After the match, Filipe Luís praised the Colombian and lamented the 'misfortune' of the player competing for a position with Arrascaeta.

— About Carrascal, practically the same situation. A player who competes for a position originally with Arrascaeta, who is in his best phase. Very difficult for the player who arrives to compete with one of the best players in Brazil at the moment, if not the best -, he said, before concluding:

— We know that he can play in other positions as well. We are giving him all the affection so that he can adapt as quickly as possible, because he is a player who has a lot of talent -, concluded Filipe Luís, during a press conference.
