  • Boca has won four straight matches, with the recent Superclásico triumph over River highlighted as a key step toward Libertadores qualification.
  • Claudio Úbeda said the team has matured over the last six to seven matchdays and credited tactical discipline in neutralizing Tigre’s two‑striker setup.
  • Leandro Paredes has taken a leading role in building unity through weekly team gatherings and publicly endorsed Úbeda, drawing comparisons to Lionel Scaloni.
