After having evolved in Italy (Palermo, Naples), France (PSG), England (Manchester United) and Spain (Valencia), it was in Argentina that Edinson Cavani laid his suitcases. In July 2023, the 38 -year -old striker flew to Buenos Aires to defend the colors of the legendary club Boca Juniors, which had 35 national titles.
Diego Maradona, Juan Roman Riquelme, Carlos Tevez, Martin Palermo: the CABJ has seen some of the best players in the country. It was therefore for the Uruguayan striker an immense pride to come and end his career in such an institution. But the adventure is badly turning for the former Paris Saint-Germain Goleador.
Sunday, during the 3e Day of the championship closing tournament, the Xeneizes lost on the lawn of Huracan (0-1). A second consecutive defeat that brings the players of Miguel ángel Russo into history through the small door: they are indeed on eleven matches without victory all competitions, the worst series in the history of the club.
Edinson Cavani in hard, Boca Juniors in crisis
Boca Juniors certainly crossed the Benfica Lisbon (2-2) and Bayern Munich (1-2) route at the Club World Cup, but not having won since April 20 is a stain for a team of this renown, unable to beat training like Auckland City (1-1), Union Santa Fe (1-1) or Atlético Tucuman (1-2).
This collective crisis is spreading to the individual level for Edinson Cavani who, since the beginning of 2025, had to be satisfied with 3 goals and 2 assists in 16 disputed matches. Not spared from injuries, ex-Red Devil is under contract until December 2026 but if the results no longer follow, will he have the motivation to honor his commitment?
