The final of the 2018 Copa Libertadores went down in history because of what happened with the second leg. Boca Juniors and River Plate met for the first time in a continental final. When the Xeneize team entered the Monumental in Buenos Aires, the security operation failed and the bus was attacked with stones and various objects. The match had to be postponed as the players were not able to play due to injuries sustained. Alejandro Domínguez, president of CONMEBOL , decided to move the final out of Argentina as security guarantees were not met. On November 29, the Santiago Bernabéu de Madrid was designated as the venue, being the first final to be played outside South American territory. River Plate won in overtime 3-1 and became champion for the fourth time in its history.
