Boca Juniors is facing an unprecedented crisis: eleven consecutive matches without a win across all competitions—marking the worst run in the club’s 120-year history. The latest blow came on Sunday with a 1–0 loss to Huracán in Parque Patricios, extending a streak that now includes six draws and five defeats since mid-April.

When Did This Unstoppable Downward Spiral Begin?

The last time Boca celebrated a victory was on April 19, a 2–0 win over Estudiantes de La Plata. Since then, the team went winless under Fernando Gago, who was eventually replaced—first by interim coach Mariano Herrón, and then by Miguel Ángel Russo.

The negative streak spans not only league matches but also international knockout games, including the Copa Argentina and the FIFA Club World Cup.

What Did Miguel Ángel Russo Say After the Latest Defeat?

Following the loss to Huracán, Russo didn’t shy away from taking full responsibility for the club’s dire form and issued an apology to the fans:

“To the fans, I ask for forgiveness and offer my apologies. This isn’t normal or natural for this stage. I’m not used to losing with Boca,” he admitted.

The veteran coach emphasized the need for internal changes and a clearer tactical approach to overcome the situation.

How Is This Crisis Affecting Boca’s Standing and Future?

As a result of the streak, Boca now sits second to last in the Torneo Clausura, with relegation becoming a real threat and no margin for error left. The pressure is mounting on club president Juan Román Riquelme, who oversaw more than $26 million in signings this transfer window—so far without any return on investment.

An immediate turnaround is not just expected—it’s required—to prevent both sporting failure and political fallout at one of Argentina’s most iconic clubs.
