Targets and recent continental form
Universitario’s primary aim is to reach the round of 16 again. The club wants to build on last season’s progress and push further.
In the previous Copa Libertadores run, Universitario advanced from a tough group. They overcame clubs including Independiente del Valle, Barcelona SC, and River Plate.
That campaign ended a 15-year wait to return to the knockout stages. The experience provided maturity and belief for the current squad.
The club from Ate also seeks revenge after a heavy elimination by Palmeiras. Consolidating an international presence remains a clear objective.
