November 10, 1996 is a date that is marked in the history of Boca. Juan Román Riquelme made his presentation as a player, in the 2-0 victory of Xeneize against Unión. The game was played in the Bombonera and on the 10th he displayed all his talent.
That day, he got the first applause from the fans and gave an assist. COn 18 years, those present at the stadium had the luxury of seeing the future top idol of the institution. A player who won everything and became an emblem.
Why do we say that he is the greatest idol? Because from that day against Unión, he fell in love with the people with his game and was a fundamental actor in the most glorious stage of the club.. Won three Cups Liberators and was one of the greatest figures in the Intercontinental against Real Madrid in Japan.
He knew how to be a player who got bigger in big games and appeared in the big finals. Brazil became the second courtyard of his house and was the figure every time he had to play there. How to forget his performance against Gremio, in the historic final of Libertadores in 2007.
Over time and faced with the difficulty of regaining new Liberators, the legend of RIquelme grew. All polls choose him as the highest representative in the history of the club and he is currently having the challenge of being the vice president.
Riquelme is synonymous with Boca and his football will remain engraved in the memory of the fans. 25 years have passed since his debut as a player and all generations will talk about what he did on the field of play. The years pass, but the legacy continues and today is a good day for everyone to enjoy and remember what the 10 did when it was his turn to play.
