Boca dropped points again at La Bombonera. The 1-1 draw against San Lorenzo halted the momentum the team had gained after the 3-0 win over Lanús and once again exposed a problem that still has no solution: the right back position.

Gregorio Rodríguez’s goal came precisely from that area. The play once again put the spotlight on Weigandt, who was booed by part of the crowd and ended up at the center of criticism.

Chelo started again due to Barinaga’s injury and has now played five matches since his return from his loan at Inter Miami. During this stretch, the team hasn’t lost, but they haven’t managed to convince with their play either, and the right back position remains unsettled.

Barinaga, who started the cycle as the first-choice, also failed to establish himself. That’s why some fans are calling for more minutes for Dylan Gorosito, a right back who came up through the youth ranks and has experience with the national youth teams. So far, he has only played 15 minutes in the match against Gimnasia de Chivilcoy in the Copa Argentina.

The last right back to stand out was Luis Advíncula in 2023. An important part of Almirón’s team, even playing as a winger in some matches, and scoring four goals in the Copa Libertadores, including one in the final.

Another option in the squad was Lucas Blondel, although the coaching staff decided to loan him to Huracán after several months without playing. While Boca tries to regain consistency, the right back position remains a question mark that the team has yet to solve.
