The second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between Boca Juniors and River Plate has been moved more than 6,000 miles away to the Bernabeu in Madrid.
The Buenos Aires derby was postponed last weekend, following an attack on the Boca team bus by River Plate fans.
Boca players suffered cuts from the glass from broken windows and were also affected by the tear gas used by police to disperse the crowds.
The match will now take place on Sunday, 9 December (19:30 GMT).
The Copa Libertadores is the showpiece club competition in South America, equivalent to the Champions League in Europe.
Wow, very sad to see this has had to be moved again . I know @"Dust Bowl" has been complaining about this in the Chat Thread - and rightly so, because it's just embarrassing.
(Also, I'm wondering what Jarkko's IntFammers would think of the whole sorry situation ?)
