Flamengo’s main defender, Leo Pereira, was very polite when commenting on the expression that spread on social media from fans in red and black: “No one dies because of us.” This phrase is a reference to the 2021 Libertadores tournament, when Palmeiras won, in a decision, over Mes Querido 2-1, in extra time, in Montevideo, Uruguay. This Saturday (29), in Lima, Mingo returned and beat Verdi 1-0. Thus, Florida became the most successful Brazilian club in international competition with four titles. But the will rejects any provocation against the groom.

Leo Pereira said after the match against Sao Paulo: “No revenge, no provocative tone. Palmeiras has reached the decision with its best season and also deserves congratulations for coming this far.”

Leo Pereira praised Palmeiras and said that he always trusted Flamengo’s strength, even in the most difficult moments during the fourth Libertadores campaign.

“I told those close to me, without arrogance, that we would become champions. We went through several scenarios: defeats, qualifiers, penalty kicks, matches in which we were under pressure. In other words, we lived through everything and became a difficult team. Fortunately, we have a high-quality team and an outstanding coach. We show our potential every day,” this is what Al-Sherif understands.
