The long awaited second leg of the Copa Libertadores final for 2018 will now be played at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Spain today (Sunday December 9).
Kick-off time is set at 8.30pm local time in Madrid. So that's 7.30pm GMT, 2.30pm ET, 11.30am PT and 4.30pm in Buenos Aires.
Are you ready? Are you quite sure now? Because the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final is finally ready to take place. The Superclásico may be happening thousands of miles from Argentina, to the Santiago Bernabéu, but at least world football fans can watch the Boca Juniors vs River Plate grudge match via a Copa Libertadore live stream from anywhere in the world - and it's possible to do so absolutely FREE!
Boca Juniors vs River Plate is probably the world's most fiercely competed football derby. The two Buenos Airies-based clubs are bitter enemies. That's why the second leg of this Copa Libertadore final has had to be pushed back and moved from Argentina to an entirely different continent. The crowd trouble surrounding the previous two attempts meant that the fixture had to be postponed.
The first leg that ended in a tantalisingly poised 2-2 draw. Both teams (and their fans) are desperate to come out on top in this once in a lifetime fixture. It's the first time ever that two Argentinian teams have played in the Copa Libertadores final. Serious bragging rights are up for grabs with Boca Juniors looking to add to their six previous titles, while River Plate have had the taste of glory more recently in 2015.
