After the defeat of Boca in Brazil, against Corinthians 2 to 0, the player Juan Roman Riquelme announced to the press before entering the bus: “I told the president that I will not continue. I love this club, I’ll be forever grateful, but I feel empty and I can not give more. “

Riquelme, his voice breaking and in tears, said: “The commitment I have is very large. I can not play half. 16 years ago to play football, but I have nothing left to give the club. Now I just want to go home, hug my kids, eat barbecue with friends. I apologize to my son for not carrying the Cup, “without adding more and headed for the bus.
