IT was the chance of a lifetime last night for 46-year-old cameraman Bo Baraniak from Carlton who was in Brazil to help capture the final for broadcast across the globe.
Mr Baraniak has worked as a steadicam operator for several broadcast companies including Sky and the BBC.
Although he has covered the 2002 World Cup in Japan, last night was the first time he had covered the competition's final.
Speaking last night, he said: "The atmosphere here is electric, I've had a walk along Copacabana beach, with a sea of fans happily chanting their nations songs. All very much in the carnival spirit.
"This is a big job where pressure is high on such a massive global event, nearly as high as filming Forest v Derby!"
