The 2025 Copa Libertadores final was the final match which decided the winner of the 2025 Copa Libertadores. This was the 66th edition of the Copa Libertadores, the top-tier South American continental club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

The match was played by Brazilian clubs Palmeiras and Flamengo on 29 November 2025 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru, in a rematch of the 2021 final.[2]

Flamengo won their fourth Copa Libertadores title and became the first Brazilian team to win four titles in the competition by defeating Palmeiras 1–0.[3][4] As winners of the 2025 Copa Libertadores, Flamengo qualified for the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and also earned the right to play against the winners of the 2025 Copa Sudamericana, Lanús, in the 2026 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2026 Copa Libertadores group stage.[citation needed]

Venue

[edit]
The Estadio Monumental in Lima hosted the final.

On 28 April 2025, Lima was announced as the host city for the final match of the 2025 Copa Libertadores at a stadium to be confirmed, following an application made by the Peruvian Football Federation.[5] The appointment was confirmed after a meeting between the president of CONMEBOL Alejandro Domínguez and the president of Peru Dina Boluarte, who stated that the Peruvian government would commit to providing the necessary guarantees for the event to take place.[6]

On 11 August 2025, CONMEBOL confirmed Estadio Monumental as the venue for the final match.[2] This was the fourth Copa Libertadores final played in the Peruvian capital and the second held at Estadio Monumental after the 2019 one, in which Brazilian club Flamengo defeated Argentine side River Plate.[7]

Format

[edit]

The final was played as a single match at a pre-selected venue, with the higher-seeded team designated as the "home" team for administrative purposes. If scores were level after full time, 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.[8]

Match

[edit]

Weverton, Lucas Evangelista and Paulinho (Palmeiras)[9] and Pedro (Flamengo)[10] missed the final due to injuries, as well as Gonzalo Plata (Flamengo),[11] who was ruled out due to suspension.

Summary

[edit]

In the 67th minute, Flamengo took the lead when Danilo scored the only goal of the game with a header to the left corner of the net after a corner from the right, took by Giorgian De Arascaeta.
