River Plate vs Boca Juniors Live Stream: Watch the Copa Libertadores final online
The Copa Libertadores final second leg between River Plate and Boca Juniors will finally take place this weekend. Our guide will help you find a live stream online for the Superclasico between South America’s greatest football rivals.
Boca Juniors vs River Plate is among the biggest games in world football and, it’s fair to say, the two top clubs in Argentina, and their respective fans don’t like each other very much.
A hotly contested first leg in Boca’s famous La Bombonera stadium ended in a 2-2 draw leaving the tie finely poised. However, the second-leg was postponed twice in November following an attack by River Plate supporters on the Boca Juniors team bus.

As such, the game has been shifted to Spain due to safety concerns, something no-one is particularly happy about. However, the second leg is still taking place in one of the world’s great sporting cauldrons, the Santiago Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid.
