The former Boca Juniors and Argentina star say the long-awaited final no longer has meaning after Saturday's buss attack

Boca Juniors legend Juan Roman Riquelme says the Copa Libertadores final has lost its meaning following Saturday's buss attack that saw the second leg postponed until Sunday.

The first leg finished in a 2-2 draw in Boca's Bombonera in a match that passed off relatively without incident, despite a 24-hour delay due to rain.

But the visiting squad were greeted by a hail of bottles and other missiles from River fans in the streets surrounding the stadium which shattered the glass of the club's coach as they made their way to the Monumental for Saturday's return leg.
