Brazil is already warming to Tuesday’s return meeting with Boca Juniors after Thiago Mendes posted an image of himself tearing apart the Argentine club’s crest.
A message before the return leg
- Thiago Mendes shared the provocative image on social media ahead of Boca’s trip to Brazil for Tuesday’s second leg.
- The post showed Mendes destroying Boca’s badge, adding a sharp edge to the build-up around the tie.
- The Brazilian midfielder has previously been labelled “an idiot” by Neymar, a remark that has followed him into another high-profile South American occasion.
With the decisive match now close, Mendes’ post has ensured that the atmosphere around Boca’s visit will extend well beyond the football itself.
