The return leg of the Copa Libertadores final will take place on December 9 at 15:30 (Venezuelan time) at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium with the two fans, confirmed Alejandro Domínguez, President of Conmebol.

"It's the king of sports, we know it and we know it's only winning or losing and not killing or dying, we're taking a step forward," Dominguez, president of Conmebol, said in a statement. press conference.

The director thanks Pedro Sánchez, head of the Spanish government; Gianni Infantino, FIFA President; Aleksander Ceferín, President of UEFA; and "his friend" Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid.

"We have found in Spain the necessary neutrality sought by Conmebol, we believe that the connectivity that exists at the Madrid airport is important and that the Argentineans who live in Spain can live this experience," he explained. .

Dominguez said that with the transfer of the finals to Madrid, the goal was not to generate resources, but to create a fund to eradicate football violence in South America.

The final between River Plate and Boca Juniors was scheduled for Saturday, November 24th. A violent attack of zealots against the bus that took the players to the Monumental stadium of Núñez caused, in principle, the postponement of the match to Sunday.

Boca refused to play the final and asked Conmebol to be proclaimed champion, but the South American body rejected the request. During negotiations to find a solution, Conmebol decided last Tuesday that the game would be played outside of Argentina.
