The 2018-19 campaign was a season of dramatic highs and intense continental rivalry for Boca Juniors as the Xeneizes battled to a crucial 3rd-place finish in the Superliga Argentina. The attack was anchored by the prolific duo of Mauro Zárate and Ramón Ábila, who each netted six crucial league goals. However, the season was dramatically defined by their agonizing runners-up finish in the historic 2018 Copa Libertadores final against rivals River Plate in Madrid, a clash that instantly became legend. It was a turbulent year of managerial change, but one that cemented their status among the Argentine elite by also securing the Supercopa Argentina.
