We weren’t members or anything, just fans, and a security employee sent by God let us through“.

That team was commanded by Ramón Díaz y Coronel, who at that time had only blown out 9 candles, has photos with him and with several other figures such as Burrito Ortega, Andrés D’Alessandro and Eduardo Coudet, among others. I was also on that team. Martin Demicheliscurrent technician of the Millo, and Franco thinks he remembers taking a photo with him, although unfortunately there was no photographic record of the moment in his house.
