The famous "Maracanã" stadium hosted a match between Santos and Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores final, amidst a small crowd due to precautionary measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Palmeiras claimed the Copa Libertadores title for the second time in its history, winning decisively against Santos with a single goal. This morning, Sunday, Palmeiras fans gathered in the streets of São Paulo to celebrate their team's victory in the Copa Libertadores for the second time.
According to the Catalan newspaper "Sport," Palmeiras fans filled the streets of São Paulo to commemorate the Libertadores title, disregarding the restrictions imposed by the Brazilian government due to the second wave of the COVID-19 virus.
The newspaper added that despite the heavy police presence to prevent overcrowding, the traditional Pompeia neighborhood near Allianz Parque began welcoming fans, and the closure of entertainment venues did not stop people from setting up televisions on balconies for passersby to enjoy the match. It is worth noting that Palmeiras has now won the Copa Libertadores for the second time in its history.
