After defeating Gimnasia de Chivilcoy in Salta and advancing to the next round of the Copa Argentina, Adam Bareiro spoke about his debut for Boca and the goals that secured victory for the Xeneize. The club’s brand-new striker expressed his happiness about the win, and thanked the fans and Juan Román Riquelme.
The Asunción-born forward was confirmed as a Boca signing after the Xeneize’s draw against Racing at La Bombonera. His debut for the club came sooner than expected, due to multiple injuries in the team’s attacking line. Although the level of Úbeda’s squad cannot be compared to that of Gimnasia de Chivilcoy, Bareiro delivered a great performance in his first match wearing the blue and gold shirt.
From the start of the match, the Paraguayan stood out and helped Boca find the net again after two consecutive games without celebrating. After the match and securing a spot in the round of 16 of the Copa Argentina, Bareiro was very happy about joining the club: “It’s impossible to put it into words, I wanted to show the Boca fans that they will find a player who will give his life for them. One of the biggest opportunities of my career.”
In the same vein, the former Fortaleza player dedicated a few words to Juan Román Riquelme and thanked him: “If I have to dedicate the goal, it’s also to Román, who has incredible confidence in me. There were weeks of a lot of talks with them. I really wanted to come to Boca. That goal is also for him and for the Boca fans.”
Bareiro added that he “didn’t hesitate for a moment” to join the blue and gold squad and emphasized: “If Boca comes looking for you, you can’t say no.” He also took the opportunity to dedicate his goals to Tamara, his wife, who is a die-hard Xeneize fan: “I imagine she must have had a bit of a heart attack on the first play, but she must have screamed the other two so loud the whole neighborhood heard.”
After the comfortable win in Salta, the Xeneize are preparing for their next home game. The squad led by Claudio Úbeda will face Gimnasia de Mendoza in round 8 of the Torneo Apertura.

Bareiro scored both goals for the Xeneize.
The match, which will very likely be Bareiro’s debut at La Bombonera, will take place this Saturday, February 28, starting at 5:45 p.m. The blue and gold team is in almost desperate need of a win to ease the tense atmosphere caused by the team’s recent performances in the local competition.
