In different editions of the Copa Libertadores, Boca Juniors has faced teams like Chivas, Independiente, River Plate, Paysandú, Flamengo, Santos, among others, in home and away matches that have left historic moments. In some of these encounters, Boca has managed to turn around the series despite having lost the first match.
One of the most memorable confrontations was in the quarterfinals of the 2020 edition when Boca lost 1-0 to Racing in Avellaneda in the first leg, but then achieved a 2-0 victory at home with goals from Eduardo Salvio and Sebastián Villa, securing their passage to the next round.
Although they have had memorable victories in knockout stages, Boca has also faced painful defeats that have knocked them out of the competition.
