    Football fans that don’t watch the Libertadores are really missing out. The playoffs im particular have some amazing storylines

    Some facts about Libertadores:
    - The champion is qualified to play the Fifa Club World Cup, which, as this video said, it's a smaller tournament with all the Fifa continental champions, but for South Americans, this is the ultimate challenge a team can face it, it's more important than the Libertadores itself, as the South American club, to be crowned champion of the Fifa Club World Cup, it has to defeat the actual Uefa Champions League champion.
    - Because Brazil is the main country in the continent, historically, Conmebol has a rule that a Brazilian can't be the president of the Conmebol. It led to, historically, Conmebol having a prejudice against Brazilian teams, making arrangements to make the tournament harder for Brazilians, and easier to other countries (specially Argentina).
    Some examples of Conmebol bias: Look for the referee errors on 2000 edition finals (Boca juniors-ARG x Palmeiras-BRA), 2001 semi-finals (again, Boca Juniors-ARG x Palmeiras-BRA), 2013 edition (Boca Juniors-ARG x Corinthians-Bra on round of 16), in 2018, Santos-BRA, Boca Juniors-ARG and River Plate-ARG had used irregular players on some matches, Santos were disqualified, while Boca and River weren't punished, guess who made to the finals? Yes, Boca and River. There's lots more of stories like this, it's on the internet for anyone to watch.
    - The biggest winner is Independiente-ARG, with 7 titles. Next is Boca Juniors-ARG with 6 titles. Between the Brazilian clubs, the biggest winners are Palmeiras, São Paulo, Grêmio, Flamengo and Santos with 3 titles each.
    - Until the 90's, the tournament was brutal. The teams would play very violently, visitors were threatened by the local police, local supporters, etc. Brazilian teams hated to play the Libertadores, often sending their B-Teams. After São Paulo won both 1992 and 1993 tournaments, they started to brag about it in Brazil (they weren't the first Brazilian to won the tournament, but they're the first to make full of themselves for winning), which led other brazilian teams to start to focus more seriously to win the tournament. Before, the tournament weren't broadcasted in Brazil, but it started to popularize and drag everyones attention to the tournament. Today is considered in Brazil, the second more important tournament in the season, only behind the Fifa Club World Championship.
    - Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, have stadiums much above the sea-level (2500+ meters), teams from other countries always suffer a lot to play in these places, with players often having to go to the sidelines of the field to use oxygen masks. It makes the weak local teams even the gap against the visitors, it's not rare for a Bolivian or Peruvian team to beat an Argentine or Brazilian team. They tried to stop these games in high altitude, Fifa accepted the complaining by forbidden games above the height of 2500+, but Bolivian, Peruvian federations argued and Fifa gave up on forbidden games on this heights.
