Pablo Perez, captain of Boca Juniors, was one of the players who suffered the worst after the attack on his team's bus as he turned to River Place Stadium to play “Superclassico” in the Libertydore Cup final. The player suffered eye injury after falling into broken bus windows and is now passing through visits to specialized hospitals to recover from damage these days.

Today, leaving the hospital, he has been commenting for the first time on what happened at the stadium on Saturday and bringing the postponement for an indefinite game deadline that the whole world looked forward to. What happened is embarrassing. I have a wife and three daughters, the older one hugged me crying the moment I returned home. It can't be played in such environments, it shouldn't happen like this”.

I can't play in a stadium that doesn't guarantee me proper security. What would have happened if we had played and won? Who would have taken me out of "Monumental"? If people had gone mad before the match, imagine a little after it in case of defeat. They would've killed me. I won't play in a field where I could die”, it was the harsh words of Boca Juniors captain who even described COMEBOL's reaction that had initially asked Boca Juniors players to play the game.

I was in the hospital when Coach Skelotto called and asked me to return as soon as we were forced to play”, Perez reported.
