Fans back Palmeiras, escort team bus to Allianz for Libertadores decider | OneFootball

The Palmeiras fans have been doing a great job supporting the team ahead of the final 90 minutes of the Copa Libertadores semifinal. On Thursday night, the fans formed the traditional green and white corridor to escort the team’s bus from the training center (CT) to Allianz Parque, which will host the second leg against LDU. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

Many fans gathered in front of the Football Academy, while others spread out along the route the bus would take to the stadium. The celebration featured large flags, green and white flares, and chants of encouragement such as “Palmeiras is the comeback team, Palmeiras is the team of love.”

Abel asked the fans to prepare for a “magical night”

After the goalless draw with Cruzeiro last Sunday, coach Abel Ferreira called on the fans to show up in force at Allianz Parque and create an atmosphere for the green and white team to stage a comeback. The coach promised a “magical night.”

Fans gathered in front of Allianz during the final training session

Palmeiras fans mobilized to request that the team’s final training session before the match be open to the public. However, concerned about not leaking any strategies, the club decided to keep the session closed to both fans and the press. The last training took place at the match venue itself, a routine the club has been following before all games at Allianz Parque.

As the bus left after training, the fans celebrated with flares and flagpoles. At local businesses and on the fences surrounding the bus entrance, fans called for grit from the players and showed confidence in the squad. Banners were hung with messages such as: “We believe in you,” “Comeback team,” and “Fight without stopping.”
