The Copa Libertadores is the pinnacle of South American club football, and this year the trophy will be going back to Brazil, but will it be in the hands of Atlético Mineiro or Botafogo?
Neither side is among the giants of the Copa Libertadores, with Mineiro having one title to their name, from 2013, and Botafogo yet to lift the trophy.
Botafogo, in fact, have never before reached the final of the competition, but they are matching their league-topping form in Brazil's Serie-A with a run that has seen them knock out Palmeiras, São Paulo, and Peñarol.
Mineiro, meanwhile, aren't doing quite so well in the league but have toppled the 2023 champions Fluminense and the Argentine giants River Plate en route to the final.

Watch Atlético Mineiro vs Botafogo for FREE on the BBC in the U.K.

Watch Atlético Mineiro vs Botafogo live streams from anywhere
If you’re overseas when the Copa Libertadores final kicks off, annoyingly your usual on-demand services won’t work. That’s because your IP address tells the broadcaster you’re in another country, and you’ll subsequently be blocked from tuning in – not ideal if you’ve already paid up for a subscription service you’re not able to use.
Thankfully there is another option that doesn’t involve resorting to one of those illegal feeds on Reddit. All you need is a VPN (Virtual Private Network), a handy piece of software which can make it look like your device is still back at home.
Assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to create a private connection between your device and choice and the internet, meaning the streamer can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is also entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, but FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar are big fans of NordVPN:
