The Legacy

Carlos Bilardo arrived as manager in 1996, marking the start of Nike's partnership with the club. Boca Juniors moved on from the darker years of the mid-nineties by bringing in high-profile talent. Diego Maradona returned to the club for a final stint, often lining up alongside Claudio Caniggia in the attack. Meanwhile, a young Juan Román Riquelme began to break into the first team, signaling a shift in the midfield dynamic. With Quilmes displayed on the front, this away kit witnessed the beginning of a changing of the guard at La Bombonera.

Key Moment

This jersey was worn during Diego Maradona's final stint with Boca Juniors, including his emotional final professional appearances before his retirement in 1997.
