Flamengo fan Pedro Carvalho stopped celebrating his daughter’s birthday to watch the Libertadores final in Lima, as he faced setbacks on the trip, but managed to arrive in time to see Flamengo win their fourth title.
From the Monumental ‘U’ stadium, in Lima, Peru, Pedro Carvalho watched Flamengo win their fourth Copa Libertadores da América title. But to see history being written up close, the Rio native had to make a delicate decision: to stop attending his daughter Julia Carvalho’s 26th birthday celebrations.
“I left my daughter and called my brother-in-law to come with me. He said his father could go but his friend couldn’t. So, he used his fan partner and gave me his ticket,” he said in a conversation with. landThis was during the title celebration in the Peruvian capital.
The flamingista confirms that his daughter was not angry about his trip to Peru, but he knows that the story would be different if he had been able to convince his son-in-law to accompany him.
She continued: “She wasn’t. She was just angry because her boyfriend was coming. It was great and we’re four-time champions. Me and her godfather, on her birthday.”
But missing Julia’s birthday was almost pointless. On a trip full of stops, Pedro and his friend Cado’s flight from Cusco to Lima was rescheduled from Friday to Saturday night, that is, after departure.
The cancellation of the flight due to the “temporary closure of the airport” resonated on social media the night before the match. According to Pedro, it took a lot of insistence from the fans to get a new flight to reach Lima on time.
