"The legendary Superclasico event is seen to have dimmed, according to Solari; his ambivalent sentiments regarding the Libertadores final"

Santiago Solari, the head coach of Real Madrid, has acknowledged a loss of interest in the upcoming Copa Libertadores final, as the highly anticipated match between River Plate and Boca Juniors has been moved to the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.

The decision to relocate the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final was made by CONMEBOL, the South American football confederation, following a series of violent incidents involving River supporters that led to the abandonment of the original fixture at El Monumental in Buenos Aires.

Solari, who began his professional career with River Plate, finds it a real shame that the Copa Libertadores final has been moved and that it has broken many hearts. He hopes that the final at the Santiago Bernabeu can try to wash away what happened and act to salvage the reputation of a celebrated fixture.

However, Solari has not expressed any optimism about the outcome of the Copa Libertadores final. He stated that for him, this game has lost its magic in his heart. Despite this, he believes that the name of Real Madrid and the Santiago Bernabeu stadium can influence the behavior of the attendees.

Solari has expressed mixed emotions about the match being held in Madrid. On one hand, he hopes a stadium with history can close the chapter of this Copa Libertadores final, which has been complicated. On the other hand, he cannot stop thinking about why the match has been brought to Madrid and has to be played an ocean away from Buenos Aires.

Both River Plate and Boca Juniors have appealed the decision to move the match, but CONMEBOL has chosen Madrid as the alternative venue for the Copa Libertadores final, which will take place on December 9. Real Madrid are likely to meet the winners of the Copa Libertadores final in the final of the Club World Cup next month.

Solari has not specified who he will be rooting for in the Copa Libertadores final. However, he hopes that the people who come to the Santiago Bernabeu will be capable of behaving well. He believes that the final at the Santiago Bernabeu can help to clean the name of the final a bit and hopes that it can try to salvage the reputation of a celebrated fixture.
