Saúl turns up the heat, fumes over Flamengo’s Intercontinental woes | OneFootball

Saúl thinks it's unfair that Flamengo has two more games than PSG (FRA)

For Flamengo to become world champion, they will have to defeat three opponents. Meanwhile, PSG (FRA) only needs to win against one. The difference in the Intercontinental Cup table angered midfielder Saúl from Mengão. The Spaniard finds the tournament rules unfair and sees them as an obstacle for the red-and-black team.

— We have to go in with a lot of humility, after having won two titles. I think, for me, it's unfair that the Champions League champion only plays one game. We have to play three matches every three days. It will be tough, but we'll try. First game against Cruz Azul, win, and then we'll see — said Saúl.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S PATH TO THE FINAL?

Thus, the four-time Libertadores champion will face Cruz Azul this Wednesday (10th). If they win, Flamengo will face the African champion Pyramids (EGI) on December 13th. Finally, PSG, who will only have one match in the competition, is the last challenge on 12/17.

The journey towards a second world title begins this Saturday (6th), when the Flamengo delegation travels to Qatar. Departure is scheduled for 3pm (Brasília time), with AeroFla. The trip will last approximately 15 hours.

AND THE LAST ROUND OF THE BRASILEIRÃO?

In summary, the main squad of Flamengo will travel hours before the last game in the Brasileirão. Also this Saturday (6th), the Rubro-Negro faces Mirassol at 6:30pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Maião. The match is just for the record, since the Rubro-Negro has already secured the title, and the surprise of the championship will not move from fourth place.
