Libertadores final: Palmeiras squad set off for Lima | OneFootball

Palmeiras has departed for Lima for the grand final of the Copa Libertadores. On Wednesday afternoon, with the full squad, the alviverde delegation left Porto Alegre heading to Peru for the continental tournament’s decisive match, in which they will face Flamengo.

The motivation for winning the Libertadores started right inside the plane, whose seats were personalized with the following message: “Let’s believe and make it happen,” accompanied by the drawing of three golden trophies from the competition and one yet to be won.

Verdão adopted the strategy of traveling to Lima one day after the match against Grêmio, which took place last Tuesday. The eight players who were not listed for the match, including Vitor Roque and Flaco López, joined the delegation at the end of the afternoon and boarded together for the Peruvian capital.

Possible starters in the final, Piquerez, Andreas Pereira, and Allan were the only ones who joined the listed players later and played in the match against Grêmio. The Uruguayan was not used, while the latter two came on in the second half of the defeat.

Palmeiras’ Schedule

Coach Abel Ferreira will have two training sessions in Lima to decide Palmeiras’ starting lineup for the big Libertadores final. In addition to the two activities, the alviverde schedule also includes a pre-match press conference with the coach and another player from the squad.

Palmeiras and Flamengo will play the Libertadores final this Saturday at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Monumental U, in Lima (Peru).
