The Historia River stated that, after Independiente Rivadavia's victory over Banfield, River had been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores through the annual table for the second consecutive year. They referred to the situation as a "disgrace" and described the championship as devalued; they also pointed out that River had not won titles or finished among the top four or five positions. The author added that if River did not win its four knockout matches in the Clausura, it would again have as its main objective to qualify for the 2028 Libertadores in 2027 and would compete in the Sudamericana against Academia Puerto Cabello. Excluding the period from 2010 to 2014, which they considered atypical, they argued that River had never gone two consecutive years without playing in the Libertadores since Argentine football had more than two spots. According to what was written, the team was no longer even competing with the Brazilians but was directly not participating. #RiverPlate #CopaLibertadores #FútbolArgentino (translated)
Gen stated that, under Di Carlo's management, the team had suffered a series of bad results which he attributed to the incompetence of its leaders. He pointed out that in less than a year they lost three derbies, set a historical record for consecutive defeats, and were eliminated from the Libertadores 2026 for the first time in years; he also predicted that they would probably not compete in the next edition either. He also described the performances in the Argentine Cup and the South American Cup as shameful, stating that the club had let a final slip away in Córdoba and wasted hundreds of millions of dollars. He added that the management had dismissed two coaches, turned to someone who was not one, and improvised in the renewal of the squad. Gen rejected the notion that it was bad luck and described the events as a series of mistakes that, as he wrote, evidenced the absence of direction, leadership, and a footballing project. Finally, he urgently called for elections and warned that the damage could be irreparable. #Fútbol #CrisisDeportivo #EleccionesUrgentes (translated)
