It's true that I have this joy (first title of my career), but I also have the sadness of being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil on penalties -, he said before concluding:

— The opponent comes wounded from losing today's final. But I know the coach very well, Sampaoli is my friend.

But I only think about what's within our control, which is to try to win the game there -, concluded Filipe Luis.
