The Argentinian talent arrived in Rome in 2011 and has been one of the figureheads of the club’s new direction. Two years later it was sacrificed on the market.
Here comes Coco. On the road that separates them from winning another European trophy, Roma finds an old acquaintance for them: Eric Lamela.
The Argentinian scored the decisive goal in extra time in the semi-final against Juventus Seville the seventh final of the Europa League of his story.
For example, the giallorossi and River’s former talent are called upon to compete for the 15 kilos of silver to be held on Wednesday, May 31 at the Puskas Arena in Budapest.
And to think it was Roma who enabled Lamela to make the leap from South America to Europe, which took him over in mid-2011 from River Plate, who had just been relegated to Serie B for the first time in history and overwhelmed by a situation almost irreversible.
The 17 million paid by the Trigoria club to take over what was considered one of the absolute values of Argentine football at the beginning of the second decade of the 2000s gave a break to the Millionaires’ apnea.
