La finalísima

Grêmio won in Lanús’s stadium, obtaining the Copa Libertadores for the third time. Interestingly, Grêmio’s manager became only the first Brazilian to have won the tournament as a manager and as a player.

Here you can watch the highlights. All the goals are very good. Just before Grêmio’s second goal, you can hear the announcer saying that it’s a golazo, even though the ball carrier still needs to shoot past the goalkeeper.

Grêmio dominated in both games, last night and last week. After the series, Lanús’s players all wept. Barcelona would have had a good chance of obtaining the championship against Lanús. Barcelonistas will forever rue having lost to Grêmio in the semifinal.
