The 65th edition of CONMEBOL's Copa Libertadores is alreadt underway. The first week of matches left a few talking points for fans across the world, including the incapacity of Brazilian teams to win games and how teams from countries that are not necessarily considered favorites earned surprising wins last week.
To put everything in perspective, there were some groups that are now led by teams that have the reputation to play the tournament, but that were seen as underdogs to reach the next stage. Teams such as Colo-Colo, The Strongest, Junior, and Bolívar are now tasked with trying to build up on their wins from Matchday 1 and secure their spot in the KO stage in the remaining fixtures.
Meanwhile, clubs such as Sao Paulo, Botafogo, and Gremio need to change their strategies to avoid more defeats in the group stage. Others such as San Lorenzo, Fluminense, Flamengo, and Palmeiras managed to claim points in the first week, but fans are hoping to see more of their favorite clubs in the most relevant tournament in South America.
Before we go any further, let's have a look at how the groups look like after one week of action in the 2024 Copa Libertadores.
