This page details the records and statistics of the Copa Libertadores. The Copa
Libertadores is an international premier club tournament played annually by the top
football clubs of South America. It includes 3–5 teams from all ten CONMEBOL
members plus Mexico, whose clubs are sometimes invited as guests to the tournament.
It is now held from January to November and it consists of eight stages.

The data below does not include the 1948 South American Championship of Champions,
as it is not listed by CONMEBOL either as a Copa Libertadores edition or as an
official competition. It must be pointed out, however, that at least in the years
1996 and 1997, CONMEBOL entitled equal status to both the Copa Libertadores and the
1948 tournament, in that the 1948 champions (Vasco da Gama) were allowed to
participate in the Supercopa Libertadores, a CONMEBOL official competition that
allowed participation for former Libertadores champions only (for example, not
admitting participation for champions of other CONMEBOL official competitions, such
as the Copa CONMEBOL).

CONMEBOL club ranking
This ranking is used for seeding in the qualifying and group stage draws of the
Copa Libertadores, and is based on a club's performance in the last 10 years of the
Copa Libertadores, its historic performance in the competition, and its performance
in local championship tournaments.[2] Starting from 2021, the CONMEBOL ranking of
the Copa Libertadores was updated to also include Copa Sudamericana performances,
and thus was rebranded as the CONMEBOL Clubs Ranking.[3]

This list is current as of 9 December 2022.[4]

See also: Double (association football) and Treble (association football)
Only 2 clubs have the distinction of winning the Copa Libertadores, their national
league, and another domestic tournament in the same year/season, known colloquially
as the treble:[T 1]

Santos in 1962, having won the 1962 Copa Libertadores, the Taça Brasil and the
Campeonato Paulista. Santos also went on to win the Intercontinental Cup that same
year.

Other goalscoring records
The fastest goal ever scored in the tournament was by Alianza Lima's Félix Suárez,
who scored in 6 seconds against Santa Fe on 4 April 1976.[7][8]
The most goals scored by a single player in a match is six by Juan Carlos Sánchez,
in Club Blooming's 8–0 victory over Deportivo Italia on 7 April 1985, and Julián
Álvarez, in River Plate's 8-1 victory over Alianza Lima on 25 May 2022.
The youngest player to ever score in the tournament was Ângelo Gabriel, aged 16
years, 3 months and 16 days when he scored for Santos against San Lorenzo on 6
April 2021.[9]
Other records
Alejandro Bernal saw the fastest ever red card in a Libertadores match, being sent
off after 22 seconds for Atlético Nacional against Nacional on 11 March 2014.
Most finals victories
Francisco Sá is the only player to win the tournament six times; he won four titles
with Independiente (1972, 1973, 1974 and 1975) and two with Boca Juniors (1977 and
1978).
Most finals defeats
Antony de Ávila holds the unenviable record of appearing in five finals and losing
in all five; four during his time at América de Cali (1985, 1986, 1987 and 1996)
and one with Barcelona (1998).
Awards
From 1999 to 2007, Toyota, the main sponsor of the tournament, awarded the best
player of the finals. However, in 2008, the company decided to recognise the
manager, understanding that they are the main ones responsible for leading the
entire team towards victory, combining concepts of reading the game, training,
setting goals and strategy, until the final whistle.[10] The last Toyota award was
given to Renato Portaluppi in the 2017 edition.

Besides the Toyota Awards, from 2008 to 2012, Banco Santander was the main sponsor
of the tournament and elected the best player of the competition; the players
awarded were Joffre Guerrón in 2008,[11] Juan Sebastián Verón in 2009,[12] Giuliano
in 2010,[13] Neymar in 2011[14] and Emerson in 2012.[15]

Argentina River Plate vs. Boca Juniors in 2018
Brazil Palmeiras vs. Santos in 2020
Brazil Palmeiras vs. Flamengo in 2021
Brazil Flamengo vs. Athletico in 2022
Teams from Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela and Mexico have never won the tournament. Teams

Cities
The most successful city in the history of the Copa Libertadores is Buenos Aires,
which has seen a record five clubs win thirteen total titles.
Fifteen cities have hosted a trophy ceremony. São Paulo has hosted the highest
number of trophy ceremonies, with ten ceremonies held in three different stadiums.
Stadiums
As of the end of 2005, 121 stadiums have been used to host Copa Libertadores
matches. Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay has held the most with 352
matches.
Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile has hosted a record eight trophy ceremonies.
Three stadiums have hosted matches with attendances in excess of 100,000:
115,000 spectators saw Cruz Azul defeat River Plate 3–0 in a quarter-final match at
the Estadio Azteca in 2001.
106,853 spectators saw Cruzeiro defeat Sporting Cristal 1–0 in a finals match at

A record twenty-five stadiums in Brazil have been used to host matches.
In 1991, América de Cali and Atlético Nacional played five home matches at the
Miami Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, United States, after their home stadiums were
banned. This was the only time a stadium outside of South America or Mexico was
ever used until 2018.
In 2018, River Plate became champions after defeating Boca Juniors at the Santiago
Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, for the second leg of the finals. This happened because
of problems arranging a reschedule for the match, after crowd incidents before
match that was supposed to be played at River Plate's stadium, the Estadio
Monumental. This marked the only time a Copa Libertadores champion lifted the
trophy outside of the Americas, and the first time in Europe.
In 2019, Flamengo defeated River Plate and became the first champion in a single
match final; the Estadio Monumental in Lima held the match, after the final was
moved from Santiago.
