The Legacy

Boca Juniors finished 10th in the 1996 Torneo Apertura and ninth in the 1997 Torneo Clausura. This Nike home shirt arrived as the club integrated young talent with high-profile stars. Diego Maradona returned for his final stint with the club, lining up alongside Claudio Caniggia in a highly publicized attacking partnership. The season also saw the early professional development of Juan Román Riquelme, who began to feature regularly in the midfield. Quilmes served as the front sponsor throughout this period as the club looked to regain its standing in Argentine football.
