The 2017 campaign was a season of ultimate glory for Grêmio as the Tricolor Gaúcho, under the command of legendary manager Renato Portaluppi, conquered their third Copa Libertadores title, defeating Lanús in the Final. This continental triumph, which also saw them finish as FIFA Club World Cup Runners-up, was achieved alongside a crucial 4th-place finish in the Série A. Though Fernandinho's 9 league goals were vital, the season was defined by the stunning form of Luan, who was named the tournament's best player and scored a spectacular goal in the final, culminating in an unforgettable year that remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
