Club Atlético River Plate faces its worst crisis in decades
The team from Núñez is going through a deep football crisis, with five consecutive losses and no goals in the last three matches. In the 2025 season, they finished 6th in the Liga Profesional Argentina with 22 points (6W-4D-6L), but the present is even more worrying. The elimination against Aldosivi in the Copa Argentina and the last position in zone B of the Torneo Clausura have put Eduardo Coudet on the brink.
What happened in the last matches?
River Plate not only accumulates losses, but also broke negative records. Never in its history had it lost five games in a row since the beginning of professionalism in 1931. Additionally, the team has not won in its last seven official matches, including the Apertura final against Belgrano. The situation is critical, with only one win in the last seven games.
Why is Coudet still in charge?
Despite the crisis, president Stefano Di Carlo backs Coudet. After the defeat against Rosario Central, Di Carlo visited the locker room to transmit his support. The management seeks to avoid constant changes and trusts in the reinforcement project, which includes the arrivals of Nicolás Otamendi, Mauro Arambarri, and Rafael Borré, among others. Additionally, the incorporation of Thiago Almada and Francisco Ortega is expected.
What's next for River Plate?
The team needs to reverse its bad moment. With 20 goals scored and 15 conceded in the 2025 season, the balance is positive, but the lack of results is alarming. Nine points behind leader Rosario Central, River Plate must improve quickly to avoid an even greater crisis. Coudet has the support of the management, but results must come soon.
