Last week Boca Juniors honoured its idol Martin Palermo's retirement with a huge send off party - placing Velez Sarsfield's Clausura triumph to a minor media event.
There were presents from kids for "El Titan", tears from Martin Palermo, and an emotive video from family was shown, as well as chants from the loving fans, speeches from those close to him and even the goal posts that stand infront of the stands where "LA 12" (it's most fanatical fan group) is located where given to him as a going away present. The same goal post where he scored his last goal against River.
However what was supposed to be a magnificent unique and original present has turned into a gigantic farce.
This same goal posts where he scored his last goal against River are demistifying the saying - "If you give it away as a present you don't ask for it back".
On Wednesday La Bombonera will be the stadium where Huracan and Gimnasia will fight it out for a chance at a promotion play off against San Martin. The Club had no idea that this was in the cards.
The new replacement goal posts will not be arriving until later next week. Boca has had to ask Palermo for his goal posts back, on a loan, until the issue is resolved.
