Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor has said no football fans - even those in the Premier League - match the support given in Brazil.
The 56-year-old American businessman is the majority shareholder of Brasileiro outfit Botafogo following his takeover earlier this year and was in Rio de Janeiro to see the club’s 3-1 win over Fortaleza on Sunday night. The result lifts them to fourth in the table despite only being promoted to the top tier of Brazilian football last season.
And while Textor has been a regular visitor to Selhurst Park this season for games, where Palace fans are renowned for their vociferous atmosphere, he told Globo at full-time that nowhere in the world compared to Brazil when it came to supporting their teams.
