The Legacy

Ramón Díaz led River Plate through a dominant period following their 1996 Copa Libertadores success. Adidas supplied the gear while Quilmes appeared on the front. Enzo Francescoli and Ariel Ortega dictated the tempo, with Marcelo Gallardo providing the creative spark in midfield. Up top, Hernán Crespo continued to find the net before his departure to Parma. Success remained constant as the club maintained its domestic authority. The side relied on this specific group to secure back-to-back league titles, solidifying their reputation across South American football.
