There was a hallway. Boca recognized the champion. And it was not a minor detail. In UNO, Xeneize complied with the protocol and paid tribute to Estudiantes, the last champion of Clausura 2025 after winning against Racing. Without stridency, without exaggerations. Cold, sober. But hallway at last.
Xeneize took the field led by Leandro Paredes, the team’s leader, who marched to the front with his teammates to receive Pincha before they took the field. There was no general ovation or applause. The recognition was brief and measured, according to a context full of tension due to how hot the weather is before the departure from Ascacibar to Xeneize.
The only one who broke that stillness was Agustín Marchesín, who applauded with conviction and greeted González Pírez, who also exchanged a greeting with Paredes in the middle of the hallway.
Why didn’t you receive it on the first date?
Estudiantes, who had not received a hall on the first date against Independiente for not playing at home, this time had their well-deserved recognition for the title obtained last year in Santiago. It was at home, in UNO, and against a strong rival. Boca understood the message and respected the protocol.
