Boca dropped points again at La Bombonera. The 1-1 draw against San Lorenzo halted the momentum the team had gained after the 3-0 win against Lanús and once again exposed a problem that still lacks a solution: the right-back position.

Gregorio Rodríguez's goal came precisely from that sector. The play once again put Weigandt in the spotlight, who was booed by part of the crowd and ended up at the center of criticism.

Chelo was once again a starter due to Barinaga's injury and has now played five matches since his return after the loan at Inter Miami. During this period, the team hasn't lost, but it also hasn't managed to convince with its play, and the right-back position remains unsettled.

Barinaga, who started the cycle as a starter, also failed to establish himself. That's why part of the public is calling for more minutes for Dylan Gorosito, a right-back who emerged from the youth teams and has experience with the youth national teams. So far, he has only played 15 minutes in the match against Gimnasia de Chivilcoy in the Copa Argentina.

The last right-back who stood out was Luis Advíncula in 2023. A key player in Almirón's team, even playing as a winger in some matches, and with four goals in the Copa Libertadores, including one in the final.

Another option in the squad was Lucas Blondel, although the coaching staff decided to loan him to Huracán after several months without playing. While Boca tries to regain consistency, the right-back position remains a mystery that the team has yet to solve.
