I actually seriously think, because of the colours and positioning, that the umbrellas were an intentional part of the tifo display and not just because of a weather condition….
Erm, umbrellas are a new and popular form of tifo in South America, made famous (and by that I mean I first noticed them being used) by Boca supporters.
I first noticed this when Boca was last in the Club World Cup (in Japan). I think it’s a very positive development in the world of active support to emerge from South America as we only usually hear negatives from that part of the world.
Was it raining or just really really sunny? The Monumental has no roof, so I wouldn’t be surprised….
