Universidad de Chile would be the champion of the Apertura 2011 after defeating Universidad Católica in Santiago by 4-1, on Sunday, in a tied match that resulted in three red cards. With the title, Universidad de Chile reached its 14th trophy and assured the first Chilean spot to Copa Libertadores 2012. The Club was last awarded in 2009.
Nacional was proclaimed champion of the Uruguayan National League 2010-11 after defeating  Defensor Sporting  by 1-0 last Sunday, assuring, this way, its spot to the 2012 Copa Libertadores 2012 and Copa Sudamericana 2011.
