Club World Cup: French paper hails Flamengo, star compares to PSG | OneFootball

Flamengo vs PSG Match: Teams Decide the Club World Cup This Wednesday (17th) Starting at 2 PM (Brasília Time)

PSG (FRA) and Flamengo have had some players in common throughout history. Among the many is former striker Reinaldo, who compared the political and financial management of the two teams. Thus, the French press highlighted the power that the Most Beloved has in South America.

“With all due proportions, Flamengo has become equal to PSG. It is the most powerful. And the most attractive, as the hegemony is just beginning,” said Reinaldo, adding that:

“The fans represent Flamengo’s greatest asset. Being a Flamengo supporter is like joining a religion. On Wednesday, the country will come to a halt, it will be as intense as a World Cup final,” emphasized the former striker this Tuesday (16th), to the French portal L’Équipe.

Do the French Agree?

Flamengo and PSG play this Wednesday (17th) in the World Cup final, but the one making the front pages of French newspapers is the Most Beloved. Thus, L’Équipe not only echoes Reinaldo’s statement, but also adds that no club in the world can do what the Red-Black does.

“In Rio, and throughout Brazil, there is not a single club that makes as much noise. Even when playing far from Maracanã, Flamengo provokes true explosions. With every important goal—and there have been many in recent years—neighbors shout ‘mengãooooo’ and set off fireworks to join in the celebration. The phenomenon happens everywhere, both in upscale neighborhoods and in the favelas,” highlights the French portal’s article.

In the report, L’Équipe tells how Flamengo has reorganized itself financially in recent years. Furthermore, there is mention of the optional holiday established in Rio de Janeiro, allowing Flamengo fans to follow the decision.

What Time Is Flamengo vs PSG?

The big final between Flamengo and PSG takes place this Wednesday (17th), with the Red-Black aiming for their second world title. Thus, the match between Brazilians and French will be at 2 PM (Brasília time), at Al Rayyan Stadium, in Doha, Qatar.
