The Argentine context is also keeping a close eye
While Estudiantes chases the final, the rest of the Argentine picture in the cups is also leaving strong takeaways. Boca is already at the center of the stage because its presence in the final of the Copa Sudamericana opened up a scenario that even impacts River's hopes when thinking about the Libertadores 2027.
In addition, ahead of that final, it was learned that the Estadio Metropolitano de Barranquilla was completely renovated to host the match between Boca and Atlético Mineiro, with work that began in January and an investment of more than USD 45 million.
Argentine football, once again, has several major stories across the continent. But tonight, all eyes in the Libertadores are on Estudiantes and their chance to advance in Brazil.
