Boca Juniors, finalista de la Copa Libertadores: ¿por qué lo que logró el equipo argentino es inédito?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:04:02 GMT

(CNN Español) — La década de los 2000 puso a Boca Juniors en lo más alto del fútbol mundial.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty are poised to tip off their highly anticipated WNBA Finals showdown, a matchup of the preseason favorites projected to battle for the title.Both teams feature lineups comprised of MVPs, All-Stars and future Hall-of-Famers that dominated the regular season.
