Fans of Boca Juniors expressed their gratitude towards Paredes in his post, where he merely acknowledged his vacation plans. Messages such as "Can't wait to see you again with the most beautiful colors in the world" and "Take it easy. We're waiting for you at home," were common amongst the comments on his social media.
Even at Ezeiza Airport, as Paredes prepared to board the plane with his family, a group of fans chanting "Dale Boca, dale Bo" bid him farewell.
Meanwhile, the cute figure of Lautaro, the youngest Paredes boy born at the end of March this year, didn't go unnoticed. With a wide smile, he was the center of attention.
