Football Player Wins Championship for Miku

A football player won a championship for Nakano Miku and caught the attention of anime fans after fulfilling an unusual promise involving his favorite character from Gotoubun no Hanayome. Lucio Latorre, a young Argentine athlete from Racing Club, helped his team win the Apertura 2026 title in the reserve category in Argentina.

Besides his performance on the field, the player also became known on social media for showing his love for anime and games. If you look at his Instagram, you will see edits with anime characters and screenshots of the games he plays.

Away from the pitch, Lucio often shares his passion for anime on his social networks. His posts frequently include character images or gaming references, showing that the athlete is deeply involved in this universe.

Months before the championship, the player posted a photo during a football training session and added a reference to the famous meme from The Simpsons, known for the phrase “Do it for her”. However, instead of the original character, he used an image of Nakano Miku, one of the heroines from Gotoubun no Hanayome.

The post quickly caught the attention of fans, who interpreted it as a promise from the athlete to win for his “anime love”.

After Racing Club won the championship, several anime fans flooded Lucio’s posts with comments congratulating him on the victory.

Many joked that the player really managed to “give the championship to Miku”, turning the comment section into a place where many people posted images of the best girl from Gotoubun no Hanayome.

While Argentine football is bringing joy, what about the ones from other certain countries, huh?
