Thousands of fans with “xeneizes” t-shirts and flags gathered throughout the day, but it was at 4 p.m. today that the crowd reached its peak and the festive atmosphere overflowed with joy, beer, fernet and caipirinhas.
Thus, in a festive atmosphere, the tension dissipated due to the attacks suffered by the Boca fans in the previous days, with the epicenter on Thursday, when it was first the “Flu” bars who robbed and beat dozens of people who traveled from different points from Argentina to Brazil, and then it was the police who beat and mistreated the fans.
Copacabana beach was then this afternoon the event for an unprecedented mobilization in the “Wonderful City”, with thousands of “bosteros” who never stopped cheering for Boca, who tomorrow against Fluminense in the legendary Maracaná stadium will seek to win their seventh Libertadores Cup.
Boca fans arrived en masse today in Rio de Janeiro, after the arrival of dozens of buses and several flights (especially from Aerolíneas Argentinas) with supporters who dyed Copacabana blue and gold.
Unlike previous days, the police presence was increased and the thousands of agents assigned to the operations stopped harassing the Argentine fans and began to ensure that the Fluminense fans did not attack the visitors.
