Leila Pereira makes key call before Flamengo v Palmeiras in Brasileirão | OneFootball

What did Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, decide before the match against Flamengo?

Flamengo and Palmeiras will face each other in a ‘premature final’ atmosphere in the next round of the Brasileirão. Given the weight of the clash and the recent controversies involving the teams behind the scenes, Leila Pereira has decided not to attend this Sunday’s (19th) match at Maracanã.

According to ‘ESPN Brasil’, Leila Pereira feels that the atmosphere is not right for her to be at the stadium amid disputes with Bap, president of Flamengo. As a result, the president chose to stay away and avoid any kind of embarrassment with the Rubro-Negro fans.

WHAT IS THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN LEILA PEREIRA AND BAP?

In recent days, Leila Pereira and Bap have been engaged in a ‘battle’ over the Libra broadcasting rights. This is because the Rubro-Negro does not agree with the revenue sharing quotas among the group’s teams, while the São Paulo team opposes Mengão’s stance.

In addition, another point causing friction between the teams concerns refereeing errors. In recent matches involving the São Paulo team, some referee decisions have even driven the Rubro-Negro fans crazy.
