In an exclusive report from beIN SPORTS USA with Andibonamino, South American passion came through loud and clear in Miami during the Club World Cup. Far from being intimidated by the history and financial power of European clubs, Latin American fans and players made it clear that the myth of European supremacy is starting to crumble.

From Palmeiras drawing with a European side to the intensity with which Boca Juniors challenged Bayern Munich, the message was strong: in modern football, shirts don’t win games. “Who should we fear? That myth of European superiority is falling apart,” said one fan interviewed by Andibonamino, surrounded by a sea of blue and gold jerseys.

The atmosphere at the Hard Rock Stadium proved it: Argentine flags, chants, barbecue smoke, and thousands of voices shouting “Dale Boca” made Bayern feel like the away team. Even Vincent Kompany, coach of the German side, admitted the environment was a true test for his squad.

Although Boca lost 2-1 with a late goal from Michael Olise, the competitive spirit of CONMEBOL teams remained unshaken. Out of nine matches, South American clubs have only lost three against European teams, always making their presence felt. America shouted loud: the gap is gone, and respect is earned on the pitch.
