Overview

• Agustín Marchesín’s display in the 1-2 defeat at Defensa y Justicia drew heavy scrutiny after an avoidable penalty on Abiel Osorio and a late misjudged action on the winner.
• Captain Leandro Paredes publicly admonished Marchesín on the pitch following the penalty, telling him he needed to be positioned higher up the field.
• Sergio Romero resurfaced in a viral video outside the Martín Fierro awards, saying “Nunca me fui” and acknowledging he misses guarding Boca’s goal, though he remains out of the lineup.
• Romero has not played for Boca since November 23, 2024, continues to train with the squad, and faces questions over fitness after a period of marginalization.
• With Miguel Ángel Russo on medical leave and Claudio Úbeda in charge, major changes in goal appear unlikely as Boca sit fourth in the annual table and weigh uncertain alternatives in Leandro Brey and Javier García.
