Roberto Bonano
| Date of birth | 24 January 1970 |
| Place of birth | Rosario |
| Nationality | Argentine |
| Weight | 83 kg |
| Height | 1.85 m |
| Position | Goalkeeper |
Having failed to capture Italy's Francesco Toldo, Roberto became the first Argentinean to play for Barcelona when he moved to the Nou Camp in June 2001. His first season has been so impressive that he has already been nicknamed 'Saint Bonano' by the Barca fans. He made his debut for Rosario Central before moving on to River Plate four years later. He will compete with former River Plate colleague German Burgos for the Argentina gloves in the 2002 World Cup finals. A completely different character to the extrovert Burgos, Roberto is an athletic keeper with superb reflexes.
Appearances in World Cup Qualification: 9.
