One of the options I had Boca Juniors to classify the Copa Libertadores 2024 It was through the Argentine Cup; However, last Wednesday they lost 2-3 to Estudiantes in the semifinals and that window closed. After this defeat, ‘Xeneize’ will end 2023 without titles and, in addition, needs a miracle to play the most important tournament in South America next year. Next, we tell you the chances that the team has left. Luis Advíncula.
Boca lost the opportunity to qualify for the next edition after suffering frustrations in the 2023 Libertadores (lost the final against Fluminense), the League Cup and, recently, the Argentine Cup. However, he still has a glimmer of hope: the annual table, as long as he wins and there are a series of favorable results on the last day.

What results does Boca need to qualify?
In the annual table, the first four places qualify for the Copa Libertadores, which are now occupied by River Plate, Talleres, Godoy Cruz and Rosario Central. ‘Canalla’, fourth place, has 62 points. Then follow Estudiantes (61 points), San Lorenzo (61 points) and Boca Juniors (59 points).
To qualify this way, ‘Xeneize’ first has to beat Godoy Cruz in Mendoza, on Sunday, November 26. Then you must wait for the following results: that Central loses as a visitor against Arsenal, that Estudiantes (local) does not win against Lanús and that San Lorenzo (local) does not win against Central Córdoba. These last two play on Monday.

Extra options per annual table or Argentine Cup
River has already secured the Argentina 1 spot by winning the Professional League; The champion of the League Cup will be Argentina 2 and 3 will be the one who wins the Argentine Cup. In the latter, Estudiantes have already reached the final and are waiting for the winner of Defensa y Justicia vs. San Lorenzo (played this Thursday).
The 4th, 5th and 6th places for the next Libertadores will come from the annual table. River frees up a place for its title in the LPF; then there are Talleres (64), Godoy Cruz (63) and Central (62), none with guaranteed classification. Those who are running from behind in search of taking a place on the last day of the League Cup are Estudiantes (61), San Lorenzo (61) and Boca (59).
How would the extra be given per annual table? ‘Xeneize’ must beat Godoy Cruz to finish fifth or sixth and, if River or another team already classified by the annual table wins the League Cup, it would free up its place and one more team would enter. But if a club that is not entering the table wins the trophy, nothing changes.
And the extra for the Argentine Cup? In the event that Estudiantes or San Lorenzo win the Cup, they would release the quota obtained by the annual table. This, logically, will depend on how Boca ends up positioned in the general classification of 2023. These are the last chances that Advíncula’s team has of not missing the Libertadores.
It should be noted that there is also the possibility that the two extras could be combined.. An example: Estudiantes or San Lorenzo champion of the Argentine Cup (they left the Libertadores position in the annual table) and Central, Talleres, Godoy Cruz (as long as they are in the Libertadores zone) or River winning the League Cup.
