Boca and River they tied 2-2 at La Bombonera. It was a changing and emotional game, with two protagonists pointing all their guns at the Copa Libertadores. However, former footballer Marc Crosas did not see it that way and assured that the Superclásico is “Overvalued”.
“I understand the need to return to compete in Libertadores as a matter of prestige. Only that. Watching Boca – River it is clear to me that our football is much better than theirs. HIGHLY OVERRATED “, wrote Crosas in his account Twitter. Then, before the comments of his followers, he insisted: “Soccer in South America is highly overrated. Starting with the Qualifiers… ”.
Crosa, 32, had an atypical soccer career. At the age of 13 he entered the Barcelona quarry and made his debut in the First Division in December 2016, replacing Andrés Iniesta. With no place in the team, he went on loan to Lyon in 2018 and then went through Celtic and Volga Nizhny Novgorod of Russia. In 2012 he moved to Mexico, the country where he was nationalized: he wore the shirts of Santos Laguna, Leones Negros and Cruz Azul. He did not make his debut with the Spanish National Team, but he was in the Under 17, Under 19 and Under 21 categories, where he has 8, 4 and 1 games played respectively. He got the championship in the Eurocopa Sub 19 of the 2007 and participated in the Eurocopa Sub 21 of the 2009.
Mexican clubs want to return to the Copa Libertadores
The Mexican teams will try to play the Copa Libertadores again and, in addition, join the Sudamericana for the first time, tournaments organized by Conmebol, with the arrival of Mike Arriola to Liga MX as executive president replacing Enrique Bonilla.

According to the plan, the three teams with the most points in the calendar year and that have no place in the Concacaf tournament will go to the Copa Libertadores and the next three to the South American.
