Since 2019 that only Brazilian teams win the Copa Libertadores.
Twice Flamengo, twice Palmeiras, once Fluminense and another Botafogo, by the way, the first achievements of these two cariocas.
Four -time champion we have none.
Neither coincidence, nor by chance, the red-blacks and alviverdes are in the semifinals of the continental tournament.
Those who had the hardest opponent ended up having the less complicated passage, Palmeiras, which made 5-2 on the aggregate score, victories there and here on River Plate.
Flamengo depended on the penalties, and the redemption of goalkeeper Agustín Rossi, to eliminate the Estudiantes, well that failed both the goal suffered in Maracanã and in the levied in La Plata against his former club, but who took two demands from the lime brand to classify the cariocas after 2-2 on the aggregate scoreboard.
The duo who have been running Brazilian football in recent years, who even when not winning is always pointed out as a favorite, will have a hard life ahead.
Palmeiras for facing the altitude of 2,850 meters from Quito, more than the LDU, although, in any way, a team that deserves respect.
After all, he finished first in the group stage by overcoming Flamengo, and eliminated Botafogo, current champion, and São Paulo, a simulacrum of what was once in Libertadores, defeated 3-0 in two games.
Less bad than, the result of its impeccable campaign, Verdon will play the match back at home.
Flamengo will fit the giant Racing, and with the second game in Argentina.
We will have three weeks ahead to find out what conditions will be the teams, hope that without decisive lows, as would be, for example, in the case of São Paulo, those of Vitor Roque and Flaco López, one or the other, the two do not even think.
In this respect, and only in it, Flamengo runs less risks because he has a cast more capable of supplying any embezzlement, because, ball by ball, today, Palmeiras is better, besides facing the tournament with more wisdom and determination than the domestic rival-who can repeat the final four years ago, in Montevideo, when Andreas Pereira, today in Alviverde, left the centenary stadium as a red-black villain. It will be interesting a national final too.
We do not contain this in advance, however.
Discarding the final between LDU and Racing, rather than expressing a desire, takes on the air of temerity, of unobbable optimism in Libertadores.
Repudiation
Repudiation deserve the cynics and hypocritical who call “war against Hamas” the Holocaust in Palestine. Those who fight terrorism with more, and disproportionate, terror.
Repudiation deserves those who call representatives of the “Brazilian Jewish community” when numerous Jewish entities, such as Jews for democracy, to quote only one, also condemn the atrocities committed by the 21st century version that runs the state of Israel and, with each passing day, only sees the indignation of the civilized world.
Repudiation deserve those who close their eyes to genocide in Palestine and glue the beaten, and innocuous, label of anti -Semitic in those who denounce it as a crime against humanity.
Repudiation deserves those who match the methods to Hamas.
