In yesterday's Copa Libertadores match, Paraguayan defender Gustavo Gómez of Palmeiras was the standout player and scored, with a header and some responsibility on Franco Armani, the first goal for Verdao against River. After the match, in which the press unanimously—including the TV broadcast—named him man of the match, many Boca fans remembered this. The coach at the time was Guillermo Barros Schelotto, and he requested him from then-president Daniel Angelici, after which Gómez was on the verge of signing with Boca.

BUT… WHAT HAPPENED?

Some doubts arose among the club’s management after the medical examination, and Angelici changed the contract, offering much lower figures than what the player and his agent had agreed on. As a result, Gustavo Gómez went to Brazil, where he is now CAPTAIN, A STAR, and A LEADER, and has already WON THE COPA LIBERTADORES TWICE. This is how some users on X (formerly Twitter) reminded Angelici. Check it out!
