Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Theresa May will be there later this week for the G20 Buenos Aires summit – the 13th meeting of the the Group of Twenty which kicks off on Friday.
City police were unable to protect the stars of Boca Juniors including former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez.
The team bus was attacked with missiles and tear gas by River Plate hooligans ahead of the second leg of the final.
Tevez was reportedly vomiting after being rushed off the bus and was filmed clutching his throat with suspected breathing problems as he made his way to the dressing room.
Two players including Boca captain Pablo Perez were taken to hospital with cuts and eye injuries after the attack on their team coach.
The match, due to be played at 8pm UK time on Saturday night, was put back 24 hours but there is no guarantee the game will be played.
Argentinian prosecutors are investigating claims that the violence was orchestrated by a notorious River Plate 'Barra Brava' fan linked to hooliganism.
Cash and 300 match tickets due to be sold on the black market were seized during a raid on his home.
Anibal Fernandez, a former government minister and close ally of ex-president Cristina Kirchner, described current president Mauricio Macri and the country’s Security Minister Patricia Bullrich as “idiots.”
He said: “They couldn’t look after the Boca Juniors bus properly and they want to protect the leaders of the world’s most important nations!
“Suspend the G20 summit you fools, you’ve still got time.”
Lawyer and politician Victoria Donda added: “The Security Minister can’t ensure the Boca Juniors squad reaches the Monumental stadium safely and she wants us to believe she’s capable of organising the G20 summit.”
Critics including well-known Argentinian actors and TV presenters took to Twitter to voice their disbelief about the lack of security.
Many retweeted the claims of Patricia Bullrich earlier this month which have now come back to haunt her.
She played down fears of chaos ahead of River-Boca clash by insisting: "We're going to have the G20 summit so the Boca River clashes seem pretty minor to that.
A veteran security consultant tweeted: "With all due respect, how can they organise and protect the G20 if they can't guarantee safety at a River-Boca football match."
Mauricio Macri, a former president of Boca Juniors, is due to hold bilateral meetings with Theresa May and Donald Trump during the G20 summit.
The British PM and her Argentinian counterpart will talk about the Falkland Islands.
