Who’s the ghost that showed up at Racing vs. River Plate?

There’s definitely something spooky going on in Argentina.

Last weekend, Racing beat River Plate 1-0 to move to the top of the Argentine Primera. Considering there’s only two rounds left of the Inicial, that’s all very exciting. But let’s be honest -- we’re more excited about the ghost running around El Cilindro.

At first you think the cameras have just spotted a figure dressed in grey darting through the crowds. Then...then the grey shadow IS RUNNING ON THE PITCH.

Is the spirit of Natalio Perinetti haunting his former club(s)? Or have we stumbled upon the ghost of Theo Walcott’s career?
