Montevideo.-The popular Uruguayan team tied 0-0 at home and taking advantage of the 1-0 advantage in Brazil, registered its name as the last semifinalist of the Conmebol Libertadores.
Peñarol fans had to wait thirteen years to see their team again in the semifinals of the largest club competition.
That is why a party was organized at the Campeón del Siglo stadium in Montevideo after the heroic goalless draw against the colossus Flamengo.
Those led by Diego Aguirre – champion as a footballer in 1987 and finalist as a coach in 2011 – made the 1-0 in the first leg count at the Maracaná and then Manya entered the four best on the continent.
They will now clash against Botafogo: the first leg will be in Brazil and the return in Uruguay.
There will be a lot of talk about the failure of the team led by Tite, which was strengthened like no other to win this trophy.
He paid, for example, 18 million euros for former Racing Carlos Alcaraz, who did not enter. He also spent several million to repatriate full-back Alex Sandro, attacker Michael and Ecuadorian Gonzalo Plata.
Nicolás De la Cruz, Matías Viña, Agustín Rossi and Luiz Araujo had arrived before, joining Gerson, Gabigol, De Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique.Clarín-
