Overview
- Edinson Cavani said he has analyzed the failed chance against Alianza Lima “a thousand times,” calling it the moment he most regretted in 2025.
- He detailed the sequence as a near-post run, collision and fall, a rapid recovery, then an instinctive swing that he struck too late.
- The opportunity came from a Williams Alarcón pass in stoppage time of the second leg at La Bombonera, with Boca later falling on penalties after a 2-1 win that forced the shootout.
- Cavani pointed to exhaustion and low oxygen as factors that left him disoriented in the box, explaining why his finish lacked precision.
- He acknowledged heavy criticism but said he avoids using social media for validation, reflected on a season of 24 official appearances, and expressed optimism for 2026.
