The South American Cup lives in 2024 a very special edition, considering that teams of the magnitude of Boca Juniors and Racing are present for Argentina in the second most important continental tournament at club level, while Athletico Paranaense, Internacional, Corinthians and Cruzeiro represented Brazilian football, among other participating teams.
In 2023, the champion was Liga de Quito (Ecuador), which earned its ticket to the group stage of the Libertadores, so the tournament will thus seek a new champion. How did the “Xeneize” fare in the history of this competition? Cruzeiro is coming up in the round of 16. We review it.
We all wanted to be in the Libertadores, but in Boca’s history there have been much worse things than playing in the Sudamericana for one year. We need to put on our candidate’s clothes and put together a competitive team to end the international drought. It’s a good opportunity. pic.twitter.com/Hix6mRvGkT
