The Copa Libertadores knockouts are underway, with Fortaleza vs Velez Sarsfield providing our first Brazil-Argentina showdown. Having parted ways with Artur Jorge for rookie head coach Davide Ancelotti (son of Brazil boss Carlo), reigning champions Botafogo were always going to find things tough, but there's a real possibility they won't even make the quarter-finals.

The Brazilian and Conmebol champions lost two of their six group games, and have thus been handed a trickier draw than they would have liked, against Ecuador's Serie A champions LDU Quito.
Palmeiras are another side that might have experienced a drop-off, after Estevao left for Chelsea. They were the only team to go a perfect six-for-six in the group stage, but they're showing no signs of slowing down so far without their star man.
With Oscar and Lucas Moura, there are high hopes that Sao Paulo can capture la Copa for the first time in 20 years, while Danilo, Jorginho and Saul Niguez are spearheading Flamengo's charge.
