In 1989, Atlético Nacional, from Medellin in Colombia, won the Copa Libertadores. They became the first Colombian team to win the tournament.

While some say Escobar threatened officials, others say these claims are untrue. This video includes commentary, from all those who were involved. The story we tell, is fascinating, complex and compelling.
