Luiz Henrique, scorer of the first goal in the Copa Libertadores final, said Botafogo must stay focused after winning the continental title on Saturday, because “there are more” titles at stake.
“Botafogo has to be at the top because it is working hard. Many people tried to stop me, but God is with me. We must stay focused, more,” Luiz Henrique told Brazilian television on the Monumental lawn stadium in Buenos Aires, after the final against Atlético Mineiro, where Botafogo won 1-3.
In this way, Luiz Henrique mentioned the last two days of the Brazilian league, where Botafogo has the option of being crowned champions, to achieve a double that would be historic for the club.
Argentine Alex Barboza appreciated that Botafogo played with “humanity” and “humility”, especially after Gregore was sent off at the start of the match.
“Everyone ran hard, we played one less player from 40 seconds on. It’s incredible what this team accomplished,” Barboza commented.
Alex Telles, full back for the Brazilian team, recalled that when he arrived at Botafogo he found a “hungry team” after losing the 2023 Brazilian league in recent days. “We know the responsibility we have. And Botafogo are champions. Who doesn’t like it must swallow it.”
