Flamengo fought until the end, but lost on penalties to PSG (FRA) in the World Cup final. After the match, midfielder Jorginho pointed to fatigue as the main culprit for Rubro-Negro's defeat to the French team.

— That could have been a reflection of it as well (fatigue). You get there after having run so much. The team gave everything, so much so that I told the boys it was time to try to recover as much energy as possible. It's a moment when you need to be clear-headed and unfortunately we didn't come away with the victory we wanted so much –, said Jorginho in a post-match interview this Wednesday (17th).

In regular time, Flamengo and PSG drew 1-1 in Qatar. In extra time, the score remained the same, and so the match was decided by penalties. During the shootout, Rossi even saved two shots, but Saúl, Pedro, Léo Pereira and Luiz Araújo missed their opportunities. As a result, Luis Enrique's team won their first ever World Cup title.
