Summary

On this week's Across The Continent, we head over to South America for our main topic, as the finals for both the Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana are set.

In the Libertadores, Palmeiras and Estudiantes face off for the ultimate trophy, while Atlético Mineiro and Boca Juniors will battle for the Europa League-equivalent Sudamericana.

We discuss the recent history of the continental competitions, Brazil's dominance in the Liberatadores, and give our predictions for each final.

Then, Maxwell takes us over to Africa for a look at the initial stages of the CAF Champions League and Confederations Cup, highlighting a couple of major clubs that have already been eliminated – South Africa's Kaizer Chiefs FC and Zimbabwe's oddly-named Scottland FC.

Finally, David closes by examining the bottom-dwelling sides in Europe's top 5 clubs, including Le Havre and Málaga. Who's destined to be the worst of the worst this season?

Cheers to all the continents!
