Paredes and Merentiel joined Colapinto at the Road Show | OneFootball

Boca’s leading figures visited the driver from Pilar in Palermo’s VIP area. 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 were there to greet Franco Colapinto. The driver, a well-known Boca fan, received the players’ 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 calendar he had never before been able to attend an exhibition like this. For his part, “La Bestia” Merentiel was amazed by Fangio’s Silver Arrow, which he described as a “beast” after seeing it lap the track.

Despite Colapinto’s passion for 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 opportunity to remind him of the recent Superclásico victory, a result that Franco himself celebrated on his social media a few days ago.
