Saúl Ñíguez Takes a Shot at Real Madrid Ahead of the Intercontinental Final: “Flamengo Is Bigger Than Madrid”
Just hours before facing PSG, Saúl Ñíguez dropped a statement that shook the football world and sparked a comparison as controversial as it was unexpected.
Saúl, a Key Figure in Brazil and One Step Away From Another Title
Saúl Ñíguez is enjoying a special moment in his time with Flamengo. The Spanish midfielder, a former cornerstone at Atlético de Madrid, is on the verge of lifting his third trophy in just six months with the Brazilian giants, now coached by another familiar name from the Atlético orbit: Filipe Luís.
Ahead of the Intercontinental Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain, Saúl spoke to As, reflecting on his adaptation to the club, the impact of Flamengo’s supporters, and what it truly means to wear the red-and-black shirt in South American football.
A Statement That Won’t Go Unnoticed
Saúl’s words quickly resonated. On the eve of a high-profile international showdown against PSG, his comparison reignited one of football’s eternal debates: what it truly means to have the biggest fanbase in the world.
As Flamengo prepare for another historic night and Saúl looks to keep adding silverware, his statement is already part of the conversation. Provocative, direct, and full of emotion—just like the Brazilian stage he now calls home.
