The blonde bombshell, who bares a striking resemblance to Colombian songstress Shakira, has amassed over 235,000 followers on Instagram.
They all love tuning in to her life to see her taking in games and wearing the River Plate jersey with pride.
On Saturday, the Argentinian giants take on Brazilian side Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores Final at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru.
And you can bet Melisia will be cheering on her boys, who she will do anything for if it means they win!
SHE’S GOOD FOR MORALE
In the 2017 Copa Libertadores quarter-final, River Plate crashed to a 3-0 defeat to Bolivian team Club Deportivo Jorge Wilstermann in the first leg.
It appeared their dreams of glory were in tatters, and they needed a miracle comeback to avoid elimination.
With the players obviously dejected from the loss, Melisia took matters into her own hands.

Desperate to see her team progress, and knowing they needed a pick-me-up, she reportedly sent the players a saucy video that left little to the imagination.
Needless to say, the trick worked a treat. River, astonishingly, won 8-0 in the return leg to reach the semi-finals, where they were eventually eliminated by Lanus.
LUCKY UNDERPANTS
If that wasn’t enough, before that Copa Libertadores quarter-final Melisia was feeling strangely superstitious.
She revealed she would be entrusting the help of her lucky smalls in the hope that River would over-turn the three goal deficit.
Melisia even told fans online that if River were victorious, she would auction off the underwear to one of her followers.

However, despite that threat Melisia might’ve got caught up in the hysteria of the moment.
It was never confirmed whether a fan received her knickers.
Probably best better not knowing.
