The thing is that Juan Domingo PERON (Evita’s husband) and one of his ministers (Mr. CEREIJO) were Racing fans, but Evita, who had no interest in football, saw Banfield as the people’s team (for that particular final match) and decided to support them (even if she was going against her husband’s team).

Especially the bit about Banfield having Evita’s support, given the (official) name of Racing’s stadium…

Back in 1951, Racing were the two-times defending champions and they had to play Banfield in a playoff to decide the league winners after both teams ended up with the same number of points.

Banfield was then labelled the “people’s team” as everybody wanted them to win. Even mythical Eva “Evita” Perón. Racing won and became the first team to win 3 leagues in a row (since football became professional in 1931).

Both teams are far from those glory days…

I, being a Racing fan, I’m really worried about having to face the relegation battle with a team full of youngters that will kill you with a rookie mistake like the one MENGHI made when he had no need to grab CVITANICH.

I think the play that really told the story of this game was when LUCHETTI saved a shot and the ball was heading for a corner kick to Racing and instead of going out, it hit the corner flag before a Banfield defender took control of it.

The people in charge of Racing are doing EVERYTHING wrong and we, the supporters, don’t even have luck on our side.

Part 2 of a very longggggggg season and it’s only getting worse and worse (with Colón beating Arsenal not giving us any help).

Racing should have been up 3-1 at some point in the second half and we lost 3-1 instead.

Blanquiceleste deserves it. The fans don’t.
