PSG (FRA) has not yet played in the Intercontinental, but some French newspapers are already keeping an eye on Flamengo. Not surprisingly, the tabloid Le Parisien praised the squad of the Most Beloved this Wednesday (10).
This is because Flamengo defeated Cruz Azul (MEX) 2-1 this Wednesday (10) and advanced to the semifinals of the Intercontinental. Thus, the newspaper Le Parisien showered praises on the squad, especially the players who have already played in Europe.
“It should be noted that the Rio de Janeiro club has several high-class players. Jorginho, former Chelsea, and Samuel Lino, former Atlético de Madrid, started among the starters. Alex Sandro, former Juventus, was also in the starting 11. On the bench, there were names like Emerson Royal, Danilo and Saúl,” wrote the French newspaper.
To face PSG, Flamengo needs to defeat Pyramids (EGY) this Saturday (13), in Doha, Qatar. This is because the French team, having won the Champions League, is already qualified for the grand final of the Intercontinental.
Therefore, Flamengo, which is in the semifinals of the Intercontinental, needs to beat Pyramids to face PSG in the final. The Most Beloved's match against the Egyptian team is scheduled for Saturday (13), at 2 PM (Brasília time).
