Media in Argentina really giving Boca a difficult time.. Juan Roman Riquelme who is the president has been told to leave by many of its members, Russo the coach has also left (although he was a temporary coach after Juan Gago was let go). I follow river plate my whole life and I am a life member of them, i can giver some perspective and background about Boca, Boca has always been divided, but now the division has deepened further because there are no sporting results. There are those who love Riquelme and those who do not love him, due to the club's politics and opposition. Boca Juniors' season is dramatic, as have been their recent years. The Buenos Aires team has not won the Libertadores since 2007, losing in the final in 2012, 2018, and 2023, and has not won a national competition since the league title in 2022. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, and the last six months have been a constant fall towards the edge of La Bombonera, with Juan Román Riquelme, the club's ultimate idol and president, increasingly questioned by fans who will love him eternally but who also want to win. Boca was eliminated in the Libertadores preliminary stage against Alianza de Lima and lost in the quarterfinals of the Apertura tournament against Independiente, confirming the sporting and institutional crisis that led to the dismissal of Fernando Gago, who was on the bench: "Let them all go," chanted the Bombonera stands that day. I spoke to my uncle in Buenos Aires after the match, he said Boca Juniors is completely lacking in everything, and unfortunately, it's going to stay that way until there's a change in management. There's no sporting project whatsoever, no one qualified to do scouting, no sporting director either, the physical trainers have been a disaster for years. The club is run like it's a team playing in a local league, and it shows on the pitch... long may it continue :D
