The final between Boca and River of the 2018 Copa Libertadores will be completely unforgettable for Millonarios fans because of the consecration, for xeneizes fans because of the defeat, and for neutrals and soccer fanatics in general because of the madness that a superclásico decisive duel meant, plus the incidents that led to the decision of moving the second leg match to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium of Real Madrid.
That's why the match that defined that Copa is named "the final in Madrid", a duel that River won 3-1, meaning a 5-3 overall victory for Marcelo Gallardo's team, immortalizing that match between Boca and the Millonario.
As it happens on every occasion when a protagonist or member of any of the two teams that traveled to Spain for the final speaks, this time what Carlos Lampe stated against River became of great importance. The Bolivian goalkeeper was only in Boca for a few months and despite not even playing a minute with the blue and gold shirt, he was part of the roster of players who went to Madrid for the 2018 Libertadores final.
In a dialogue with Radio La Red, the current goalkeeper of Atlético Tucumán, leader of the Professional League, talked about what happened there at the Bernabéu, where he stated: "In Madrid, we didn't lack attitude, we lacked luck. After the goal, we retreated too much". He also confirmed that he felt on par with Esteban Andrada or Agustín Rossi to have been the guardian of the goal in that historic final. He also gave his opinion on what this match means nowadays, which he defined as "already expired".
Then, he continued his conversation with the program hosted by Toti Pasman, where he said that he feels grateful to the people of Boca, and affirmed that he "doesn't close the doors" to a possible return to Xeneize. Finally, he took a dig at River and the Monumental crowd, a stadium he visited a little over a month ago with the Decano: "The support at River's stadium isn't felt as much. It's felt much more at La Bombonera than at the Monumental", he declared. No script!
