"We’ll win the Superclásico," Milton Giménez brims with confidence | OneFootball

There is still a -key- date left for both Boca and River before they face each other again at La Bombonera. However, inevitably, due to what that match implies and especially in the midst of their struggle to qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores, all eyes are on November 9. In fact, that's how they feel internally, as Milton Giménez optimistically declared: "We are going to win the classic."

Brimming with confidence after the victory against Barracas Central, where he was crucial with a double to help Xeneize turn the result around this Monday, the 29-year-old forward made a bold statement ahead of the match with their lifelong rivals and did not hesitate to assure that Claudio Úbeda's team will come away with a win. The reason? "Because we are doing well," he stated in an interview with Radio Continental.

With the same positive aura with which he seeks the ball in the area, Giménez, who has scored five goals in the same number of starts in the Clausura, anticipated the head-to-head with River that will be decisive for Boca's Copa aspirations. The conviction of the number 9, currently a starter in the absence of Edison Cavani and thanks to his goals, left a strong statement less than two weeks before the Superclásico.

"We have all finals, and we have to play them that way. It was clear that we took this match as a final. We started knowing that we had to win no matter what," analyzed the former Banfield player, the day after the two goals that rescued Xeneize from a forgettable first half against Barracas.

The message for Boca fans? In that same line of conviction, Giménez conveyed to each of the Boca supporters to "stay calm, we are doing everything possible." "We feel that same anxiety, and we have it too. Rest assured that we are going to achieve it," concluded the top scorer.
