Due to the pending date 30 of the Premier League, Newcastle became strong against Crystal Palace and won 1-0 with a nice goal from midfielder Miguel Almirón. The Paraguayan, in full euphoria, took off his shirt and ran to celebrate with his fans. This play sparked the delirium of River Plate fans. The reason? The tattoo that the former Lanús has on his left shoulder blade: the millionaire's shield .

Averaging the first half at St. James Park, who emerged from the Cerro Porteño academy and who knew how to shine in Argentine football with the Lanús jersey, took advantage of a good in-depth pass by Bruno Guimarães to win at pure speed and gambeta on the right side and with an exquisite definition nailing it into the angle.

The 28-year-old flyer, which is a fixture in all the Paraguayan national team, is one of the main figures in the team led by Eddie Howe. So far this season he has played 27 games and this was his first conquest. It is worth mentioning that his tattoo, which shows his love for the Núñez club, revolutionized social networks and several supporters asked for his arrival; something that today would be a chimera because of its high price.

This is not the first time that the winner of the First Division tournament - the Olympic tour was given precisely at Monumental, after being the figure in the 4-0 rout in the final against San Lorenzo - and the Bicentennial Cup in Argentina gives a nod to the Millionario. A while ago, in dialogue with Verus Radio from his country, he acknowledged that “I always wanted to play at River. It's one of my big dreams. When I was in Lanús it was closer, but now I see it a little farther away. I don't know if it's going to be feasible.” And then, he added: “I have a goal that is to try to continue playing in Europe and improve football. I'm enjoying Newcastle, I have two more years left on my contract. I don't know what can happen in the future.”

However, he also left the door open to return to the club where he began his career as a professional: “Going back to Cerro Porteño would be a very nice thing. I think that every player who leaves a club he is a fan of, always wants to return. If I go back to Paraguay, I would like to go back there.”
