Boca Juniors is experiencing its worst nightmare in 2023. The Xeneize team ended the season in the worst way by failing to qualify for the Copa Libertadores 2024 on the last day of the Professional League Cup.

It should be noted that Boca Juniors had the opportunity to qualify directly for the Libertadores if they were Argentine Cup champions. However, they lost in the semifinals to Estudiantes La Plata.
