A few hours before its start, the Super Classic between River and Boca adds a special condiment: Juan Román Riquelme could say he was present at the Monumental to accompany the Xeneize delegation in the match corresponding to the 15th date of the Apertura Tournament.
The decision would mark a change compared to the last crossing in Núñez, in April 2025, when the team then led by Marcelo Gallardo won 2-1 and the current president of Boca chose to follow the game from another place. This time, however, he chose to be part of the entourage in a scenario that was always hostile to the leaders of the visiting club.
Beyond this change in position, this would not be his first time at the Estadio Monumental stadium since taking office as leader. He had already attended in February 2024, in the first Superclasico of his administration, which ended 1-1 and in which he left a strong refereeing complaint for a play involving Andrés Herrera and Kevin Zenón
