Saúl: Flamengo like Liverpool ahead of Libertadores final v Palmeiras | OneFootball

Flamengo and Palmeiras face off starting at 6 PM (Brasília time) on Saturday (29)

Flamengo faces Palmeiras in the final of the Libertadores this Saturday (29). The decision takes place in Lima, Peru, but fans are present nonetheless, which is a novelty for Saúl. According to the Spanish midfielder, not even Real Madrid (ESP) has such a fanbase.

Is Saúl confident for the Libertadores final?

The midfielder, who started playing as a defensive midfielder with Filipe Luís, highlighted the competitiveness of South American football. This is because Flamengo is competing for two titles at the moment, and in both situations, the opponent is the same.

“I've been here for a short time, but the rivalry is very strong. The people from Palmeiras talk about Flamengo and those from Flamengo talk about Palmeiras. At the moment, they are the two strongest teams and the competition is fierce. We are competing in the Brasileirão and the Libertadores against them. I hope we win both titles, but everything is still open,” stated the Spaniard.

Is the athlete satisfied with coach Filipe Luís?

Saúl and Filipe Luís know each other from way back. They both played together for years at Atlético de Madrid. However, the former full-back left Europe in 2019 to wear the Sacred Mantle. Six years later, the Spaniard followed the same path.

“Filipe is my coach. As long as I wear the Flamengo jersey, the friendship I have with him off the field does not exist. The credit is his. Coaching players who were his teammates and who he knows how we think about coaches,” highlighted Saúl, who added:

“He is handling it with tremendous naturalness. He has very good group management. He surprised me positively. He knows a lot about football,” emphasized the midfielder.

What time does Flamengo vs. Palmeiras take place?

The final of the Libertadores between Flamengo and Palmeiras takes place this Saturday (29), starting at 6 PM (Brasília time), at the Monumental Stadium in Lima, Peru. The champion team will become the first Brazilian club to win the tournament four times.

So, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (closed channel), ESPN (closed channel), and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Palmeiras game.
