Jorge Jesus: The Copa Libertadores Final is better than the Champions League Final

DBasia.news –  Flamengo coach, Jorge Jesus, sneered the Champions League after his club won the Copa Libertadores, Sunday (11/24/2019) AM. This was done by comparing the last final party of the two events.

According to Jorge Jesus, the final of the Copa Libertadores between Flamengo and River Plate is far better than the Champions League final that brought Liverpool to Tottenham Hotspur. The advantage lies in various things.

“The final match is aired in 186 countries in the world, witnessed by millions of people. “Anyone who watches will surely realize the level of the match,” Jorge Jesus said as quoted by Liverpool Echo.

Furthermore, the former Benfica coach revealed, “Compared to the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham, the match (the Copa Libertadores final) this time was superior in terms of technique, tactics, and was more colorful than the final in Madrid. I witnessed the match firsthand. “

Flamengo made sure to win the Copa Libertadores after a dramatic 2-1 win over defending champions, River Plate. Being left behind by one goal, Rubo-Negro reversed the situation thanks to the ‘two goals’ brace of a player who failed at Inter Milan, Gabriel Barbosa aka Gabigol.

Copa Libertadores champion, Flamengo will be Conmebol’s representative at the Club World Cup in December. Jorge Jesus’ team will compete with Liverpool, among others, to be the best in this event. As usual, the Champions League and Copa Libertadores champions are the top seeds in this competition.

Personally, for Jorge Jesus, Liverpool is not a foreign opponent. While dealing with Benfica, he had twice gone up against the English giants. The two matches took place in the quarterfinals of the 2009-10 Europa League. At that time, his team won at home with a score of 2-1, but lost 1-4 on a trip to Anfield.
