San Lorenzo, Independiente and Hurricane will try to cut a bad streak that has been champion at least 13 years. Platense goes for an unpublished trophy in its history.
The new format of the soccer Argentino delivered several surprises and, after months of matches, emotions and frustrations, the Opening Tournament He already has his four semifinalists. But the defining instances of the contest deliver a special details: Independent, Hurricane, San Lorenzo and Platense They will look for their place in the final and, with this, they will try to cut gusts without titles that, in some cases, exceed half a century.
The last local title of “Cyclone” was the 2013 initial tournamentwith Juan Antonio Pizzi as coach. That squad, which would then serve as the basis for consecration in the Copa Libertadores 2014, reached the championship with just 33 points on 19 dates, the champion with the lowest score since the short tournaments were established. Then, in 2016, he obtained the Argentine Super Cup With a forceful 4-0 on Boca, but his last league was already far in time.
The “Red” does not celebrate a league from the 2002 Opening Tournamentwhen he was champion of the hand of Américo Rubén Gallego, with a team full of figures such as Daniel Montenegro, Federico Insúa, Gabriel Milito, Lucas Pusineri and the tournament scorer, Andrés Silvera, author of 16 goals. That championship was number 16 in the professional era for the club, which he still could not repeat in the new millennium.
The last consecration in a League for Hurricane was in the Metropolitan 1973with César Luis Menotti as DT and a team remembered as one of the best in the history of Argentine football. Miguel Brindisi, Carlos Babington, René Houseman and Roque Atallay were the figures of a set that played to the rhythm of aesthetics and goals. Although the Argentine Super Cup 2015 won by beating River 1-0 with the goal of Edson Puch, his last League title dates back more than half a century.
The case of Platense is different from the other three, since the “squid” never raised a trophy of the First Division. His best result was the 1916 runner -up in the amateur era, behind Racing. Already in professionalism, the most recent milestone was the final of the 2023 League Cup, when 1-0 fell against Rosario Central in Santiago del Estero when Martín Palermo was directed. The cast of Saavedra, who recently returned to the highest category after years in promotion, is facing a historical possibility of achieving what he could never.
