Before the victory of the 'xeneizes', Gallardo referred to what it means for them to play at the Bombonera: "Stages are changing, today it shows us differently because we have different players. We feel comfortable going to their stadium, playing against their fans stimulates us . The last time we played with people was a long time ago and the desire to impose ourselves is what I feel. I see it in the players, eager to face it this way".

Asked about River's coach statements, Marcos Rojo was firm with his answer: : "We are calm. I don't know why they feel comfortable, since they haven't won since I've been here. So everything continues as normal".
