In the group stage, Brazilian clubs attracted the attention of football fans. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
They reached the playoffs with all their teams and did not lose a single match. In particular, the success of the “Flamengo” team and their defender Felipe Luis was memorable.
“Flamengo” won against “Chelsea” in the group and also triumphed over “Chelsea” at home. In the round of 16, it was expected that the Brazilians would give “Bayern” a tough time.
However, due to certain factors, an easier path was opened for the Munich club. Now let’s examine who caused “Flamengo” to lose against “Bayern”. The website “Evro-futbol.ru” evaluated the players' actions and provided subjective ratings based on a 10-point system. The three worst players in the match: Alex Sandro, Erik Pulgar, and Luis Araujo.
Alex Sandro, who previously played for “Juventus,” performed poorly against the opposing defender Kimmich. He committed three fouls, fell for the opponent's trick twice, and lost six out of eight duels.
His substitution was needed before the 80th minute. Erik Pulgar was less active in the game and did not work hard enough to close down the opponent. He committed two fouls and was outpaced by the opponent twice.
It was precisely Pulgar's mistake that led to “Flamengo” conceding a goal. Luis Araujo was the worst player in the match. His uneven actions contributed to two goals.
First, he failed to play well from the center and gifted the ball to the opponent, resulting in “Bayern”’s Leon scoring the third goal. Then he again passed the ball to Kimmich, who assisted Kane for a double.
Araujo constantly created danger in his own defense and could not help the defense. Overall, the shortcomings of some players in “Flamengo” led the team to defeat. Therefore, although the team played well overall, they lost against “Bayern” due to some individual mistakes.
This situation should serve as a warning for the team’s upcoming matches.
