Boca Juniors - River Plate Rivalry

The Boca Juniors - River Plate Rivalry is better known as the Superclásico. It is one of the highlights of South American football and if you have never been to one, you have to put it on your list of things to do.

Things couldn't be more different for the two teams at the moment. Boca won the Torneo Apertura while River Plate finished last. In the Torneo Clausura it did better finishing in 8th place while Boca was in 14th.


As is the case in Brazil, none of the quality Argentinean players are playing in Argentina. This is just the way it is. It doesn't diminish from the Superclásico though.
