Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata is preparing to play in the quarterfinals of the Apertura 2026 next Sunday, against Vélez, in Liniers. The footballer Manuel Panaro described what he felt the first time he played in the Bosque.

What happened?

Manuel Panaro had already had very good references about the club, due to his relationship with his cousin, Ignacio Miramón.

Why is it important for Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata?

The arrival of Panaro to the team allowed him to reinvent himself in Argentine football, since he had only played for Aldosivi and then had to emigrate to the Qatari league.

What does Panaro say about the team?

Manu defined Gimnasia as "a very family-oriented club" and was fascinated by the love and affection that the albiceleste fan always shows.
