Incredibly, around 50,000 arrived and packed the stands as the Boca players were put through their paces ahead of the Superclasico clash on Saturday.
The match is perfectly poised heading into the deciding second leg after a thrilling first match between the pair saw Boca twice come from behind to earn a 2-2 draw at home last weekend.
It means River Plate have the home advantage for the second leg, which takes place at their El Monumental stadium but, after the incredible send-off the Boca players received this week, they are sure to take to the field inspired by their own supporters.
