From youth team farewell to first-team debut in the blue and gold | OneFootball

Ángel Romero fulfilled one of his great dreams and debuted with the Boca jersey in the 2-0 victory against Newell’s, for the Torneo Apertura. The Paraguayan forward came on at halftime and was a key player by generating the penalty that Leandro Paredes converted into a goal.

The story has a strong emotional content: in 2007, Ángel had been accepted into a trial in the Xeneize's youth divisions along with his brother Óscar, but both had to return to Paraguay for family reasons. Almost two decades later, the 33-year-old forward managed to close that unfinished chapter.

Free after his time with Corinthians, Romero arrived as a market opportunity and had an active debut, showing mobility and presence in the area. In a context of several absences in attack, everything indicates that he will continue to gain minutes in the short term.
