Triple Crown of Brazilian Football
[1][2][3] In 1964, Santos won the Taça Brasil, which was the Brazilian national football championship contested from 1959 to 1968, the Campeonato Paulista and the Torneio Rio-São Paulo, a traditional Brazilian football competition contested between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro teams from 1933 to 1966, in 1993 and from 1997 to 2002.[1] In 2021, Atlético Mineiro became the second Brazilian team to win the most important Triple Crown in Brazilian football by winning the three main national championships of the season, the Campeonato Mineiro, the Copa do Brasil (with the presence of clubs participating in the Copa Libertadores of the same year, and from 2001 to 2012 it was not possible to play both in the same season) and the Campeonato Brasileiro.However, the team was unable to win the continental-level triple crown after being eliminated by Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores.In general, the Triple Crown does not require specific titles, so other Brazilian teams have also done the feat in history and won different championships.The following year, despite winning nothing statewide or nationally, the team won four international titles: in addition to the last two, the Supercopa Libertadores and the Recopa Sul-Americana.
