Boca’s road to the 2025 Torneo Clausura title | OneFootball

The Club Atlético Boca Juniors begins its journey in the final phase of the Clausura 2025 Tournament with the hope of adding a new star to its rich history. After finishing in the first position of Zone A, the Xeneize team led by Claudio Úbeda will have a key advantage: playing all their matches up to the semifinals at La Bombonera, a venue that promises to be decisive due to the support of its fans.

Round of 16: Talleres, the first hurdle

Boca's debut in this stage will be against Talleres de Córdoba, a rival that qualified in the last position of Zone B, thanks to Gimnasia's 3-0 victory over Platense in the final match. That result secured Lobo's qualification and determined the opponent, as it was going to be Sarmiento until that game.

Talleres, the first rival to beat.

Facing Talleres will be special because on the bench will be a Boca idol: Carlos Tevez will return to La Bombonera as a coach to face the club where he was trained as a professional footballer and won many titles in his successful career.

Possible quarterfinals: Vélez or Argentinos

If Boca surpasses Talleres, they would face the winner of the match between Vélez Sarsfield and Argentinos Juniors in the quarterfinals. Two teams with tradition and competitiveness that are usually difficult to face in their respective stadiums, but at La Bombonera, the Xeneize usually performs well. El Fortín would have the added element of their coach: Guillermo Barros Schelotto.

Semifinals: heavyweight opponents

The bracket shows that, if they reach the semifinals, Boca could face Lanús, Tigre, Racing, or River. The possibility of a classic against the Millonario at this stage generates excitement and tension, although any of the potential opponents represents a high-level challenge.

The other side of the bracket

Meanwhile, the other side of the tournament presents equally attractive clashes: Rosario Central vs Estudiantes, Central Córdoba vs San Lorenzo, Unión vs Gimnasia, and Riestra vs Barracas Central. From there, the team that will face the winner of Boca's zone in the grand final will emerge.

The grand finale in Santiago del Estero

The final of the Clausura 2025 Tournament is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero. A modern and emblematic venue that will witness the crowning of the new champion of Argentine football.
