"Botafogo can now party like it's 1959, when the likes of Garrincha, Zagallo, Didi and Nilton Santos were at their peak in the club's colours."
"Supporters had good cause to remember the phrase 'there are things that only happen to Botafogo' at the start of their Libertadores final, particularly after a quick red card turned the match on its head."
"The expectation was that the Botafogo front four would impose themselves on the game... and now it was a case of running, covering, sacrificing, weathering the storm..."
"The first title of any cycle is always the hardest, and it seemed like Botafogo was confronted by their demons in a match that became both gripping and heroic."
