Boca kicked off their preseason with a goalless draw against Millonarios of Colombia at La Bombonera, in a friendly match full of symbolism due to the tribute to Miguel Ángel Russo. The Xeneize were superior throughout the match, controlled the ball, and created the clearest chances, but once again suffered from a lack of effectiveness to break the deadlock. The key moment came near the end of the game, when “Chango” Zeballos had the chance to secure victory from the penalty spot. Changuito, the most dangerous player on the team that night, stepped up, but goalkeeper Álvaro Montero guessed his intention and preserved the draw.

"In terms of gameplay, Boca showed positive signs: they were organized, controlled the midfield, and had spells of good football, especially in the first half, with Herrera and Paredes as key players. Millonarios, for their part, held on, focused on closing down spaces, and barely troubled Marchesín.It was just the first test of the year, with expected rotation and preseason pace, but the takeaway is clear: Boca showed an interesting foundation, were the protagonists, but still need to make that leap in the final third. The result isn’t a concern, but the lack of goals once again raises a warning sign.
