Also representative of the size of River Plate and its compatriots, who are expected to watch another Brazilian final in the Libertadores (unless Peñarol performs a miracle tonight). In the case of El Millonario, with the cruelty of knowing that the match will take place at his home.
If Botafogo confirms its place, we will be facing the fourth Brazilian final in five years and the sixth Brazilian champion in six years. Sixth year in a row with a Brazilian champion.
Did you hear that? That sound in the background? These are the cries of despair from Conmebol and the Argentine Federation.
Atlético‘s dominance in the two clashes against River is quite symbolic, the personification of this dominance. Despite the prominence of Argentines Milito and Battaglia, Galo’s brilliance is Brazilian. Éverson, Arana, Paulinho, Hulk, Deyverson and company left their opponents completely stunned, inert, defenseless. Despite the beautiful party in the biggest stadium on the continent, there was not a moment of threat to Minas Gerais’ classification.
Economic disparity is, without a doubt, one of the main factors responsible for our hegemony. And it’s not going anywhere, with the expansion of SAFs here and the crisis experienced by the brothers.
Be that as it may, once again they will see the final on television. Without even the consolation of having come close, of having been close, without having a “drop of hope”, as Gallardo himself defined.
