Another knockout match between the Rossoneri

Incidentally, the Rossoneri from Rio de Janeiro and Paraná have consistently faced each other in decisive matches. After all, in the past 12 years, this will be the tenth time they’ve met. In 2022 Flamengo and Athletico, in addition to facing each other for the Brasileirão, have faced each other for the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. In the national competition, the Rio de Janeiro team, champions of the competition, eliminated Hurricane in the quarterfinals. Already in Libertadores, the duel was in the decision. In just one match, Flamengo beat Athletico 1-0 and won the title in Ecuador.

where to look

TV Globo, on open TV, broadcasts the confrontation between Flamengo and Athletico, as well as SporTV and Premiere, both on cable TV. In addition, Amazon Prime will also broadcast the match.

How is Flamengo?

For the Maracanã match, coach Jorge Sampaoli doesn’t know if he will have Gabigol and Léo Pereira. After all, the attacker and defender left the match against Fortaleza at the end of the week due to physical problems. Thus, the presence of the Rossoneri in the match will be defined on the eve of the match. Matheus França is also in doubt, having missed the last few games due to injury.

The Argentinian coach will instead have Luiz Araújo, a striker recently signed by Mais Querido. Araújo has signed up for the competition and will go to the match. But the same won’t happen with Allan and Rossi who, although regularized, don’t have the ideal physical conditions for the match.

How are Atletico Madrid doing?

If Sampaoli will have Luiz Araújo, Hurricane interim coach Wesley Carvalho also has something new. Left-back Lucas Esquivel, acquired in May, has been regularized by the Hurricane and is available for the Maracanã match. However, Atletico will have a big embezzlement to face Flamengo. After all, Uruguayan David Terans was traded to Pachuca, from Mexico, and didn’t even go to Rio de Janeiro.
