Barreal celebrates equaliser, eyes strong finish: "Three finals left" | OneFootball

Barreal celebrated a lot after scoring the goal this Monday against Internacional at Beira-Rio, which secured the precious 1-1 draw for Santos. After the match, the midfielder adopted an optimistic tone regarding the club's stay in the Série A of the Brazilian Championship.

“Very happy to help the team draw the game. Unfortunately, we couldn't win, but we still have three finals left,” said Barreal to Premiere.

The Argentine was brought on at halftime by Vojvoda and scored a stunning goal in the second half, finishing off Guilherme's cross. Barreal prevented Santos from losing in the South, but it wasn't enough to lift the club out of the relegation zone.

“We came here to win the game, we wanted to win the game. Unfortunately, we couldn't. We have to keep working, Friday we have another final. Keep our heads up and move forward,” he continued.

Peixe is the first team in the Z4, with 38 points, one less than Vitória. In the last three rounds, Santos will face the already relegated Sport at home, Juventude, who are also fighting to avoid relegation, away, and Cruzeiro at Vila Belmiro.

“We cannot give up. We have a team to save Santos from relegation. We want to stay in Série A and I think we have the team to do it,” concluded Barreal.
