Racing enjoyed a crazy party after his big win against Atletico Tucuman, until his striker Enzo Copetti appeared to draw a striking sentence: “Yes, we are going to be champions”, he declared as if to contradict the superstitious. There is the Academy, with its valuable triumph and with its words, giving flight to its dreams…

Now Racing reached the escort line together with Atlético Tucumán with 44 points. The leader with 45 units is Boca, but with one game less. Attentive with 41 River and Hurricane appear.
