Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, once again criticized Boca president Juan Román Riquelme after the Xeneize were eliminated in the Copa Libertadores group stage following a 1-0 defeat to Universidad Católica.

“I warned you,” he wrote in a tweet quoting an old statement of his from an interview on Radio Rivadavia, in which he had said: “It’s clear that Riquelme’s management is a disaster; he’s a Kirchnerist running Boca.”

That post was followed by another retweet from the La Libertad Avanza leader, in which an article read: “Milei again criticized Riquelme: ‘I think Boca’s current president was elected by a River fan.’”

On the other hand, he quoted another post in which he recalled a message from the president to the idol of the blue-and-gold side: “You can do whatever you want, but what you can’t avoid is paying the price.”

Later, he reposted another message accompanied by a video from when he visited La Bombonera in the last election in which Riquelme won the presidency, in December 2023, where he was booed after voting for the Andrés Ibarra–Mauricio Macri ticket: “Let’s remember the kukas cursing at Milei when he went to vote against Riquelme. Milei is never wrong.”
