Following the defeat, coach Luís Castro engaged in a heated argument with journalists in the press room regarding his performance leading the team. The manager criticized the focus on negative narratives, stating that he knows such coverage is intended to generate engagement. Grêmio remains in a precarious position within the league standings, tied on 28 points with Internacional, Vasco, and Mirassol.
