After confirming their classification for the Copa Libertadores decision, despite the 3-1 defeat to Peñarol-URU, Botafogo players and coaching staff were welcomed by dozens of fans this Thursday morning (31).
Disembarkation at Galeão Airport, in Rio de Janeiro, took place around 6:30 am (Brasília time) and coincided with the arrival of Atlético fans, opponents in the final scheduled for November 30, in Buenos Aires. Despite the provocations, there was no conflict between the fans.
The Atleticos began to return to Brazil after the goalless draw with River Plate, last Tuesday (29), which guaranteed Galo in the fight for the cup. A strike in the transport sector in the neighboring country resulted in all flights on Wednesday (30) being rescheduled.
During the arrival of the Rio club delegation at the airport, coach Artur Jorge was one of the most harassed by fans.
The Portuguese arrived at the club in April, led Alvinegro on 46 occasions and could end the season as champion of the most important club tournament in South America.
