The Argentine giants have boasted some of the nation's finest players over the years – but who makes the cut in their best-ever XI?
When you say Boca Juniors, you say Diego Armando Maradona.
But the Argentina legend is by no means the only high-profile name to have represented the Buenos Aires giants.
Boca are one of the most successful teams around in the South American game and they have always been an appealing destination for some of the region's greatest talents.
Of course, Maradona will always top that list, but how about Carlos Tevez? Or Roman Riquelme? Or Claudio Caniggia?
The list just goes on and on.
So putting together an ultimate Boca Juniors dream team is by no means a simple feat.
We have nonetheless given it a shot, though, and have opted for the following XI!
GK: Antonio Roma
Perhaps the most idolised number one in Boca history, Roma joined the Xeneixes from Ferro in 1960 and along with such legendary figures as Antonio Rattin and Silvio Marzolini was a fixture in one of the greatest sides ever to wear the blue and gold shirt in the 1960s.
Roma won five titles with Boca through the decade, and also represented a Boca dominated Argentina in the 1962 and 1966 World Cups.

‘El Negro’ is a true icon in the Bombonera, in which he played three separate spells between time in Europe with the likes of Porto, Monaco and Espanyol, and racked up over 200 games.
In his time at Boca Ibarra helped them to win every single major trophy possible, at domestic, continental and international level before finally retiring earlier in 2010 with a total of 15 championships earned in the Xeneixe colours.
After retirement he joined the club's backroom staff and is currently their interim coach following the dismissal of Sebastian Battaglia, extending an association which now spans the best part of three decades.
CB: Walter Samuel
Samuel's time at Boca was short but sweet, earning wide plaudits for his uncompromising play in the centre of defence and playing a major part in the all-conquering Xeneixe team of the turn of the century.
In just three years Samuel appeared in over 100 games, and lifted two domestic championships and a Copa Libertadores as Carlos Bianchi’s men proved to be almost unbeatable – and he followed that up by becoming one of the select few players to win both Libertadores and Champions League honours when his Inter team won out in 2010.
CB: Roberto Mouzo
Mouzo holds the record for most appearances for Boca, playing a total of 426 games in a 13-year career as the club's defensive linchpin.
The highlight of Mouzo’s long career was lifting the club’s first ever Copa Libertadores in 1977, followed by the club being crowned world champions in the same year beating Borussia Monchengladbach.
