Player Info
Cristian Lema is an Argentine central defender currently marshaling the backline for Boca Juniors, combining physical power with improved technical quality. The 35-year-old, standing at 192cm, began his career at Argentinos Juniors before moving to Newell's Old Boys. His performances there earned him a transfer to Belgian side Gent, where he gained valuable European experience. Lema returned to Argentina with San Lorenzo before finding a home at Boca Juniors in 2023. At Boca, he has formed a formidable partnership, using his aerial strength in both boxes and his composure on the ball to initiate attacks from deep. A key moment was his goal in a Superclásico, endearing him to the Boca faithful. His honors include winning the Belgian Cup with Gent and the Argentine Primera División with Boca Juniors. While not yet a full international for Argentina, his consistent performances at one of the world's most demanding clubs have been noteworthy. Lema is a modern defender: strong in the tackle, dominant in the air, and increasingly comfortable in possession, making him a vital component for Boca.
