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 boasts 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.

Diego Alves, there's a name I've not seen in a while. He looked an unbelievable talent at Almeria. Flashes of brilliance punctuated by injuries and Valencia self imploding. Shame really.

It's like watching a modern team vs a good team from 10 years ago. The strength in the challenge, the recovery time, the speed carrying the ball, the intensity of the pressing, the running off the ball, is all just so much better with River.

Flamengo have plenty of technique but their lack of intensity or physical presence means that everything needs to be executed so precisely it almost needs to be perfect.

And just as I was typing that, Flamengo finally thread a good ball through and Barbosa scores :D
