Luis Advíncula was one of the top players for Boca Juniors in their qualification to the Copa Libertadores final, which they achieved by defeating Palmeiras in a penalty shootout. In that regard, the official competition website announced that the Peruvian footballer has been included in the team of the week along with other teammates.

As we know, the former Rayo Vallecano player became a trend because of the yell he directed at Nicolás Valentini during the match, as it motivated the 22-year-old defender. However, aside from that specific moment, Luis Advíncula played a very solid game and for that reason the CONMBEOL Libertadores acknowledged him by including him in the ideal eleven of the matchday.
The curious thing is that the 'Rayo' is not in his usual position, as the team uses a lineup with three center-backs and no full-backs, so the Peruvian footballer is positioned in the middle of the field. He is also not in the forward position because Edison Cavani is the one playing as the right winger in CONMEBOL's composition.
The complete ideal eleven of the week in the Copa Libertadores is as follows: Sergio Romero; Piquerez, Gabriel Mercado, Figal; Luis Advíncula, André, Pol Fernández, Barco; Edison Cavani, Germán Cano, and Kennedy. Despite being eliminated, there is a Palmeiras player and an Internacional player in the team.
When is the Copa Libertadores final taking place?
The grand final of the Copa Libertadores will take place on November 4, 2023. While the exact time has not been determined yet, the Boca Juniors vs. Fluminense match will be held at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, and the broadcast will be through ESPN and Star Plus.
