Hernan Crespo, a River Plate idol and former Argentine national team player, stated that the stadium shakes and the shouts that can be heard up close are very strong.

"When they say that La Bombonera shakes, it's true. I was there and I said, 'Are my legs shaking?' while looking at the paper streamers that were moving like that. It's not easy, it's very intense," he said.

Cardona, a midfielder for Boca Juniors, shared Crespo's opinion and affirmed that playing at La Bombonera is special. Regardless of the importance of the match being played, the fans and the overall atmosphere generate great motivation.
