The Big Ticket in Town

World Football

About this episode

World Football comes from Buenos Aires, ahead of the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between fierce rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate on Saturday. This is South America’s Champions League and, with the match currently tied at 2-2 on aggregate, it’s hard to over-hype what a contest this will be!

Mani Djazmi is joined by former Scotland winger Pat Nevin and ex-Nigeria international Peter Odemwingie - and World Cup winner with the USA, Heather O’Reilly, makes a brief appearance whilst she celebrates Thanksgiving in America. BBC Mundo correspondent Daniel Pardo tells us why the rivalry between Boca and River is about more than just football and we’ll hear from the Argentine brothers who will put family ties aside on Saturday as they cheer for different teams.

And the former AC Milan legend Clarence Seedorf tells Mani about being in charge of the men’s African champions, Cameroon, and why it's important to leave a legacy behind in football.
