The 2018 Copa Libertadores finals was the two-legged final to decide the winners of the 2018 Copa Libertadores, the 59th edition of the Copa Libertadores, South America's premier international club football tournament organised by CONMEBOL.

The finals were contested in a two-legged home-and-away format between Argentine clubs Boca Juniors and River Plate, making it, as of 2025, the only Superclásico final of an international competition and the only time both Copa Libertadores finalists represented the same country other than Brazil. The first leg was hosted by Boca Juniors at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 11 November 2018, while the second leg took place outside South America at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain (a neutral venue) on 9 December 2018.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/las-finales-de-la-conmebol-libertadores-se-disputaran-el-10-y-24-de-noviembre|title=Las finales de la CONMEBOL Libertadores se disputarán el 10 y 24 de noviembre|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=1 November 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/confirmados-los-horarios-y-fechas-de-los-partidos-finales-de-la-conmebol-libertadores-2018|title=Confirmados los horarios y fechas de los partidos finales de la CONMEBOL Libertadores 2018|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=5 November 2018}} This was the last final to take place over two legs, as starting from 2019 the final would be played as a single match at a venue chosen in advance.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/la-conmebol-libertadores-se-definira-en-final-unica-partir-de-2019-con-mayores-beneficios-los-clubes|title=La CONMEBOL Libertadores se definirá en final única a partir de 2019 con mayores beneficios a los clubes y la competencia|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=23 February 2018}}{{cite web |title=Histórica decisión: Final Única de la Libertadores 2019 en Santiago y Final Única de la Sudamericana 2019 en Lima |url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/historica-decision-final-unica-de-la-libertadores-2019-en-santiago-y-final-unica-de-la-sudamericana |publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=14 August 2018}}

The second leg was originally to be hosted by River Plate at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 24 November 2018. However, due to safety concerns arising from an attack on the Boca Juniors team bus prior to the match, the second leg was moved outside of Argentina and South America, later confirmed to be the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain. This was the first time that the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final has been held outside of South America, and the first final held outside of the Americas.

River Plate won the final 5–3 on aggregate for their fourth Copa Libertadores title. As winners, they qualified as the CONMEBOL representative at the 2018 FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, entering in the semi-finals. They also earned the right to play against the winners of the 2018 Copa Sudamericana in the 2019 Recopa Sudamericana.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/sites/default/files/reglamento-conmebol-libertadores-2018-espanol.pdf|title=Reglamento CONMEBOL Libertadores 2018|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|language=es|access-date=31 October 2018|archive-date=16 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180516165759/http://www.conmebol.com/sites/default/files/reglamento-conmebol-libertadores-2018-espanol.pdf|url-status=dead}} River Plate also automatically qualified for the group stage of the 2019 Copa Libertadores.

For the third time, two teams from the same country faced each other in the final, after Brazilian teams met in the 2005 and 2006 finals.

The 2018 finals marked the first time that the Superclásico was contested in the Copa Libertadores final (or any final of an international competition), and the third time that the two clubs have met in a final, after the 1976 Nacional championship final and the 2017 Supercopa Argentina.{{cite news |date=1 November 2018 |title=Boca Juniors set up Copa Libertadores final Superclásico with rivals River Plate |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/nov/01/boca-juniors-set-up-copa-libertadores-final-superclasico-with-rivals-river-plate-football |work=The Guardian |access-date=1 November 2018}}

Their most recent meeting in the Copa Libertadores had been in the 2015 round of 16, where Boca Juniors were disqualified and the tie awarded to River Plate, after River Plate players were attacked in la Bombonera stadium with pepper spray by Boca Juniors fans as they emerged for the second half of the second leg, with River leading on aggregate 1–0.{{cite news |last1=McGuire |first1=Eoghan |title=Boca Juniors thrown out of Copa Libertadores after derby chaos |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2015/05/17/football/boca-river-ban/index.html |access-date=10 December 2018 |publisher=CNN |date=17 May 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/river-vs-boca-por-el-trono-de-america-y-la-gloria-eterna|title=River vs. Boca: por el trono de América y la Gloria Eterna|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=23 November 2018}}

Format

The final was to be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team (River Plate) hosting the second leg. The away goals rule was not applied, and extra time would be played if the aggregate score was tied after the second leg. If the aggregate score was still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would have been used to determine the winner. If extra time was played, a fourth substitution would have been allowed.

==Summary==

The first leg of the final was originally scheduled for 7 November, with the second leg on 28 November 2018 (both on Wednesdays).{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/el-consejo-aprueba-con-cuatro-meses-de-antelacion-calendario-de-disputa-de-la-libertadores-y|title=El Consejo aprueba con cuatro meses de antelación calendario de disputa de la Libertadores y Sudamericana 2018|language=es|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=27 September 2017}} However, after the finalists were known, CONMEBOL adjusted the dates, with the first leg (hosted by Boca Juniors, the lower seed) on 10 November and the second leg (hosted by River Plate, the higher seed) on 24 November (both Saturdays at 16:00 local time). The Argentine Football Association opposed the date change. Following discussion, the final was moved to 17:00 local time. The first leg was postponed less than two hours before kickoff due to Boca Junior's pitch at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando being waterlogged due to local flooding. The match was rescheduled for the following day, 11 November, with the kickoff moved to 16:00 local time.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2018/nov/11/boca-juniors-river-plate-copa-libertadores-final-first-leg-live |title =Boca Juniors and River Plate draw 2–2 in Copa Libertadores final first leg|date=11 November 2018|work=The Guardian|access-date=28 November 2018}}{{cite news |title=Rain postpones first leg of Copa Libertadores between Boca Juniors, River Plate |url=http://www.espn.co.uk/soccer/conmebol-copa-libertadores/story/3695557/conmebol-copa-libertadores-first-leg-between-river-plate-boca-juniors-suspended-due-to-rain |access-date=10 December 2018 |publisher=ESPN |date=10 November 2018}} The game was goalless until the 34th minute mark, when Ramón Ábila put Boca ahead, only for Lucas Pratto to equalise 90 seconds later.{{cite news |last1=Unwin |first1=Will |title=Boca Juniors and River Plate draw 2-2 in Copa Libertadores final first leg |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2018/nov/11/boca-juniors-river-plate-copa-libertadores-final-first-leg-live |access-date=10 December 2018 |work=The Guardian|date=11 November 2018}} Dario Benedetto then restored Boca's lead, to make the score 2–1 at half-time.

Multiple windows were broken by projectiles thrown from a crowd surrounding the bus, allowing pepper spray to enter the cabin. Several players were injured as a result of the broken glass and pepper spray, with the match delayed by one hour to 18:00 local time.{{cite magazine |last=Caron |first=Emily |url=https://www.si.com/soccer/2018/11/24/boca-juniors-bus-attacked-copa-libertadores-final-vs-river-plates |title=Boca Juniors Bus Attacked En Route to El Monumental for Copa Libertadores Final |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=24 November 2018 |access-date=24 November 2018}} Kickoff was later moved to 18:20 local time,{{cite news |url=https://redgol.cl/2018/11/la-frase-que-le-exploto-en-la-cara-al-arqu/ |title=La frase que le explotó en la cara al arquero de San Lorenzo en Temuco: "En Argentina eso no pasa" |trans-title=The phrase that exploded on the San Lorenzo goalkeeper's face in Temuco: "In Argentina that doesn't happen" |website=RedGol |date=24 November 2018 |access-date=24 November 2018 |language=es |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181124205313/https://redgol.cl/2018/11/la-frase-que-le-exploto-en-la-cara-al-arqu/ |archive-date=24 November 2018 }} and again to 19:15,{{cite news |url=http://ar.marca.com/claro/futbol/copa-libertadores/final/2018/11/24/5bf9a420ca4741a0108b4634.html |title=El presidente de Conmebol confirma que la Superfinal se jugará a las 19:15 |trans-title=The president of CONMEBOL confirms that the Superfinal will be played at 19:15 |website=Marca |date=24 November 2018 |access-date=24 November 2018 |language=es}} before once more being delayed until 19:30.{{cite news |last=Fripp |first=Nicolás |url=https://970universal.com/2018/11/24/peligra-la-superfinal/ |title=Se posterga la superfinal |trans-title=Superfinal postponed |website=970universal.com |date=24 November 2018 |access-date=24 November 2018 |language=es |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181124214259/https://970universal.com/2018/11/24/peligra-la-superfinal/ |archive-date=24 November 2018}} Following the delays, the match was rescheduled for the following day, 25 November, with the same kickoff, 17:00 local time.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46332084 |title=Boca Juniors v River Plate in Copa Libertadores final postponed after bus attack |website=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=24 November 2018 |access-date=24 November 2018}} Former Boca Juniors and River Plate striker Gabriel Batistuta called the attacks "shameful".

For security reasons, prior to the first leg, both clubs unanimously agreed to prohibit away fans from attending either match.{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.co.uk/soccer/conmebol-copa-libertadores/story/3690951/copa-libertadores-away-fans-banned-for-river-plate-boca-juniors-final|title=Copa Libertadores: Away fans banned for River Plate-Boca Juniors final|publisher=ESPN|date=5 November 2018|access-date=1 December 2018}} However, following the decision by CONMEBOL to move the second leg to Madrid, these plans were altered, with 5,000 tickets allocated to each club. Additionally, River Plate were reprimanded for the bus attack, fined $400,000, and ordered to play two games behind closed doors in the Estadio Monumental.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/nov/29/copa-libertadores-boca-juniors-river-plate-real-madrid-santiago-bernabeu-rescheduled|title=Postponed Copa Libertadores final to be played at Bernabéu in Madrid|author=Butler, Michael|newspaper=The Guardian|date=29 November 2018}} Real Madrid sold 25,000 tickets to fans of each team, as over 250,000 Argentines live and work in Spain, including the Real Madrid manager at the time, Santiago Solari, a former River Plate midfielder.{{cite news |last1=Martin |first1=Richard |title=Spain braces for hooligans ahead of South American 'Superclasico' |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-libertadores-riv-boj/spain-braces-for-hooligans-ahead-of-south-american-superclasico-idUKKBN1O61PH |access-date=9 December 2018 |work=Reuters News Service |agency=Reuters |publisher=Reuters |date=7 December 2018}} Real also agreed to sell tickets to their season ticket holders, which sold out quickly.{{cite web |title=Real Madrid club member tickets to the Copa Libertadores final have now sold out |url=https://www.realmadrid.com/en/news/2018/12/real-madrid-club-member-tickets-to-the-copa-libertadores-final-have-now-sold-out |website=Real Madrid |access-date=9 December 2018 |ref=RMD}} Security responsibilities for the second leg were delegated to the Spanish football federation, rather than CONMEBOL, with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez saying that plans were underway to have the "necessary deployments to ensure the event is secure".{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46392340|title=Copa Libertadores: River Plate v Boca Juniors moved to Bernabeu in Madrid|publisher=BBC|date=29 November 2018|access-date=1 December 2018|newspaper=BBC Sport}}

However, additional concerns were reputedly raised by both clubs following the decision to move the game to Madrid. Leonardo Ponzio, the River Plate captain, was allegedly involved in a match-fixing scandal during his time at Real Zaragoza,{{cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/spanish-la-liga-2017-18/ander-herrera-atletico-madrid-captain-gabi-among-players-facing-prison-sentence-for-alleged-match-fixing-5064290/|title=Ander Herrera, Atletico Madrid captain Gabi among players facing prison sentence for alleged match fixing|publisher=Indian Express via Associated Press|access-date=1 December 2018|date=2018-02-14}} and as such his eligibility to play football in Spain was unclear at the time.{{cite web|url=https://www.marca.com/claro-mx/futbol-internacional/copa-libertadores/final/2018/11/30/5c01737ce5fdea0c338b458a.html|title=Leonardo Ponzio, la preocupación de los abogados de River Plate|publisher=Marca|date=30 November 2018|language=es}} There were also reports that Boca Juniors intended to appeal the decision to relocate the second leg.{{cite web|url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Boca-juniors-refuse-de-jouer-la-finale-retour-de-la-copa-libertadores-a-madrid/963792|title=Boca Juniors refuses to play the final return of the Copa Libertadores in Madrid|publisher=L'Équipe|language=fr|date=30 November 2018}} In a subsequent press release, River Plate also announced an intent to protest the CONMEBOL decision to play in Madrid.{{cite web|url=http://www.cariverplate.com.ar/comunicado-de-prensa-1-12|title=Comunicado de prensa del 1 de diciembre de 2018|language=es|date=1 December 2018|publisher=CA River Plate}} Boca Juniors appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to have the second leg postponed, but was rejected, although the court would continue to consider whether River should be suspended.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46493291|title=Copa Libertadores final: Boca Juniors' bid to postpone match rejected by Cas|newspaper=BBC Sport|date=8 December 2018}}

==Summary==

The second leg finally went ahead in front of a crowd of approximately 72,000 in the Bernabéu. Most of the early opportunities fell to Boca, and finally Dario Benedetto, who had also scored in the first leg, scored in the 44th minute to give Boca a half-time lead.{{cite news |last1=Lowe |first1=Sid |title=River Plate claim Copa Libertadores against 10-man Boca |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/dec/09/copa-libertadores-final-river-plate-boca-juniors-match-report |access-date=10 December 2018 |work=The Guardian|date=9 December 2018}} In the second half, River Plate fought back and finally equalised after another first-leg scorer, Lucas Pratto, scored in the 68th minute. The match then went to extra time, during which Boca were reduced to 10 men after Wilmar Barrios was sent off. River Plate took advantage, with Juan Quintero putting them into the lead in the 109th minute. An injury to Fernando Gago in the 116th minute, left Boca to just 9 men having used all substitutions. In the final minute Leonardo Jara hit the post for Boca, only for River Plate to break upfield and make the final score 3–1, with Pity Martínez shooting into an empty net.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/river-plate-campeon|title=¡River Plate campeón!|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=9 December 2018}} "It's been almost 60 days since this started and there is tremendous sadness," said the Boca manager, Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
