Juan Camilo Portilla signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Juan Camilo Portilla and Athletico Paranaense agree another 4 years.

When it matters, Léo plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
