Hundreds of spectators escaped onto the pitch as police fired rubber bullets and tear gas into the stands at the Superclasico, played between Olimpia and Cerro Porteno.

Patricio Pacifico has made an instant impression with Barcelona Atletic after signing in the winter from Uruguayan club Defensor Sporting. The transfer does include an option to make the deal permanent and the Catalans have already decided to take that up.

The Argentina Football Association (AFA) scheduled the last-minute game after the official cancellation of the Finalissima.

Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni has reportedly come up with a detailed tactical plan in a bid to try and stop Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal in next month's Finalissima. Yamal's Spain are set to take on Argentina on March 27 at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar, as the reigning European champions face the South American champions. The game will see Yamal come up against Lionel Messi for the first time and promises to be an intriguing affair.
