This is how Marcelo Tinelli lived the moment of the Boca award: the particular greeting with his son-in-law Licha López

Even without the possibility of hosting the public due to the coronavirus pandemic, the San Juan Bicentennial Stadium was dressed in blue and gold. Boca he beat on penalties Banfield and champion of the Diego Maradona Cup after drawing 1-1 at regular time.

Suffered by the context, but deserved, the Xeneize managed to celebrate to get rid of the annoyance by the elimination in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Santos. The delivery of the trophy and the medals, of course, were in charge of Claudio Tapia, president of the AFA and of Marcelo tinelli, head of the Professional League, organizer of the contest and the event, which had an emotional preview, with a tribute to Diego Maradona by a rock band composed of former footballers such as Héctor Bracamonte and Gonzalo Rodríguez.

Well, the businessman, driver and president of San Lorenzo was affectionate with the footballers as they went up on stage. With some a special feeling was noticed. For example, with Wanchope Ábila the dialogue became more extensive, as with Diego González (it was noted that he asked him about the injury that took him out of the definition), Emmanuel Mas (former Cyclone) and Carlos Tevez. But the eyes of fans and even neophytes in the world of football were attentive to a special moment: the moment in which he had to place the medal on Lisandro López … His son-in-law.

The defender, 31, he is dating Micaela, one of the journalist’s daughters. And when he came up, wearing a giant auriazul hat, he headed straight for Tinelli’s position, who gave him an affectionate hug, gave him two kisses, slipped something into his ear … And placed the medal on him.

López is a regular starter in the structure of Miguel Ángel Russo, but since after the fall against Peixe for the Libertadores, DT chose to put together a mixed cast like the one that played in much of the local tournament, he gave his location to Carlos Zambrano . Anyway, the title also has its stamp; It is the second since his arrival at the institution.

The classic San Lorenzo-Boca was transformed into a media game between father-in-law and son-in-law, which they promote with sympathy. In June, for example, Micaela posted on social networks: “I’m going to write it down because this seems like a lot to me. He did two dunks, one for him and one for me. Why? Because my mate is from San Lorenzo and he refuses to drink it. He made his and obvious that his thermos is from Boca. It cannot be that you refuse to drink mate with me ”.

Immediately afterwards, the ShowMatch animator joined in the joke: “I would have liked Licha to have taken the mate and the San Lorenzo thermos. I can not believe it”. Well, this time, fate wanted Tinelli to give him the champion’s medal.
