Ander Herrera’s strong stance on expanding La Bombonera | OneFootball

The Spanish midfielder, Ander Herrera jumped right into the debate about the expansion of La Bombonera and was very clear about his stance on Boca Juniors’ stadium. He maintained that it has “a special charm” just as it is now.

After the victory in the Superclásico and while preparing to play the last matchday of the regular phase of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, the Basque gave an interview to a media outlet from his country and spoke about the Alberto J. Armando stadium, among other topics.

Specifically about La Bombonera, Ander Herrera expressed his opposition to the idea of expanding it and went even further, opposing the possibility of moving the stadium (an idea proposed by the opposition), stating that “it is unique where it is.”

“It also has a special charm being in the neighborhood of La Boca, that a club so rooted in its neighborhood is at the same time so global. It’s something that holds a special charm. There is a lot of debate here in Argentina, at Boca, regarding the possibility of expanding the stadium, there was even talk of moving it, and for me it is unique where it is, as it is, the way it is,” commented the Spanish footballer in a conversation with El Larguero.

In the same vein, he added: “I’ve had the chance to invite friends during this year I’ve been here in Argentina and they all agree that it has a charm, it has an aura, it has a unique football smell.” He also commented on how “incomparable” the Superclásico is and invited “anyone who can to experience it for themselves and draw their own conclusions.”

Ander Herrera highlighted Boca’s talents

With his coach’s eye, Ander Herrera highlighted several players that Xeneize has and who he believes will soon make the leap to Europe: “For me, we have two prospects, well, they’re not prospects anymore; they’re starters on the team.” 

“One is Milton Delgado, who was the bronze boot at the U-20 World Cup, and I think the club will have to decide whether to keep him because there will surely be offers. Then we have a center-back named Lautaro Di Lollo, who is also a very young guy, very imposing, and is doing very well,” he assured.

He also didn’t forget about Changuito, who is having a great moment after battling injuries: “Also Zeballos, we have a player who is no longer so young, he’s 24, but he has tremendous talent, it’s been hard for him to settle in, but he’s a very different player and he’s special.”
