Flamengo clinches back-to-back U-20 World Cup


The Nest's Creations made history last Saturday (23), by winning the back-to-back U-20 Club World Cup against Barcelona (ESP). After a 2-2 draw in normal time, Flamengo came out on top in the penalty shootout. The hero of the match, goalkeeper Léo Nannetti, recalled the decision and chose the most beautiful save of the match.

The most beautiful was at the end, that low shot that their number 7 shot and I managed to save. But the hardest was the face to face, at 80 (minutes), which hit my foot and went out. I even celebrated, because it was a very significant save, which held the result at that moment. And I managed to help the team -, he said, before concluding:
