Danilo picks his favourite for Flamengo v PSG in the Club World Cup final | OneFootball

Who is Danilo’s favorite to win the world championship?

Flamengo defeated Pyramids (EGY) 2-0 this Saturday (13), securing a spot in the Intercontinental Club final. The scorer of the second goal for Mengão, Danilo was candid and said that PSG (FRA) is the big favorite for the World Cup final.

—Obviously, Paris Saint-Germain, because of all the investment and their recent history. But we also have important players, who have good character— he said, before concluding:

—It’s going to be very difficult, but we’re going to do our part. We’ll try, in some way, to neutralize their strengths and play a beautiful, special game and, who knows, maybe win— concluded Danilo, in an interview in the mixed zone.

How was the Flamengo vs Pyramids match?

Flamengo controlled much of the first half, creating several dangerous opportunities. Unsurprisingly, at the 23rd minute, Léo Pereira opened the scoring for the Rubro-Negro. After a free kick from Arrascaeta, the defender rose unmarked and headed the ball into the back of the Pyramids net.

In the second half, despite some early pressure from Pyramids, Flamengo was not threatened. In fact, at the six-minute mark, in a play similar to the first goal, Danilo scored the second goal for Mengão in the match, after another free kick from Arrascaeta.

Will Danilo be a starter in the Flamengo vs PSG match?

It’s worth noting that Danilo knows PSG well. After all, the defender spent much of his career in Europe, with stints at Real Madrid (ESP), Manchester City (ENG), and Juventus (ITA). Thus, it’s possible that the number 13 will be among the starting eleven for Flamengo in the final, adding experience to the starting lineup.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Danilo available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (17) to face PSG (FRA). Furthermore, the grand final of the Intercontinental will take place at 2:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at Al Rayyan Stadium, in Doha, Qatar.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, their website and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs PSG match.
