"Absurd": Saúl shocked by incident at Flamengo | OneFootball

Spanish Midfielder Joined Flamengo Mid-Year After Decades in European Football

After the unprecedented four-time championship of a Brazilian team in the Libertadores, the newly arrived Saúl Ñíguez celebrated his first title with Flamengo. The Spanish midfielder took to social media as soon as the game ended to highlight the achievement.

“My first title with Flamengo was none other than a Libertadores. Absurd,” stated Saúl in a post on X, formerly Twitter. The Spaniard is pictured with the Eternal Glory trophy.

What Else Did Saúl Say About the Libertadores?

Saúl's profile has been active since he arrived in Rio de Janeiro. The player's page, for instance, posted a request for Flamengo to change the club's page name to “Fl4mengo,” in reference to the four Libertadores.

How Did Saúl Play in the Final?

Filipe Luís left Saúl on the bench and did not bring him on in the 1-0 victory over Palmeiras. Thus, the midfielder played four times in this year's Libertadores, as he lost his starting position with the return of Erick Pulgar.

Since When Has Saúl Been at Flamengo?

Saúl and his family arrived in Rio de Janeiro in July of this year. The midfielder was in Spain, on loan to Sevilla from Atlético de Madrid. The Spaniard was on his way to Turkey, but Flamengo intercepted the negotiation.

What Is Flamengo's Next Game?

With Saúl available, Flamengo focuses its attention on the match against Ceará on Wednesday (03), for the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game is scheduled to start at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.

The match between Flamengo and Ceará will be broadcast by Rede Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view). However, Coluna do Fla provides all the information about the match through its website and social media.
