Match19 Aug 2026

River Plate out of the cup

San Telmo ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market24 Aug 2026

River Plate turn down Genoa for Ángel Correa

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market24 Aug 2026

Terms done: Santiago Beltrán is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Morelia waiting with a shirt. Nobody at River Plate is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market24 Aug 2026

Tomás Galván says no to Andorra

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Tomás Galván had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to River Plate's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at River Plate has to find a result from somewhere.

Market24 Aug 2026

Gimnàstic join the queue for Tobías Andrada

Add another name to the list: Gimnàstic have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Tobías Andrada. The answer from River Plate has not changed — yet.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Sebastián Driussi was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.32. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Mauro Arambarri runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Fausto Vera

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The Defensa y Justicia Post

17 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market17 Aug 2026

Defensa y Justicia say no — this time

The offer from Málaga for Santiago Sosa Yung was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market17 Aug 2026

Business is business: David Barbona goes

Ypsonas paid $920.0K and Defensa y Justicia took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Juan Manuel Gutiérrez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Defensa y Justicia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Defensa y Justicia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Damián Fernández was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Tomás Galván will join Defensa y Justicia for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Tomás Galván has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Defensa y Justicia have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Defensa y Justicia are still strangers to each other

13 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Defensa y Justicia pick somebody else ahead of Matías Borgogno

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Sergio Arias was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Defensa y Justicia dressing room was either.

Match15 Aug 2026

No goals between Defensa y Justicia and Boca Juniors

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Boca Juniors will be the happier side with the point.

Market17 Aug 2026

Eyes on Ángel Correa again

The phone has started ringing about Ángel Correa again, and this time the name on the line is Genoa. River Plate are listening politely and promising nothing.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

River Plate to lose Tomás Galván for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Tomás Galván has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at River Plate

Mauro Arambarri and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Matías Viña was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Lucas Beltrán stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.51 on the card, and the River Plate support went home talking about one name.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at River Plate

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lautaro Rivero was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match15 Aug 2026

Honours even between River Plate and Banfield

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Half-satisfied: Iván Miranda on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Market17 Aug 2026

The Mauro Arambarri story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Mauro Arambarri signs something — a contract at River Plate or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

12 saves: Ezequiel Centurión was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 12 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

There is money circling River Plate

Nothing signed, nothing denied, and a lot of people suddenly very careful about their wording. Supporters who have been through one of these know the quiet part lasts months.

Market3 Aug 2026

Cesena come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and River Plate did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market3 Aug 2026

Mauro Arambarri wants more than River Plate are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Nicolás Otamendi signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nicolás Otamendi and River Plate agree another 1 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Mauro Arambarri in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at River Plate this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Nicolás Otamendi calls time on his country

“139 caps was 139 more than the boy who started ever expected.” At 38 he has stepped away from the national side and has not stepped away from River Plate.

Market3 Aug 2026

Eyes on Sebastián Driussi again

The phone has started ringing about Sebastián Driussi again, and this time the name on the line is Cádiz. River Plate are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match1 Aug 2026

River Plate come up short against Racing Club

Racing Club left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
