As well as the Libertadores, Santos lifted three consecutive state championships between 2010 and 2012 and also claimed the Copa do Brasil, making it the club s most successful spell since Pele took them to world fame in the 1960s.
The sky was the limit for their two biggest stars. Football, though, rarely plays out quite as one expects and Neymar and Ganso s diverged shortly after that Libertadores triumph.
Neymar went on to become a superstar at Barcelona and the world s most expensive ever player upon joining Paris Saint-Germain, while Ganso suffered repeated injuries and has spent most of his career in Brazil, with a short (and only occasionally successful) spells with Sevilla and Amiens his only taste of European football to date.
