Fluminense tease Botafogo after derby win: "Respect your father" | OneFootball

Fluminense was not content with just beating Botafogo 2-0, last Sunday, at Maracanã. After the victory with goals from Germán Cano and Lima, the Tricolor turned the rivalry into a celebration on social media, taking advantage of the historical advantage in the Clássico Vovô to taunt the opponent.

On X (formerly Twitter), the club did not spare any irony. Right after the final whistle, it posted: "Son, respect your father!" and "Logic prevailed. Fluminense wins! Victory of their father!". The sequence of messages reinforced the tone of superiority in the clash.

The taunts gained even more strength when the official profile shared: "¿Como se llama? Barrio? Si, profe. Barrio", referring to Zubeldía, debutant, talking about the Botafogo neighborhood. Another post, with the catchphrase "Daddy loves", highlighted an image with the classic's record: 144 Tricolor victories against 133 of the Glorious.

The club also remembered the "120 years of hegemony" over the rival, referring to the history of direct confrontations. For the Tricolors, the result was another chapter of the traditional script that puts Fluminense at an advantage over Botafogo.

On the field, the victory had a special weight: it was Luis Zubeldía's debut in charge of Flu. The team reached 34 points in the Brasileirão, remaining in the middle of the table, while Botafogo stayed at 40 and missed the chance to enter the G-4.

If for the Tricolor the triumph was a reason for celebration and teasing, for the Alvinegro it was left to digest yet another defeat in a classic that reinforces the narrative repeated ad nauseam by the Tricolors: in the Clássico Vovô, Botafogo continues to be the "son" of Fluminense.
