Part 2/7:
Botafogo has emerged as the unequivocal champion of 2024, clinching both the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship. Their performance has been lauded as the most successful of the year, showcasing their dominance and the impact of their structural overhaul into a 'SAF' (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol)—a model that many clubs in Brazil are considering following. Observers noted that their victory was not just about winning but doing so convincingly and establishing themselves among the elite clubs in Brazil.
While some experts acknowledged the accolades given to other teams, it was clear that Botafogo had no serious competitors in this regard. Although Fortaleza earned a commendable mention for consistently performing well, it couldn't match Botafogo's achievements.
