Guardiola hits out at Copa Libertadores final move to Santiago Bernabeu

The rearranged Copa Libertadores final should only be played in South America and not Spain regardless of the attack on Boca Juniors' bus by River Plate supporters last Saturday, according to Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola.

Boca travelled across Buenos Aires with the final all square at 2-2 after the first leg at La Bombonera, but their bus was showered with projectiles on the way to River's El Monumental stadium, with some smashing windows.

Eventually the vehicle arrived at the ground before Boca captain Pablo Perez and his team-mate Gonzalo Lamardo were taken to hospital for assessment , while other players appeared to have been affected by the use of pepper spray.
