BUENOS AIRES, (Reuters) - - The decision to play the South American Copa Libertadores final between River Plate and Boca Juniors in Madrid should not signal the start of a new trend, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said on Saturday.

The Buenos Aires derby will be the first major continental final to be played outside its home region, leading to speculation that other domestic and international competitions could follow suit.
