Incredible coincidences in football
The distances between Colo Colo - Universidad de Chile (for the Transición) and Chile - Paraguay (for the Eliminatorias) are separated by only four days. Both will be held at the Monumental Stadium, and Lucas Barrios will be present in both matches: first as a fan, then as a player.
La Pantera was once again called by Chiqui Arce and started training with the Paraguay national team in Santiago, where he said upon arriving at the Arturo Merino Benítez Airport, "The Monumental is my home. I know what it's like to play there."
He said it right. On October 5, 2008, the Argentine-born player scored two goals in Colo Colo's victory over U de Chile. The Cacique was coming off two bad defeats. The present media reminded him of that. "It was a difficult moment. I was having a really tough time that day. People always remember that goal. As I always said, when I was here, I gave my all for the team, which always helped me score important goals. I hope my teammates can write history on Sunday," he stated.
