Inside the ‘customised’ dressing room that stunned Boca players | OneFootball

Boca felt right at home in Núñez. Before the match even started, the Xeneize had already won the psychological battle in the hallways of the Monumental. As has become customary under Juan Román Riquelme’s leadership, the club’s equipment staff carried out a lightning-fast operation to turn the away dressing room into a purely blue-and-gold bunker.

Upon arriving at the Monumental, Claudio Úbeda’s squad found a setup that erased any trace of River. Walls covered in decals, flags hanging from the ceiling, and phrases meant to spark the fire before warm-up: “The biggest popular movement in the world” and a forceful “The only big club” decorated the walls where the Millonario’s opponents usually get changed.

In the end, the equipment managers’ “mystique” paid off: Boca claimed a huge away win, extended its positive run in the clásicos, and made it clear that, for them, there are no unfamiliar stages.
