All the global focus is on Champions League in Europe right now, and rightfully so, but let's not forget that the "other" champions' league, the Copa Libertadores, is getting underway with its group stages this month. While it doesn't carry the mystique or glamour clubs of the UEFA version, the Libertadores is a fine tournament, with very good teams with emerging talent destined for the brighter shores of Europe.

I will dive deeper into this tournament as it progresses through the group stages. So far, the only noteworthy result was River Plate losing to Peruvian club Universidad San Martin. That was a shocker.
