No one in the world of soccer can remain indifferent to the clash of these two titans, who represent the soccer royalty of the American continent.

Which is better, Boca Juniors or River Plate?

This question which may seem very simple can be answered in multiple ways, as both institutions have competed over the years to decide which one is the best. 

So the answer to this question will be provided based on different aspects: who has won the Superclásico more times, and which has won more national and international trophies. 

But before starting with the count, there is a very important aspect that must be answered.

When did the Boca Juniors vs River Plate rivalry begin?

This rivalry was born on September 20, 1913, when River won 1-2 against Boca when the two clubs shared their headquarters in the neighborhood of La Boca.

Since then, they have played the leading role in numerous chapters that have been marked in the history of Argentine sports.

And the last time the Xeneizes and Millonarios met was in October 2021, when River beat Boca 2-1, with a brace from Julián Álvarez. 

But on this occasion, Sebastián Battaglia's Xeneizes will have to learn from this defeat against Marcelo Gallardo's Millonarios, to defend their colors and not allow another defeat. 

Who has won the Superclásico more times?

The advantage is minimal, but it is with Boca Juniors, who have won the Superclásico 89 times, to River Plate's 84 victories, in addition to the fact that on 84 occasions this match has ended in a draw in the Argentine Professional League.

Therefore, it could be said that in this aspect, the Xeneizes have the advantage over Los Millonarios in a rivalry that has lasted more than 100 years, in which 257 official matches have been played.    

Which team has won more Leagues, Cups and international trophies in Argentina?

In this aspect, Boca Juniors is also ahead of River Plate, as the former has 71 titles between leagues, national cups, and international tournaments, compared to 69 titles for Los Millonarios in these same categories. 

Boca Juniors vs River Plate: a rivalry in which the public wins

Although in the hard numbers the Xeneizes have the advantage over the Millonarios, it must be recognized that this rivalry still has a lot to offer soccer fans. 

And not only to Argentines but also to the followers of world soccer, since many of the stars who have later triumphed in the most important leagues, had the Super Clasico as a showcase. 

So, whoever wins in their next match on Sunday, March 20, those of us who will really win will be the soccer lovers.

Because we will see once again two titans of the continent giving their all on the field to defend their colors and the century of tradition of this rivalry, which has given us unforgettable matches.
