Saúl clear on matching Flamengo idol if he wins the Libertadores | OneFootball

What achievement can Saúl reach if Flamengo wins the Libertadores?

Flamengo and Palmeiras face each other this Saturday (29th) in Lima, Peru, in the final of the Libertadores. Therefore, if the Rubro-Negro becomes the continental champion, Saúl will be the second Spaniard in history to win the tournament.

— This fact is insignificant to me, right now I don't stop to think about it. We are at a moment where every match is a final for us. And that's the message I want to pass on to my team: let's not think about anything else besides the next match, he said.

Who was the first Spaniard to win a Libertadores?

The first Spaniard to win the Libertadores is a Flamengo idol. It was Pablo Marí, who formed a defensive duo with Rodrigo Caio during the club's campaign for their second continental title in the 2019 season.

In other words, Saúl could make history twice if he wins the Libertadores. Firstly, for Flamengo, as he would join a select group of players who wore the Sacred Mantle and lifted the continental tournament trophy. Secondly, of course, for being the second Spaniard to win the tournament.
