Seven years later, Boca Juniors will play again after failing to qualify for CONMEBOL Sudamericana. CONMEBOL Libertadores of 2024.
Xeneize did their part by defeating Godoy Cruz in Mendoza, but needed back-to-back results to play in the highest continental competition, the same competition they recently played in the final against Fluminense.
One of them is not given: San Lorenzo defeated Central Córdoba in the Nuevo Casometro and surpassed the Ribera club in the annual table, so Boca were left with no mathematical chance of playing in the Libertadores.These include River Plate, Tolares, Rosario Central, San Lorenzo, the champion of the Argentine Cup (Estudiantes or Defensa y Justicia) and the winner of the League Cup.
If Millonario or Canalla, classified for the quarter-finals of the second competition of the year, are consecrated, Godoy Cruz will be the beneficiary of the ‘extra quota’, so Xeneize has no chance after a season. Added one 62 points in 41 games (+10 difference).
Boca haven’t missed a top-flight tournament since 2017, a year in which he didn’t even play in the second row (his last forerunner was in 2014, when he was knocked out by River in the semi-finals). Later, he played in the Libertadores 2018 (runner-up), 2019 (semi-final), 2020 (semi-final), 2021 (eighth), 2022 (eighth) and 2023 (second place).
