#2 Historic stories and violence
Although violence is never justified in any sport in the world, the fans of Boca Juniors and River Plate have seen the ugly side of football. Last time when these two teams met at 2015, the match was suspended because Boca Juniors fans directed pepper spray at the River Plate players. Even the sin pads are not enough for protection.
It is amazing how the Boca Juniors and River Plate fans add up to more than 70% of Argentina's population. The decision to ban away fans was not a shock since away fans were banned for five years in Argentina till August 2018. But the risk is too much for a final like this.
Even back in 2012, River Plate fans delayed the start of the second half by floating inflatable pig in front of Boca Juniors fans. The epic rivalry since its inception in 1913 has been a major talking point for the whole world due to the fierce nature of both these fanbases.
Radio Colonia reportedly will broadcast with calm and serene commentators for people with heart diseases. Football is treated more than just a sport, it is a religion in Argentina, and this monumental rivalry is just a testament to that fact.
