And, between the two, the thread will never break. When Real Madrid decided to pay 20.5 million euros to sign the promising midfielder from Boca in the winter of 2007, the La Ribera club knew they were leaving a special player. It was not the same as what was loved at La Bombonera, The passionate temple is the one that goes down and raises all the opposites of passions.

In 38 games with the ‘Sacred Flock’ they managed to record 17 victories, nine draws and twelve defeats. Before both blue and gold crossed his path again. “I’m going to explain, to be honest I didn’t have any needs or phones; I don’t know where this information is coming from“, he said about his relationship with Juan Román Riquelme and the bench of La Bombonera, which was empty after the departure of Diego Martínez in the middle of the crisis.
At the same time, local journalists like Gastón Edul confirmed what was an open secret: Gago will take the position of coach of the Buenos Aires organization.
