Filipe Luís’s wish for Flamengo after Monaco beat PSG | OneFootball

Filipe Luís managed to beat PSG (FRA) while in charge of Monaco (FRA) this Friday (04)

“No one gets away owing us.” The phrase Flamengo fans love to repeat was partially fulfilled this Friday (04). An out-and-out Rubro-Negro, coach Filipe Luís, leading Monaco (FRA), beat PSG (FRA) 2-1 in comeback fashion in Paris, in the third round of the French Championship. Asked whether he still follows the Most Beloved, the coach said he hopes for Mengão’s revenge against the Champions League winner at the Club World Cup.

— I have many friends there, and I have enormous affection for the club, everyone knows that. I’ve said it a million times. I’m really rooting for Flamengo to reach another Club World Cup final so they can get their revenge. I have many friends there, I love the people at Flamengo very much, and I have wonderful memories — Filipe Luís began.

— They were seven incredible years, and the opportunity they gave me to lead that project for one year is what brought me here. I’m very grateful to everyone, and I hope Flamengo are always champions — added Monaco’s current coach in an interview with ‘CazéTV’.

2025 CLUB WORLD CUP

In December last year, Flamengo, then coached by Filipe Luís, came very close to the world title. After a 1-1 draw in regular time and extra time, the match went to penalties. However, the French side came out on top in the shootout.

REVENGE

Since PSG won the Champions League again, they have already qualified for the Club World Cup at the end of the year. Flamengo, on the other hand, still have a long road ahead to secure a spot, as they need to win the Copa Libertadores again. Rubro-Negro, now under Leonardo Jardim, are in the quarterfinals.

Flamengo’s next opponent will be Independiente del Valle (ECU). If they advance, Mengo will face Corinthians or Estudiantes (ARG) in the semifinal. Finally, the final could feature Palmeiras, Fluminense, LDU (ECU), or Platense (ARG).

FILIPE LUÍS IN FRANCE

With the win at the Parc des Princes this Friday (04), Monaco lead the French Championship with three wins in three matches. In addition, Filipe Luís’s team has picked up two wins in the Conference League. In other words, the former Flamengo man has a 100% record in official matches with his new club.

AUTHOR’S OPINION

— Filipe Luís’s start at Monaco is frightening. He has simply beaten the two biggest teams in the country — Olympique de Marseille and PSG. You can’t ask for a better start. If he keeps this pace up, he won’t stay at the club for long. Before long, a European giant will take him from there — opined Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
