The FIFA president questioned La Liga’s decision to hold a match in the United States, but called the proposed Madrid-hosted Superclasico a one-off
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has repeated his opposition to federations holding official matches outside of their home continent, though he defended the proposed Madrid-hosted Copa Libertadores final as an “exceptional situation.”
The second leg of the Superclasico between Boca Juniors and River Plate that made up the final was delayed and eventually postponed after River Plate fans attacked Boca’s team bus outside of the Millonarios’ home stadium.
Injuries to their players prompted Boca to demand the game be cancelled and Copa title be awarded to them, but while the game was postponed, CONMEBOL’s plan is to play it at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid.
