From youth team farewell to first-team debut in blue and gold | OneFootball

Ángel Romero fulfilled one of his greatest dreams and made his debut wearing the Boca jersey in the 2-0 victory over Newell’s, in the Torneo Apertura. The Paraguayan forward came on at halftime and played a key role by earning the penalty that Leandro Paredes converted into a goal.

The story carries strong emotional weight: in 2007, Ángel had passed a trial with Boca’s youth teams alongside his brother Óscar, but both had to return to Paraguay due to family reasons. Almost two decades later, the 33-year-old striker managed to close that unfinished chapter.

Free after his stint with Corinthians, Romero arrived as a market opportunity and had an active debut, showing movement and presence in the box. In a context of several absences in attack, everything suggests he will continue to get minutes in the short term.
