Boca Juniors vs Atletico Mineiro: Storylines

It’s been 43 years since Boca Juniors and Atletico Mineiro faced each other in the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores. Boca won both matches, 2-1 in Brazil and 3-1 on home soil, and ended up winning that tournament. However, their most recent matches took place at the extinct Copa Mercosur in 2000. Atletico won the first leg 1-0, and then they drew 2-2 in the second leg for the quarter-finals.

This time, the stakes are high for both teams, especially Boca Juniors. El Xeneize won’t have Carlos Tevez, who didn’t renew his contract for the team. Also, Miguel Angel Russo won’t have important players like Edwin Cardona and Frank Fabra, who played in the Copa America.

While Boca haven’t played an official match in months, Atletico Mineiro just beat America Futebol Clube 1-0 in the domestic league. Cuca’s team will try to take advantage of their competitive run while visiting Buenos Aires.
