Enzo Fernández and Moises Caicedo gave their impressions of the Copa Libertadores final

The final of the Copa Libertadores between Boca Juniors and Fluminense next Saturday, November 4 at the Maracaná stadium attracts attention from all corners of the planet. The clash between Xeneize, six-time champion of the competition, against the Brazilian team, who never lifted the mythical trophy, has its special attraction. That is why, in the days before referee Wilmar Roldán’s initial whistle, footballers from all over the world are encouraged to give their opinion and choose their favorite.

One of those consulted was Enzo Fernández, a player for Chelsea and the Argentine national team, who first ignored it. “What time do they play?” he consulted the flyer, to which the journalist confirmed that it was 8pm in England. “I might see it then,” replied the former River Plate player while he scratched his ear. “I think Fluminense is going to win. They have very good Brazilian players, a very good squad and I saw them a lot. I think they are going to win even though I haven’t seen Boca play,” said his teammate Moisés Caicedo about the final.

The interviewer took advantage of the Ecuadorian’s response to support Enzo’s position: “My brothers are going to go with Boca, I don’t have a preference. For me, let the best win, but I am going to support Fluminense.” The Chelsea midfielder wore the Millonario shirt until July 2022 when he moved to Benfica after Núñez’s team was eliminated in the round of 16 of that year’s Copa Libertadores against Vélez Sarsfield. Emerging in River’s Inferiores, it was no surprise that he leaned toward the Brazilian club.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday night more than 6,000 Boca fans left La Bombonera in 85 buses with Rio as the last stop: regardless of the acquisition of seats for the match, everyone dreams that it will be the trip of their lives and that the Jorge Almirón’s team returns with the seventh. It will be about 50 hours of travel along Argentine and Brazilian routes to join the 2,600 kilometers between Capital Federal and Rio de Janeiro.

The authorities of the Brazilian city took measures to contain the visitors, who are already revolutionizing the city’s beaches and streets, in addition to having skyrocketed the occupancy of hotel capacity at this time of the year. According to O Globo, the City Council announced a special scheme for the reception of the public that will consist of the reinforcement of police and private personnel in each of the kiosks set up along Copacabana beach.
