To facilitate the journey, a prudent recommendation advised fans to opt for public transportation, with the subway, particularly the Carioca station, being the preferred mode.
Despite the relentless heat, a resilient spirit prevailed among the fans. The crowd was still massive despite Climatempo’s forecast hinting at the possibility of Rio de Janeiro experiencing its highest recorded temperature on the memorable Sunday.
Fluminense etched history by clinching their inaugural Libertadores title in a thrilling 2-1 victory against Boca Juniors from Argentina at the iconic Maracanã.
