Luis Advíncula did not have his best game; however, he ended up celebrating after winning the title with Boca Juniors. The Peruvian defender was approached by the media during the xeneize team's celebration and did not hide his discomfort with his performance in the match against Independiente at La Bombonera, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Popular 'Bolt' took responsibility for the mistakes made against the Avellaneda team. It turns out that the visitors' first goal was the result of a foul he committed inside the area and the referee awarded a penalty. Despite this difficult situation, coach Hugo Ibarra and his teammates supported him and he ended up playing the full 90 minutes. The gesture was appreciated by Luis Advíncula himself.
"I want to thank my teammates who have been supporting me. I have been struggling, but they are backing me up. Today, they played a very tough match. That's why I thank them and my family, who is always there," said 'Rayo' to TNT Sports.

"Even though I'm not going through a good personal moment, they are there to lift you up. That's what a team does, and that's why this team became champions (...). I am self-critical and these last few matches haven't been good personally. I have to quickly reverse this because we have two more finals ahead and we need to improve in every aspect," he added.
