Reigning Libertadores champion Botafogo are out in R16 after losing to LDU Quito of all teams. This must be a huge upset? @hoversaBR

Nah, absolutly normalm.

 

Brazilian teams use to struggle against Ecuatorian teams (Liga, Barcelona and Del Vale) and Botafogo this year is much worse than the last year's team.

 

I would say that Botafogo isnt a top 8 team in Brazil at this moment.

 

They spent MUCH money and made an average team.

Well, I realize Ecuador teams play at altitude which might be a problem but it's not like the best club teams are basically 60% of national team anymore? I think that used to be the case in 80s or 90s where some of these teams from lesser nations went deep in Libertadores? Like Sporting Cristal into the final or Olimpia Asuncion? Btw, I see River Plate barely won on penalties against another Asuncion team. Of course more Brazilian players leave for Europe these days as well.

 

But overall the QF are usual suspects, four teams from Argentina, three from Brazil and LDU Quito.

 

Maybe Colombian teams are struggling more than before? I recall America de Cali used to make a few finals but always lost one way or another.

It took only 50 years, but we can finally put a star in our jerseys 

 

After 49 years UEFA recognizes Slovakia as winner together with Czechia for their shared win as Czechoslovakia in 1976.

Marek Hamšík took part in the legends charity match 2025

Less nice is he received a familiar but somehow wrong flag in his jersey
