Alianza Lima faces a crucial moment in their Copa Libertadores 2025 journey as they prepare for their final group stage match against Club Libertad on May 27. Their hopes for advancing have dimmed after a 2-0 defeat against Talleres de Córdoba in their last outing, resulting in their elimination from the Libertadores tournament. However, there remains a potential opportunity for Alianza to continue competing in the Copa Sudamericana 2025.
The landscape of Group D has already been shaped, with Sao Paulo and Club Libertad securing their places in the knockout stages. The battle for the third spot is now between Alianza Lima and Talleres de Córdoba, both of whom are eyeing a place in the Sudamericana playoffs. For Alianza to keep their aspirations alive, they must achieve victory against the gumarelos, while also relying on Talleres’ inability to win against Sao Paulo at the same time.
This last group stage match promises to be intense, with fans holding out hope for Alianza Lima to pull off another international achievement, reminiscent of past victories against leading teams such as Nacional from Paraguay, Boca Juniors from Argentina, and Deportes Iquique from Chile.
As for the standings in Group D, it shows:
1. Sao Paulo – 12 points (+5 GD)
2. Club Libertad – 8 points (0 GD)
3. Alianza Lima – 7 points (-3 GD)
4. Talleres de Córdoba – 5 points (-2 GD)
Furthermore, the Conmebol has announced that the draw for the knockout rounds of both the Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana will take place on June 2 in Luque, Paraguay, appealing to supporters interested in tracking their teams’ potential next matches.
While the road ahead is challenging, Alianza Lima’s fans remain optimistic that their team can finish the tournament on a strong note and make a compelling case for a spot in the Sudamericana.
