Shortly after PSG’s victory in the Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo (1-1, 2-1 tab), Botafogo took the opportunity to recall another notable moment of its season. The Brazilian club published a video on its social networks showing the highlights of its victory against Paris Saint-Germain during the Club World Cup last July, notably highlighting Igor Jesus’ incredible goal. Qualified as “glorious retrospective”this publication was accompanied by other content celebrating the best moments of the season, providing a little nod to Flamengo and their loss against PSG.
Players who took part in Botafogo’s campaign also shared their memories on social media. Igor Jesus, Cuiabano and Jair Cunha published photos and extracts from the match, recalling the collective performance of their team. On the Flamengo side, the defeat on penalties against PSG will be marked by the exceptional performance of Matvey Safonov, who stopped four Brazilian attempts, offering the Parisians their first world title.
