Lanús defeated Atlético Mineiro 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in the 2025 Copa Sudamericana final, played in Asunción, Paraguay. Goalkeeper Nahuel Losada was the star, saving three key penalties. This marks the club's second title in the continental tournament.
Atlético Mineiro's football director, Paulo Bracks, confirmed the Brazilian club's interest in 21-year-old Chilean midfielder Lucas Assadi, who shone in the 2025 season with Universidad de Chile. The team led by Jorge Sampaoli sees him as a promising reinforcement, though negotiations are ongoing. Assadi, meanwhile, avoids commenting and focuses on his current role at the blue club.
