Galvão Bueno slams Flamengo v PSG at Club World Cup: “Not normal…” | OneFootball

Flamengo drew 1-1 with PSG (FRA), but goalkeeper Safonov saved four penalties

The performance of Flamengo in the Club World Cup final impressed many people, including commentator Galvão Bueno. The Band journalist believes that the Rubro-Negro showed courage against PSG (FRA), but points out that the title was decided by an anomaly.

“Flamengo was brave in Qatar!! It wasn’t the same Fla from recent finals, with ball dominance and attacking all the time, which would have been very difficult,” highlighted Galvão Bueno in a text published on X, formerly Twitter, adding that:

“The Rubro-Negro fought hard, battled until the last minute of extra time. But, in the penalties, the best takers, Jorginho, Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique, were out!! They scored the first with De La Cruz!! But after that, all the shots were poorly taken!! And the Russian Safonov shone!! It’s not normal for a goalkeeper to save four penalties!!” said the commentator.

Did Galvão commentate the World Cup?

Although he did not commentate the Club World Cup, the announcer is an avowed Flamengo fan. Some time ago, the professional revealed that his uncle used to take him, as a young fan, to Maracanã since he was five years old, which motivated his choice for the Rio team.

Why was the commentator impressed with the World Cup final?

FIFA The Best chose five PSG players for the current world’s ideal team. Thus, the Most Beloved was seen as the underdog, but at various moments put the favorite against the ropes, which took the match at 1-1 to a 2-1 penalty shootout.

How will Flamengo start the 2026 season?

After the end of the tournament, the Mengão delegation is returning to Brazil, expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro on the night of Thursday (18th). In short, from that moment on, the professionals’ rest days begin. Thus, activities will only resume in 2026, with the date yet to be defined.
