The Clássico da Saudade (roughly translated as 'Derby of Nostalgia') is the Brazilian football derby between Palmeiras and Santos, both clubs from state of São Paulo. The match features the two most successful clubs in the history of Brazil's top division, with Palmeiras having won 12 league titles and Santos winning 8. It dates from back from 1916 and is considered one of the biggest and most important derbies in the State of São Paulo and in Brazil. It is the only Brazilian derby to take place in a Copa Libertadores final, in the 2020 edition, in which Palmeiras won the title.

CONMEBOL recognizes only one title, the Intercontinental Champions' Supercup.
