WHAT WAS THE LIBERTADORES TEAM OF THE WEEK?

In fact, Arrascaeta stood out. The Uruguayan provided a pinpoint assist for Bruno Henrique to score Flamengo’s second goal. In addition, the number 10 received a perfectly weighted pass from the forward to score the third. The midfielder also hit the post with a header.

Flamengo delivered a great performance at the Maracanã. The aforementioned Bruno Henrique, with one goal and one assist, was left out of Conmebol’s selection. Paquetá, who opened the scoring, started the move for the second goal and completely controlled the midfield, was also overlooked.

WAS THERE A FLAMENGO PLAYER IN THE FIRST ROUND TEAM?

If Bruno Henrique was absent from the second round, the forward was in the first-round team. After the win over Cusco (PER) at altitude, the number 27 was Flamengo’s only representative among last week’s best XI in the Copa Libertadores da América. On that occasion, BH scored the first goal of the match.

WHEN WILL THE NEXT LIBERTADORES TEAM OF THE WEEK BE ANNOUNCED?

After two straight weeks of Libertadores action, the competition will take a break. Flamengo will only play again on April 29, against Estudiantes (ARG), in La Plata. The clash is for the top spot in Group A, since the Rubro-Negro are top with six points, while the Argentinians have four in second place.
