Lucas Beltramo reviewed Boca's campaign and its decisive matches, from Di Lollo's goal against Riestra to secure the first three points to Aranda's debut against Estudiantes in La Plata, where, as he wrote, he hooked and shot at the goal and was close to equalizing. He also recalled the victory against Newell’s with a goal from Blanco, Zufiaurre's goal in the loss against Vélez, Paredes' self-criticism after the 0-0 with Platense, and the goalless draws with Racing — in which Boca did not shoot in the first half — and Gimnasia de Mendoza, the third consecutive draw at home. In this last match, he highlighted that Aranda asked for more minutes from the bench. Beltramo placed the start of a new stage in the 3-0 victory over Lanús in the South: Aranda was a starter, Ascacíbar scored his first goal, and Merentiel netted two, one after a pass from Paredes. In his review, he included the draws with San Lorenzo and Unión, Aranda's goal against Instituto, Bareiro's goal against Talleres in Córdoba, and the draw against Independiente with substitutes. He also mentioned Paredes' gesture in the Monumental, the thrashing in Florencio Varela, Boca's game in Santiago del Estero, and the change of coach, with Úbeda leaving and Vasco arriving. The author also recalled the defeat against Riestra, which he described as the first and last of Arruabarrena in the league; the 2-2 with Newell’s at the Marcelo Bielsa, with Flores as the protagonist; and Ruso's apology after scoring against Estudiantes in Parque Patricios. He pointed out that Boca had 30 shots against Vélez without winning, that Montero adapted to the team, and that then came the missed goals against Platense, Merentiel's equalizer against Racing, Belmonte's last-minute goal against Lanús, and the 2-2 with Gimnasia de Mendoza, in which he highlighted Velasco's goal and the defensive problems with three center-backs. Among other moments, Beltramo emphasized Ángel Romero's performance against Central Córdoba and Valencia's scoring debut; Paredes' performance in Bajo Flores; Flores' brace in the 3-0 against Unión; the points that, as he wrote, Boca let slip against Instituto in the Kempes; and the comeback against Talleres. He also recalled the victory in Avellaneda, with Montero in goal, Di Lollo's goal in the Superclásico, and Belmonte's last-minute goal that, as he stated, gave Boca the league title. Beltramo asserted that Boca was crowned champion of the annual 2026 League despite playing more classics than any other team, not sharing a zone with the relegated teams, and competing in three tournaments throughout the year. He attributed the achievement to the evolution of the goalkeeper, the presence of two center-backs trained at the club, the offensive contributions from the full-backs, Paredes — whom he called the best central midfielder in the world — and his partnership with Delgado. He also highlighted the goals and the display from Ruso, the contributions from Aranda and Flores, Villa's best game when the ball mattered most, Merentiel's 10 goals, and Valencia's contribution. Finally, he praised the coach and considered that his hiring by Riquelme had been a success; he wrote that Boca should sew on its 75th star. #BocaJuniors #FútbolArgentino #LigaProfesional (translated)

Gen stated that, under Di Carlo's management, the team had suffered a series of bad results which he attributed to the incompetence of its leaders. He pointed out that in less than a year they lost three derbies, set a historical record for consecutive defeats, and were eliminated from the Libertadores 2026 for the first time in years; he also predicted that they would probably not compete in the next edition either. He also described the performances in the Argentine Cup and the South American Cup as shameful, stating that the club had let a final slip away in Córdoba and wasted hundreds of millions of dollars. He added that the management had dismissed two coaches, turned to someone who was not one, and improvised in the renewal of the squad. Gen rejected the notion that it was bad luck and described the events as a series of mistakes that, as he wrote, evidenced the absence of direction, leadership, and a footballing project. Finally, he urgently called for elections and warned that the damage could be irreparable. #Fútbol #CrisisDeportivo #EleccionesUrgentes (translated)

LIVING CERIGNOLA: THE MILITARY ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE BATTLE OF CERIGNOLA ARRIVES ON "POPULAR ARCHAEOLOGY USA" CERIGNOLA (FG) - The Battle of Cerignola on April 28, 1503, returns to the center of international debate. The prestigious American magazine Popular Archaeology has dedicated an extensive in-depth article to the battle that changed European military history: the first in which over 1,000 Spanish arquebusiers under Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, sheltered behind a trench reinforced with vineyard posts, stopped the charge of the elite heavy cavalry of the Duke of Nemours. A trench that, in fact, rendered cavalry obsolete and inaugurated the era of infantry armed with fire, determining control of the Mediterranean for the next 160 years. The article highlights the decades-long microhistorical research work of the Torre Alemanna Study and Research Center in Cerignola led by Dr. Matteo Stuppiello: from the letter of Consalvo de Cordoba to the Kings of Spain (April 29, 1503), to the graffiti of 1503 in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, to the land registries of the State Archive of Naples that explain the agrarian origin of that trench. A battlefield still lacking a map and protection, but scientifically rediscoverable thanks to technologies such as LiDAR ISPRA, magnetometry, and ground-penetrating radar. An important recognition for Cerignola, for the Tavoliere, and for all historical research in Puglia, which today deserves a systematic project for the archaeology of battlefields. (translated)
