Another quarterfinal match was defined after PSG and Bayern dispatched Inter Miami and Flamengo, respectively.
And there were highlights on social media.
With Leila Pereira as the protagonist and much more.
It’s impossible to go to Philadelphia and not repeat the steps of Rocky Balboa, the character immortalized by Sylvester Stallone back in 1976, right?
That’s what Leila Pereira did when she climbed the 72 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s staircase.
Which became the Rocky Steps (Rocky’s steps in English) after a statue of the character was installed at the location.
The Palmeiras president celebrated the team’s qualification to the quarterfinals of the World Cup in this way.
And, of course, there was a photo “next” to Rocky.
It got tough, Messi…
Lionel Messi didn’t just face his former club on Sunday.
The star faced a “home” game even though he was playing in the United States.
The match was played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Stadium that is the home of Atlanta Utd.
There was even a banner that wasn’t very kind, reminding Messi of the defeats he had against the local rival.
Atlanta also defeated Inter Miami 5-2 in September 2023. But Messi didn’t play.
The Argentine, in turn, has three wins against the rival.
The other match between the teams with Messi on the field ended in a draw.
And speaking of Messi…
Lionel had a reunion with several former teammates.
Dembélé, for example, played with him at Barcelona – he arrived at PSG after Messi’s departure.
And he took almost EVERYTHING from the Inter Miami star home.
Many joked about the situation:
Dembélé also got shirts from two other former Barça teammates:
Did Busquets not want to collaborate?
Former striker Adriano couldn’t contain himself in the final minutes of Flamengo 2 x 4 Bayern.
Would it be different with him there?
