Flamengo won the title of the Libertadores Cup and there are already two in the last four years. Brazilian football has taken five of the last six.
In honor of yesterday’s final, in 90min we have made a list of the last 10 winners of the tournament:
A great feat was achieved by Atlético Mineiro beating Olimpia (Paraguay), in a match in which they had to come back from 2-0 in the first leg. They ended up winning the lottery on penalties.
Great final disputed again between a Paraguayan team, Nacional, and San Lorenzo. The Argentines defeated them in the second match thanks to a goal from eleven meters by Néstor Ortigoza.
Simple championship the one of 2015 for River Plate that, after a tie in the Tigres field, they won with great solvency in the Monumental. 3-0 and the championship stayed at home.
This final was a big surprise. A Colombian team and an Ecuadorian team rose to the top of South American football in that final that faced Independiente del Valle and Atlético Nacional. The Colombians decided the final with that early goal in the second match by Miguel Angel Borja.
We start in 2017 with the first step for the recent Brazilian dominance. Gremio took the lead in the first leg and Lanús was not able to win at their stadium either. Comfortable victory for the cariocas.
One of the most exciting Copa Libertadores finals of all time. The first game was played in the Bombonera and neither team was able to take the duck to the water. The second leg, at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, was one of the most watched matches in history. River Plate ended up winning in extra time.
Another epic final just the following year. River Plate repeated the scenario, but this time they would have to face Flamengo. “Gabigol” turned the game around in the 89th and 92nd minute.
Late victory, close to the 100th minute for Palmeiras in the second final that was played in a single game. The duel was played at the Maracana stadium and the rival to defeat was Santos. Breno Lopes was in charge of dressing up as a hero.
Palmeiras revalidated title last year in an exciting final against Flamengo. It was in 95 when Deyverson opted for the clash on the side of those in green. “Gabigol” had tied the match in 72.
It was yesterday in the discount of the first half when, again, “Gabigol”, who has already scored in three finals of the Copa Libertadores, who decided the tournament on the side of Flamengo. Atlético paranaense tried but failed.
