Description: Belo Horizonte is home to two major clubs: Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro. This city was the greatest in Brazilian football of 2014, due to Atlético Mineiro winning the Copa do Brasil and Recopa Sudamericana, and Cruzeiro winning the Campeonato Brasileiro and Campeonato Mineiro, BUT losing to Atlético Mineiro in the Copa do Brasil finals, and San Lorenzo de Almagro in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals, the farthest a Brazilian club went in the Copa Libertadores that year, due to the events at the World Cup (losing to Germany and Holland).
