Leonardo Ponzio believes River Plate's players will forever be revered for beating Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores final.
In a game that was delayed and then moved to Madrid following an attack on the Boca bus last month, River won the second leg 3-1 after extra time on Sunday to claim a 5-3 aggregate success that earned them a fourth Libertadores title.
Ponzio acknowledged that this triumph in the Superclasico will bring lasting adulation for River's players.
"Today's event is going to be remembered by many people," he said in quotes published on TyC Sports.
