    Our biggest lead when nobody had a game in hand was 8 points and we were still extremely disappointed. I can’t imagine how botafogo fans will recover if they really do fumble it.

      Arsenal’s case is significantly less worse than Botafogo’s.

      Arsenal were being chased by City, who are a Premier League points machine. So Arsenal’s margin for error was 0.

      Botafogo is losing a championship that “nobody” wants to win. Everyone who is in contention for the title has had their crisis and gone a few rounds without a win. One example is Atlético Mineiro, who are 5 points behind Botafogo and have gone 10 games without a win in one part of the league.

      Palmeiras also went four games without a win after being eliminated from the Libertadores. Flamengo were a mess under Sampaoli…

      So yeah…
