What did Gustavo Gómez say after Flamengo qualified for the Libertadores final?

Palmeiras secured a spot in the Libertadores after overturning a negative score against LDU (EQU) at Allianz Parque. After the 4-0 win by the São Paulo team, defender Gustavo Gómez was candid when asked if there is a favorite in the clash with Flamengo in the grand final of the tournament in Lima.

— In the final, there is no favorite. I believe the two best teams in the championship have made it through. Now we need to enjoy this moment, focus on the Brasileirão where we are the league leaders, and both we and Palmeiras really want to win -, emphasized Gustavo Gómez in an interview on Thursday (30).
