From the Brazil midfielder that both Liverpool and Arsenal are chasing to Fernando Diniz's potentially game-changing tactics, Saturday's Copa Libertadores final between Fluminense and Boca Juniors is must-see TV
From Fernando Diniz's potentially game-changing tactics to exciting Premier League transfer targets - the game at the Maracana is not to be missed
During his illustrious playing career, Romario was renowned for speaking his mind. Seemingly, nothing has changed since his subsequent move into the world of politics.the Brazil legend said, "Fluminense should be the team to take home the trophy. As for the Argentines, f*ck those sons of b*tches!" Fair to say that if Boca Juniors boss Jorge Almiron needed any inspiration for his pre-match team talk, Romario has unintentionally provided plenty.
But it's not as if Boca were short on motivation anyway. Winning this tournament always offers 'Eternal Glory', but another victory really would be special for the Buenos Aires outfit, as it would see them equal Independiente's long-standing record of Libertadores triumphs. For Fluminense and their players, though, this is also a shot at immortality, as the Rio de Janeiro-based outfit have never before lifted the trophy. Even more incredibly, they have a chance to do so in their own stadium - the mythical Maracana.
