Its more or less like the UEFA cup or the old European Cup-Winners cup. The one comparable to Champions League is the Libertadores Cup, in which the winner will play with the european champeon, usually in Tokyo Japan.

No the South American "Champions League" is the "Copa de Libertadores", this would be the equivalent of the UEFA cup. But both teams especially Internacional are well known in the continent. Inter won the Libertadores cup in 2006. They later beat A.C Milan in December.
Here are the gols of the 2nd leg. Internacional's equalizer came in the 2nd period of extra time.
