Part 1/8:
The Current State of Botafogo and Flamengo Rivalry
The recent performance of Botafogo in the Carioca championship has raised eyebrows among fans and critics alike. After an impressive streak of three consecutive victories, the team faltered against Madureira, missing an opportunity to ascend to 15 points and surpass the rival Flamengo, which was sitting at 14 points. Instead, the team remains stagnant while Flamengo, now at 16 or 17 points, is hot on the heels of the current leader, Volta Redonda.
