Journalist Emiliano Tolivia is an avid Fluminense fan who maintains a special connection to Club Atlético Platense through his Argentine family heritage. Over the years, he has always been questioned about which team he would cheer for in an eventual matchup between the two clubs, since the possibility seemed remote and unlikely.
The situation changed completely when both Fluminense and Platense qualified for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, making the Brazil-Argentina showdown a reality. The draw that seemed almost impossible to happen materialized, creating an unprecedented story in the South American competition.
Emiliano ensures he doesn't have a "divided heart" in this clash. According to him, there is no such headline as a divided fan, and he is happy with the situation. The journalist states he will be upset if Fluminense loses, but if Platense advances, he will cheer for the Argentine club in the following phases of the competition.
The matches are scheduled to take place at Maracanã and in Argentina, causing Emiliano to have to deal with his Argentine family roots while supporting his beloved Brazilian team.
