b"The hundred and ninety-first episode of Hand Of Pod sees Sam and Andr\\xe9s in a good mood after River Plate's qualification for the final of the Copa Libertadores for the first time in 19 years. A 1-1 draw with Guaran\\xed in Asunci\\xf3n, with Marcelo Gallardo signings Tabar\\xe9 Viudez and Lucas Alario combining for the crucial goal, proved decisive and next week River will face Tigres of Mexico in the first leg (we didn't know this when we recorded). As well as River in the Copa, there's also a full weekend of Argentine league action to look back on, including River reserves' 5-1 tonking of Atl\\xe9tico de Rafaela, and wins for San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors (on Carlos Tevez's return to La Bombonera)which mean it's still Boca-San Lorenzo-River in a 1-2-3 at the top of the league table. Andr\\xe9s also has a preview of this weekend's biggest league match, the cl\\xe1sico rosarino between Newell's Old Boys and Rosario Central."
