River Plate defeated Palmeiras 0-2 in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinal, but it was not enough to tie the aggregate (3-2), and had to say goodbye to the international tournament despite the victory.
Marcelo Gallardo, DT of River Plate, spoke to the media after the match ended and referred to the tough elimination suffered at Allianz Parque. The ‘doll’ did not want to enter into the controversies of the match, caused by the decisions of the VAR, and in a very discreet way, he only had words of thanks to his players, whom he highlighted for their sacrifice on the field and congratulated for the good game that they made.
“The balance of the year for all we have already done, after a pandemic compete as we did. I come to recognize and value my footballers who have moved, have represented me, I am proud of the position in the game. It is a full feeling that I have. Thanking them for the game they played, they dignify my profession, “he said.
Likewise, the strategist omitted the disputed plays and only ‘wish him luck’ to Palmeiras’, a team that will play the final of the Cup against the winner of the key between Santos and Boca Juniors: “I wish Palmeiras luck and have a good year“, he finished.
