 Brazilian teams continue to dominate South American football, with Botafogo and Atlético Mineiro set to face off in the Copa Libertadores final. The trend has been consistent for years, with Brazilian teams winning six consecutive titles in the competition. The Copa Sudamericana also features a Brazilian team, Cruzeiro, in its final against Racing Club of Argentina. Critics argue that Brazil's dominance is due to the country's larger economy and private investment in football clubs, making it difficult for other nations to compete.
