How to watch Atletico Mineiro vs Botafogo: Copa Libertadores 2024 final

Just ten days after Botafogo and Atlético Mineiro met in the Brazilian domestic league. Both teams travel to Argentina to take part in the biggest game of the year in South American football: the 2024 Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores final.

Both teams defeated the favorites in the knockout round on the way to the final. Atlético Mineiro triumphed over San Lorenzo, reigning champions Fluminense and continental giants River Plate to reach the final. Botafogo, meanwhile, dispatched domestic title rivals Palmeiras, Sao Paulo and historic Uruguayan side Peñarol to make it to its first-ever Copa Libertadores final.

Both teams come into the game relatively healthy. Gabriel Milito gave his team a break in recent games as Atlético Mineiro doesn’t have much to offer domestically. Botafogo took a big step towards the league title with a big 3-1 win over Palmeiras last Tuesday. However, El Fogao paid a heavy price: central defender Bastos suffered an injury that will keep him out of the final.

When these two teams met on November 20, sparks flew as both teams had to be separated following a post-match altercation, further increasing the tension leading up to the final. Botafogo is aiming for the biggest success in its history, Atlético Mineiro wants to add a second Copa Libertadores trophy to its cabinet. Everything is set for a historic Copa Libertadores 2024 final.
