Boca kicked off their preseason with a goalless draw against Millonarios of Colombia at La Bombonera, in a friendly match full of symbolism due to the tribute to Miguel Ángel Russo. The Xeneize were superior throughout the match, controlled the ball, and created the clearest chances, but once again suffered from a lack of efficiency to break the deadlock. The key moment came near the end of the game, when "Chango" Zeballos had the chance to secure victory from the penalty spot. Changuito, the most unbalancing player on the team that night, took responsibility, but goalkeeper Álvaro Montero guessed his intention and preserved the draw.

"In terms of gameplay analysis, Boca showed positive signs: they were organized, controlled the midfield, and had stretches of good football, especially in the first half, with Herrera and Paredes as key players. Millonarios, on the other hand, held on, focused on defense, and barely troubled Marchesín.It was just the first test of the year, with expected rotation and preseason rhythm, but the outcome leaves a clear takeaway: Boca showed an interesting foundation, were the protagonists, although they still need to take that final step in the last few meters. The result is not a concern, but the lack of goals once again raises a warning sign.
