funcionamiento del equipo:"Estamos en deuda, lo sabemos y sabemos la exigencia que tenemos. Pero tenemos que seguir insistiendo.… — TNT Sports Argentina (@TNTSportsAR) February 13, 2025 River Plate's coach acknowledged that he has to work more with his team: "I understand that we are at fault, we are in debt. We analyze and are aware of the demand we have. I analyze the match, I say what I see, the rest is for tomorrow at the training ground." Additionally, Gallardo took the blame and kept the rest for the intimacy of the River Camp. "The responsibility is mine, the things we need to give more continuity to the game I communicate to the footballers, I'm not going to communicate them to you. It's my responsibility and that's it. Tomorrow I'll work with the team again", he remarked. In the next matchday, River Plate will face Lanús on Sunday at 19:15 (Argentine time) at the Monumental Stadium. 📸 Marcelo Endelli - 2025 Getty Images
