"Para vos, Tatú"
Porque Ivó Kestler, autor del primer gol de Arsenal ante Ituzaingó, tuvo un emotivo festejo dedicado a Tatú, el querido gato del club que falleció hace una semana.

La gente quiere convertir la derrota en una victoria moral y leccion de vida, ahi te das cuenta quien sabe de futbol y no. El partido de ayer lo pierde el cuerpo tecnico, baile tactico de España. Asimismo este cuerpo tecnico se gano el derecho a desperdiciar la chance.
One thing football has taught me is this: if you're playing against Lionel Messi and Argentina, keep the talking to a minimum until the final whistle.
Yerry Mina danced after Colombia knocked out Uruguay at the 2021 Copa América. A round later, Emi Martínez saved his penalty, and Messi's response was simple: "¡Baila ahora!" ("Dance now!").
Then came Louis van Gaal in 2022. He confidently spoke about settling the score with Argentina and even said that if it went to penalties, the Netherlands would win because they were prepared. It went exactly where he wanted, to penalties. Argentina won the shootout, and the Dutch left devastated.
Whether it's pre-match bravado, penalty shootout confidence, or provocative celebrations, history has shown that Argentina, especially this Messi-led generation, has a habit of turning those moments into fuel.
Confidence is part of football. Disrespect is a gamble. Against Messi, it's usually an expensive one.
