In the afternoon, in an all-Brazilian duel, Palmeiras beat Botafogo 1-0, with a goal from Paulinho.

And check out this view of the goal from the referee's camera! CINEMA!

Later, in a match that "didn't promise much", Chelsea and Benfica "delivered everything"!

Also in extra time, the Blues thrashed the Portuguese 4-1 and qualified to face Palmeiras in the quarterfinals.

Social media, of course, followed this crazy day with attention and a lot of teasing.

🤪 Is it a neighborhood or not?

Generally speaking, Palmeiras and Botafogo have never had a strong rivalry.

However, with heavy investment in recent years, Paulistas and Alvinegros have won important titles, such as the Brazilian Championship and Libertadores.

Not just titles, but Verdão and Glorioso have faced each other in knockout stages, like in the 2024 Libertadores, and disputed the Brazilian Championship title point by point, like in 2023.

And then, that healthy teasing took over social media. Starting with Palmeiras' "adm".

🫣 Infinite game

And what about that Chelsea 4-1 Benfica?

Yes, looking at the final score, everything is more or less normal.

But then you go DECONSTRUCT the match and we had the game stopped with five minutes to go (due to rain and lightning threats), a return after almost two hours, a tying goal in stoppage time, an expulsion in extra time, and a thrashing.
