As evident, Boca Juniors facing River plate is one of the grandest sights in football. These are the two heavyweights among Argentinian clubs and a face-off is a huge chance for players to shine.

Both these teams have served as a massive step in the journey for many greats - Falcao and Carlos Tevez being the recent examples. Superstars and all-time greats such as Diego Maradona, Alfredo Di Stefano and the likes of Juan Roman Riquelme and Gabriel Batistuta went through the doors of these two teams.

There is not an inch of doubt about the significance of this match and more so, in a final. For players like Tevez and Gago would give their all for one last shot at glory, young guns such as Cristian Pavon and Gonzalo Martinez would like to make the world notice their performances and be at the centre stage.

Nine out of the last twelve fixtures have seen only one team putting the ball into the back in the net. It is more than just a match and surely, not an inch of grass would be given away easily.

Although the two teams are not as rich in quality as they used to be a decade ago, make no mistake, this would be a match worth remembering and an amazing experience for any football fan in the world.
