Part 2/7:
The season kicked off with the team displaying resilience that they desperately needed after what can only be described as a "pipocada" – a term that echoes their struggles from the prior season. Last year’s campaign saw them falter at crucial moments, with devastating defeats that seemed to threaten their spirit. However, 2024 has rewritten the narrative. The victory against São Paulo, coupled with Palmeiras' loss to Fluminense, set the stage for Botafogo to claim the Championship Brasileiro title, thus capping off a historic year with their first-ever Libertadores championship and the Brasileiro title.
