Luis Enrique: PSG boss hopes to avoid Flamengo in Intercontinental final | OneFootball

After defeating Cruz Azul 2-1, Flamengo faces Pyramids for a spot in the final of the Intercontinental Cup against Paris Saint-Germain. When asked which opponent he prefers to face in the final, PSG's coach, Luis Enrique, was straightforward and stated that he does not wish to face the red-black team.

“I prefer Pyramids, which I don't know, but of course they can beat us, but my preference is not Flamengo, that's clear,” said the coach in an interview with TNT Sports.

During the interview, Luis Enrique also recalled Flamengo's 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the group stage of the Men's Club World Cup in July this year and praised the red-black squad.

“We saw the team in the World Cup. It's a very good team, full of quality players, experienced, and with a great coach. I prefer Pyramids,” he concluded.

The semifinal between Flamengo and Pyramids will be played this Saturday at 2 PM (Brasília time), in Doha, Qatar. On the other side, Paris Saint-Germain already has a guaranteed spot in the Intercontinental final for having won the 2024/2025 Champions League.
