Following a key 3-0 Copa Libertadores win by San Lorenzo on Wednesday night, Boca Juniors icon Diego Maradona has targeted the club as a favorite to claim the crown.

With the chips down in their group finale, last season's domestic champs took Caracas to the woodshed.

"They have a good chance of winning the Copa," Maradona told Ole. "After starting badly, they have turned things around and they certainly have quality players."

"In addition, the team has got into the habit of winning."

The former Argentina star has never had a strong personal relationship with Saints coach Ramon Diaz, but claims no one can deny his excellence as a coach.

"Ramon has won so much that he cannot be questioned," asserted Maradona. "Anyone who discards him is an idiot and knows nothing about football."
