Buenos Aires, Dec 8 (NA) – Boca Juniors' winger Ezequiel Zeballos took to social media to share a heartfelt message with the 'xeneize' fans following the tough elimination from the Torneo Clausura after a 0-1 loss to Racing last Sunday at La Bombonera. "Very sad not to achieve the goal with my teammates, who wanted it so much, but proud that we gave everything we could to get there," began the 'Changuito' post, accompanied by five black and white photos from the match. "Now it's time to pick ourselves up and keep working, as we have a year full of objectives ahead of us," added Zeballos, referring to 2026 when Boca will play the Copa Libertadores and go for their seventh conquest. "Thank you to everyone for the affection and support at all times," concluded the 'Changuito' post, who once again showed his high level in the second half of the current season. Although the 23-year-old from Santiago del Estero was not having his best performance, just like the rest of the blue and gold team, he was one of the players who tried the most to hurt the rival defense. During the match, covered live by the Argentine News Agency, La Ribera's coach Claudio Úbeda decided to take the young attacker off the field, an action that caused anger at Brandsen 805 and drew criticism from the 'xeneize' public. Furthermore, this post came in the midst of the controversy surrounding his substitution at the 26th minute of the second half to make way for Alan Velasco.
