Boca Juniors received a strong sanction from Conmebol, after the sanctions bulletin was known after the acts of violence that occurred last July 20, in the elimination of the xeneize team from the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Atlético de Mineiro, from Brazil, by way of penalties.
The entity that governs South American football punished eight Boca Juniors players, including the Colombian Sebastián Villa, for the excesses that occurred in the dressing room of the Mineirão stadium. Leaders and members of the coaching staff were also sanctioned with severe penalties in official Conmebol matches. In addition, the strong financial sanction for each case was also known, which will be automatically debited to the club “in terms of television rights or sponsorship,” according to the entity in its official ruling.
