In the 2017/18 season, Banfield prepared to face the sporting challenge imposed by a competition like the Copa Libertadores with a competitive squad and the return of Jesús Datolo, another man from the house. In continuity with the institution's project, multiple youths were promoted to the first team and as many as Remedi, Sporle and Carranza managed to consolidate and become important pieces of the team. After participating in the Copa Libertadores, Banfield accessed the second phase of the Copa Sudamericana 2018 through the competition system, which would be played the following semester.
