In the middle of a press conference, Botafogo manager Renato Paiva delivered a masterclass on the two types of football — real-life football and Walt Disney football, as he called it. "Nowadays, with the media and especially the Internet, there are TWO TYPES OF FOOTBALL: real-life football and Walt Disney football. In real-life football, you have to understand who you are, who you're playing against, and you can't always play the same way because sometimes you're not allowed to either because of the opponent's quality or their tactical setup. In Walt Disney football, everyone has to go all-out attacking and it's like we're playing alone. After beating PSG, in people's minds we had to DESTROY Atlético Madrid. Let me tell you a story: I ran into a fan, it's good to interact with fans, and he told me we should've played differently, that if we had approached the Atlético Madrid game another way, we would've won for sure. That we were too defensive. So I asked him, because it's his opinion and I respect it, 'Tell me something, how many times have you watched Atlético Madrid play this year?' And he said: 'I haven't seen them at all.' There you go, explained. That's a WALT DISNEY FOOTBALL comment. 'I believe it should be like this, I think it should be like that, and so everything must be done that way.' We were 'happy' and deserving against Atlético Madrid, but then five minutes before the end, we conceded a goal and NOW EVERYTHING IS WRONG. What worked against PSG? Gone. This is one of the issues we have to address: the final result tells you if it worked or didn't, whether you're great or not. People like that don't care who's on the other side."
