Two years since Edinson Cavani joined Boca: stats and unfinished business | OneFootball

After his arrival at the club in August 2023, Edinson Cavani sparked excitement at La Bombonera. He had joined with an ambitious contract and the promise of bringing goals, leadership, and experience. Two years later, that world-renowned striker has established himself as a reference point and has sparked mixed opinions among the fans.

Edinson Cavani has instilled discipline and sacrifice since joining Xeneize; however, this has not translated onto the pitch, where he is still in debt, because although he has scored goals, they were neither the ones the fans expected nor the ones needed at key moments to make a difference.

Edinson Cavani marks two years at Boca.

With the label of Uruguayan goal scorer on his shoulders and the responsibility of amplifying his legacy from European football and the Uruguay National Team, Cavani arrived at the club from La Ribera determined to leave his mark. The numbers, however, reveal a mixed record: goals that were not decisive and the absence of any titles.

Edinson Cavani’s Numbers at Boca

In his two years with the blue and gold team, Cavani has played 71 official matches and scored 26 goals. His appearances are spread across the Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, Copa Argentina, and local championships.

The Outstanding Debt

Despite his goal tally, Cavani has not lifted any trophies with Boca Juniors. The team lost the 2023 Libertadores final and was far from contending for the local league. The main thorn is not having celebrated an official championship: the great objective for this Uruguayan striker remains to lift a cup.

The Uruguayan missed several matches due to various physical issues.

Looking ahead to the immediate future, Boca only has the Torneo Clausura left for the remainder of the semester, as they were knocked out of the Copa Argentina by Atlético Tucumán and the team is currently in a complicated sporting situation.
