Argentine police arrested 'Crazy Rooster' while he was 'warming up' for the Copa Libertadores final

(Patria) - Ahead of us is the great Copa Libertadores final where two Brazilian giants - Botafogo and Atletico Mineiro - will meet at the famous Monumental at 9:00 PM.

The most important match of South American club football has also attracted a huge number of Brazilian fans to Buenos Aires, and in the streets of the Argentine capital, Brazilians have begun to take center stage these days.

Botafogo fans have their own area where they have gathered, around Puerto Madero, a modern neighborhood by the canal with many restaurants, while Atletico Mineiro supporters have chosen San Telmo, an old district known for its market and antique sellers.

It was there that an incident occurred, prompting the Argentine police to react, and we witnessed an incredible situation where they detained the Atletico Mineiro mascot.

The mascot, known as the "Crazy Rooster," went too far in its antics at the gathering of Atletico Mineiro fans.

The police took the mascot aside due to indecent behavior, reportedly jumping on tables at the stalls of the popular flea market in San Telmo.

Fans tried to defend the mascot, but police officers drove them away, and eventually, several officers took the "Crazy Rooster" with them.

However, it is also reported that after identification, he was not arrested; instead, the police released him, and he continued celebrating, likely toning down the "craziness."

Still, there is no doubt that he will be in his element again during the final match, especially if his team wins the most prestigious trophy in South America.

Atletico Mineiro has won one Copa Libertadores in its history, in 2013, while Botafogo is fighting for its first major trophy.

The Copa Libertadores final is played tonight at 9:00 PM.
