El Rojo has already defeated the giant of the Río de la Plata

Caracas already beat Argentina's other big club in the Copa Libertadores, as it did against River Plate in 2007.

In this year, red had, perhaps, the best squad in its history. Players like José Manuel Rey, César González and Alejandro Guerra, names that were part of the Vinotinto.

The first leg of this clash was played at Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti, where the Avilanians ensured their visit to Argentina when Iván Velasquez scored the 0-1.

Then, the return match had to be played in Colombian territory, because the UCV Olympic was undergoing renovations to await the 2008 Copa América in Venezuela.

Likewise, the match was 3-1 in favor of the capital with goals from José Manuel Rey (17) and a double from Colombian Habynson Escobar (32 'and 36').

With this unforgettable victory recorded in history, the current absolute champion wants to repeat this enormous feat.
