Ander Herrera hits new heights in Argentina with Boca | OneFootball

After an injury-hit start at Boca, Ander Herrera is enjoying his best spell in Argentina, putting together six consecutive appearances and 266 minutes. That surpasses his previous benchmark from 2025, when eight straight outings brought only 203 minutes.

His midfield cameos are aiding Boca in the league and in the Copa Libertadores. As reported by as.com, the 36-year-old accepted a pay cut for the Ribera club and has become a reference point in the dressing room.

He made his Boca Libertadores debut this week and marked it with his first goal since arriving in Argentina. Coming on in the final five minutes, he lashed in from outside the area as Boca beat Barcelona to claim their second win.

Supporters now respect his intelligence and work-rate, despite earlier doubts over his fitness. He has become important for coach Claudio Úbeda, who is managing his minutes, with only three starts across those six consecutive outings, to keep him fresh for River.

La Bombonera values effort, and the explosion of the stands, and even the bench, after his Barcelona strike showed it. Herrera is close to realising a dream, a first Superclásico against River Plate at the Monumental, and will face the Millonario after that maiden goal.
