Alex Sandro: Brazil squad back Libertadores champions, Flamengo or Palmeiras? | OneFootball

Who Are the Brazilian National Team Players Rooting for in the Libertadores Final?

Flamengo full-back Alex Sandro has been called up by the Brazilian National Team. This Thursday (13th), the player gave a press conference and commented on the Libertadores final against Palmeiras. The number 26 even revealed that Flamengo fans are the majority behind the scenes of the ‘Amarelinha’.

— We talk, we chat, it’s a topic especially among those players who have played for Flamengo. But it’s during moments of relaxation, when we’re at the pool, or sometimes when we’re just hanging out, not on the field for work — he said, before concluding:

— And it’s normal, it’s healthy, and I’m sure we’ll have a big crowd with these players who are here. I think the Flamengo supporters are the majority here in the Brazilian National Team right now — concluded Alex Sandro.

When Is the Libertadores Final?

The final of the 2025 Libertadores will take place on November 29th, starting at 6pm (Brasília time). Flamengo and Palmeiras will face off at Estadio Monumental U, in Lima (PER). Thus, the team that wins will become the first Brazilian club with four titles in the competition.

Is Alex Sandro Available for the Next Match?

It’s important to note, however, that Alex Sandro is not available to Filipe Luís for Flamengo’s next match. That’s because the full-back was called up by the Brazilian National Team for the November FIFA window. Therefore, the player is focused on the two friendlies with the ‘Amarelinha’.

What Is Flamengo’s Next Match?

Without Alex Sandro, Flamengo remains focused on their next Brasileirão fixture. This Saturday (15th), Filipe Luís’s team faces Sport at Arena de Pernambuco, at 6:30pm (Brasília time), in a rescheduled match from the 12th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, their website, and social media. However, Prime Video (streaming) will broadcast the Sport vs Flamengo match.
