Boca, bound for Brazil with a settled side | OneFootball

With the final training session completed at the Ezeiza grounds, the Boca squad and all their hopes set off for Brazil, where this Tuesday they will have to stand up to Cruzeiro at the Mineirão, hoping to stay at the top of Copa Libertadores Group D. With no physical setbacks, Claudio Úbeda boarded the plane with the team already decided.

After rotating the squad in the 4-0 win against Halcón, where only Leandro Brey and Milton Delgado (due to the emergency caused by Ander Herrera’s injury) started, Sifón will field his gala eleven in the third matchday of the continental tournament: in other words, there will be 9 changes from the lineup that just played in Florencio Varela.

Around midday, once training had ended and the squad list was confirmed, Boca headed to Ezeiza and departed for Belo Horizonte, on paper the toughest fixture they will face in the group stage, which they currently lead with a perfect record (six points).

Cruzeiro sit third with three points, after beating Barcelona SC in their opener and then surprisingly losing at home to Universidad Católica in the last round, so in Brazil they are well aware of how much is at stake against Xeneize. It will be a clash of giants, with a long history in continental competition, and neither side will hold anything back because it could be the match that decides the top spot in Group D.

Úbeda will stick to his principle of playing all of Boca’s starters in the Libertadores, and everything indicates that, with qualification in the bag, he will rotate again for next weekend’s visit to Central Córdoba in the final matchday of the Apertura Tournament.
