This has been a great experience, which I highly recommend even if you are travelling solo. I learned a lot about Racing Club and football in Argentina in general. The atmosphere in Racing's stadium is intense and unlike anything I have ever seen. The seats I got were just above the fanatic end behind the goal, which offer a great view of the terraces as well as the pitch.
Although it was my first game in Argentina, I haven't felt unsafe for a single minute. Juan explained everything really well and all I had to was to enjoy the crazy Argentinan passion inside the stadium. 10/10.
I went to 2 games with Juan and his team and it was perfect. Juan and his team took care of everything and I felt completely safe at all times. We got to take in the atmosphere outside the ground with some beers pre-match, got to our seats with plenty of time and both times witnessed a great game with some cool like-minded people. Juan and his team also made sure we all got home safely after.
A true bucket list moment. Thank you to Juan and the guys!
Juan is an excellent host and if you are going to watch Racing I recommend going with him.
He met us before the game and took us for pre match drinks and local food which were all excellent.
We were then taken to soak up the pre match atmosphere before entering the ground to watch the game.
The atmosphere in the stadium was excellent.
After the game Juan made sure we got back ok.
He was a great host and looked after us at all times and the experience was excellent
Juan and Guido were waiting for us at a square just a few blocks from the stadium. We had a few beers and empanadas before the match to get to know each other a little bit. They are football mad men.
Even for a match that wasn't completely sold out, the experience was amazing. Fans standing on driving buses with fireworks outside of the stadium. And jumping and singing inside the stadium, which is one of the most intriguing stadiums in world football. And that on a rainy weeknight.
And, if you have the luck to experience a winning goal in the 97th minute, like we had... WOW!!
After the match, Juan and Guido walked us to a place where we could get a taxi home easy. But there were plenty of nice places to stick around, and have dinner as well. All in all, a brilliant experience of Argentinian football.
