Juan Román Riquelme
Juan Román Riquelme (; born 24 June 1978) is a retired Argentine professional footballer and current 2nd vice-president of Argentine Club Atlético Boca Juniors, where he is also responsible of the football department, including youth academy and women's sections. 

Playing as an midfielder in the classic "Enganche" role, he spent most of his career playing for Boca Juniors, where he won ten titles, including three Copa Libertadores de América and one Intercontinental Cup, where they defeated Real Madrid 2-1. In 2002 he was transferred to FC Barcelona, but his time at the club was short due to his fights with the team's coach, Louis Van Gaal. Román would end up signing at Villareal, where he would have his most important moments in Europe, achieving a third position in the league and reaching the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time in the history of the "S"ubmarino Amarillo". Finally, in 2007 he would return to Boca Juniors, where he would get the Copa Libertadores again, being the top scorer and MVP of the competition. In his third cycle with the "Xeneize"", he would win two more league titles and an Copa Argentina, and he would resign from the club twice; in 2012 after losing the final of the Copa Libertadores and in 2014 after the club president decided not to renew his contract. 

In the Argentina national team, Riquelme would be successful in the youth divisions, winning the 1997 South American U-20 Championship and the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship in Malaysia. He would debut with the senior team in 1997, and would play the 2006 and 2010 South American Qualifiers. His only participation in the World Cup would be in the 2006 edition in Germany. Then he would participate in the 2007 Copa América, where he would lose the final to Brazil. Then he would lead the U23 team as captain to obtain the gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. 

Riquelme was distinguished as Argentina's footballer of the year four times and South American footballer of the year in 2001, and was included in the South American Team of the Year six times. He was also among the nominees for the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2006 and 2007, and the Ballon d'Or in 2005 and 2007. He is considered by various journalists, players and coaches as one of the best Argentine players of all time, as well as one of the most outstanding midfielders of his position in history.
