And it was a very telling sign.
Before the quarterfinal match of the Copa Libertadores against Botafogo, the football club "Sao Pulu" decided to rent an airship for an advertising campaign. According to the idea, the aeronautical device should fly over the city and raise the spirits of the fans. However, the first training flight on September 25 ended in disaster. The airship crashed in a residential area, crashing into houses.
According to the Daily Mail, at least one person was injured in the crash. And the airship pilot was taken to hospital with various injuries.
"Sao Paulo" lost that very match on penalties and was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores.
