🚨Starting XIs confirmed: Gallardo says farewell to the Monumental

The Estadio Mâs Monumental is preparing for one of the most emotional events in recent times. This Thursday, starting at 19:15, River Plate will host Banfield for the seventh round of the 2026 Torneo Apertura, in what will be Marcelo Gallardo's last match as the head of the Núñez team.

After a glorious era, the "Muñeco" seeks to bid farewell with a victory that will propel the "Millonario" up the table and bring a smile back to the fans, who promise an unforgettable reception. However, Gustavo Munúa's Banfield is not arriving as a mere spectator; the "Taladro" will try to take advantage of the home team's emotional burden to strike and sink River's aspirations in the tournament.

Under the refereeing of Hernán Mastrángelo, the footballing nation will turn its eyes to Núñez for the closing of a legendary cycle.
