“Cycle completed”: Augusto César’s harsh opinion of Gago after Boca’s fall

Boca was eliminated from the 2025 Copa Libertadores by Alianza Lima . According to “ SomosBoca ”, the Club de la Ribera will not play the Copa Sudamericana either. Therefore, the only international tournament that Fernando Gago 's team will play this year will be the Club World Cup.

Briefly analyzing the match, Boca started winning with an unusual own goal by Miguel Trauco. Although shortly after, Hernán Barcos managed to score with a header for Pipo Gorosito's team . The score reached halftime 1-1.

In the second half, Boca regained the lead thanks to a goal by Kevin Zenón. Later, the Club de la Ribera had a few chances to take the series and qualify. However, the game finally went to penalties, where the only one who failed was Alan Velasco.

As a matter of interest, Leandro Brey came in at the last second to replace Agustín Marchesín . Several users on social media are harshly questioning this decision by Fernando Gago. While others are even calling for the coach's dismissal.

After the defeat, several users on social media are sharing all kinds of opinions . As previously shared, several consider that Gago should not continue to lead Xeneize.

One of the harshest opinions was that of journalist Augusto César: “Boca was left out of the Libertadores and will not play in the Sudamericana either. It is the punishment for a cycle that never had a footballing direction. A coach who lived confusing his team, between whims and changes, was never able to convince anyone .”

He concluded with these words: “For the first time, the fans chanted “let them all go”. The coach’s cycle has come to an end. There is no way to change this. We need to decompress . Boca’s year ended in February. It hurts but it is logical given the way Boca is under Gago.”
