Barcelona Sporting Club has a storied history that includes significant victories and extraordinary feats. Winning in Argentina during the Copa Libertadores is a remarkable achievement, currently accomplished by only three coaches in the club's nearly 101-year history. Each of these coaches has made a lasting impact on the club's legacy, demonstrating the challenges and the significance of these victories against Argentine teams, which are traditionally strong in this tournament.

The first coach to achieve this notable feat was Otto Vieira in 1971, marking a historic moment for Ecuadorian football as it was the first time an Ecuadorian club defeated an Argentine club in official competition. This win not only provided a vital victory in a semifinal but also marked the first home defeat for Estudiantes de La Plata in Copa Libertadores history. The match was further distinguished by the fact that the only goal was scored by a priest, Juan Manuel Bazurko, making it a unique occurrence in professional football.

This victory is still celebrated today and is referred to as the ‘Hazaña de La Plata,’ signifying its importance in the club's narrative. The article highlights the prestige associated with such achievements and honors the coaches who have managed to secure these pivotal wins, emphasizing the historical context and the pride they instill in Barcelona SC's supporters.
