The victory over Pyramids, in the semi-final of the Intercontinental Cup, put Flamengo in the decider for the cup. Now the team will face Paris Saint-Germain, current champions of the Champions League. Filipe Luís, coach of the red-black club, assessed the difficulty of the next clash.
“All the opponents are different, but PSG is the best team in the world. They showed it, they won the Champions League, they are here in this tournament because they are the best. And we, with all the humility in the world, will try to win to make history,” said the coach.
