The fiery tale of Paredes's sister: “Plain and simple” | OneFootball

Liana Vanesa Paredes uploaded a fiery post to her Instagram account just hours after the elimination against Huracán.

On 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, opening up a new source of controversy at the Xeneize.

It is worth remembering that the World Cup winner started and played all 120 minutes, taking charge of distributing the ball in midfield and making sense of every play that went through his feet. However, it was not enough for his team to turn the game around, and this led to another defeat that means they are out of another major competition through a knockout match.

The truth is that, hours after the elimination, Liana Vanesa Paredes went after some Boca fans who were blaming her brother for the match. Through her personal Instagram account, she shared a post originally made on X (formerly Twitter) and added her opinion on the matter. “Plain and simple,” she wrote alongside the post made by a fan of the team from La Ribera.

The Xeneize supporter who shared his stance on the captain had written: “Without Paredes there would have been no good spell, no Libertadores, no clásico won, no Aranda and Delgado in the first team. Paredes can’t do everything.” In the same vein, he also said: “Thank you, Leandro. You have to play football, be the coach and 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 El 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 main figures. However, it had never been done before by someone from his inner circle, which caught everyone in the football world by surprise given that he is the main leader of Boca’s professional squad.
