With the rise of viral networks and content, soccer debates began to have much more relevance, especially those that cross different generations. In this context, one of those that generated the most recent repercussions was Héctor “El Negro” Enrique.
In an interview for the show Sharap on the Gelatina streaming, they proposed a game to the world champion: talk as soon as he hears a better team than River in 1986.
At first, the former Millionaire player made no sound and at best he grimaced.
The Boca de Basile, the River de Gallardo 2015, the Pastoriza Independent, the Billiard Students, no team convinced him, not even the squad of the 1978 world champion Argentine National Team. Until the tipping point came: Argentina 1986. “That could be it. Great equipment,” he said
.
Although he continued to be asked about more teams (Toto Lorenzo's Boca, Guardiola's Barcelona, Luis Enrique's PSG, River de Gallardo 2018/19, Boca de Bianchi and the 2022 world champion Albiceleste), El Negro stood firm. Faced with his silence, he was consulted for a comparison between the team he joined in 1986 and that of Gallardo, and his answer was overwhelming: “Four in the first half
we do it”.
The historic River del 86
Razón does not lack Enrique to consider the millionaire team of 1986 among the most outstanding in history. In that season, the band, led by the legendary Héctor “Bambino” Veira, won a memorable triplet, winning the First Division 5 dates in advance, their first Copa Libertadores against América de Cali and also their first Intercontinental Cup by beating Steaua from Bucharest in Tokyo. These achievements made River one of the best, or the best, in the world that year.

As for their squad, the Núñez group had bright names everywhere in the field. In addition to El Negro, the 11th regular starter included: Norbeto “Beto” Alonso, Nery Pumpido, Antonio Alzamendi, Óscar Ruggeri, Juan Gilberto “El Búfalo” Funes, among others.
While on the bench, figures such as Sergio Goycochea, Néstor “Pipo” Gorosito, Pedro Troglio and Claudio Paul Caniggia appeared.
