The elimination of Boca Juniors in Phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores left a bitter taste in the team and its supporters. After the match, no player addressed the press, reflecting the discomfort in the atmosphere. The crucial miss by Alan Velasco from the penalty spot sealed the team's fate and provoked the anger of the fans in La Bombonera, who did not hesitate to show their frustration.
In the box, Juan Román Riquelme, the club president, maintained an impassive gesture, silently observing the field. The elimination also meant that Boca would not participate in international tournaments during 2025. The only one to break the silence was Fernando Gago, who declared he felt strong enough to continue in his position despite the tough defeat. At that moment, he was joined by Pablo Ledesma and Mariano Herrón, with whom he had a conversation.
From the stands, the discontent of the fans could be clearly heard: "Everyone should go." This expression of discontent evidences the deep disappointment of Boca Juniors' supporters after the elimination in the Copa Libertadores and the need for changes demanded by the team's followers.
