The Tricolores find a “rain” of positive coincidences to increase confidence ahead of the most important match in the club’s history after 15 years
The day of November 4th has everything to reserve strong emotions for Fluminense fans, and this can be seen with short updates on social media. To contain their anxiety, many Italians have started looking for mystics who could give a positive signal for the Copa Libertadores final, which will be played against Boca Juniors, at the Maracanã.
There is a great diversity of theories, all to try to calm the minds of a fan base that has been waiting for the long-awaited title of champions of America for a long time. There is no shortage of examples, such as: Fluminense have won their last four matches played on Saturdays at 5pm and, most surprisingly, all of them have been played once a year. Watch:
- Forteleza 0 x 1 Fluminense (2019)
- Botafogo 0 x 1 Fluminense (2020)
- Fluminense 2 x 0 America (2021)
- Fluminense 2 x 0 Vasco (2022)
- Boca Juniors x Fluminense (2023)
Other mystics also deviate from the results of previous games, such as Keno, who once again had braids in her hair. This was the striker’s appearance when he scored a header against Boca Juniors, in the 3rd round of the group stage of the 2018 Libertadores.

“Help Gringo”
Fluminense fans will not be alone in this Libertadores final. This is because the definition of Boca Juniors as finalists also shook social media in Argentina, including, obviously, the fans of River Plate, the yellow and blue club’s biggest rival. The “Millonarios” also jumped on the coincidence wave and found similarities between Fluminense’s 2023 knockout campaigns and River’s 2018.
In comparison, the coincidences are truly remarkable. Check the translation:
- Round of 16: both eliminate an Argentine team
- Quarter-finals: both win the return match 3×1
- Semi-final: both play the second leg in Porto Alegre and, after losing the match, reverse in the last 10 minutes
- Final: both play against Boca Juniors, who eliminated Palmeiras in the previous phase
Faith and coincidence
If we have already talked about matches, results, rankings and images, why not about faith? November 4th is celebrated as the “Day of São Carlos Bartomeu”, the patron saint of St. John Paul II, the João de Deus of Fluminense fans, always acclaimed when decisive and important moments arrive. The chant was resumed for the first time from the seats of the Maracanã when Fluminense faced Vasco in the first round of the 1980 Rio Championship.
At the time, the tricolor was defeated by Vasco, and managed to snatch the 1-1 draw and take the decision to penalties, later winning the dispute 4-1 and becoming state champion with the famous song “A benção, João de Deus” , which fans still wear and sing at the top of their lungs today.
Boca Juniors and Fluminense will face each other in the grand final of the Copa Libertadores on Saturday 4 November at 5pm at the Maracanã.
