Varela: Flamengo players feel “this team is destined” for final | OneFootball

Flamengo keeps the dream of a second world championship alive

Flamengo lived up to their ‘favorite’ status and defeated Pyramids (EGY) 2-0 this Saturday (13th), in the semifinal of the Intercontinental. After the match, full-back Guillermo Varela highlighted the players’ confidence ahead of the Club World Cup final against PSG (FRA).

–We had already discussed internally that this team is destined to make history. So we all believe, all of us players, and the fans believe too. All together, we will try to make this possible–, said Varela.

Who did PSG beat to reach the Club World Cup final?

Unlike Flamengo, who had to beat Cruz Azul (MEX) and Pyramids, PSG did not play any matches to reach the World Cup final. That’s because, having won the Champions League in the 2024/25 season, the French team secured a direct spot in the final.

However, PSG also took to the field this Saturday (13th) while Flamengo was defeating Pyramids. Thus, with an alternate lineup, Luis Enrique’s team overcame Metz (FRA) 3-2, in a match valid for the 16th round of the French Championship.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Varela available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (17th) to face PSG (FRA). Furthermore, the grand final of the Intercontinental will take place at 2pm (Brasília time), at Al Rayyan Stadium, in Doha, Qatar.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs PSG match.
