The relegation of Gremio in the Brasileirao 2021
The final matchday of Brasileirao 2021 resulted in the relegation of the historic Gremio from Porto Alegre. Despite having players like Douglas Costa, Miguel Borja, or Walter Kannemann, the Tricolor Gaúcho couldn't survive and will now have to play in the second division of their country for the third time in their history.
Despite the sporting failure of losing the category, one of the footballers of the three-time Copa Libertadores champion would not have had any problems organizing a party a couple of hours later. This was revealed by Brazilian journalist Lennon Haas, from Radio Acústica FM.
“A source informs me that Douglas Costa would have spent the night, until dawn, having a "party" after Gremio's relegation. The "party" would have taken place in a mansion in Porto Alegre. 'Laughing a lot, as if nothing had happened,' the source told me," wrote the communicator on his social media, where he attached images of the alleged celebration.
