Galvão Bueno praised the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, this Sunday (12), in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. At the same time, the narrator reflected on the Brazilian football state championships.
The announcer took advantage of the Catalan team’s 5-2 defeat of the Madrid team to compare the attractiveness of a game like El Clasico and the matches played by Brazil this weekend.
Galvão Bueno did not mince his words when criticizing the organization of the start of the season in the country.
“The big game of the day was Barcelona’s 5-2 win over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final. In the Spanish Championship, they had already won 4-0 and at Madrid. This season, it is 9-2 for Barça. Cruel numbers. And, as in the previous defeat, Raphinha was the star of the game”, argued the narrator.
“So, with a game like this, how can you be interested in the start of the state championships, with big teams playing only with reserves and many of them doing pre-season abroad? Our start to the season is ridiculous and sad”, complained Galvão Bueno.
Barça won the cup. The winners’ goals came from Raphinha (two), Baldé, Lewandowski and Yamal, while Mbappé and Rodrygo scored for Real Madrid.
State Championships
State tournaments, such as Carioca, Baiano and Pernambucano, started this weekend. Flamengo, Botafogo, Fluminense, Vasco and Bahia were some of the teams that played with alternative lineups, prioritizing preparation for other competitions of the season.
The tone will be repeated in the Campeonato Mineiro, as Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG will be in pre-season in the United States during the first rounds.
