Copa Libertadores: BBC to air South American club final

The 60th Copa Libertadores final between Flamengo and River Plate at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru will be aired on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on Saturday, 23 November from 19:45 GMT.

Defending champions River Plate overcame fellow Argentines and fierce rivals Boca Juniors in the last four.

Brazilian side Flamengo boast two of the tournament's top scorers in Gabriel Barbosa (7) and Bruno Henrique (5).

South America's top club competition began with 47 teams in January.

The winner of the Copa Libertadores final in Lima will qualify for the 2019 Fifa Club World Cup, alongside Champions League winners Liverpool, in Qatar.

Would love to see more of this sorta thing on terrestrial tv, now they're pretty much priced out of the CL/EPL.

Goddamnit.

Looked forward to this game but had to record it. Rather than starting at the beginning, it began at....the 92nd minute.

Enjoyed watching the South American game back in the early 2000's, when C4 showed Brazilian games weekly and C5 had rights to Argentina.
