Atlético owed much of its sporting rise at the end of the 1980s to the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar, who was born in the club's hometown of Medellín. During the 1980s, he built a massive drug empire. Escobar not only had a passion for violence and football, but the sport also provided him with the opportunity to launder millions in drug money. This combination of money laundering, drug trafficking, violence, and football led to the term "narco-football". Escobar managed to bring South American football stars to Colombia and ensured that national talents played for his favorite club. In 1989, Atlético Nacional became the first Colombian club to win the Copa Libertadores. The two-legged final was played against Club Olimpia from Paraguay. Olimpia won the first match 2-0, and Atlético Nacional won the second 2-0. Atlético Nacional ultimately triumphed in the penalty shootout, bringing the Copa Libertadores to Medellín. Famous players in the Atlético Nacional squad included goalkeeper René Higuita, Andrés Escobar, Luis Fajardo, Alexis García, and others.
