Andreas Pereira brought to tears by emotional video call with former Flamengo teammate David Luiz

Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira was brought to tears by a video call with his former Flamengo teammate David Luiz.

It was a particularly devastating defeat for Pereira, who was at fault for Deyverson's extra-time winner in a 2-1 victory for Palmeiras.

"You can count on me, I'll stay here until we win the next one," he told a fan group at the time.

Flamengo would get another opportunity to win the Copa Libertadores in the 2022 final on Saturday and this time they made no mistake, beating another Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense.

Brazil international Gabigol scored the only goal of the game to secure Flamengo their third title.

After the match, Pereira shared an emotional video call with Luiz.

The former Chelsea and Arsenal defender shared a screenshot of his call with a tearful Pereira on Instagram, alongside the caption: "You are a champion brother, we love you."

Pereira later posted a message of support to his former Flamengo teammates after their victory.

"Very proud to be part of this team," he wrote on social media.

"Until my last minute I gave life for these colors!"

Pereira has impressed since joining Fulham from United in a deal thought to be worth around £10m.

He has scored one goal and provided four assists in 13 appearances for the Cottagers this season.

Fulham next face a daunting trip to Manchester City on Saturday before Pereira comes up against his former club Manchester United the following Sunday.
