Paquetá aims to heal 2017 scars in Flamengo v Lanús Recopa final | OneFootball

Flamengo and Lanús (ARG) to Decide the Recopa Sudamericana Title at Maracanã

Lucas Paquetá ended his first stint with Flamengo in 2018 after winning a state championship and finishing as runner-up in the previous year’s Sudamericana. Therefore, this Thursday’s (26) final against Lanús (ARG), for the Recopa, is a way to forget the frustration from nine years ago.

This is because the 2017 season, despite the state title, brought disappointments for the red-and-black fans. First, the Most Beloved suffered an early elimination in the group stage of the Libertadores. Later, there was the bitter runner-up finish in the Copa do Brasil on penalties to Cruzeiro.

What caused the most trauma in 2017?

As if that weren’t enough, Lucas Paquetá’s Rubro-Negro had the chance to save the year with the Sudamericana final. However, the Most Beloved lost the first leg and drew the return match against Independiente (ARG), which led to protests from fans and taunts from rival supporters.

But has Paquetá admitted to being traumatized?

— I lived through many moments here that came close, then I saw Flamengo achieving many things, I came to be a part of that. Now it’s a more solid, more victorious moment. I hope that Flamengo can keep on winning,” highlighted the homegrown red-and-black player to ESPN.

What time does Paquetá’s Flamengo play?

With Paquetá available, Flamengo faces Lanús again this Thursday (26). The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Lanús through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
