00:00Great tournament for Racing and of course a great final game.
00:06Today, they're calling Crusader to get their medals.
00:16Referees also need to celebrate, great job today.
00:20But all referees, they also get their medals.
00:24And there you go, well that check will certainly go a long way.
00:28In healing the loss, it's two million dollars.
00:38For the second place as we see manager,
00:44Fernando Diniz, still the reigning champion of Copa Libertadores,
00:51wanted to become the second manager ever
00:56To win the tournament in a row, whichever order,
01:00the only one who's been able to do it is Emmanuel Muñeco Gallardo.
01:04Who's gunning for a new Libertadores this season, couldn't make it happen.
01:09And Crusader should have their head held up high.
01:15They played a great tournament.
01:19This season, they won their group in a very tight group with Ducatolica,
01:26if you remember, winning their group with 12 points, with six wins,
01:31with three wins in six games, three draws,
01:34they didn't lose in the entire first part of the tournament.
01:40For Crusader, who then moved on as winners of their group,
01:48to the run of 16.
01:53They lost their first game there, losing as Boca Juniors, 1-0.
01:59And Leguán ended up beating them in penalty kicks of 5-4,
02:04they went on to beat Libertad and La Luz to get to this final.
02:13Only one loss in the entire tournament until the final,
02:17second loss in the tournament, the final.
02:20After beating Libertad 2-0, then drawing 1-1, same with La Luz,
02:26drawing 1-1 and then winning 1-0 to get to the final.
02:33And this is their ritual, some players keep the medal, some players immediately take it off.
02:43I'm sure they'll eventually look fondly at this season.
02:52After doing an incredible tournament, just unfortunately.
