River Plate Statements

Demichelis spoke after the victory in the first leg: "I analyze beyond the goals, in general terms we played a great match. For many, the result was too little, but the only one to blame for not scoring the third or fourth was the goalkeeper, one of the stars of the match with seven saves. There was one big culprit and it reflects the general analysis of the match. We went for it in the second half, we are not stingy, we go forward, we look for more? It was clear that it was going to be an even match, with a DT that knows us very well and made things difficult for us. I am very happy that the team has realized that we can compete with them as equals".

River Plate Statement

Manuel Lanzini spoke after his return to the Argentine team: "I'm very excited, eager to start. I'm very happy to be here and to wear these colors again. I come to a totally different River than the one I left and with the illusion of all the fans. I never doubted it, I am a guy who likes to listen to everything but River was always a priority at a time when I think it was the best for my career".

"I am a River fan and my dream was to play in the club's first team. I love scoring goals against Boca because I'm a River fan."
