36 saves: Camilo Ramirez was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 36 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Platense taken apart
0‑7 to Sud America, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
Match5 Aug 2026
Platense bow out of the cup
Racing go through and Platense go home, 1‑19 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

A move Pablo Muscarelli 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. Pablo Muscarelli is living that version at Platense, and it tends to show in the first month.

A cup hiding at Racing leaves Platense explaining themselves
1-19, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Santiago Vargas signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Santiago Vargas commits to Platense for another 3 years.

Pablo Muscarelli is a Platense player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

As if he never left: Danilo Fernández returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Danilo Fernández is a Platense player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Martín Mazza is a Platense player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.
