Not the Libertadores: Alex Sandro hails career’s top moment at Flamengo | OneFootball

Experienced and with a history in Europe, Alex Sandro was captivated by AeroFla

Alex Sandro is a two-time Libertadores champion, has won the Copa América, and has five Italian Championships, among other trophies. But none of them are considered the most memorable moment of the defender's career. After the title against Palmeiras on Saturday (29), the number 26 said that AeroFla will never be surpassed.

— Step by step (towards the World Cup). We took an important step with this victory, a very big emotion. I had my first Libertadores title with Santos, it was wonderful. Now with Flamengo, again wonderful, one of the most important titles of my life — said Alex Sandro to CazeTV, regarding the proximity of being called up for the Brazilian National Team in the World Cup.

— Not just for me, but for all the teammates. We have more titles to win this year. Now it's time to celebrate, rest, and there's more ahead. I just have to thank since AeroFla. One of the most incredible moments of my life, even with the fans getting on the bus. It gave us a huge energy — he added.

WHAT WAS AEROFLA?

Last Wednesday (26), during Flamengo's departure for Lima, the fans threw a spectacular party during the delegation's journey to the airport. Even, red-black fans climbed onto the vehicle and managed to get inside, to the point of taking photos and videos with the players.

Alex Sandro highlighted that the support was crucial to motivate Flamengo in the decision. With a lot of grit and quality, Mengão defeated Palmeiras 1-0, with a goal by Danilo, and secured the continental championship for the fourth time. Additionally, the two athletes, who played together at Santos, Porto (POR), Juventus (ITA), the National Team, and now at the Most Beloved, have won 11 trophies together.

IS THE 12TH TITLE COMING FOR ALEX SANDRO AND DANILO?

The duo is close to winning their 12th trophy. On Wednesday (03), if Flamengo beats Ceará, in the penultimate round of the Brasileirão, they will become nine-time champions. Thus, the match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with full coverage from Coluna do Fla.
