Hey, Paquetá!
This Saturday's match marks a farewell. Lucas Paquetá, sold to Milan, bids farewell to the Flamengo fans and the club he served for 12 years. The Flamengo youth player gave a press conference the day before the match and spoke about his feelings about leaving his home.

"I talked to my wife and mother and said I'm scared to leave Flamengo, a feeling I've never experienced before. I love this shirt and have always been happy playing here. I leave with that little pain of leaving my home. You know? But with the certainty that one day I'll return."

The number 11 also discussed his final encounter with the fans at the Maracanã stadium on Saturday night.

"I don't worry about crying or not. I just want to live tomorrow in the best way possible. Do my best, make the fans happy and be very thankful."
