Especially since River fans got onto the pitch during the first leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I don't know what's more shocking: 2,200 police working security or the fact that they seriously considered playing the game in an empty stadium to avoid this kind of thing from happening.

River Plate's museum was apparently also ransacked after the game. Looks like they should have done more than "seriously consider" playing it in an empty stadium and just done so...
