The man who started to change history: Funes Mori returns to La Bombonera after the “Ramirazo” and the pepper spray

El Mellizo will play another Superclásico, eight years after the last time they faced Boca, against whom they never lost.

The last time Ramiro Funes Mori stepped onto the grass of La Bombonera, on Thursday, May 15, 2015, it had started about 20 minutes ago. His eyes were red and his shirt was stained with an orange liquid. Around him, police shields protected him from the bottles raining from the stands as he entered the tunnel through which the local team usually enters. Moments earlier, the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores had been officially suspended by referee Darío Herrera after an hour and fifteen minutes of deliberation.

El Mellizo was one of six River players affected by the pepper spray attack that hit the Baker Napolitano made it – along with other Boca fans – just as the visiting team appeared on the pitch to play the second half of the match, in one of the most infamous episodes in the history of the Superclásico. “Chemical keratitis”, an inflammation of the cornea due to contact with an abrasive substance, was the official diagnosis reported by the Millionaire’s medical team.

Eight years later, the central defender returns to Alberto J. Armando to play his first match against Xeneize since returning to the club from Núñez in the middle of this year. A stage in which the man from Mendoza, in addition to that traumatic situation, also has beautiful memories.
