El Millonario defeated Deportivo Táchira 2-0 in their debut for Libetadores. It was just one point behind Xeneize in the Conmebol ranking ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup.

Boca still continues to lead the ranking but it would be practically impossible for River not to surpass it. Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense are already classified as the champions of the last three editions of the tournament. The champion of this edition will win a place, while the other two will be awarded by position in the CONMEBOL ranking.
