This Sunday Bayern Munich was consecrated Champions League champion after win absolutely every game in the competition. This record did not scare Chicho serna, former midfielder of Boca, than recalled with an irony the final of the 2001 Intercontinental Cup in which the Xeneize lost to the Germans and he got excited about a rematch.
Hours after Hans-Dieter Flick’s team win 1-0 over PSG in Lisbon, Portugal, the former Colombian footballer made a striking post on his Instagram account. “How nice would a rematch be in normal conditions“wrote Chicho, 52, along with an image in which he is seen greeting ex-goalkeeper Oliver Kahn in the preview of the aforementioned game, while in the background the referees appear” disguised “as the characters of The Paper House.
This is a game that was very marked for the multi-champion with Boca. A few months ago, Serna had already referred to this match: “The paper house? NO! This was the biggest robbery of the 21st century “.
At that time, the German cast won 1-0 in lengthening time, thanks to a goal from Samuel Kuffour that aroused the anger of the Argentine team players, who understood that in that play there was an infraction by one of the rivals. In fact, years later, Giovane Elbe acknowledged that he committed a foul prior to the goal: “Catching the rival was our liveliness, it may be. I had no more to do, I hoped that the ball would not hit either of the two players who were on the line and that Sammy scored the goal. That was 1-0 and we went back to Munich with the drink, “he said.

At this point, talking about a possible rematch is too hasty. While Bayern Munich secured their place in the Club World Cup, Boca He will only resume his participation in the Copa Libertadores on September 17, when he visits Libertad de Paraguay for the group stage.
A week later, those led by Miguel Ángel Russo will travel to Colombia to face Independiente Medellín (09/24), and then they will define the pass to the round of 16 with two matches in Bombonera: against Libertad (9/29) and against Caracas of Venezuela (10/22).
The whole of La Ribera dreams of break a 13 year drought and raise a Copa Libertadores again, a competition that was awarded six times, but has not been able to win since 2007. At that time, the coach was precisely Miguel Russo, while Juan Román Riquelme was the superlative figure of the team.
