The 'South American Champions League' was won by Pablo Escobar's old team

Atletico Nacional, the Colombian club from Medellin once funded by Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, is the champion of South America's version of the Champions League, the Copa Libertadores.

The talented and quick Colombian side won the Libertadores on Wednesday in front of their home fans in Medellin over surprise Independiente del Valle of Ecuador, winning the second leg 1-0 and earning the overall victory 2-1 on aggregate.
