Almost Another Goal by Marcelo, Ends Up as a Viral Hit to a Teammate
The Copa Libertadores is known for delivering unforgettable moments, and this time was no different. However, it wasn't the football itself that made headlines but a rather "curious" viral moment.
During the match between Fluminense and Cerro Porteño, with the game tied at 1-1, Marcelo attempted a powerful shot following a rebound. Unfortunately for him, the ball struck the face of one of his teammates, leaving him sprawled on the pitch.
This incident quickly went viral, garnering millions of interactions on social media. In the end, the current champions of the tournament, Fluminense, secured a 2-1 victory over their rivals. They earned their place in the Round of 16, but also created a widely shared viral moment.
