Úbeda warns Boca ahead of quarter-final v Argentinos Juniors | OneFootball

This Sunday, November 30th at 3:30 PM, Boca will host Argentinos Juniors at La Bombonera for the quarterfinals of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. After the victory against Talleres, coach Claudio Úbeda issued a warning for the weekend's game.

"I don't know if Argentinos is very different from Talleres, they understand how to play," stated Sifón at the press conference. Despite the partial victory, the Xeneize suffered, and Talleres could have tied the game with the penalty they had near the end of the first half, although Agustín Marchesín's save against Mateo Cáceres prevented it.

After a tough first 45 minutes, the coach made adjustments for the second half and changed the tactic without ball possession. When it came to retreating, he shifted from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 with Miguel Merentiel on the right. Indeed, it was down that flank that the home team's second goal came.

In 2025, Argentinos Juniors was a tough opponent for Boca. Both at La Paternal and La Bombonera, the matches ended in goalless draws, although the Bicho was the team closer to winning.

However, in knockout stages, the balance is optimistic for the Club de la Ribera in the 21st century. In the 2019 Copa de la Superliga, the Xeneize won 1-0 at home in the second leg, after a 0-0 draw in the first leg at the Diego Maradona stadium. Two years later, they faced each other again in the semifinals of the Copa Argentina. A header from Luis Vázquez gave Boca the victory, and they went on to win the final against Talleres, on penalties.
