Synopsis

Shot in Belo Horizonte, the city in which Clube Atlético Mineiro is based and the venue of the 2013 Copa Libertadores Finals, the documentary follows five supporters of the club (a priest, a bar owner, a sports broadcaster, a musician and a retired worker) in their preparations for the final match of the competition, which Atlético went on to win in dramatic fashion.

Production and release

O Dia do Galo was directed by Cris Azzi with support from Coletivo Nitro and Alicate Filmes, totalling a crew of 50 people. It was initially released as a 22-minute short film and made available online, on YouTube, as a way to encourage club players and supporters in their preparation for the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup. In 2014, the documentary version was completed and screened in festivals, [1] and it was released in Brazilian movie theatres on 24 July 2015 (exactly two years after the day it portrays). It was made available on Netflix in December 2015. [2]

Reception

The documentary was generally met with positive reviews. Pablo Villaça, film critic for Cinema em Cena, gave the film 4 stars out of 5, stating "it is less about Atlético itself than about the act of rooting [for a football team]". [3] The film ended 2015 as one of the most watched Brazilian films of the year. [4]

The Atlético Mineiro–Flamengo rivalry is a high-profile inter-state rivalry between Brazilian professional football clubs Atlético Mineiro and Flamengo. The clubs first played against each other in 1929, but until regular competitions were introduced in Brazilian football in 1959, the encounters were played at friendly level, since they come from different states: Flamengo is from Rio de Janeiro, while Atlético Mineiro hails from Minas Gerais. The rivalry developed in the 1980s from numerous controversial encounters between the two clubs in that decade's Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa Libertadores editions. It remained through the following years, and is considered the biggest interstate rivalry in Brazilian football.

The rivalry between América Futebol Clube and Clube Atlético Mineiro, named as "Clássico das Multidões" and also called "Galo versus Coelho", is a football rivalry from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The rivalry has a 110-year history, since first match happened in 1913, and it was considered the biggest derby of Minas Gerais for decades. Since América fell back, due to initially refusing to become a professional club, and Cruzeiro surpassed Coelho in popularity – and later, in titles – the derby lost its status as the most important one in the state. However, the rivalry between América and Atlético continued through the years, in decisive matches in the Campeonato Mineiro, in encounters for the Campeonato Brasileiro and even in the Copa Libertadores, in 2022.
