Paredes and Merentiel joined Colapinto at the Road Show | OneFootball

Boca legends visited the driver from Pilar in the VIP area of Palermo. They exchanged jerseys, autographs, and highlighted Franco’s passion for the club from La Ribera.

During the Road Show to BA 2026, Leandro Paredes and Miguel Merentiel showed up to greet Franco Colapinto. The driver, a well-known Boca fan, received the footballers’ support on a historic day that brought together hundreds of thousands of people in the city’s streets.

“As Argentinians, we support everything that is good for the country. He’s a huge Boca fan, so the support goes both ways”, said Paredes, who noted that because of the European schedule he had never before been able to attend an exhibition of this kind. For his part, Merentiel, nicknamed “La Bestia” (“The Beast”), was impressed by Fangio’s Silver Arrow, which he described as a “beast” after seeing it lap the track.

Despite Colapinto’s passion for the Xeneize, the driver will not be able to go to La Bombonera on this visit, since he must travel immediately to the United States to compete in the Miami Grand Prix. The players took the chance to remind him of the recent Superclásico win, a result that Franco himself celebrated on social media a few days ago.
