Boca Juniors fans have arrived in Madrid ahead of the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final against River Plate on Sunday.
The Boca supporters were in jubilant mood and were seen banging drums and waving the club's flags.
The final was moved to Real Madrid's stadium, the Santiago Bernebeau, after Boca players were hurt when their coach was attacked by River fans as it approached the ground on November 24.
This resulted in the second leg being postponed and moved to Madrid.
The two sides drew 2-2 in the first leg on November 11 at Boca's ground La Bombonera.
Around 4,000 police, security guards and stewards will be on duty at the Bernabeu to ensure there is no trouble.
River will celebrate their victory at the city’s Puerta del Sol square which is traditionally the scene of the city’s New Year’s celebrations. If Boca win they will celebrate a mile down the road at the city’s Plaza Colon.
Boca say they should have been awarded the title - South America's equivalent of Europe's Champions League - as a result of the violent attack on their players.

They don’t need Messi or Ronaldo at the game. It has much more hype than a European game

I hope Messi and Ronaldo won't give an excuses like how they did in when the FIFA best men's player ceremony was started, but I hope they will come so that the stadium will be interesting and beautiful

football is a beautiful game.. a game is played outside their country and still they travelled to support their teams.. awesome.. just feeling bad for those good fans who lost their chance to watch it in argentina because there might be some fans now who wouldn't be able to afford and watch it here... we should be extremely furious to the ones who disrupted the order their in argentina.. wish boca wins the game.. some justice will be served... or is it a child's prayer.

I was traveling through Heathrow on Friday and caught four Rover fans and a Boca fan. It’s so surreal to watch, and fair play to them for going I guess.

If these ultras can't behave like responsible adults, they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football match.

Flying from Arg to Spain and then back to Arg must be brutal. Plenty of time for Maxi to reflect about life
