Andreas Pereira’s Mistake Against Palmeiras in the 2021 Libertadores Final

Currently a starting midfielder for Palmeiras, Andreas Pereira played for Flamengo between 2021 and 2022, but left the club with a negative record. That’s because the player made a costly mistake in the Copa Libertadores final against Palmeiras. As a result, sources from Mengo revealed behind the scenes that the former midfielder received threats.

“His suffering lasted for months. We went on vacation and, when we returned, he was still completely devastated,” said a source from Flamengo in an interview this Friday (17th) to the portal ‘UOL’.

“Back in Brazil, there were people trying to attack the bus. We had to stop the bus early and switch to a different car, one that wasn’t normal—it was bulletproof,” Andreas Pereira highlighted about the return to the country.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT?

Flamengo and Palmeiras played the final of the Copa Libertadores in 2021, held in Montevideo, Uruguay. Five minutes into the first half of extra time, Andreas Pereira made a defensive error and handed the ball to Deyverson. The striker then scored the goal that secured the title for the São Paulo club.

REUNION WITH FLAMENGO?
