Boca Juniors legend Diego Maradona has slammed CONMEBOL for the decision to move his former club's Copa Libertadores final against River Plate to Madrid.
Having drawn 2-2 in the first leg of one of the most hotly anticipated deciders in Libertadores history, the two Buenos Aires giants were unable to play the second leg in River's Monumental stadium.
An attack on Boca's bus with stones and bottles left two players needing treatment for eye injuries on November 24, a situation that led the game to be abandoned after hours of uncertainty.
A second attempt to play the following day also failed, with Boca subsequently launching a formal request to be awarded the Copa due to the violence suffered by their squad.
