Boca Juniors aren’t going through the best moment, especially off the pitch after one of their biggest idols, Diego Armando Maradona, lost this world last November 25 due to a heart attack. Now Boca will try to pay homage to Diego and use him as an inspiration to win it all this year. 

On the other hand, we have Newell’s, that team where Diego played five games in 1993-1994 before making a return to Boca Juniors. The Lepers will try to surprise Boca at home, just like the Xeneixe did the first time they clashed in this tournament.
