After Matchday 14, Boca Juniors are placed 6th in the Clausura table and are still in the Copa Libertadores... in the quarter finals atm, versus Atlas (Mexico).
It had been an awful tournament for the team. losing too many points, especially away from home. showing very weak performances, almost in every match. the attack was shameful. Riquelme was the only player who was realy good but he missed more than 3 quarters of the league matches!
the title seems impossible now. river plate and estudiantes are only 4 points ahead but they are on much better form (especially estudiantes), san lorenzo as well are very hot atm after their bad start to the season... unless riquelme gets on shape again and plays all the remaining matches we can't get it.
one good thing, though, was the victory in the super-classico... we got a 1-0 in a low class match of football...
in the Libertadores, things are just a bit better. the group stage was no good, we finished second in not a group that is not too tough... in the last 16 stage we had 2 great matches against cruzeiro(Brasil) and now we have Atlas to beat away in order to proceed... the first leg ended with a disappointing 2:2 in la bombonera.
*MD15: Boca - Racing, Tonight.
