Boca still promises to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to be declared champion of Libertadores
without the second game, alleging that River Plate was the main person responsible for the attacks on the team coach and requesting the elimination of the rival.
It should be noted that the xeneize council had received the same request before the Disciplinary Tribunal was dismissed, Conmebol only fined River and punished the club with two defenseless games in the next edition of the South American competition.
River Plate feels hurt at being unable to participate in the second game of the final with his Fans of Boca Juniors and River Plate
In other words, since the two Argentinean teams still intend to appeal, it is quite possible that the December 9th match does not occur. and the case is dragged for several days or even weeks.
The fact is that next month the dispute of the world club
FIFA in the United Arab Emirates and South America would have no representative to enter the field on 18 in the semi-final of the competition .
And what does the Conmebol regulation say in this case?
According to article 14 of chapter 2, "if the champion club of Libertadores abstains from participating in the Club World Cup or the Recopa or possibly the Intercontinental Cup, will be replaced by Conmebol by the finalist or, failing that, by the next best team in the general clbadification of the said liberators.

As we would have neither champion nor vice, even if it is not because of both, but because of legal circumstances, the regulation warns that the next best placed in the overall standings would go to the World Cup
. Gremio
and Palm trees
.
The rules of the competition do not specify if the general ranking of the Libertadores counts only the group stage or is added the points of the following phases, which are the quarterfinals, quarterfinals, semifinals and final.
Considering only the group stage, Palmeiras was the overall leader with 16 points. Gremio was 14 years old in his key.
However, if Conmebol considers the scoring and goals of the elimination phase with the group stage campaign, Grêmio surpbades Palmeiras. Both would finish with 26 points, but the gauchos would be ahead because they had a better balance of goals, 17, against 14.

Of course, all this is a hypothesis on the part of liberators
, who does not say much about his representative at the end of the world year. But with the difficult game that River Plate and Boca Juniors do to avoid playing the second game of the final, this can be considered.
