Rossi on PSG’s goal v Flamengo in Corinthians’ Club World Cup final | OneFootball

Did Rossi, Flamengo's goalkeeper, make a mistake in PSG's (FRA) goal in the World Cup final?

Flamengo came very close to conquering the world this Wednesday (17), but ended up being defeated on penalties by PSG (FRA). The French team's goal, in fact, came after a 'mistake' by Rossi. Thus, after the match, the goalkeeper explained the play that led to Kvaratskhelia's goal.

— I tried to just give it a little tap, just to deflect it from the guy. But the ball ended up slipping off my fingertips and landed at the feet of the guy who scored, but it happens. That's football. Later I had the chance to keep trying to play and I didn't hide at any moment -, he said, before concluding:

— We went all out for 120 minutes. We had a great year, a great match today. No one can forget that. And that's it. Today we ended up being the second-best team in the world. No one can discredit that. We had a wonderful year and we are very proud of the year we had -, concluded Rossi.

How was PSG's goal play?

PSG found the net at 38 minutes of the first half. On that occasion, Doué received the ball on the right side of the red-black attack. Thus, the player attempted a pass to Fabián Ruiz and, after a deflection by Rossi, the 'ball' ended up at the feet of the Spaniard, who simply pushed it into the back of the red-black net.

After PSG's goal, Flamengo started to create more opportunities. Thus, at 17 minutes into the second half, Jorginho equalized the score for Mengão with a penalty kick. With the score tied, the final went to penalties, and the French team won 2-1.

When does Flamengo return to Rio de Janeiro?

After the Club World Cup, the Flamengo squad returns to Rio de Janeiro this Thursday (18), at 10 a.m. (local time) and 4 a.m. (Brasília time). Thus, the expectation is that the red-black delegation will be received with much celebration and, subsequently, the Most Beloved will begin their vacation.
