And yes you may have heard it, River Plate is back in game with the big boys, and the natural order of things is finally back in balance. Thousands of River fans were celebrating this wonderful moment at the Obelisk this Saturday as if it were some kind of national holiday. However, not only were they celebrating the return of their team to the first division, but also the fact that now they will be able to play their eternal rivals, BocaJunior, in the long awaited Superclásico! Superclásico is the name used to describe the football match in Argentina between these two teams. It derives from the Spanish usage of “clásico” to mean derby, with the prefix “super” used as the two clubs are the most popular and successful clubs in Argentine football. The Superclásico is well known to be one of the fiercest, most exciting football events in the world, and definitely something not to be missed if you are traveling to Buenos Aires at the right time.
