River Plate, heavyweights of Argentine football, overcame fierce rivals Boca Juniors in the semi-final to defend their crown at the Estadio Monumental in Peru's capital city of Lima. Waiting for them are Brazilian side Flamengo, who boast two of the competition's top scorers in Gabriel Barbosa and Bruno Henrique.
It's the first time since 1988 that the tournament will be decided in a one-off game and in a neutral venue as the organisers look to market the competition to a global audience.

Cheers for the heads up, Salton. Will certainly watch that.
If it's half as good as the Madrid showdown between River and Boca, it'll be well worth it.

Oh good another 30 mins of extra time. Don't think the game has been anywhere as bad as the commentators have suggested.
There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody is wrong.

Yes the old 'rope a dope' trick that Utd pulled on Bayern that night will never be forgotten.
