Boca Juniors, flaming champion of the Argentine Cup, will say goodbye today to a year in which he won two titles with a friendly against Barcelona to be played in Saudi Arabia and will pay tribute to Diego Armando Maradona, just over a year after his death.
At what time and where to watch Boca vs Barcelona
The meeting, called the Maradona Cup, will begin at 2:00 p.m. (Argentine time) at the Mrsool Park stadium, with a capacity for 25,000 people and located in the capital Riyadh. The friendly between “xeneizes” and Catalans will be televised on the TNT Sports signal.
Boca settled in the Saudi capital with its full roster after closing its official 2021 competition in a good way, in which it added two titles and reached the 71st star throughout its history.
Apart from the questions received about his football project, the “xeneize” raised the Diego Maradona Cup with Miguel Ángel Russo as DT, after beating Banfield on penalties in San Juan, and last week he fastened the Argentina Cup, with a victory by the same route before Talleres de Córdoba in Santiago del Estero, which meant the first title of the Sebastián Battaglia era.
The Catalan team “, led by Xavi, is experiencing a gloomy reality: it is 18 points behind the leader Real Madrid in LaLiga and occupies eighth place, outside the area of access to international cups.
Last week, they were eliminated from the group stage of the European Champions League and moved on to the European League, where they will face Napoli of Italy in the round of 16.
