The final of the Copa Libertadores 2023, this Saturday at the legendary Maracaná, faces the xeneize obsession to reach the historical hegemony of the tournament against the illusion of a giant without a crown.
A perfect cocktail for a good football match without an evident favorite, which will be directed by Colombian FIFA referee Wilmar Roldán starting at 17:00 local time (20:00 GMT) in Rio de Janeiro.
Boca Juniors will play their twelfth Libertadores final and desperately pursues the seventh title after the ones won in 1977, 1978, 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2007, three of them (2000-2001-2007) thanks to the exquisite talent of Juan Román Riquelme, maximum idol of the blue and gold club from the neighborhood of La Boca in Buenos Aires, and who is currently its vice-president.
If they conquer the seventh, Boca will equal Independiente de Avellaneda as the maximum winner of the main Conmebol club tournament. Next, we present you the Boca Juniors lineup to conquer the Copa Libertadores.
Boca Formation
- Sergio Romero; Luís Advíncula, Nicolás Figal, Nicolás Valentini, Frank Fabra; Cristian Medina, Ezequiel Fernández, Pol Fernández, Valentín Barco; Miguel Merentiel, and Edinson Cavani.
