The Buenos Aires giants will meet twice in the deciding tie of South America's most important club competition, making for an unmissable spectacle
It simply does not get bigger than this. Liverpool vs Manchester United? Real Madrid-Barcelona? Bayern-Dortmund? Milan-Inter? Each of Europe's most important grudge matches pales in comparison with the fraternal war River Plate and Boca Juniors are preparing to unleash on the Argentine capital Buenos Aires over the next fortnight, starting on Saturday.
The famous Superclasico is being played for the highest stakes in its history. River and Boca will meet in the final of the Copa Libertadores, South America's premier club competition, a two-legged decider that has paralysed an entire country even before a single ball has been kicked.
