River continues to experience days of euphoria in the United States during the Club World Cup, and the passion of its fans knows no bounds. In the lead-up to yesterday's match against Monterrey in Group E, thousands of fans gathered for an impressive flag-waving event at Venice Beach, where more than eight thousand people came together to support Marcelo Gallardo's team.
However, the most unexpected surprise came from a figure of global renown. Amid the festive atmosphere, La Página Millonaria, a media outlet supporting the Núñez team, managed to capture an image that quickly went viral: Arnold Schwarzenegger posed with River's jersey. The action movie legend was photographed wearing the club's home jersey, in a picture that spread across social media within minutes.

The 77-year-old actor (77 years/169 pounds) is recognized worldwide for starring in box office hits such as the Terminator saga, Commando (1985), Predator (1987), The Running Man (1987), Total Recall (1990), Last Action Hero (1993), and True Lies (1994), among others. He was also governor of the state of California, where River ignited passions yesterday.
This image represents a true milestone for La Banda's fans, as it demonstrates the global reach the club has achieved in recent times.
Meanwhile, with this Hollywood support, River will decide its qualification for the round of 16 this Wednesday, when it faces Inter Milan at Lumen Field Stadium in Seattle. The match will begin at 22:00 and will be officiated by Uzbek referee Ilgiz Tantashev, who was in charge during Argentina's controversial elimination at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the hands of the host nation.
