The legend of Buenos Aires, "Boca Juniors", Juan Roman Riquelme believes that the fierce owners of this club can surprise "Barcelona" in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The latter team made it to the tournament by defeating the UANL club from Mexico in the 2015 Copa Libertadores final.
"River Plate" is predicted to have a journey to the World Club Cup and until the decisive match, where they would likely face the UEFA Champions League-winning "Barca".
"Knowing how to play against 'Barcelona' is impossible," - Riquelme told TyC Sports.
"I can't imagine how 'River' should play, but Argentinians always perform very well in such matches."
"Can they win? Of course. It's just one game and everyone knows how intense it is."
For the players of "River", this is a unique opportunity. It will be a final that I will watch and definitely enjoy."
The Argentine club will clash with "TP Mazembe" from DR Congo or Hiroshima's "Sanfrecce" in the Club World Cup semifinal in Osaka. Meanwhile, "Barca" will face Mexico's "Club America" or "Guangzhou Evergrande".
