Galvão Bueno anticipates and congratulates Palmeiras on the title

The storyteller Galvão Bueno used his social networks to speak out about the dispute for the Brazilian Championship title. With the cup practically in the hands of the Palm treesthe announcer stated that Alviverde fans can now shout “he’s a champion”.

“I recorded this video on December 4th to talk about the Championship that ends on the 6th. I want to say to the Palmeiras fans: Congratulations on winning the Brazilian title in 2023. Coach Abel Ferreira is a huge success and has a team that comes with several consecutive victories: Brasileirão, Paulistão, Libertadores… Congratulations, Palestra”, said Galvão.

The narrator based his opinion on the fact that Palmeiras has a significant advantage in terms of “goal difference” over its direct rivals, Atlético-MG and Flamengo. “Is it possible (to take this advantage)? Yes, but if that happens, I apologize in advance,” said Galvão. For Luiz Felipe Scolari’s team, the difference in favor of the Alviverde team is eight goals, while for the team led by Tite the distance is 16.

This way, Palmeiras would only lose the Brasileirão title if they were defeated by Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG beat Bahia, in Salvador, by an elastic score. For example, the Alviverde team would have to be defeated at Mineirão by 1-0, and Felipão’s team would win by 8-0.

Flamengo’s situation is even more complicated. The red-black team, counting on the same minimum score favorable to Cruzeiro, for example, would need a 15-0 victory.

The decisive round of the Brasileirão is scheduled for this Wednesday, at 9:30 pm. All games take place simultaneously, with the exception of the duel between Goiás and América-MG, who are already relegated, and end their participation in the elite earlier, with the ball rolling at 7pm.
