It’s not the first time, and it almost seems scripted. Javier Milei once again compared his government to a Boca Juniors match and even compared himself to Sebastián Battaglia in an interview with A24.

When asked about the mistakes or bad decisions made by his government, the president decided to recall the Intercontinental Cup that “Xeneize” won against Milan of Italy in 2003 in Japan: “I usually give an example that I love, which is the Boca vs. Milan final in Japan,” he said.

“It ended up going to penalties, that is, Boca won on penalties, and Battaglia had missed his penalty kick. A journalist goes up to Battaglia and asks him how it feels to have missed the penalty. And Battaglia, with great wisdom, replies: ‘Have you ever taken a penalty in a world final?’” he recalled.

And continuing, he tried to argue that his mistakes are like taking a penalty: “The ones who miss penalties are the ones who take them. Those who don’t take them… And those in the stands, even less.” And he concluded: “So, here’s my point. When you do things, there’s a chance you’ll make mistakes. And if you do a lot, well, then there’s also a chance you’ll make a lot of mistakes.”

His latest comparison, also from the “Xeneize” golden era: “Boca kept on winning…”

The relationship between Javier Milei and Victoria Villarruel has been broken for months and is not at its best. Even so, the Head of State compared this situation to Juan Román Riquelme and one of his idols, Martín Palermo, in March of this year.

In this context, during a one-on-one interview with La Nación, the president confirmed that he doesn’t have much contact with Villarruel: “I think if you’re the CEO of a company, you don’t care if A or B get along, what matters to you are the results.

“Riquelme and Palermo didn’t get along, and Palermo kept scoring goals and Boca kept winning and both of them were winning,” he emphasized, and when asked again if the relationship is bad, he admitted: “It doesn’t matter. Does it work? (affirmative gesture from the interviewer) Done.”
