Ahead of the Argentina Cup match between River Plate and Ciudad de Bolívar, a survey conducted by Clarín showed that most River fans are still firmly behind their coach Marcelo Gallardo. Fans traveled from various provinces, including Mendoza, Córdoba, and Santa Fe, to support their team at the match held at La Pedrera stadium. This highlights the passionate support River fans have for their team, despite geographical challenges.
