Valentín Barco, El Colo, only 18 years old, was the great figure of Boca in the most important victory in recent years for the Copa Libertadores. It was 2-1 against Deportivo Pereira with two goals in the last 9 minutes -Advíncula and Varela-, in another lackluster performance by Xeneize now directed by Jorge Almirón.
The kid Barco was the banner of the comeback, he always overflowed, faced and threw the cross-pass for the winning goal. La Bombonera gave him an ovation and after the game, on TV, he found out that Javier Mascherano had called him on the preliminary list for the Under 20 World Cup to be played in our country.
And the networks explode.
