The2014 Copa Libertadores de América (officially the2014 CopaBridgestone Libertadores for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 55th edition of theCopa Libertadores de América,South America's premier international clubfootball tournament organized byCONMEBOL.Atlético Mineiro were the defending champions, but were eliminated byAtlético Nacional in the round of 16.
In thefinals, Argentine teamSan Lorenzo defeated Paraguayan teamNacional 2–1 on aggregate to win their first title,[2] and earned the right to play in the2014 FIFA Club World Cup and the2015 Recopa Sudamericana.[3] The streak of four successive tournaments won by a Brazilian team was broken; in fact, none of the four semifinalists were from Brazil (first time since1991, and the first finals since2004 to not feature a Brazilian team) or had reached the final before.[4]
The draw of the tournament was held on December 12, 2013, inLuque,Paraguay.[17][18]
For the first stage, the 12 teams were drawn into six ties containing a team from Pot 1 and a team from Pot 2, with the former hosting the second leg. The seeding of each team was determined by which associations reached the furthest stage in the previous Copa Libertadores.[3]
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 |

For the second stage, the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four containing one team from each of the four seeding pots. The seeding of each team was determined by their association and qualifying berth (as per the rotational agreement established by CONMEBOL, the teams which qualified through berths 1 from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela were seeded into Pot 1 for odd-numbered years, while the teams which qualified through berths 1 from Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay were seeded into Pot 1 for even-numbered years).[3] Teams from the same association in Pots 1 and 2 could not be drawn into the same group. However, a first stage winner, whose identity was not known at the time of the draw, could be drawn into the same group with another team from the same association.
