Passionate Boca Juniors fans rallied to uplift the spirits of their team as they touched down in Argentina after a disappointing loss in the Copa Libertadores final. On Sunday, supporters thronged both the Ministro Pistarini International Airport and the Boca Juniors grounds in Ezeiza, Buenos Aires Province, expressing their unwavering support despite the previous day's setback.

The team landed on Argentine soil around 7:00 PM (10:00 PM GMT), greeted by a sea of fans adorned in the club's signature blue and yellow, with songs and scarves at the ready. The mood, albeit heavy with the sting of defeat — a narrow 2-1 loss to Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro — was buoyed by the fans' presence as players proceeded to the club's facilities before heading home.

Acknowledging their loyal fan base, Boca Juniors' official social media account shared a heartfelt message of gratitude on Sunday. "To those who journeyed to Maracanã, filled the streets of Rio, and cheered from home: words cannot express our gratitude for your profound display of affection. Boca's greatness is eternal, built by its people. Thank you for being part of the world's most significant popular movement," the club stated.

Looking ahead, the team is scheduled to resume training on Monday in preparation for their upcoming match against San Lorenzo in the Copa de la Liga, the second major tournament of the Argentine football season. Boca Juniors, currently poorly positioned seven points away from the playoff spots, is battling in the tail end of the season to secure a spot in the 2024 Copa Libertadores. With River Plate already qualified and several teams tightly packed for the remaining slots, the forthcoming fixtures are crucial, potentially influencing Almirón's future at the club, with his contract ending this year and his tactical choices in the final under heavy scrutiny.
