-River Plate reject Libertadores final in Madrid

River Plate has rejected the decision to play the second leg of the postponed Copa Libertadores final against their neighbours and bitter rivals Boca Juniors in Madrid.

"River Plate rejects the change of venue," the club said in a statement on Saturday.

"The club understands that the decision (to play in Madrid)... adversely affects those who bought tickets and also upsets the idea of equal conditions by taking away the home advantage."
