Boca head to Brazil with a settled side | OneFootball

With the final training session completed at the Ezeiza complex, Boca’s squad and all their hopes set course for Brazilian soil, where this Tuesday they will have to stand their ground against Cruzeiro at the Mineirão with the hope of staying at the top of Copa Libertadores Group D. With no physical setbacks, Claudio Úbeda boarded the plane with the team already decided.

After the rotation in the 4-0 win over Defensa y Justicia, where only Leandro Brey and Milton Delgado (due to the emergency caused by Ander Herrera’s injury) started, El Sifón will field his strongest eleven in the third matchday of the continental tournament: in other words, there will be 9 changes from the lineup that played in Florencio Varela.

Around midday, once training had ended and the squad list was confirmed, Boca headed to Ezeiza and departed for Belo Horizonte, on paper the toughest match awaiting them in the group stage, which they currently lead with a perfect record (six points).

Cruzeiro sit third with three points, after beating Barcelona SC in their opener and then surprisingly losing at home to Universidad Católica in the last round, so in Brazil they are well aware that a lot is at stake against the Xeneize. It will be a clash of giants, with a long history in continental competition, in which neither side will hold anything back because it could be the match that decides the leadership of Group D.

Úbeda will stick to his policy of playing all of Boca’s starters in the Libertadores, and all signs point to him rotating again for next weekend’s visit to Central Córdoba, in the final round of the Torneo Apertura.
