New Headline: Messi Out of Sync as Ancelotti's Final Move Seals Champions League Triumph
📹 Ancelotti watching as Daronco sends off player, Barboza reacts At the Nilton Santos Stadium, Flamengo is beating Botafogo 3-0 this Saturday (14th), in the sixth round of the 2026 Brasileirão. The Rio derby is being watched by coach Carlo Ancelotti. Who do you think the Italian came to observe for the call-up to the Brazilian National Team?
With the ball rolling, the Rubro-Negro dominated the game and, with high pressing, opened the scoring with Samuel Lino before the 15-minute mark. And at the end of the first half, Léo Pereira "emulated Zico" and took a perfect free kick to extend Flamengo's lead. However, in the very next play, Pedro was sent through to face the goalkeeper one-on-one and ended up being brought down by Alexander Barboza.
Referee Anderson Daronco initially called offside on the field, but after a VAR review, confirmed the play was onside and sent off the Botafogo defender. Barboza then lost his mind and went face to face with Daronco, who stood his ground and stared down the Botafogo center-back! Social media, of course, didn't miss the chance to react to a moment that is "pure juice" of Brazilian football.
