The city council awarded him the title “Ciudadano Ilustre,” and Senesi thanked the crowd, describing the reception as unimaginable. The same day, forward Nico González was welcomed in Belén de Escobar aboard a volunteer fire‑truck, also receiving the “Ciudadano Ilustre” honor and a replica flag from veterans of the Malvín as War.
