This Saturday (22), Atlético-MG faces Lanús at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco in Paraguay, at 5:00 PM (Brasília time), in the final of the 2025 Conmebol Sudamericana Cup.
Galo finished second in Group H with nine points and eliminated Atlético Bucaramanga, Godoy Cruz, Bolívar, and Independiente del Valle to reach the final.
The Argentine team, which led Group G with 12 points, got past Central Córdoba, Fluminense, and Universidad de Chile.
Both teams are seeking their first-ever Sudamericana title, although the team from Minas Gerais won the Conmebol Cup in 1992, which was a “precursor” tournament to the Sudamericana.
Compared to the last match (2-0 loss to RB Bragantino in the Brasileirão), coach Jorge Sampaoli opted to start Junior Alonso and Alan Franco in place of Saravia and Fausto Vera, respectively, for Atlético-MG.
