Antoine Griezmann pictured in Boca Juniors shirt at Copa Libertadores final

Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann has been photographed at the Copa Libertadores final wearing a Boca Juniors shirt.

The rescheduled second leg clash between Boca and River Plate is being held at the Santiago Bernabeu, home of Atletico's rivals Real Madrid, after the original game in Argentina was suspended because of crowd trouble.

World Cup winner was pictured in a box alongside Atletico teammate and Uruguay captain Diego Godin.

Griezmann's club manager Diego Simeone is also in attendance at the game, South America's equivalent of the Champions League final. Simeone won the Argentinian Primera Division whilst manager of River Plate in 2008.

Among the current Argentinian players also at the game are Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Juventus star Paulo Dybala.

However, Real Madrid’s players will not be in attendance, having played a La Liga match 350km away against Huesca earlier on Sunday afternoon.

The tie is currently balanced at 2-2 after the first leg at Boca’s La Bombonera.
