Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira was left in tears after a phone call from former Flamengo team-mate David Luiz.
Brazil internationals Luiz and Pereira were both part of the Flamengo team which suffered a painful defeat against Palmeiras in the 2021 Copa Libertadores final. That result was particularly heartbreaking for former Manchester United man Pereira, whose costly mistake let in Deyverson for an extra-time winner.
While the midfielder has since moved to Fulham, Luiz stayed with the Rubro-Negro to help them reach the continental final once more. This time they got the job done, and emotions got the better of Pereira when he got a call from his former colleague.
