Argentine national team goalkeeper, who currently plays for Olympique de Marseille, compared the Boca Juniors' fan base to that of the French team.

Boca Juniors is a club recognized worldwide for the support of its fans, and one of the current goalkeepers of the Argentine national team has confirmed this with his recent statements.

Gerónimo Rulli, a member of the world champion squad in Qatar and a regular in Scaloni's call-ups, spoke about the fans of his current club, Olympique de Marseille, and compared them to those of Boca Juniors.

"They are similar or the same. Historically, (Olympique de Marseille) is the biggest in France and is the only one that has won the Champions League, for example. I see people, I see that despite the results, they are always at the foot of the cannon and I notice many similarities with what is the Boca fan," Rulli commented in dialogue with ESPN.

To be more graphic in his statements, Gerónimo Rulli referred to the reaction of Boca Juniors fans after the tough elimination on penalties in the preliminary phase of the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores.

"The clearest example was the other day when they were eliminated from the Cup (Libertadores) and the next game with (Rosario) Central, the stadium was packed, that speaks well of their fan base. Here in Europe, they see that and can't believe it," he concluded.

Rulli, 32, was trained as a footballer in the Estudiantes de La Plata academy, but this is not the first time he has spoken well of Boca. In the past, he was close to signing with the 'Xeneize' and has already confessed that he has the desire to do so in the future.
