In Brazil, this Pele attempt in the 1970 WC became nationally known as "the goal that pele missed"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMfyVCpQBA0

This year's national championship was dedicated to Pele, it being the first one to be held after his death.

And tonight, for the first time ever, Santos was relegated. And this is the goal that sealed it:

Che storia figata, ragazzo!



Incredible, at that point they needed to score because only the win would save them.

I haven't followed the brasileirao closely, why were they so bad this year?

are they actually relegated, or is this like the time when river plate got relegated and the argentinian FA changed the rules so they weren't?

They are actually relegated. While I'm sure they'd pull strings if flamengo was in this situation, Santos doesn't have that pull.

As for why, there's a few reasons

- Santos has always been an oddity, the only big team not in a state capital. They've been able to succeed because they have an amazing youth academy. So they sell young and hire old. This year they sold one of their youth to Chelsea but then refused to sell another to Roma and that created some drama.

- former Brazilian national Falcão was their director. Turns out he's a creep and serial sexual harasser. So he left hallway through the season

End result, internal bickering, 20 signed bad players and like 4 managers

This is only tangentially relevant but Lyon, another giant of a domestic league, is very likely to be relegated. 7 points from 14 game, dead bottom of Ligue 1.

What is it that’s going on with them? It’s tough for me to imagine a world where Lyon would get relegated from Ligue 1.

Not a French league watcher myself but I saw some analysis a few weeks back saying they sold all their good players, replaced them with bad players, and now play like poo poo, plus they are now broke because French football is in crisis so they can't spend their way out of the hole

a lot of bad decisions but they really started to get hosed when they've had to pay for their brand new stadium without european football money (plus the covid hit).
