The world of football thrives on rivalries — the matchups that make fans’ hearts race and stadiums tremble. From El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, to PSG vs Marseille, Manchester United vs Liverpool, Inter vs Milan, Celtic vs Rangers, Al Ahly vs Zamalek, Galatasaray vs Fenerbahçe, and Chivas vs América — every corner of the globe has its sacred showdowns.

South America: a different fire

But South America? That’s a different level of passion. Down here, the rivalries burn hotter, the stakes feel higher, and the atmosphere? Absolutely electric.

Think Boca vs River. Flamengo vs Fluminense. Nacional vs Peñarol. Palmeiras vs Corinthians. Atlético Nacional vs Millonarios. These are not just games — they’re football earthquakes.

And when one of these rivalries collides on the grandest stage — for continental glory, an Intercontinental Cup ticket, and $18 million in prize money — it becomes something even greater. It becomes a Superclásico.

Welcome to the Final of the Copa Libertadores

Welcome to the Final of the Copa Libertadores.

This year, it’s a showdown for the ages: Palmeiras vs Flamengo, Verdão vs Mengão — the Superclásico Brasileiro. Two of the biggest clubs on the continent, two cities that define Brazil — São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro — and two powerhouses that have dominated the Copa Libertadores in recent years.

It’s history, pride, and footballing philosophy colliding under the South American night.

Palmeiras: structure and precision

Palmeiras arrive with depth, discipline, and a coach who has become a legend in his own right — Abel Ferreira, the longest-serving manager in Brazil. They bring balance, defensive steel, and an attack that strikes with surgical precision.

Flamengo: flair and fire

Flamengo, meanwhile, bring flair and fire. With Filipe Luís — the ex-Chelsea and Atlético Madrid maestro — now steering the ship, the Mengão blend experience, creativity, and the unpredictability of rising stars hungry for glory.

It’s structure versus style. Order versus improvisation. Green versus red-and-black. And all of it backed by two of the loudest, most passionate fanbases on Earth.

A rivalry decided by details

The last time they met in a Copa Libertadores final — Montevideo, 2021 — Palmeiras edged Flamengo 2–1 in a thriller. Across their 58 encounters, the record remains razor-tight: Flamengo 20 wins, Palmeiras 18, 20 draws. Practically inseparable.

Now, they meet again — this time in Lima, with history, pride, and continental supremacy on the line.

Get ready for 90 minutes (or maybe more) of pure South American drama.

Because this isn’t just another final.

This is more than a Clásico. This is a Superclásico!
