Racing in the 2024 Copa Sudamericana is almost in. just there. Nothing short of achieving the minimum goal for the little that remains of the semester. In a pretty bad year, he is already almost saved from the mess. Of that chance of not playing any international tournament after many years. He is practically guaranteed at least a place in the second international competition. He may even be in before playing with Belgrano, with little left to play. Simply the placement among the first four to see who you get in the quarterfinals and the key.
The important thing, in this case, is that The Academy is one step away from achieving a pass to a new Cup. It is true that the main objective, in terms of qualifying for international competitions, is to play in the Copa Libertadores. A goal that is still viable, but for that you have to be champion of the League Cup. But, a priori, a place in the Sudamericana is almost guaranteed.
What happened? In this crazy Argentine football, any foreign result can give you an important hand. And in this case, The triumph of Defensa y Justicia in the Argentine Cup opens one more place in the qualification zone for the international cups. The final of the Argentine Cup will be played between Estudiantes and Halcón. And whichever of the two wins will free up a place. In this way, whoever is in 11th place in the annual table (for Lanús), gets into. This means that Racing is almost classified for the Sudamericana since Who today occupies 12th place (Atlético Tucumán) can only reach it if they win by a landslide and Acadé lose by a landslide.
Racing’s last time in the Copa Sudamericana
In 2022, when Fernando Gago was the coach, Racing played the Copa Sudamericana. They had qualified for that tournament in a similar way to this one. 2021 had been very bad and went through the window on the last date, with a home win. The continental competition started well, with the team playing good games. However, he was left out in the group zone of a competition that was contested in a different way. At that time, only the first in each group passed and, although they had the same points as Melgar, they were left out due to goal difference.
Racing qualified for the Copa Sudamericana. The last time was disappointment in 2022.
But for the Academy, that Cup ended up being a real disappointment. Not only because it was left out, but because of the way it happened. On the last date, at home and against possibly the weakest rival in the group, a draw was enough to secure a place in the round. However, he inexplicably lost against River from Uruguay in the Cilindro and was left out. He generated about 25 goal situations, but many goals were missed. The greatest number, and the clearest, came from Javier Correa, who left the club when that semester ended. The truth is that in the absence of a date the club is almost guaranteed to play in a new Cup. Knowing that there is still a chance to go for the Copa Libertadores. For that, it is clear, they have to win the League Cup. And it can happen, because there are only four games…
