Bareiro is a player who always captivated Juan Román Riquelme.Some time ago, when he was still wearing the Ciclón shirt, the Boquense president declared: “The 9 of San Lorenzo seems to me to compete all the time. It competes, it competes and that’s what football is for me. He who plays badly, if he competes, becomes good; he who is good and competes becomes very good; and he who is very good and competes is Messi. You can be very good, but if you don’t like to compete, you become normal. He9 from San Lorenzo competes all the time, against anyone. They play in the Argentine Cup and fight against the other team’s defender.After 3 days against Huracán, that’s what football is.

After his final farewell to River, Bareiro had declared: “The decision to come was difficult for me, I was able to get to know the River World, it was a very short time, but it seemed like years because of the affinity I had with my teammates and the people of the club. It is a very nice institution that demands a lot from you, it is very heavy, it is not for many to be in a club like River.”

During his stay in the River Plate entity, he played only one Superclásico in September 2024: it was 1-0 for Millonario due to Manuel Lanzini’s goal. That afternoon at Bombonera, Marcelo Gallardo started Bareiro and replaced him with Miguel Borja in the complement.

Boca’s forward problems have worsened in the last half.Edinson Cavani will only return to concentration today after a long wait due to being a victim of low back pain that has been bothering him for a long time (he barely added any minutes in three official matches in the last five months).In addition, Milton Giménez remains under treatment for pubalgia and there are no details regarding his return to the fields.For this reason, Xeneize took advantage of the space given to them by Rodrigo Battaglia’s injury to find a 9 that would give them presence and hierarchy in the rival area.

Until now, Claudio Úbeda had been making do with Miguel Merentiel, LucasJanson and Iker Zufiaurre, but clearly more by improvisation and lack of alternatives than by his own conviction.In addition, Reserve youth players Valentino Simoni and Ignacio Rodríguez were loaned (to Gimnasia de Mendoza and Atlanta, respectively) in the last market.With the possible arrival of Bareiro, for which Boca will have time until February 18 (deadline to sign for the injured Battaglia), it would rearrange its offense.
