How the Argentine press views the Recopa ahead of Flamengo v Lanús clash? | OneFootball

Main Argentine Media Outlets Give Little Attention to the Recopa

If they manage to beat Flamengo, Lanús (ARG) will achieve the greatest title in their history with the Recopa. However, Argentine media outlets are giving little space to the decision this Thursday (26).

Considered a small team in Argentina, Lanús, located in the southern zone of Greater Buenos Aires, fails to attract the attention of the local media. On the day of the decision against Flamengo, the Argentine press is more interested in who will be the next coach of River Plate (ARG).

WHAT DOES OLÉ SAY ABOUT THE RECOPA?

As Argentina's main sports page, Olé highlights Marcelo Gallardo's farewell at River, the possible replacements, and details of Thursday's game against Banfield (ARG). Additionally, the portal provides details about Paredes' return to Boca Juniors (ARG), as the athlete is recovering from an injury. Regarding Flamengo vs. Lanús, there's only a note at the bottom of the site. It includes details about possible lineups, where to watch, and the time.

AND LA NACIÓN?

Another relevant Argentine outlet, La Nación, takes a similar approach. It gives much attention to Gallardo's farewell at River Plata (ARG). Furthermore, the site highlights Argentinos Juniors' elimination at home in the Libertadores on Wednesday (25). Regarding the Recopa, there's a 'divided' text with other subjects. The article's title is: “Gallardo bids farewell to River, Flamengo vs. Lanús in the Recopa, Europa League, and Libertadores“.

IS IT ALSO IMPORTANT FOR FLAMENGO?

Despite the apparent disinterest of the Argentine press, Lanús treats the Recopa as a chance for the greatest title in their history. Thus, it is above the two South American titles won by the club in 2013 and 2025.

However, for Flamengo, it is also very important: it's the chance to win their second international title at Maracanã (the first was the 2020 Recopa). Moreover, it is an opportunity to dispel the crisis surrounding the Rubro-Negro.

The grand decision takes place starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla, directly from Maracanã. On television, ESPN, on a closed channel, and Disney Plus streaming will show the new champion's cheer.
