Brazil to match Argentina in Liberta titles, see the winners

The Argentinians will have to swallow a "setback" in the 2025 Libertadores!

Our Hermanos will no longer be the country with the most titles in the competition!

The winner of the final between Palmeiras and Flamengo, scheduled for 6 PM this Saturday at the Monumental Stadium in Lima, will secure Brazil its 25th victory, matching the Argentinians' record.

Despite the potential equality between the countries, Argentine clubs continue to dominate the list of the greatest champions: Independiente (7 titles), Boca Juniors (6), and River Plate (4) have contributed the most to maintaining the hegemony.

The winner of this Saturday's decision will also achieve an unprecedented feat in Brazilian football: it will be the first club in the country to win the Libertadores four times, joining the select group of four-time champions.

The Uruguayan club Peñarol, with five titles, is the only non-Argentinian among the top winners.

Whoever takes the trophy in 2025 will join River Plate and Estudiantes in the tier of teams with four trophies.

In total, 28 clubs from seven countries have already won the Libertadores. Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, and Ecuador also appear on the list, while Bolivia, Peru, and Venezuela remain without titles.

Recent Brazilian Hegemony

The Brazilian dominance began in 2019, when Flamengo broke a 38-year drought by winning the trophy for the second time in Lima. Since then, the title has not left the country:

• Flamengo (2022)

• Palmeiras (2020 and 2021)

• Fluminense (2023)

• Botafogo (2024)

If they win this Saturday, the team led by Filipe Luís will also secure the fourth consecutive title for a club from Rio de Janeiro.
