LONDON, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gatorade has brought Brazilian football legend Kaka to boost the confidence of the losing team from the 2024 Gatorade 5v5 Finals at the UEFA Champions League Final in London. The legend surprised young players in the locker room post-match, sharing a reminder that 'You Never Stay Defeated', and the power losing has, to fuel tomorrow's success.
The final saw team Brazil triumphed over team Colombia by a scoreline of 5-1. To transform the moment of disappointment for the losing team into one of hope, rather than a drop in confidence, Kaka's heartfelt Team Talk soothed their spirits and shared the message to harness the loss as fuel to build resilience and growth.
Kaka, known for his creativity and goal scoring prowess, faced challenges throughout his career. During the You Never Stay Defeated Team Talk, he described transforming his setbacks into motivation. This culminated in Kaka starring in the 2007 UEFA Champions League Final, where Milan emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Liverpool.
Discussing the You Never Stay Defeated Team Talk, Kaka said "The 2024 Gatorade 5v5 Finalists did a tremendous job at coming second out of 13 teams worldwide. However, losing can feel permanent, especially when you are a teenager. Incredible results can be achieved when we use defeat to fuel success. I am fortunate to have had a long, successful career. Yet, I will always appreciate the fact that the setbacks I encountered along the way fueled my victory. The way you handle defeat is what sets you on the path to victory."
