Brazilian clubs are currently showing a lot of surprises, they are beating the popular and strong European clubs. Yesterday, Flamengo beat a strong team like Chelsea 3-1. It was really interesting. Chelsea attacked strongly in the first half of the match and they scored one goal, but in the second half, Flamengo attacked strongly and by the end of the game they were able to score three goals, where they achieved a great victory and collected three points. Flamengo is currently in the first position of Group D. They have played two matches and collected full points in both matches, which is why they have occupied the top position.
You should not be surprised with the way that teams from the Brazilian league is playing against the big European teams because the quality of the Europa League is thesame as most European teams the Brazilian league has quality players and most of them are young with football skills and knowledge Brazilian teams can hold their own against top European teams
I think that the South American teams are much weaker than the big European clubs and in fact in the end we will see a sort of champions league, and I am convinced of this, there are clubs that are too strong for the Brazilian teams, with all due respect to them, they are not at the same level
what parameters are you using to judge the south Americans team few years ago Corinthians beat European champions to claim the club world cup coming to this tournament you can see that already European champions has already been beaten by a team from the south America so I don't know the parameters that you are using in your judgement because this tournament is the assembly of the best teams around the world,so the standard of south Americans teams is equal to the European counterpart what the European have as an edge is the media publicity which has made their leagues more popular
