Cruzeiro's pursuit of Copa Libertadores qualification

Overview

Cruzeiro’s pursuit of direct qualification for the 2027 Copa Libertadores has seen significant fluctuations. Following a 4-2 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino in the 30th round, which left the club in 6th place, Cruzeiro prepared for a 28th-round clash against Vitória at the Barradão stadium. Heading into that fixture, Cruzeiro sought to bolster its defense with the return of center-back Jonathan Jesus from a leg injury, though midfielder Lucas Romero remained a doubt due to calf discomfort.

Cruzeiro later regained momentum with a 4-2 comeback victory against Grêmio, a result that returned the team to the top four of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. Kaio Jorge led the scoring with three goals, supported by a goal from João Marcelo. Following the win, captain Lucas Romero delivered a speech to the squad regarding the responsibility of the club’s jersey and the need for humility and effort during the season's final stages.

The club now faces a critical period consisting of four consecutive home matches in Belo Horizonte against Remo, Atlético-MG, Bahia, and Palmeiras as they continue their push for a Libertadores qualification spot.
