ALMOST 50,000 BOCA Juniors fans packed out the iconic Bombonera stadium on Thursday to watch the team’s final training session before Saturday’s eagerly-anticipated Copa Libertadores final.

Boca face their bitter rivals River Plate in the second leg of the South American club showpiece on Saturday evening with the tie finely poised at 2-2.

No away fans will be allowed in River’s home ground, El Monumental, for the Superclásico between the Buenos Aires giants.
