The 1990 Copa Libertadores finals was the two-legged final to decide the winners of the
1990 Copa Libertadores, the 31st edition of the
Copa Libertadores, South America's premier international club
football tournament organised by
CONMEBOL.
Olimpia won the final 3–1 on aggregate for their second Copa Libertadores title. As winners, they earned the right to play against the winners of the
1989–90 European Cup, Italian club
Milan, in the
1990 Intercontinental Cup in
Tokyo, Japan. They also had earned the right to play against the winners of the
1990 Supercopa Libertadores in the
1991 Recopa Sudamericana. However, as Olimpia also went on to win the Supercopa Libertadores, they were automatically awarded the
Recopa Sudamericana title. Olimpia also automatically qualified for the knockout stage of the
1991 Copa Libertadores.
Format
The final was planned to be played on a home-and-away
two-legged basis. The team that accumulated the most points – two for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss – after the two legs was crowned champion. If the two teams had tied on points after the second leg,
extra time would not be played, and a
penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.
