Brazilian football team Club Athletico Paranaense were having a bad season - bottom of the league in Serie A.
Former champions and South American cup winners, the disgrace was unbearable - desperate measures were called for - so they formed a pact with the Devil and posted it on social media.
"Many believe that if a small club such as ours achieves success, then there must be some outside agency to facilitate it. We agree, that is the case - we have made a pact. We now call upon the powers to re-assume that pact - and call upon our supporters to back us."
Six million people viewed the post:
The next game was a crucial one against Cruzeiro. After losing six in a row, the Athletico team were longshots - but an incredible 35,000 fans turned up to see if Satan would keep his side of the bargain. The final score: Athletico 3, Cruzeiro 0. Athletico were now clear of the relegation zone. It worked!
Now on a role, the Athletico team produced a second video for the next game against Vitoria. They named it "The Pact = The Second Act"
