A Spanish newspaper says: “Flamengo and Filipe Luis, the heroes of the scandal.”

“Flamingo and Felipe LuisChampions with a scandal.” This is the title of the Spanish newspaper’s report on the victory of the Rio team on Saturday in Lima. The newspaper stated that a decisive moment occurred in the first half, when Pulgar hit his shoe on the leg of Bruno Fox, and the Argentine referee Dario Herrera showed only the yellow card.

AS newspaper said: “VAR was exempted from responsibility and did not request a review of this move,” describing Flamengo as “a giant club experiencing its best moments in its 130-year history.”

His Spanish colleague Marca stated, “Danilo gives the Libertadores Cup to Flamengo player Filipe Luis.” Danilo was a Real Madrid player, and the current coach plays for Atletico. The newspaper highlighted the severity of the decision. Marca reported: “In the first half alone, Flamengo committed nine fouls and received three yellow cards, while Palmeiras committed six fouls and Rafael Vega received a warning.”

Barcelona newspaper Mundo Deportivo highlighted a former player from the local giant: “Flamengo leaves Vitor Roque without the Copa Libertadores.” The 20-year-old striker has had a quick spell at Barcelona. The newspaper also classified Danilo’s goal as a “header goal.”

The Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport also mentioned in its headline that Danilo was the top scorer in Flamengo’s victory, and recalled that the defender played for a club in the country. The newspaper reported, “It was an exciting and typical match in South America (…) and a header from the former Juventus player.”

The Portuguese newspaper “A Bola” described that the former Porto player’s goal decided “a tied match in Lima,” recalling that Flamengo is coached by Portuguese coach Jose Boto.
