Roldán appointed referee for Boca's Libertadores decider

Roldán gets the whistle for your decider

Conmebol has assigned Wilmar Roldán as referee for Boca's final Libertadores group stage match against Universidad Católica (1) (2). This is not a neutral appointment. Roldán has a long and contentious history with Boca, including several controversial decisions that have gone against your team in past continental matches. (1) (2)

Cruzeiro set for Chapecoense

Cruzeiro, who drew with Boca in the Libertadores earlier in this campaign, may field the same XI against Chapecoense in the Brasileirão this weekend (3). Artur Jorge has options across the squad but is leaning toward continuity. (3)

Fan reactions

The fanbase is buzzing ahead of Thursday's Libertadores decider, with anxiety levels high. Merentiel's injury is the dominant talking point, supporters are scrambling to figure out who leads the line in a must-win game. On the transfer front, Reddit is treating the Delgado links to Inter Milan and Bournemouth as pure smoke, but the rumored €15M release clause has some fans worried it's too low. Join the discussion
