Argentine Fan's Unconventional Tribute to Racing Club
In a striking display of devotion, Gabriel Aranda, an Argentine fan of Racing Club, has taken his passion for football to an extraordinary level by exhuming his grandfather's skull to attend matches. This unusual act has drawn significant attention on social media, particularly following Racing Club's victory in the Copa Sudamericana against Brazil's Cruzeiro in Paraguay. Aranda has kept his grandfather's skull by his side since 2019, believing it symbolizes the late Valentin's dream of witnessing his beloved team win a title.
The presence of the skull at matches has sparked a mix of reactions online. Many users expressed disbelief and concern over the act, with comments ranging from questioning the morality of such a decision to acknowledging the deep emotional connection between Aranda and his grandfather. One user remarked, "The passion for football may push you to do the impossible... but to get your grandfather out of his grave?! That is difficult to accept." Another commented on the strangeness of the situation, stating, "What's stranger than Racing winning the title is the presence of this fan's skull. What an unexpected act."
Despite the controversy, some fans speculate that the skull may have brought good luck to Racing Club, which is recognized as one of the most successful teams in Argentine football history.
