Bombshell: River player revealed to be a Boca fan | OneFootball

Boca is preparing for the upcoming commitments with the main goal of qualifying for the 2026 Copa Libertadores. Among the upcoming matches, the Xeneize will also have to face River in a new edition of the Superclásico. In this context, it was leaked that a River player is a fan of the club from La Ribera.

The rivalry between Boca and River dates back many years. From being born in the same neighborhood, in La Boca, to going through hundreds of unforgettable encounters. In the long history, there have been many players who wore both jerseys, with Marcelo Saracchi and Facundo Colidio being the latest to switch sides. However, the Millonario has a player who is a declared fan of the Xeneize.

This is Andrés Herrera, currently on loan at Columbus Crew in the MLS and who must return to Núñez in the coming months. Before his move to U.S. soccer, posts were discovered on his social media where he criticizes River and celebrates Boca's achievements.

The messages are from his Facebook account and date from 2010 to 2014. Herrera especially mocked River's relegation to the second division of Argentine soccer while the Xeneize led the First Division.

“In the fridge haha, the stadium is nice,” wrote the River player during a visit to the Más Monumental. He also celebrated Boca's title in the 2011 Apertura, when those from Núñez were traveling across the country competing for promotion.

Among the dozens of taunts towards River, there is also a photo with Barovero where he wrote “Happy birthday, idol. Go Boca".

These posts, leaked just after Xeneize's victory in the Superclásico for the quarterfinals of the 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional, added to his poor performances at the Millonario and led to his loan departure. The player will have to return to Núñez in mid-2026 if Columbus Crew does not exercise the purchase option.
