The 1984 Copa Libertadores de América finals was the final two-legged tie to determine the champion of the 1984 edition. It was contested by Argentine club Independiente and Brazilian club Grêmio. The first leg of the tie was played on 24 July at Estádio Olímpico Monumental with the second leg played on 27 July at Estadio Libertadores de América.[1]
Independiente won the series 1–0 on aggregate.[2][3]
Qualified teams
The finals were played over two legs; home and away. The team that accumulated the most points —two for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— after the two legs was to be crowned the champion. If the two teams were tied on points after the second leg, a playoff at a neutral venue would become the next tie-breaker. Goal difference was going to be used as a last resort.
