Massive praise from Tevez for Aranda: "Looks ten years in the top flight" | OneFootball

Boca came out on top at the Kempes against Carlos Tevez’s Talleres and, despite suffering a defeat against the team he loves, the Apache couldn’t help but heap praise on Tomás Aranda, one of the standout performers of the match. “He looks like he’s been playing in the top flight for ten years,” said the T coach in the post-match press conference.

The Xeneize idol, who still has not been able to beat Boca as a coach, highlighted the quality of the opposing squad as a key factor in his Talleres side’s defeat and singled out the youngster, who delivered a more than impressive performance: “I’m not discovering anything, he’s an extraordinary player. I’d already said it, and now that I’ve seen him live, I think the same.”

In addition, the T coach pointed to the factors that tipped the final result: “It was an even match. They scored one more because of our mistakes than because of their own merit. It was a 0-0 game, there were no differences.”

With great vision, including a role in the build-up to Boca’s only goal, Tomás Aranda was one of the best players on Úbeda’s team in Córdoba. In 2026, the Ciudadela native has already made eleven appearances since his debut against Estudiantes, with performances that have been steadily improving and his first goal already coming on matchday 12 against Instituto.
