Only two Brazilian teams remain in the 2025 Copa Conmebol South American! Atlético-MG and Fluminense have secured their spots in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, the Tricolor Carioca was the only Brazilian club to secure its spot directly in the round of 16.
Bahia, Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Grêmio, Vasco, and Vitória were eliminated, either in the group stage or in the round of 16 playoffs, and were left behind.
Yes. Grêmio and Cruzeiro had strong, “cup-fighter” squads and high expectations, but they failed to advance.
Corinthians also disappointed, both in the Libertadores and in the South American group stage.
And now? Atlético and Fluminense carry Brazil’s hopes in the tournament. The knockout stage promises to be exciting!
Galo faces Godoy Cruz, while the Tricolor das Laranjeiras takes on América de Cali.
