“It’s going to be a tough as h*** game! Flamengo and Palmeiras are the two best football clubs in South America right now, at least for me,” said the former player in an interview published by CNN.
Romário was also straightforward when asked who he would be rooting for in the final. The “Baixinho” does not hide his connection with the Rio club, for which he played 240 times and scored 204 goals.
“If you ask me who I’ll be rooting for, it’s Flamengo. It’s the team I’ve worn the shirt for, I have a great relationship with the fans, with the directors, and it’s from Rio de Janeiro. I hope it’s a great match. Football deserves it!” he concluded.
