He reported the Argentine newspaper La Nación on Thursday. Later, this was confirmed by the American South American football Conmebol, who had decided earlier this week that the match was to be transferred to another country.

The first final match between the Argentinean cities rivalry is over 2-2. On Saturday, the return leg would be at River Plate's home in Buenos Aires, but was postponed after the local defender attacked the Boca Juniors' bus.

Boca Juniors is opposed to the decision to move the match to another country. The club claimed to win the win in the Champions League of South America, but this was denied by Conmebol.

Several of Boca's players were injured during scary events when windows were broken and pepper spray was sprayed onto the bus.

Several alternative battlegrounds have been discussed in recent days, but the match is over in Madrid. This means that the finals of the two world's luckiest tournaments in continental clubs will take place in the Spanish capital every six months.

The championship final will be played this season at Wanda Metropolitano, the stadium of Atlético Madrid, on 1 June. The final of the Copa Libertadores takes place on the course of Real Madrid, Santiago Bernabéu.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez doubled Thursday that the country was "ready to host the final".

"We have a lot of experience in organizing important football matches and we are already working on putting in place adequate security measures," he wrote.

The Spanish football federations and Real Madrid have been in favor of the plans.
