10' - The game is paused at the ten-minute mark as the players and stadium applaud Lionel Messi.

It is observed impeccably, but some Central fans chanted "Fideo, Fideo!", choosing to honour Dí María instead.

📋 The 11 Lepers that will start the Clásico Rosarino 💪🏼

And the big news is the debut of Santiago Solari, who starts for Newell's in the derby after arriving from Racing just a few days ago.

The Newell's team bus struggles to get through the crowds of fans outside the training ground while some scaled heights in order to encourage the players on the top deck while attaching a sign to the bus that mocks our opponents today. #Newells

Newell's will wear a badge in the middle of their shirt for the Clásico Rosarino that says "Gracias Leo" in tribute to Messi's career with Argentina.

Captain Luca Regiardo will also have a similar message on his armband. #Newells
