In the middle of the holidays, Boca's backup goalkeeper posted a video of himself training hard at the gym. In recent hours, the Boca goalkeeper uploaded a video to his social media of him heading to the gym during the holidays. After that, in the Apertura opener against Argentinos at La Bombonera, the draw in Santa Fe against Unión, and the tense night of the Libertadores playoff against Alianza Lima, when he came on for the penalty shootout in place of Marchesin. Six months had to pass before he could put the gloves on again at Boca: it was in Mar del Plata, after Agustín's injury in the 2-0 win over Aldosivi. And his last match, in Rosario against Central, a game marked by Di María's Olympic goal that raised doubts about him. Leandro Brey, at 23, is going through a particular moment of transition, waiting, and preparation. Because if anything was made clear in 2025, it was that his opportunities were limited.

Riquelme said so at the time: 'He is Boca's goalkeeper of the future.' He dropped down to lend a hand and ended up being a key player in the decisive stretch. We'll have to see what happens with Javi... And as it seems, Brey himself understood it that way. That's why he doesn't let up, that's why he trains during the holidays, and that's why he's already starting to think about a better 2026, perhaps the year of his definitive takeoff...
