There is no doubt that River was the deserving champion of the Professional League. From the eighth day that he grabbed the top and never let go again. In football as even as Argentina’s, it’s hard for there to be a champion with such a difference in points, but River did it and, in fact, was consecrated with two days left to go. What also drew attention is the great difference in points that they took from the other greats: 15 against San Lorenzo, 17 against Boca, 25 against Racing and 33 against an Independiente who is fighting not to be relegated.

The first clásico that the Greatest played in the Professional League was against Independiente for matchday number 13 and Demichelis’ men won 2-0 with goals from Barco and Borja. Two dates later it was the turn of the superclassic and again the Millionaire was vastly superior, who ended up winning it 1 to 0 thanks to Miguel Ángel Borja’s agonizing penalty goal.

Against Racing it was the last classic of the tournament and it was played on date number 27, it ended up being a victory for River by 2 to 1 that crowned a spectacular Professional League.
