Edinson Cavani could win his first club continental title on Saturday, when his Boca Juniors plays Brazil’s Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores final.
The Argentinian giants will play for their seventh title in the tournament, while the hosts at the Maracanã Stadium will push for their first with the key help of multiple Champions League winner Marcelo.
The 36-year-old Cavani and the 35-year-old Marcelo will have the support of younger attacking players who have made the difference in the knockout stage of South America’s main club tournament; 19-year-old Argentinian midfielder Valentín Barco is a big hope of creativity for Boca, while Fluminense trusts the speed and strength of 21-year-old striker John Kennedy to win.
The Argentinians had their first practice session in Rio on Thursday at the Vasco da Gama training ground. Esequiel Barco was spared before the trip, and journalists were not able to see whether he had been once again replaced by Luca Langoni two days before the final. “We are hoping to give Boca its seventh. That is what everyone wishes for such a long time,” Romero told the South American soccer body CONMEBOL in an interview. “I trust and I have blind faith that things will go our way and we will win it.”
