The final of the 2025 Under-20 Intercontinental Cup marks the duel between Flamengo and Barcelona (ESP) this Saturday (23), starting at 16:30 (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.

The Flamengo under-20 team will have important reinforcements for the game against Barcelona. The main help comes from the club's professionals, with the presence of Matheus Gonçalves and Joshua. In addition to them, defender João Victor will also be at the disposal of Bruno Pivetti on Saturday.
While the trio returns to the youth categories, young Wallace Yan remains with the professionals. This is because coach Filipe Luís made the decision to leave the attacker out of the final against Barcelona.
After beating Olympiacos (GRE) last year, Flamengo will try to become a two-time champion starting at 16:30 (Brasília time) this Saturday (23), at the Maracanã. If Mengão is on the field, then Coluna do Fla will be present, with full coverage on the site, social media, and YouTube. Thus, the match marks the meeting of the champion of the Libertadores this year against the winner of the Youth League, equivalent to the Champions League, in Europe.
