Match3 Jun 2028

13 unbeaten for River Plate

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 13 matches without defeat is a foundation River Plate did not have in the autumn.

Player ratings5 Jun 2028

Both of them Enzo Taborda's — 9.26

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.26, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match5 Jun 2028

The view from the top for River Plate

36 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Enzo Taborda is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.53 with 16 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Market5 Jun 2028

César Brítez asks to leave River Plate

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets5 Jun 2028

The paperwork begins on Adrián Alcaraz

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. River Plate have done the hard part with Tijuana, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Rodrigo Mosqueira signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rodrigo Mosqueira commits to River Plate for another 2 years.

Squad5 Jun 2028

A falling-out at River Plate

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

Match3 Jun 2028

The run at home goes on for River Plate

10 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match15 May 2027

11 matches without a win for River Plate

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around River Plate are no longer polite ones.

Squad17 May 2027

Rodolfo Rodríguez is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Rodolfo Rodríguez: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match12 May 2027

River Plate out of the cup

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

Match17 May 2027

River Plate are in real trouble now

Position 11, 9 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

The dugout17 May 2027

Matías Cañete: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” River Plate have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market17 May 2027

Germán Núñez is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at River Plate is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Player ratings17 May 2027

Manuel Schupp was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. 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 May 2027

A hand in 2 of them from Enzo García — 7.95

Marked 7.95. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad17 May 2027

Words exchanged at River Plate

Juan Franco and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Andrés Duarte

27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. River Plate lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

Anthoni turns down River Plate

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Internacional keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Tempers go at River Plate

Juan Franco was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

River Plate make their move for Nelson Eliseche

$89.0K on the table at Cerro Porteno. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

Lokomotiv Plovdiv tell River Plate: Enzo Espinoza is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A move César Brítez would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. César Brítez is living that version at River Plate, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

River Plate try to borrow Bruno Duarte

Vasco da Gama have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad28 Dec 2026

César Brítez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” César Brítez and River Plate agree another 3 years.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Jonathan Amarilla gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jonathan Amarilla is on it.
