Flamengo may have presented themselves with three former Ligue 1 players in their starting XI, this Wednesday evening in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, they had to lose against the Saudis of Al-Hilal (2- 3). David Luiz (ex-PSG), Gerson (ex-OM) and Thiago Maia (ex-Lille) will therefore not play the final of the competition on Saturday against Real Madrid or Al-Ahly, who will face each other on Wednesday in the another semi-final.

Led in the score from the 3rd minute, and a penalty converted by Khalifa Al-Dawsari, the Brazilians equalized by Pedro (20th), before Gerson was excluded (45th). The same Al-Dawsari then put his own in front in additional time, again from the penalty spot (45th + 9). Argentinian striker Luciano Vietto even added to the score (70th) but Flamengo, despite being outnumbered, started to believe it again following the reduction in Pedro’s score, also scoring twice (90th +1 ). In vain.
