The final of the Copa Libertadores involving Boca Juniors and River Plate will be in December but held outside of Argentina.
The South American federation CONMEBOL confirmed on Tuesday that the second leg final involving the two teams will be held on either December 8 or 9 but it won’t be held at the Monumental. There are rumors that the final could be held in Asuncion, Paraguay.
Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI has a plethora of talent at his disposal but which players should start?
The duo of Mauro ICARDI and Paulo DYBALA recently scored their first goals for Argentina while the like sof Lautaro MARTINEZ and Gio SIMEONE already managed to find the back of the net. Judging by the matches since SCALONI took over, which players would you like to see start for Argentina?
Would you go with a lone striker? Would you play two up front or go with an attacking three? Does Sergio AGUERO deserve to be back in the team?
Diego SIMEONE has been nominated for the Best Coach of the Year award.
The Atletico Madrid manager managed to win the Europa League with his team after crashing out in the group stages of the Champions League. Atletico finished second in La Liga behind Lionel MESSI’s FC Barcelona.
The nominees for the Best Coach of the Year #globesoccer Award are: Didier Deschamps, Diego Simeone, Jürgen Klopp, Massimiliano Allegri and Zinedine Zidane.
👉 Who do you think will lift the award?
