17 Dec
Summary
- PSG seeks its first Intercontinental Cup title after winning the Champions League.
- Flamengo aims for its second Intercontinental Cup, having won it in 1981.
- No French team has ever won the Intercontinental Cup before.
Paris Saint-Germain is on the cusp of adding another significant trophy to their cabinet, aiming for their first Intercontinental Cup title. Fresh off their maiden Champions League victory, the French giants will face off against South America's champion, Flamengo. This match holds historical weight, as no French club has ever triumphed in the Intercontinental Cup competition.
Coach Luis Enrique emphasized the team's drive to continue making history and build on last season's successes. While PSG secured direct entry as European champions, Flamengo had to navigate through tough matches against Cruz Azul and Pyramids. The Brazilian side, which won the Intercontinental Cup in 1981 with legends like Zico, is eager to cap off a successful year that saw them win both the Copa Libertadores and their domestic championship.
Flamengo's veteran left-back Alex Sandro acknowledged PSG's favorite status but expressed confidence and a desire to savor every moment of the final. The winner will earn the prestigious FIFA badge for the following year. Both teams are prepared for a challenging and close contest in Doha.
