It's not the first time and it almost seems scripted. Javier Milei once again compared his Government to a Boca match and even compared himself to Sebastián Battaglia in an interview with A24.

When asked about the mistakes or bad decisions made in his Government, the president decided to recall the Intercontinental that the “Xeneize” won against Milan of Italy in 2003 in Japan: “I usually make an example that I love, which is the Boca final against Milan in Japan,” he said.

“They end up going to penalties, meaning Boca wins by penalties, and Battaglia had missed the penalty. A journalist goes and asks Battaglia how it feels to have missed the penalty. And Battaglia, with enormous wisdom, says: 'Have you ever taken a penalty in a world final?'” he recalled.

And continuing, he tried to argue that his mistakes are like taking a penalty: “Penalties are missed by those who take them. Let's say, those who don't take them... And those who are in the stands, even less.” And he concluded: “So, what I'm getting at is this. When you do things, there are chances you make mistakes. And if you do a lot, well, there are also chances to make many mistakes.”

His last comparison, also from the golden era of the “Xeneize”: “Boca kept winning…”

The relationship between Javier Milei and Victoria Villarruel has been broken for months and is not the best, yet the Head of State compared this situation to Juan Román Riquelme and one of his idols, Martín Palermo in March of this year.

In this situation and in a one-on-one given to La Nación, the president confirmed that there is not much interaction with Villarruel: “I think the CEO of the company cares if A or B get along well or badly, what matters to him are the results.

“Riquelme and Palermo did not get along well and Palermo kept scoring goals and Boca kept winning and both were winning”, he emphasized and admitted when asked again if there is a bad relationship: “It doesn’t matter. Does it work? (affirmative gesture from the interviewer) Done.”
