Boca Juniors-River Plate always offers a unique spectacle in the world, with the Monumental dressed up for the Superclasico. The match, which ended 1-1, went viral on social media and the web not for the spectacle on the field, but for a bizarre optical illusion. A video of a penalty kick at the 33' that involves the ball, the former Sampdoria and Manchester United Sergio Romero and the ball is trending on X.

What happened
From the images of the video, you can see River Plate forward ready to take a free kick on the opponent's three-quarters. The cross that cuts across the entire area, however, is too long and goes straight to goal with Romero who jumps to block it. In the clip, however, you see the ball hit the crossbar, return to the field, and then reappear in the hands of the goalkeeper who firmly controls it. A real mystery that no one has been able to explain. Many immediately cried out conspiracy theory, dusting off the theory of the glitch (a programming error) in the Matrix (universe of the famous namesake film), while others spoke of a photomontage created ad hoc to deceive people.
From a wider shot, however, you can clearly see a white object (which can also be a bird) quickly pass over the goal starting from the River Plate stand. The case wanted this unidentified object to pass just as the ball arrives in goal, thus creating a truly deceptive optical illusion.
