Boca Juniors forward Santiago Silva says him and his team-mates will be on a revenge mission tonight when they take on Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores at the Engenhão.
The Argentine side still have bad memories of their 2008 Copa Libertadores semi-final defeat to Fluminense when goals from Washington, Dario Conca and Dodô ended their dreams of reaching the final.
''There is a sense of revenge against Fluminense, not only for the defeat in 2008, but their victory against us in the Bombonera [last month],'' Silva told reporters.
''We intend to give it to them back at the Engenhão, but we will do this with cool heads, not with anger but with a feeling of revenge.''
With two games remaining in Group 4, Fluminense currently sit in first position with twelve points, whilst Boca Juniors sit lie in second with seven points. A win at the Engenhão for Boca would qualify them into the last-16 of the Copa Libertadores.
When the two sides last went head-to-head in March, Fluminense won 2-1 thanks to a goals from former Barcelona midfielder Deco and striker, Fred.
