Católica stumble before La Bombonera, Trabzonspor bid for Delgado

Católica arrive wounded

Universidad Católica lost their clásico 2–1 to Colo-Colo just days before flying to La Bombonera for the Libertadores decider. Dani Garnero got their goal but it wasn't enough. They're coming in off a painful defeat with confidence low, and you know Boca fans will make that count on Wednesday. (1)

Trabzonspor bid for Delgado

Turkish side Trabzonspor have tabled an official offer for young defender Milton Delgado. Boca responded, though details of the counter aren't public yet. Beşiktaş are also sniffing around. The 19-year-old has been monitored by European clubs for months, and this won't be the last bid. (2)

Dybala's agent meets Boca players

Paulo Dybala's agent was spotted meeting Leandro Paredes and several Boca players in Buenos Aires. Nothing confirmed, no deal done, but the timing is impossible to ignore. A Dybala link to Boca has been a fan dream for years. This little dinner just poured fuel on it. (3)

Fan-reaktioner

Fans are already in full Libertadores mode, one post simply reading "Now the important stuff" ahead of Wednesday. But the dominant mood this weekend is pure schadenfreude: River lost to Belgrano and the subreddit is absolutely feasting. "Two dads," one fan posted, while another called it "our Trojan horses." The rivalry never sleeps. See the buzz
