The River Plate detail in Lo Celso’s thermos

The Argentine National Team is full of players who were trained and passed through River, but who today are playing in European football. The only representative of River in the current squad is Franco Armani. Then, there are those who never wore the red sash, but have been fans since they were very young. In short, the Scaloneta has a group of players with a strong River Plate predominance.

In that sense, in the last few hours a photo of the intimacy of the Argentine National Team team in the concentration went viral on social networks and an element that unleashed the madness of the River fans. In that image, Giovani Lo Celso appears sharing some dunks with Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul… and a thermos with the River shield!

Why does Giovani Lo Celso’s thermos have a River shield?

Zooming in and out reveals even more details. The shield on Giovani Lo Celso’s thermos has the “Lioncito” design made by Caloi, the same one used by the all-time champion team in 1986. The River Plate sticker is stuck on the top of the thermos and stands out above other drawings. What few expected was that a former Rosario Central, a recognized Canalla fan, would wear a Millo symbol.

The image quickly went viral and also sparked all kinds of speculation. There are those who claim that Giovani Lo Celso is a River fan, but also those who believe that that thermos belongs to another member of the team.. Some more meticulous users discovered another photo of Lionel Messi with the same thermos, but without the stickers, some time ago. While others believe that it is from some former River or from Nicolás Otamendi himself, a confessed fan of the Greatest.
