Pedro Neto on 'scare' v Flamengo before Portugal v Colombia

What did Pedro Neto, Portugal national team player, say about the match against Flamengo?

Forward Pedro Neto was present in the epic match between Flamengo and Chelsea (ENG) in the 2025 Club World Cup. Given the situation, the player made a point of mentioning the “pressure” suffered against Mengão before the clash between Portugal and Colombia in the third round of Group K at the World Cup.

What I take from that experience is that, even in the match against Flamengo, I said it was very difficult. It had been the most difficult one we had faced up to that point because of the intensity, the way they play, the way they experience the game, and the atmosphere as well. The Brazilians filled the stadium. The atmosphere will also be similar, the experience, the intensity. That’s what we have to be prepared for -, said Pedro Neto in a press conference this Thursday (25).
