With more than a week to go before the ball rolls for the very final of the Campeonato Mineiro between Cruzeiro and Atlético, Raposa already knows that it will have its biggest home crowd of the year. The last number of tickets sold for the April 7 classic that will name the state champion recorded more than 45 thousand tickets sold.
The biggest star audience of the year so far took place in the match against Tombense, in the second leg of the Mineiro semi-final. More than 40 thousand fans were present at Gigante da Pampulha to watch the star-studded classification.
The definition of the total ticket load should take place next week, but the expectation is for more than 60 thousand at Mineirão. It is worth remembering that the second leg of the state decision will also mark Marcelo Moreno’s farewell to football. The player confirmed this Thursday (28) that the so-called ‘last arrow’ will take place in the Gigante da Pampulha classic.
Having had the best campaign in the state in the first phase, Cruzeiro arrives at the decision with the advantage of playing for two draws. The first game between the teams will take place this Saturday (30), 4:30 pm, at Arena MRV.
