Santiago Bernabeu Reportedly Considered to Host Copa Libertadores Final 2nd Leg

Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium is reportedly being considered as a venue to host the second leg of the Copa Libertadores showdown between Argentinian rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors.

After the first leg between the two sides finished in a 2-2 draw at Boca's Bombonera stadium, the second leg was postponed following crowd trouble before the game at River's Monumental stadium. The match was put back until the next day before eventually being called off.

According to Joaquin Maroto of AS, after it was confirmed the match will now be played outside of Argentina, Real Madrid's home is a potential venue for the second part of the final, with the game scheduled to be played on December 8 or 9.
