Flamengo and Palmeiras in final: Brazil match Argentina’s titles | OneFootball

The tie has arrived. After many years trailing Argentina in the number of Libertadores titles, Brazil will finally catch up to the Hermanos. With Flamengo and Palmeiras in the final of the 2025 edition, Brazilian clubs will reach 25 titles in the competition, the same number as the Argentinians.

Tied

Until 2009, Brazil struggled and was behind by nine titles (22 to 13 for the Argentinians). However, with the economic difference between the football of the two countries, the advantage of the Hermanos has been shrinking more and more.

Moreover, Brazilian football is currently experiencing total dominance in the Libertadores. In the last six editions (not counting 2025), the champion was a Brazilian club, with four finals between Brazilian teams, and this year's final being the fifth and the second consecutive all-Brazilian final.

Meanwhile, Argentina is struggling to maintain a competitive league and, consequently, is going through a drought in the Libertadores. The last title for an Argentine club was in 2018 with River Plate, and since then, the country has only reached the final twice: River Plate (2019) and Boca Juniors (2023).

The grand final of the 2025 Copa Libertadores will be on November 29. Flamengo and Palmeiras will compete for the first ever four-time championship by a Brazilian club at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru.
