Libertadores was so much better years ago. Atmosphere was sick, but they've started to ban everything that made the atmosphere amazing. Flares, fireworks, smoke, etc etc.

Champions league has the money, better players, and the infrastructure. Copa Libertadores had the heart, the passion, more competitive(unpredictable), and it is where usually the top players on the world BORN.


Sorry guys, it’s been three years since I wrote that, I have change my opinion now
1.9k likes that’s impressive

People should respect Libertadores more here. Should at least be broadcast here in the UK

CHAMPIONS: BARCELONA, REAL MADRID, JUVENTUS, BAYERN MUNICH
LIBERTADORES: CUALQUIERA PUEDE GANAR

South America is such an amazing continent for football!! The fans passion for the beautiful game, knows no equals!! Their supporters are just incredible!! Viva Los Copa Libertadores!!

The two main differences between Copa Libertadores and Champions League are: the teams in the Libertadores are more levelled, meaning that most teams make the same investment in terms of money (Champions League has more money). As a result, the Libertadores is more competitive, it doesn't have the same winner every year like in the Champions League. The last reason is that Libertadores is love, war, passion, lifestyle; Champions League is tourists, theatre, one or two teams have the best roster, and one country (Spain) takes over. In my opinion, the Copa Libertadores is way better than the Champions League!

El mejor fútbol nace en sudamérica, y lo escribo en castellano pa no entrar en polémicas.
Algunas personas se olvidan que los "mejores" clubes de fútbol de otras partes del mundo no serían ni la mitad de lo que son si no fuera por los jugadores sudamericanos que tienen.

El fútbol fluye de forma distinta por éstos lados. es mas creativo, contagioso, mas entretenido de ver. acá hay magia y se refleja en éste deporte en particular.
Personalmente puedo disfrutar viendo fútbol de cualquier parte del mundo, pero prefiero mil veces ver la Libertadores, Sudamericana, etc.

The Copa Libertadores is like the gritty European football of the 90, but the Libertadores never went soft

A Libertadores é Muito mais emocionante do que a Champions

[theonewhoknocks]

The football in South America is so much more leveled than European football. Only 3 clubs can win Spanish League, 2 or 3 clubs can win Italian League, 5 or 6 clubs can win English League, only 1 can win German League, but here in Brazil there are at least 9 or 10 clubs that can really win Brazilian League.

Im my opinion this would be what what happended in europe if you took out the big clubs in europe and left clubs without plastic fans and helpfrom refs and uefa like celtic, sporting, anderlecht, schalke, galatasaray and smaller clubs the athmosphere would be insane
And there could so many surprises and so many unknown talents discovered

[richierich_broski]

I was so mad when I found out LigaMX wasn't going to be in libertadores anymore. I think I'm saying this for most LigaMX fans, I would much rather participate in Libertadores than in Concacaf champions league

[cesartse]

It's very rewarding for me, as a Brazilian, to watch a video like this, specially because it was made by an European. Obviously, it is hard for you guys - living in 1st world countries - to appreciate the Libertadores. But I think this is exactly what makes it so special for us. Lack of safety and infrastructure; unpredictability, altitude and the passion from the crowds.
I wish one day we could make it commercially attractive to tou guys, within losing its South American magic and tradition.

Cheers!

Es como comparar una mina linda natural a una plastificada

[alcidessamuel]

la libertadores tiene futbol al 100%, la champions league tiene dinero y marketing.

[RatedRMatt]

Champions league is boring now. Every year it's the same UEFA pet clubs that are super rich and all the plastic glory hunters claim to "support" even though they don't even live in the same country.

[hugdez]
