I already told and I repeat: as a boy was sorry for the children around the world on Santos x Botafogo.
Because none of them could see Pelé x Mané closely and had no TV transmission in the 1960s.
Later, as a journalist, he was pitying those who embraced the same craft in South America while facing Flamengo X Sao Paulo, Zico X Mário Sérgio, in the 1980s.
Not long after, Zico went to defend Udinese, who had just climbed to the Italian series.
Udine’s population was in Maracanã and the local club was richer than the most popular in Brazil three -time world champion…
Even so, I admit, gave less importance to the Italian Championship games that TV Bandeirantes broadcast, except when Milan played with his trio of Dutch Rijkaard, Gullit and Van Basten, as well as the Italians Baresi, Maldini and Ancelotti.
The clashes between the Patropi teams were enough and the world’s world titles proved it.
There are 13 years that no Brazilian team raises the World Cup.
Then, on a weekend that you have Flamengo x Bahia on Saturday night and Palmeiras x Sao Paulo, the Shock King of Paulistas, on Sunday, the Brazilian journalist wakes up much more interested in seeing El Clásico between Barcelona and Real Madrid. What a good envy!
Invariably the expectation is more than satisfied, is overcome, and again this happened.
Frankly, without the decisive result for the futures of Carlo Ancelotti and the Brazilian National Team to enter my consideration, in this pathetic soap opera starring CBF.
I wanted to see football and saw much more than I expected to see.
In 13 minutes, 2-0 for the meringues in the Catalan house.
In 33, 3 to 2 for the blaugranas.
End of the first half? 4 to 2 of the game? 4 to 3.
Counting, so coldly, with the numbers, even allows the rare reader and the rare reader to imagine two bad defenses in Montjuic – and it is not both perfect because they were far from it.
But Mbappé, with three goals, raphinha, with two, and Lamine Yamal, with one, and numerous magic passes and dribbles, as well as Pedri, Modric, gave a new epic football recital, noine outside the defenses of Courtois.
Football in pure state, without simulations, catimbas, wax, violence, exaggerated complaints with arbitration, only respect for the ball and the present fan, more than 50 thousand.
In the four classics of the 2024/25 season, Barcelona won everyone, scored 16 goals and conceded seven, which reveals problems in the Madrid defensive system, something unusual when it comes to Ancelotti who,, seems, turned the thread.
Jorge Jesus would be the best bet.
Now there are 105 wins at 104 for Madrid, with 52 draws, and Barça is two points of being Spanish champion for the 28th time, against 36 of the rival, seven points behind only three round.
Long live Barça!
And the king shock?
After 4 to 3 in Spain, 1-0 in Barueri.
With the traditional incredible difficulty that the attackers turn the chances they create into goal.
To say that the classic was bad would be unfair – and the Palmeirense victory was not deserved to be a lie.
But only in the additions Vitor Roque put in the ball that burned on the finishers’ feet.
It cost.
