Juan Román Riquelme will not be present at River Plate vs. Boca Juniors

We are only a few hours away from participating in a new ‘Argentine Superclassic’, among River Plate vs. Boca Juniors by the LPF. Supporters of both teams and soccer fans worldwide will be looking forward to one of the biggest events in this part of the continent. However, apparently one of the great idols (and now leader) of the ‘Xeneizes’ will not be present at the Monumental Stadium: Juan roman riquelme.

Doubts about his presence or not in the sports complex had been discussed for a few days. Rumors of his attendance increased yesterday, when Riquelme appeared at the Ezeiza property to witness the Superclásico de la Reserva.

Despite this, according to the Argentine media TyC Sports, the popular ‘Topo Gigio’ would prefer to see the match from the screen. Also, days before he had left some statements to warm up the Boca vs. River.

“We are going to a great stadium, where it will surely be a nice game. We will try to compete and enjoy as much as possible. Hopefully both their players, ours and the referees can enjoy. I have the illusion that it will be a great game and that we can win ”, he mentioned.

In the same way, in addition to the message spread, he did not miss the opportunity to make his intentions clear regarding the match against the ‘Millionaire’ team.

“And I want to make one thing clear: what I see is that, in these three years, Boca has been the one that has won the most … I came back because it bothered me that the neighbor celebrated often. Now we are winning. And on Sunday we will go to their house, and I respect them, but I always want to beat them, ”he declared.
