Students, champion of the Copa Libertadores

Congratulations to The Lion, the new champion of the Libertadores! Despite the deadlock zero in the first leg, Estudiantes de La Plata won the comeback and beat 2 to 1 to Cruzeiro in Belo Horizonte. Despite the Argentine domain, Henrique (51 ') to the Brazilian team stepped forward, but the flip came from the spoils of Gastón "La Gata" Fernández (56') and Mauro Boselli ('72). With five minutes left, Thiago Ribeiro put emotion to be sent crashing into the crossbar, but the local goal did not fall.

Special mention should Juan Sebastián Verón, a great player from head to toe who, true to his custom, he carried the team on his shoulder. Often maligned by the albiceleste, "The Brujita" never ceases to prove themselves to defend the colors of your heart.

Congratulations to the fans, and in general, Argentine football, with this victory shows that the hegemony of their clubs at the continental level. The next challenge will be in the Lion's Club World Cup, where he will share the bill with Barcelona, the Atlantic and Auckland City.
