Unforgettable week: Varela shines in Brasileirão, Libertadores wins | OneFootball

Varela shone against Palmeiras and Ceará in recent days

Danilo became the hero of the Libertadores title with his goal against Palmeiras, and Samuel Lino experienced a similar situation by scoring against Ceará in the Brasileirão victory. But Varela is also in the fans’ hearts after shining in both matches that brought trophies to Flamengo.

This Wednesday (03), after the 1–0 win over Ceará in the penultimate round of the Brasileirão, Varela spoke about the “blessed week” he had. The Uruguayan said he received support from the group to shine in both Lima and Rio de Janeiro.

— I felt really good in the Libertadores final, a lot of support from my teammates and we achieved the long-awaited fourth title. Today, another final, we knew they would play defensively, that it would be a tough match. But I’m very happy, very happy. A blessed week — said Varela.

A BLESSED WEEK INDEED, HUH, VARELA?

Varela shut down Palmeiras’ left side on Saturday (29), showing a lot of grit and tackles. It was a similar story this Wednesday (03), when Flamengo beat Ceará. Both matches ended 1–0 for the Most Beloved, who lifted the Libertadores and Brasileirão trophies.

IS THERE ANOTHER TROPHY COMING, VARELA?

The year isn’t over yet, after all, Flamengo can win more titles. On Wednesday (10), Mengão faces Cruz Azul (MEX) in the quarterfinals of the Intercontinental Cup, the Club World Cup. Before that, however, Rubro-Negro will play their final league match in the Brasileirão against Mirassol this weekend.
