The triumph in the championship relaunches the Xeneizes while the glorious era of Gallardo closes at River. Thanks to the iron sergeant Ibarra and six talented gems
An almost cinematic epilogue and a triumph conquered at the end of a rough and troubled path. So Boca is back, Argentine champion last night for the 35th time thanks to a script difficult to conceive even for the most refined “crime writers”. The distance challenge with Racing culminating in the decisive intersection on the last day with their respective bitter rivals (River Plate and Independiente), however, does not have an exclusively “scenic” value. The triumph of the Xeneizes also has a symbolic value that can mark a sort of handover: over the era of the great River by Marcelo Gallardo, who leaves Nunez after 9 years seasoned with 14 titles (7 at home and as many continental), the Boca Juniors is ready to return as a protagonist, both at home and on the continent.
