Today the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semi-finals ended. After losing 0-3 in the first round, Palmeiras completed a 4-0 comeback in the second round and entered the final.

Palmeiras did not lose for the first time in this Copa Libertadores until the semi-finals. They won all the games in the group stage and advanced. Esteban, the team's striker in the group stage, has joined Chelsea this summer.

Esteban played 5 games in the Copa Libertadores group stage in the first half of the year, contributing 4 goals and 1 assist to the team. After Esteban left the team, the team's forwards Jose Lopez and Roque continued their strong firepower.

If Palmeiras can defeat Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores final and win the championship, Esteban should also be able to win a Copa Libertadores championship medal.
