River defeated Nacional 2-0 at the Monumental this Thursday night, within the framework of the second date of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. And this victory was key because it left him not only as the sole leader of group H, but also allowed him to surpass Boca in the qualification for the 2025 Club Super World Cup. Thus, Millo was one step away from joining the 21 clubs -of the 32 participants- who already have their ticket for the first edition of the competition that distributes 2,000 million euros.
River occupies fifth position in the ranking that FIFA establishes for Conmebolalthough it is placed first taking into account those that are classified in this way, since Flamengo (1st), Palmeiras (2nd) and Fluminense (4th) They are already in because they are the last three champions of America and Atlético Mineiro (3rd) will not be able to go because more than two clubs from the same country are not allowed, unless they qualify as winners of the Cup.
Day by day, CARP accumulates 73 points since 2021, two more than Boca, which will not add in 2024 because only the Libertadores matches are counted. And the following five teams in the ranking are in this same situation: Athletico Paranaense (59), Olimpia (57), Inter de Porto Alegre (52), Vélez (49) and Racing (48).
Since the maximum score that can be added in this Cup is 52 units (nine have already been added), Nacional (46 units), Independiente del Valle (44), Cerro Porteño (43) and Barcelona (42) They could only surpass River by reaching the semi-finals by winning all the games, a chance that only the Uruguayan team maintains due to its victory on the first date against Libertad.
However, For River to qualify without depending on any other result, it would need to obtain 15 points (the 12 of the four remaining dates and three more to overcome the group stage), number with which he would leave Independiente del Valle behind, his second greatest pursuer (Since Millo is first in those who classify by ranking, the only ones who could complicate it are the Ecuadorians, given that Nacional, with more than 25 units, already competes with Boca, which has 71).
The giants who already have a guaranteed ticket…
Thus, with a victory against the Bolso, River would take a key step towards the MdC that already has the Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, PSG, Inter, Juventus, Benfica, Porto y Dortmundamong the most prestigious with passage to the US.
