The greatness of soccer clubs in Argentina has as many edges and chapters as there are matches per weekend. The debate is daily and will be eternal. What is the largest in the country? Who is the fifth? And so…

Estudiantes de La Plata have felt for some time and have arguments to demonstrate that they have guarantees to feel better considered by the AFA, because in addition to the folklore of the fans there is money involved and a space for power, less and less with the passage of time, but a place that continues and will continue to be disputed.

Who is the fifth great of Argentina?

Tomorrow a book will be presented in UNO that affirms that the fifth largest in Argentina is Estudiantes. It is a work by Jorge Martín Ocaña that covers the items that make clubs great in 36 parameters, with points distributed in each of them according to their relevance.

In this publication it was concluded that the biggest team is Boca with 266,372 points, followed by River with 190,244 and with Independiente completing the podium with 132,733 points. In fourth place is Racing with 74,085 and fifth, the place of the compulsa, Pincha with 53,463 points. San Lorenzo is sixth with 46,483 and in seventh place is Vélez with 45,622 points.

The first aspect analyzed is world titles won and logically there Boca dominates with 45 thousand points. They are followed by Independiente (30,000), Racing, Estudiantes, River and Vélez with 15,000 each.

The second item is Copa Libertadores won and there the Red has a greater difference than Boca, Estudiantes and River. It has 35,000 points, 5,000 more than Xeneize.

Item 16 is Number of fans, one of the most difficult to stipulate. Boca, according to the IBOPE measurer, has more fans throughout the country with the exception of the NOA region.

The consultants Projection consultants and Equis arrived at the data that Boca represents 42.1%, River 55.3%, Independiente 4.9%, Racing 4.8, San Lorenzo 3.2% and Estudiantes 1.2%.
