Fans of Boca Juniors, that on Saturday will be measured with Fluminense for the Copa Libertadores title at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, They took over Copacabana beach this Thursday for a lively party, but They ended up being forcibly expelled by Brazilian fansas reported by the agency EFE.

The fans dressed in blue and gold, increasingly numerous in this Brazilian city, gathered on a stretch of the most famous of Rio de Janeiro’s beaches to cheer on the Xeneize team two days before the final, in a party with songs , choreography, provocations and flag waving. These acts did not please the Amazonian fans that became very violent in a fact that worries local authorities.

Some fans assured that among the injured Boca Juniors, There were allegedly medical bodies that did not want to help them because they were wearing the Argentine team shirt..

The Fan Fest prior to the Copa Libertadores final is ruined

In more information, it was learned that the violent incidents took place next to a beach kiosk owned by three Argentines, which would have been chosen by the Boca fans as a concentration point despite the fact that Conmebol installed a Fan Fest also in the Copacabana beach.

It should be noted that After these unfortunate events, CONMEBOL issued a statement repudiating the violent events that took place on the beaches of Copacabana, acts that stain football and the celebration of an event as important as the Copa Libertadores final.

Now the authorities are showing greater concern, since this Friday a flag-off by Boca Juniors fans is planned and almost 6,000 Argentines are expected to attend., so the surroundings of the Copacabana beaches must be reinforced in terms of security. Without a doubt, these events tarnish the football celebration and generate concern in what will be the grand final of the Copa Libertadores that will be played next Saturday at the Maracaná.
