Matković & Partners extends its sincere congratulations to our client, Botafogo Football Club, on an extraordinary and historic victory over reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain. On 19 June 2025, at the iconic Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, Botafogo secured a 1–0 win in the FIFA Club World Cup, marking one of the club’s most significant international achievements to date.
The match’s decisive moment came in the 36th minute, following a well-executed attack. Jefferson Savarino delivered a precise pass to Igor Jesus, who broke through the defense. After a deflection off PSG defender Willian Pacho, Jesus remained composed and placed the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma. Despite PSG dominating possession throughout much of the game, Botafogo displayed tactical maturity, collective discipline, and mental resilience—ultimately prevailing through a unified and strategic approach.
This victory transcends the football pitch. It reflects Botafogo’s long-term vision, strong leadership, and commitment to excellence. By defeating the champions of Europe, Botafogo has demonstrated its capability to compete at the highest global level. As the club’s legal counsel, MP Legal is proud to support an organisation that consistently upholds the values of integrity, professionalism, and ambition—on and off the field.
Success of this nature is never accidental; it is the product of strategic thinking, focused execution, and a cohesive team effort—values we share as a legal practice. We congratulate the entire Botafogo team on this remarkable milestone and look forward to continuing our collaboration in the years ahead.
