Back in 2019, multiple reports revealed that a man named Gabriel Aranda - who bears a resemblance to the fan at the Sudamericana final - unearthed the cranium.
That time, it was to commemorate when Racing won the league in the 2018-19 season.
The fan told TNT Sports five years ago: "I was in the tomb and I took it out of the tomb all of the time that Racing played.
"He is the lucky omen, he will be proud because I took it out."
