In a game organized by Flamengo, Saúl left Luiz Araújo embarrassed


The atmosphere is light at Flamengo. In a video published by the club this Tuesday (11), players ‘showed off’ with amazing goals scored throughout their careers. Highlights included plays by Léo Ortiz and Saúl, during their time at Bragantino and Atlético de Madrid (ESP), respectively.

The video starts with Léo Ortiz, featuring a stunning goal scored by the defender in a match against América-MG in 2023. On that occasion, the defender charged forward with the ball from the defensive half and finished with style. However, Saúl teased: “Ah, he didn’t dribble anyone. He just ran.”

WHAT WAS SAÚL’S ‘BURN’ ON LUIZ ARAÚJO?

Later, it was the players’ turn to watch a stunning goal by Saúl for Atlético de Madrid against Bayern Munich (GER) in 2016. “A goal that Saúl scored by accident there,” started Léo Ortiz. “Ah, look at the marking too,” added Luiz Araújo, teasing the Spaniard. “Oh really? (I dribbled) one, two, three…,” he pointed out. “Saúl, is that under-20?,” asked the number 7, who was quickly answered. “No, it was a Champions League semifinal,” he said, laughing.

WHAT WERE THE CONTEXTS OF THE GOALS?

The masterpieces by Léo Ortiz and Saúl bring back different memories for the players. In the defender’s goal for Bragantino, the match ended 3-3 with América-MG in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, but the team from Minas Gerais advanced on penalties.

On the other hand, Saúl’s goal was unforgettable for the midfielder. On that occasion, the current Flamengo midfielder scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Bayern in the first leg of the semifinal. In the return leg, Atlético even lost 2-1, but went through thanks to the now-defunct away goals rule.

WILL LÉO ORTIZ AND SAÚL PLAY AGAINST SPORT?

Even with many absences, Léo Ortiz and Saúl are expected to be on the field in the next Flamengo game. O Mais Querido faces Sport on Saturday (15), starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Pernambuco. If Mengão is on the field, there will be full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
