Club: Club Atlético River Plate

Season / Era: circa 1995–96

• Country: Argentina
• Stadium: Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti (commonly "El Monumental")
• Head coach / Manager: Ramón Díaz

Context and achievements around 1995–96:

• Ramón Díaz was in his first long successful spell as River Plate manager (initial period 1995–1999). He had already won the 1996 Primera División Apertura title with River Plate.
• During the mid-1990s River Plate were one of Argentina’s dominant clubs, featuring an attacking style under Díaz and blending experienced stars with emerging youth.

Key players (typical contributors in that mid‑90s River side):

• Enzo Francescoli – veteran playmaker and club legend (although his final spell ended in 1997)
• Hernán Crespo – young forward who emerged at River and would later move to Europe
• Marcelo Salas – another talented striker who played for River in the mid‑90s before moving abroad
• José “El Pipa” Borelli / Ariel Ortega – depending on exact dates, Ortega was a major creative force (joined River in 1997, but was linked to the era)
• Roberto “El Gato” Trotta, Américo Gallego (as a coach earlier), and other squad members rotated through the period; squads changed between Apertura and Clausura tournaments.

Competitions:

• Primera División (split Apertura and Clausura tournaments). River won the 1996 Apertura under Ramón Díaz.
• Copa Libertadores qualification and participation in continental competitions were priorities; River had continental success earlier (1986) and later (1996–2018 successes by the club overall).

Playing style: Ramón Díaz’s teams typically emphasized attacking football, with emphasis on strikers and creative midfielders. Set-piece strength and quick forward movement were characteristic.

Notable notes:

• Ramón Díaz is one of River Plate’s most successful managers; his 1990s tenure helped launch the careers of several Argentine stars who later became prominent in Europe and the national team.
• Exact squad lists vary by tournament (Apertura vs Clausura) and year; if a detailed roster, match results, formation diagrams, or statistics from the 1995–96 season are required, a specific request for squads, appearances, goals or match dates will allow a precise, sourced listing.
