Copa Libertadores Final 2018: match preview pre-trouble
Describing this Copa Libertadores final second leg as 'much anticipated' gets nowhere close to doing it the justice it deserves. Millions of pages of text have been written; photogalleries have been created; videos and interviews have been shot; there has been a reproduction of the first encounter build in Lego form. Fans have even burned down their rival's homes. That's the level of passion we're talking about.
The first leg at La Bombonera ended on the knife edge that is 2-2, a game that we had to wait an extra day for due to the deluge of rain that fell in Buenos Aires. Goals from Ramon Abila and Dario Benedetto were cancelled out one by one by Lucas Pratto and and own goal from Carlos Izquierdoz. The stage is now set for El Monumental to decide what could likely prove generational rather than seasonal bragging rights. It's the Superclásico of all Superclásicos.
River Plate
Although the two away goals at the La Bombonera don't give River an advantage, playing the second leg knowing any win is enough was a satisfying outcome. They will hope to boss much of the play, and take their chances when they come, but will be without Ignacio Scocco and Rafael Borre.
In the first leg, Gallardo moved to a 5-3-2 formation and controlled the middle of the park against the 4-3-3 facing them during the early stages.
Boca Juniors
Boca's home stadium was filled with bodies (over 60,000) and atmosphere on Thursday evening that football clubs around the world could only dream of. And this was just a training session, or more appropriately, a send off to the fight that lies ahead. Their noise will not be heard in the stadium (home fans only!) but their spirit will.
Carlos Tevez is the biggest name internationally of the current squad and will be involved at some point, possibly even from the start. Likely to have fewer opportunities to score than their hosts, efficiency in front of goal will be key, and in Benedetto they have their potential hero in waiting.
