Palmeiras, took part in the 1951 Copa Rio after winning the 1950 Campeonato Paulista which at the time was one of the biggest football competitions in the world, the idea of the competition was to gather together the reigning champions of the world's top football national leagues, in order to determine the world club champion. Along with Palmeiras several other clubs also participated such as, Vasco da Gama, Juventus, Austria Wien, Sporting CP, Nacional Montevideo, Red Star and Nice.

The Copa Rio Internacional was the first known club competition of intercontinental scope, including clubs from more than one continent, in its first edition (1951) it was officially called the Torneio Internacional de Clubes Campeões, and called the "Mundial de Clubes" and "Cup of Champions" by several Brazilian and other outside newspapers.[7][8]

The national football scene was one of sadness due to the loss of the 1950 World Cup title, at Maracanã, when it was decided to organize the International Club Tournament in the 1951 season, a competition that became popularly known as Copa Rio due to sponsoring reasons.

Ottorino Barassi, president of the Italian Football Federation and general secretary of FIFA, was appointed as the competition's mentor. According to reports at the time, he discussed the format with the Brazilian Sports Confederation and defined the participants.[9]

Palmeiras still had to face Juventus in a group stage match before advancing, in which the team lost in the tournament's biggest thrash, 4–0. Even with the incredible defeat against Juventus, the team defeated a strong Vasco da Gama team in Maracana 1-2 and then held a 0–0 tie on 15 July in order to qualify to the final of the Copa Rio. And in a shocking first leg, Palmeiras won Juventus 1–0 with a goal from Francisco Rodrigues.

Back to the international stage "Parmalat Era" (1990s)

In 1991, Palmeiras won the 1991 Copa Euro-America on its first edition. An intercontinental tournament between German and Brazilian teams. Having made more points than its rival, Corinthians who ended up being the runner-up of the competition.[17]

In 1993, Palmeiras after a 15-year hiatus from the Copa Libertadores,[18] Palmeiras won the 1993 Campeonato Brasileiro and reached the Libertadores, being eliminated in the group stage by rivals São Paulo. Then in 1995, Palmeiras reached the quarter-finals but were again eliminated by a Brazilian team this time being Gremio.

Once again in 1996, Palmeiras won the Copa Euro-America, this time on its second edition. During the competition, Palmeiras made one of the biggest wins of South American teams on European teams in history. Winning a strong Borussia Dortmund team 6–1. With a hat-trick from Rivaldo. The runner-ups this time was the Rio de Janeiro team, Flamengo.[19]

The debut champion (1998)

In 1998, Palmeiras was one of 20 teams debuting in the first edition of one of South America's biggest competitions, the Copa Mercosur. Palmeiras had a remarkable journey to victory in the 1998 Copa Mercosur. They began with an excellent group stage performance, winning all matches and advancing to the quarter-finals. In the quarterfinals, they faced Boca Juniors and secured a 4-2 aggregate victory. The semi-finals they faced Paraguayan giants, Olimpia. Winning them 3–0 on aggregate after crowd confusion in Paraguay. And in the final won Cruzeiro who were then the defending champions of the Libertadores.[20]

The 20 participants were divided into five groups of 4 teams, where each one faced their zone rivals under a double-round, round-trip league system. The teams in first place in each group and the three best seconds reached the quarterfinals, where the direct elimination system came into play. Up to and including the semifinals, with equal points, the team with the best goal difference obtained the classification; If the tie persisted, shots were taken from the penalty spot. In the final, if the two teams had the same number of points after the first two games, a tiebreaker match would be played to define the champion.

The first Libertadores (1999)

Qualified for the 1999 Libertadores after winning the 1998 Copa do Brasil, Palmeiras fell into Group 3 of the competition, along with Cerro Porteño and Olimpia, both from Paraguay, and arch-rivals Corinthians.[21]

Palestra Italia stadium where the second leg of the final against Deportivo Cali was held

Under the command of Luiz Felipe Scolari, Alviverde had difficulty qualifying, only managing to qualify in the last round after beating Cerro Porteño in a comeback victory at Palestra Itália.[22] Thus, they managed to gain 10 points, which were enough to advance to the stage in second place in their group. It was in one of the group stage games against Corinthians, in fact, that the then reserve Marcos took over the team's starting role after Velloso's injury, a position he would have until the end of the competition.[23]

Palmeiras faced a challenging road to the finals, defeating the defending champions Vasco da Gama in the round of 16 by 5–3 on aggregate, rival Corinthians in the quarterfinals on penalties, and 1996 Copa Libertadores winners River Plate in the semifinals by 3–1 on aggregate.[24][25]

Palmeiras' base team, in addition to goalkeeper Marcos, who replaced the injured archer Velloso in the group stage of the competition, was made up of full-backs Arce (right) and Júnior (left); by defenders Júnior Baiano and Roque Júnior; midfielders César Sampaio and Rogério; midfielders Alex and Zinho; and by attackers Paulo Nunes and Oséas. Strikers, Evair and Euller also played an important role in the victory, as well as defender Cléber and midfielder Galeano.

The 1999 Libertadores final indicated that there would be an unprecedented champion, as neither Palmeiras nor Deportivo Cali had won the tournament until then. The Palestrina team was runner-up in 1961 and 1968, while the Colombian team was runner-up in 1978. This was the first, and to this day only, time that Palmeiras and Deportivo Cali faced each other in the Libertadores.[26]

The final matches were against Colombian team Deportivo Cali, the 1978 Copa Libertadores runners up. In the first leg in Cali, Deportivo beat Palmeiras 1–0. In the second leg, at Estádio Palestra Itália, Palmeiras beat Deportivo 2–1 and won the competition in a penalty shootout.

In the quarter-finals of the tournament, Palmeiras eliminated arch-rivals compatriot Corinthians.[25] Both matches were held at the Morumbi Stadium and ended with a score of 2-0: in the first, Palmeiras won; in the second, from Corinthians. As a result, the decision went to penalties, with the team in green and white winning 4–2. A similar elimination would happen again in 2000, also after a penalty shootout (5-4) between the arch-rivals, but already in semifinal phase of the continental competition, which took Palmeiras to the decision.[27]

This was the first Libertadores title for the São Paulo team, which had previously, in 1961 and 1968, finished runner-up in the competition.

Intercontinental Cup (1999)

Lineup of the 1999 Intercontinental Cup

After Palmeiras' triumph in the Libertadores final, the team would face the Champions League winner, Manchester United.

Roy Keane's goal, in the 35th minute, came after a great play by Ryan Giggs on the left side. The Welshman reached the baseline, crossed high, Marcos left the goal badly, jumped to deflect the ball but didn't reach it, and the Irish midfielder arrived to touch the ball with his right foot into the back of the net and score.

After the goal, Manchester United saw Palmeiras play, pressure and often try to score an equalizer. Alex, who had already missed a chance at the beginning of the game, was the name in focus. Palmeiras pressed a lot and had great chances with Oséas, Asprilla and Alex. The number 10 also had a goal disallowed in a move that has been contested to this day by Palmeiras fans.[28][29]

Palmeiras had Alex as number 10, he was the team's great star. There were also important names such as Marcos, Arce, César Sampaio and Zinho, as well as Paulo Nunes and Asprilla – the later a reinforcement for the Intercontinental, who was not on the American champion team in the first half of the year. Led by Luiz Felipe Scolari, the team came into the contest strong. Palmeiras arrived strong, but they would have an opponent with prestige and strength on the other side.[24][30]

Manchester United came to the competition with almost the entire team complete, with the exception of goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, who left the club after winning the Champions League. The starter was Mark Bosnich and the Red Devils played with a full midfield, instead of the usual two attackers: Mark Bosnich; Gary Neville, Mikael Silvestre, Jaap Stam and Denis Irwin; Nicky Butt, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs; Dwight Yorke, who was normally a starter, was on the bench. Andy Cole was out injured. The coach, as he was for 26 years from 1986, was Alex Ferguson.[31][32]

2020s-present - "Abel" Era

Palmeiras' 2nd Libertadores trophy which the club won in 2020 against rival, Santos.
Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras coach in November 2021

Qualified directly for the group stage of the 2020 Libertadores after coming third in the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro, Palmeiras was drawn into group B, along with Bolívar, from Bolivia, Tigre, from Argentina, and an opponent that would be determined in the preliminary stages.[15] This opponent ended up becoming Guaraní, who beat Corinthians, then Palestino and qualified for the group stage.[16]

Still under the command of Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Palmeiras secured the best campaign in the group stage by reaching 16 points, winning five matches and drawing one. This meant that Palmeiras would have control of the field for the second leg of all the knockout stages before the final.[17][18]

In the knockout stage of the competition, Palmeiras faced Delfín in the round of 16. In the first match, they beat the Ecuadorian club 3–1, and in the return match, at Allianz Parque, they thrashed 5–0, guaranteeing their place in the quarterfinals.[19][20]

In the quarterfinals, under the command of new coach Abel Ferreira, Alviverde faced the Paraguayan club Libertad, who beat the Bolivian club Jorge Wilstermann in the round of 16.[27] In the first match, the two teams drew 1–1 in Paraguay, and Alviverde won 3–0 at Allianz Parque to guarantee their presence in another semi-final of the competition.

After winning River Plate in a dreadful semi-final Palmeiras qualified for the final of the Libertadores against rival, Santos. This being the fifth Libertadores decision for both.[5] Palmeiras won the title in 1999, and came second in 1961, 1968 and 2000, while Santos won the title in 1962, 1963 and 2011, being second in 2003.[6]

Furthermore, this was the fourth decision between two teams from the same country in the Libertadores, being the third dispute between Brazilians.[9] In 2005, the final was played by São Paulo and Athletico Paranaense, with the tricolor team becoming champions.[11] In 2006, São Paulo was again a finalist, this time against Internacional; The Colorado team achieved its first title in the competition. The other decision between teams from the same country was in Argentina, in 2018, in which River Plate won their fourth title against Boca Juniors.[12]

Considering all the finals between the two teams, Palmeiras had an advantage: they beat Alvinegro in the finals of the 1959 Campeonato Paulista and the 2015 Copa do Brasil, while Santos won the 2015 Campeonato Paulista over Alviverde. Interestingly, before the match, the last five disputes in knockout tournaments between the two teams were resolved on penalties, with three Santos victories and two Palestrina victories.[10]

This was the first time that the two best teams in the group stage reached the final. Counting the group stage and the knockout stages, Palmeiras had 29 points, and Santos, 27.[14]

On the coaching side, Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira was looking for his first title as a professional coach, while Cuca was looking for his second Libertadores title, after having won the tournament with Atlético Mineiro in 2013.[13]

In total the 2020 season, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, brought Palmeiras their second title in the Copa Libertadores da América, with a team led by Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira and with decisive players, such as Weverton, Gustavo Gómez, Viña, Raphael Veiga, Rony and Luiz Adriano, as well as revelations from the base, such as players Gabriel Menino, Danilo and Patrick de Paula. After the 2020 competition was delayed due to the disease that hit the planet, the semi-final stage and final were played in January of the following year. The team eliminated the favorite River Plate in the semi-finals and, in the single-game decision, played at the Maracanã Stadium, they defeated Santos, becoming champions with the best campaign in the competition. Palmeiras' second Libertadores title came 21 years after the 1999 victory. In addition to winning the Libertadores, the season marked the Alviverde triplice coroa, as the Campeonato Paulista and Copa do Brasil titles were also won, when the club arrived to the fourth championship.[33][34]

Still in November 2021, with the return of striker Dudu to the team and with full-back Piquerez and midfielder Gustavo Scarpa added to the winning base of the 2020 edition.

As they were the defending champions at the start of the tournament, Palmeiras qualified directly for the group stage of the Libertadores. It was drawn in group A, with Defensa y Justicia, from Argentina, Universitario, from Peru, and an opponent that would be defined after the preliminary stages.[28] That opponent turned out to be Independiente del Valle, from Ecuador.[29] Playing in the group stage, they qualified as leader, with fifteen points, obtaining five wins and one defeat.[30] They had the second best campaign in the group stage, behind only Atlético Mineiro, who had sixteen points.[31]

In the round of 16, in a draw, it was decided that Palmeiras would face Universidad Católica, from Chile, vice-leader of group F.[32] Two 1–0 victories guaranteed Alviverde's presence in the quarter-finals, where they would face São Paulo.[33] Choque-Rei had already happened several times in the history of the Libertadores, and the tricolor had never lost to the alviverde until then; in the elimination matches, he eliminated his rival three times.[34] In the first game, at Morumbi, there was a 1–1 draw.[35] On the way back, at Allianz Parque, Palmeiras won 3–0 and qualified for the semifinals of the tournament[36], where they would face Atlético Mineiro, who had eliminated River Plate on the other side of the bracket.[37] Because the Minas Gerais club had the best campaign during the tournament, the first game was in São Paulo; a 0–0 draw.[38] At the Mineirão, Alviverde managed a 1–1 draw, and, due to the away goals rule, won the right to compete in another Libertadores final in its history, the second in a row.[39]

Palmeiras won the 2021 Copa Libertadores da América, becoming three-time champions of the competition by defeating Flamengo in the final held in Montevideo, Uruguay. With the title, the São Paulo team became the best-performing Brazilian club in the history of the Libertadores, with a series of records ahead of compatriot clubs and the only team in history to have won the Copa Libertadores twice in the same year.[35][36]

Raphael Veiga scoring in the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup final

The following year, less than a month after losing the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup final to Chelsea and finishing runners-up in the world championship, Palmeiras won the unprecedented title of the 2022 Recopa Sudamericana, by defeating Athletico Paranaense, champion of the 2021 Copa Sudamericana, in a very final played at Allianz Parque, in the first international decision in the Big Green arena. Still in 2022, the "Alviverde" won the Brazilian Championship title for the 11th time.[40][37]
