Twice champion of the Libertadores (1976 and 1997)

Twice champion of the Libertadores (1976 and 1997), Cruzeiro was twice defeated when deciding the World title. Irony: both by German teams. In 1976 it was Bayern; in 1997, Borussia Dortmund. 2003 was an enlightened year for Cruzeiro: in addition to the Brazilian title, Raposa won the Campeonato Mineiro and the Copa do Brasil. It was the year of the “triple crown”.
