Estudiantes won a tense La Plata clásico and achieved what it set out to do: a place in the final of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. With the narrow victory over Gimnasia, Eduardo Domínguez's team secured its ticket to Santiago del Estero, where next Saturday it will face Racing to decide the champion of Argentine football. In this regard, from the world of politics, there was a particularly alert spectator to the outcome.
Just over half an hour after Facundo Tello's final whistle, Javier Milei posted a short and concise message on X celebrating Pincha's victory and qualification: "EDLP!"; accompanied by a picture of the final result.

The President, who closely followed the match at the Bosque, once again positioned himself on the side of the club from La Plata in a context where its management keeps a strong confrontation with the AFA led by the mobster Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia.
This is not the first time the president has spoken in favor of Estudiantes. Weeks ago, he had already expressed his support after the guard of honor that Pincha's players made for those of Rosario Central, who were forced to honor the league champions despite the resistance of the institution presided over by Juan Sebastián Verón.

Meanwhile, this celebratory tweet was the last one the president shared before boarding the plane to Oslo. There, he will accompany Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, strengthening the political bond he has maintained with her for several months.
Returning to sports, Pincha will face Academia next Saturday, December 13 at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero. Due to the high temperatures affecting the province, the match will be played at night, starting at 9:00 p.m.
