Rossi criticises PSG keeper’s display vs Flamengo in Club World Cup | OneFootball

What did Rossi say after the Flamengo vs PSG (FRA) match?

Goalkeeper Safanov, from PSG (FRA), was decisive in the penalty shootout in the final against Flamengo at the Club World Cup. After the match, Rossi made a point of praising the performance of the French team's keeper and, in addition, defended the Flamengo players.

— It's the World Cup final, nothing more than that. Their goalkeeper did a great job, I have to congratulate him. My leg is tired as h*ll. All I can do is congratulate the whole team, those who came in, those who went out, those who participated… We gave our lives for Flamengo. We can't leave here being criticized because that would be a huge injustice – said Rossi in a post-match interview.

HOW DID SAFANOV PERFORM IN THE FLAMENGO VS PSG MATCH?

Safanov was the ‘man’ in the penalty shootout in the Club World Cup final. That's because, after the successful kick by De La Cruz, the PSG goalkeeper saved all the penalty attempts from the Flamengo players. Thus, Saúl, Pedro, Léo Pereira and Luiz Araújo were all stopped by the French team's keeper.

DID ROSSI SAVE A PENALTY IN THE FLAMENGO VS PSG MATCH?

Yes! On the Flamengo side, Rossi also saved a PSG penalty. The Flamengo goalkeeper also saw Dembélé miss his shot, but the striker's team still won their first ever Club World Cup title, in Doha, Qatar.

HOW DID THE 2025 SEASON END FOR FLAMENGO?

With the end of the Club World Cup, Flamengo wrapped up the 2025 season with the titles of the Supercopa do Brasil, the Carioca, the Libertadores, and the Brasileirão. For now, the squad is returning from Doha, expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro at the end of this Thursday (18th). After that, the team will begin their vacation, with the date for returning to training in 2026 yet to be determined.
