“Boca against everyone”: banners reappear before the “final” with Católica | OneFootball

In the area around La Bombonera, fans put up posters building anticipation for the clash against the Chilean side.

Boca is playing for its semester at La Bombonera. On Matchday 6 of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Group D, it hosts Universidad Católica of Chile, needing all three points to secure qualification for the round of 16 of the continental tournament.

Ahead of this match, posters appeared near the Xeneize stadium that created a tense atmosphere, as they were aimed at the refereeing decisions after the controversial calls suffered by Claudio Úbeda’s team in the home draw against Cruzeiro.

“Boca against everyone. Don’t mess with Boca,” read the posters that appeared near La Bombonera before a key showdown, since if the team fails to take all three points, it will be eliminated from the tournament and will have to play in the playoffs for the Copa Sudamericana round of 16.

These posters stem from the anger fans felt after the draw against Cruzeiro, because in that match they claimed referee Valenzuela wrongly disallowed a Merentiel goal for a handball by Milton Delgado and then did not award a penalty for a handball by Lucas Romero.
