They didn't wait! River's mockery of Boca on social media after the elimination from the Copa Libertadores

Boca 's elimination in the preliminary phase of the2025 Copa Libertadores against Alianza Lima , in the Bombonera , generated a flood of reactions. From the classic jokes in the street to the inevitable memes on social media, the fall of the Xeneize did not go unnoticed. However, what generated the most expectation among River fans was the club's official reaction.

For that, they had to wait until 10 in the morning, when the official Millonario account reappeared with a message loaded with irony that did not go unnoticed and that generated a great stir on social networks, especially among fans of both clubs.

"Good morning, Millonarios! There are 19 days left until the draw for the group stage of the Libertadores," River Plate posted, making a direct reference to Boca 's absence in the next stage of the tournament. While Núñez 's team will be seeded for leading the CONMEBOL ranking, their classic rival was left out of all international competition until at least 2026.

The possibility of a Superclásico in the group stage had been a source of speculation, since the regulations allow a team from the preliminary phase to share a zone with another from the same country. However, this chance vanished after the elimination of the Xeneize , who could not even reach Phase 3 , the only way that would have allowed them to play in the 2024 Copa Sudamericana .

The sporting blow not only left Boca without international tournaments, but also sparked discontent among fans, who expected a better performance in the competition. With the early farewell to the Libertadores , the team led by Fernando Gago will have to focus exclusively on local competitions, in a year that promises to be complicated.

The innuendos were not limited to the club's official social networks. Rodolfo D'Onofrio , former president of River , launched a message that recalled a phrase from Mauricio Macri before the historic final of the 2018 Libertadores . "Before December 9, 2018, someone said that whoever lost would take 20 years to recover. He was right," wrote the former club president.

For his part, Stefano Di Carlo , current 2nd Vice President and presidential candidate, also joined in the mockery. On his X account, he alluded to the team's return to the Más Monumental , highlighting that it is the "largest stadium in South America" , a detail that did not go unnoticed amid the fall of his eternal rival.
