Forward Edinson Cavani had a brief encounter with Boca fans before training. The supporters of the 'Xeneize' showed their support for Cavani, who is going through a complex sporting situation after his time with teams like Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Napoli, and Valencia. In a video shared on social media, Boca fans were seen taking a photograph with the Uruguayan footballer.
Among those who approached Cavani's car was a mother with her son, who took a picture with the player, who also patted the boy's head. In the video, a fan was heard cheering for Cavani with a 'let's go Edin, up'. This gesture from the fans comforted the player during a difficult time, following Boca's elimination from the Copa Libertadores and the Sudamericana.
In the match against Alianza Lima, where Boca lost 2-1 in penalties, Cavani experienced one of the toughest moments of his career. In the 45+7 minute of the second half, with the match tied 2-2 on aggregate, Cavani had a clear chance to score the qualification goal, but his failed attempt from close range resulted in the tie that led the team to penalties, where they ultimately lost 5-4.
This mistake in the finishing affected the outcome of the match and left Boca out of one of the international competitions. The fans' reaction in support of Cavani shows the backing of the supporters during these difficult moments for the Uruguayan forward.
