Copa Libertadores records and statistics

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. It is usually held from January to November.

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. Vasco da Gama were allowed to participate in the Supercopa Libertadores, a CONMEBOL official competition for former Libertadores champions (not admitting participation for champions of the Copa CONMEBOL).

### CONMEBOL club ranking

[edit]

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 16 December 2024.[4]

#### Other goalscoring records

[edit]

* 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.[8][9]
* 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 Endrick, aged 16 years and 322 days when he scored for Palmeiras against Barcelona on 7 June 2023.[10]
* The oldest player to ever score in the tournament was Zé Roberto, aged 42 years and 322 days when he scored for Palmeiras against Atlético Tucumán on 24 May 2017.[11]

### Other records

[edit]

* 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

[edit]

* 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

[edit]

* 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

[edit]

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.[12] 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,[13] Juan Sebastián Verón in 2009,[14] Giuliano in 2010,[15] Neymar in 2011[16] and Emerson in 2012.[17]

### Stadiums

[edit]

* 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 the Estadio Mineirão in 1997.

* 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.
