We had some merit, the games we had to win, we won them on penalties or whatever and now we win comfortably“, he exclaimed.
But for Boca there is still no rest, because on Thursday he had a commitment for Libertadores Cup in view of Deportivo Calimainly for classification. “Now to celebrate and open to think about the Cup, that will be difficult. It’s a dream to win and get into the round of 16”he hopes.
