Confirmed: the displaced final is played in Madrid – Sport

soccer The return leg of the Copa Libertadores final between Boca Juniors and River Plate will take place at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid on Sunday 9 December. That confirms the South American football federation, Conmebol.

The rival rally would have been held at El Monumental in Buenos Aires last weekend, but had to be postponed after supporters of Rivers attacked Boca's coach with stones and pepper spray.

Conmebol had previously announced that the match would not be disputed in Argentina because of the risks to safety, and has now chosen the Spanish capital as a venue.

Earlier, we had talked about Dubai and Miami as potential venues for the final.

Conmebol's disciplinary board also decided that River Plate would pay a $ 400,000 fine and that the team would play two games in front of empty stands.

The first meeting of the team between the finals ended 2-2. The winner of the tournament will play a place at the World Cup World Championships in the United Arab Emirates in December.
