Amid the excitement following their big win over Defensa y Justicia, young center-back Lautaro Di Lollo made headlines with a fiery message directed at Harry Kane, the star striker of Bayern Munich, ahead of the Club World Cup. The Boca Juniors defender, who has been gaining prominence under Fernando Gago, did not hold back, and his words quickly sparked reactions in the football world.

Di Lollo Heats Up the Clash with Bayern Munich

Boca Juniors’ biggest goal for 2025 is the Club World Cup, set to take place in June. While the team still has key matches ahead this season, anticipation for the international tournament is already building. After their 3-0 victory over Defensa y Justicia, Di Lollo was asked about the potential showdown against Bayern Munich, and he didn’t hesitate to deliver a bold statement.

"Harry Kane is a world-class striker, but we’re going to give it our all. I’m going to kill him!" the defender said with a laugh. Though his comment was made in a joking manner, it quickly spread across social media and caught the attention of many.

For his part, Kane also addressed the possible match against the Argentine giants. In an interview with FIFA, the English striker admitted he is looking forward to facing Boca: "It will be a special match. I think it will be one of the standout games of the group stage and, honestly, of the entire tournament."

Gago and Boca’s Ambitions

Beyond the statements from his players, Fernando Gago remains focused on the team’s progress. Following their win over Defensa y Justicia, the coach analyzed his squad’s performance in a press conference:

"Today, the team played very well, understanding where to create superiority. Overall, it was a good match. We had control both offensively and defensively, although we struggled a bit more in the first half," Gago explained.

The manager also made it clear that the road to a title won’t be easy and that his squad must continue improving: "If we want to be champions, we have to keep growing. We can’t get carried away by one result; we have to take it one step at a time."

With the Club World Cup on the horizon, Boca continues its preparations to take on the international challenge in the best possible way. And while the highly anticipated clash with Bayern Munich is still months away, Di Lollo’s remarks have already added extra spice to what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
