Valentino and Bastian traveled to Brazil with River: emotional farewell and special celebration

Valentino López and Bastian Demichelis,  sons of Wanda Nara and Evangelina Anderson, traveled together to Brazil to represent  River Plate in an international tournament. The trip was filled with strong emotions, from a birthday celebrated with friends to a farewell full of nostalgia.

Before leaving, both experienced an intense weekend. On Sunday night,  Bastian —also the son of coach Martín Demichelis— celebrated his 16th birthday with an intimate gathering,  surrounded by loved ones. The party was brief but enough to share laughter, music, and recharge before the big challenge.

Hours later, the emotions changed tone.  At the Monumental stadium, the teenagers' families said goodbye with hugs and pride. Wanda Nara and Evangelina Anderson accompanied their sons to the place where the team gathered before the flight to Brazil.

Family farewells and messages full of affection

Evangelina shared on her social media an image with her son, dressed in the club's training clothes.  "He's going to a tournament in Brazil, my heart squeezed... Let's go, Tato, my life! Let's go, River. I love you! Until you return,"  she wrote, moved by the moment.

Wanda Nara didn't hide her emotion either. She uploaded a video of Valentino getting out of the car to enter the stadium.  "He's leaving, have a good trip, my life. The kids grow up, and mom is always with you," expressed the businesswoman, showing her pride in her son's steps.

Valentino and Bastian not only share a team in River's youth divisions but also the dream of reaching the First Division. Both have been training at the club for years, and this tournament in Brazil represents a valuable opportunity to continue growing as players.

The departure meant much more than a sports trip: it was a celebration of their careers, a turning point in their young careers, and a demonstration of their families' unconditional support.
