Liana Vanesa Paredes uploaded a fiery post to her Instagram account just hours after the elimination against Huracán.
This Saturday night, Boca lost 3-2 to Huracán and was knocked out in the Round of 16 of the 2026 Apertura Tournament, amid a tense atmosphere that took over La Bombonera. Just a few hours after the match, Leandro Paredes’ sister hit back at the fans who criticized him for his performance on the field, sparking a new controversy at Boca.
It is worth remembering that the world champion started and played all 120 minutes, taking charge of distributing the ball in midfield and bringing clarity to every play that went through his feet. However, it was not enough for his team to turn the game around, and it led to another defeat that meant being knocked out of another major competition in a knockout round.
The truth is that, hours after the elimination, Liana Vanesa Paredes responded to some Boca fans who were targeting her brother’s performance. Through her personal Instagram account, she shared a post originally made on X (formerly Twitter) and added her opinion on it. “As clear as day,” she wrote alongside the post made by a fan of the club from La Ribera.
The Xeneize supporter who shared his stance on the captain had written: “Without Paredes there wouldn’t have been this good spell, the Libertadores, the clásico win, Aranda and Delgado in the first team. Paredes can’t do everything.” He also added, along the same lines: “Thank you, Leandro. You have to play football, be the coach, and be the president. Thanks for getting involved in this mess.”
In this way, Paredes’ sister hit back at the fans who criticized her brother after Boca’s elimination against Huracán in the Round of 16 of the domestic championship. The reality is that Leandro’s performance was good, and even that of most of his teammates as well, as they outplayed Globo in terms of football, though not on the scoreboard.
Ultimately, it is not the first time that a relative of a Xeneize player has broken their silence on personal social media to defend one of the team’s main figures. However, it had never been done by someone from his inner circle, which caught everyone’s attention given that he is the main leader of Boca’s professional squad.
