Fabrício Bruno reacts to Cruzeiro's Copa Libertadores exit

Defender Fabrício Bruno has shared his thoughts on Cruzeiro's elimination from the Copa Libertadores following their Round of 16 defeat to Flamengo. While he had hoped for a different outcome for his current side, the defender acknowledged the quality of the opposition after the 2-1 loss at the Maracanã.

The first half was difficult. Nothing we planned for the game was executed in the opening stage. Because of Flamengo and their quality, the game was open. Perhaps that forced us to defend more than we had planned. Flamengo deserved it based on their proposal. Fabrício Bruno

I really wanted Cruzeiro to go through. But, considering the matchups that occurred, I will be rooting for Flamengo. Fabrício Bruno
