Palmeiras just clinched a quarter‑final spot after a 0‑0 draw with Universitario. The Brazilian side held on for a 4‑0 aggregate win, thanks to solid defending and a calm performance from goalkeeper Weverton. Expect them to face either River Plate or Libertad next – both tough opponents.
Meanwhile, other clubs are feeling the pressure. Teams that rotated heavily in the first leg now need to find balance between fresh legs and keeping a rhythm. It’s a classic CONMEBOL challenge: travel miles, play on different surfaces, and still deliver results.
Stellenbosch FC showed they can punch above their weight by beating SuperSport United 2‑1 in the Betway Premiership. That win pushed them back into third place and keeps their continental dreams alive. It’s a reminder that South African clubs are also part of the CONMEBOL conversation when they compete in CAF events.
In Europe, Real Madrid’s recent 3‑0 victory over RB Salzburg at the Club World Cup shows how South American talent often ends up on bigger stages. Players from Brazil and Argentina are constantly scouted by European giants – a pipeline that shapes both continents.
Even in women's football, the CONMEBOL influence is growing. The Women's Super League match between Aston Villa Women and Chelsea Women drew attention because many South American players now feature in top European leagues, raising the profile of women’s soccer back home.
