Filipe Luís stays grounded ahead of Flamengo v Palmeiras final | OneFootball

Flamengo and Palmeiras to Reenact the 2021 Libertadores Final

Flamengo 'steamrolled' and defeated Sport this Saturday (01), with a 3-0 victory, in the 31st round of the Brasileirão. After the match, coach Filipe Luís was questioned about the Libertadores final against Palmeiras. However, the coach remained grounded and stated he is focused on the upcoming games.

— I watched it, as I told you, without a tactical perspective, just following the ball. To really clear my head. Palmeiras advanced deservedly. The two best teams in South America are perhaps making the greatest final in the history of the Libertadores. It's wonderful that we have the opportunity to experience this moment -, he said, before concluding:

— It's a great privilege, and we will enjoy playing a Libertadores at this level. The final is still far away. I know you want to know, but the only thing on my mind is São Paulo -, concluded Filipe Luís.

When Will the Libertadores Final Take Place?

The grand final of the Libertadores is scheduled for Lima, Peru. However, Conmebol has not yet set the time for the decision. In 2019, the same Estadio Monumental in Lima hosted the match, and on that occasion, the game started at 5 PM (Brasília time). Therefore, the organizer is likely to repeat the strategy.

Are Flamengo and Palmeiras Competing for Another Title?

Besides the Libertadores, Flamengo and Palmeiras are competing for another title this season: the Campeonato Brasileiro. At the moment, the São Paulo team is in first place on the table, with 62 points, while the Most Beloved is right behind, with 61.

What is Flamengo's Next Match?

While the Libertadores is still to come, Flamengo is starting to focus on the next commitment of the season. This Wednesday (05), Filipe Luís's team faces São Paulo at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs São Paulo game.
