"It's a scar that stays with you forever. For me, it wasn't so much about losing to Real Madrid, as it was losing the Champions League final."
"What hurt was the way we lost. Their goal was offside, then we missed a penalty and there was also a possible red card for Real. It was cruel."
Saul reflects on the pain of losing two Champions League finals to Real Madrid, emphasizing that the experience is a scar that remains forever. Despite achieving success with Flamengo and other titles, the losses in 2014 and 2016 haunt him. The 2014 final was particularly painful due to a last-minute equalizer by Sergio Ramos, while the 2016 loss was marred by perceived injustices, including an offside goal and missed penalty. For Saul, these losses overshadow any subsequent victories.
