The matches marked in red above are clásicos. If I’ve missed any, please mention them in the comments and I’ll update this post as and when. I do not yet know the exact dates of any particular matches. Nor do the AFA, because they haven’t decided on them yet. Please do not write to me this month asking whether River Plate vs Lanús is likely to be played on the Saturday or the Sunday of the final round, because I won’t be able to tell you.
