MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 1 -- A decision to play the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between River Plate and Boca Juniors in Madrid is "irreversible", the head of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said on Saturday.
The comments came just hours after River Plate rebuked an agreement to shift the match to Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Dec. 9.
The fixture between Argentina's biggest rivals was suspended on Nov. 24 after Boca's team bus was attacked with stones and bottles as it approached River's Monumental stadium in the northern districts of Buenos Aires.
Several Boca players were injured by broken glass while others - including former Argentina international forward Carlos Tevez - were affected by tear gas fired by police to disperse fans.
The match was rescheduled for the next day but was postponed again just hours before kickoff. The first leg at Boca's La Bombonera ended in a 2-2 draw.
"If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that the game is going to be played in Madrid, that's irreversible," CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez told reporters before the under-17 women's World Cup final in Montevideo.
Dominguez explained that he had personally called Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, requesting permission to play the match at the Bernabeu.
"I told him that I needed the response of a friend," Dominguez said, revealing that Perez had then asked for time to think about the proposal.
"Two minutes later he called me back and said that it's not only a good idea, but that the Bernabeu would be available for the match at no cost," Dominguez added.
Earlier, River had said the decision to move the match to Spain's capital was unfair on the club and its fans.
"River Plate reject the change of venue ... [it] adversely affects those who bought tickets and also upsets the idea of equal conditions by taking away home advantage," a River statement read.
