📸 This league ended in heartbreak last night 🫢

It's the scene going around the world this morning: a huge misunderstanding and a crushing reality check in Argentine football.

It all happened on the final day of the Liga Profesional season.

As the final whistle blew at their home ground, Rosario Central supporters invaded the pitch in wild celebration.

Flares lit, tears of joy, hugs with the players: the whole stadium was already celebrating the Argentine league title, convinced that rivals Boca Juniors had failed to beat Defensa y Justicia.

But hundreds of kilometres away, with La Bombonera holding its breath, everything changed in the 96th minute.

That was the precise moment Enner Valencia popped up to score the winner (1-0), confirmed by VAR after an agonising wait.

On the pitch at Rosario, Angel Di Maria's club, the party stopped dead.

Phones began to buzz, the false news was dispelled, and the incredible collective euphoria gave way to utter despair, stunned faces and motionless supporters with their heads in their hands.
