Overview

  • After roughly three months without public statements, Juan Román Riquelme granted a televised interview on Boca Juniors’ official channel.
  • He claimed a financial surplus of 35,000 million pesos, while at least one outlet reported the figure as USD 35 million, underscoring a currency discrepancy in coverage.
  • Riquelme highlighted restoration work at La Bombonera, including the main door at Brandsen 805, as well as improvements to bathrooms, parking areas and food services.
  • He praised Leandro Paredes and Edinson Cavani and called coach Miguel Ángel Russo “a genius,” yet offered no update on Russo’s medical leave or current responsibilities, with assistants Claudio Úbeda and Juvenal Rodríguez having led duties recently.
  • Live chat reactions on the club’s YouTube stream were largely critical, reflecting frustration over the lack of clarity on coaching and on-field performance.
