There has been yet another twist in the Copa Libertadores final saga, as River Plate have announced they will not travel to Madrid to face rivals Boca Juniors at the Santiago Bernabeu in the second leg.
As reported by Nicholas Mendola of NBC Sports, River Plate slammed the Argentinian football association in a press release for moving the fixture abroad: "The Argentine Football Association (AFA) can not and should not allow a handful of violent ones to impede the development of the Superclasico in our country."
The match was scheduled to be played at River Plate's Monumental stadium on November 24 but was postponed and then suspended after several Boca players were injured on the team bus during violence ahead of the game.
