Flamengo and Racing (ARG) face off in the Libertadores semifinal on October 22 and 29

Racing (ARG), Flamengo’s opponent in the Copa Libertadores semifinal, drew 0-0 with Independiente Rivadavia (ARG) last Monday (06). After the match, coach Gustavo Costas highlighted the planning to eliminate Mengo and reach the final.

— We put it in their (the players’) heads that it’s not just about competing, but about winning the Copa Libertadores. We have to get to Lima (the venue for the 2025 final) no matter what; it’s the only thing on our minds — Gustavo Costas began.

— Some fans must be saying that we’re not even among the last eight yet, but Racing fans know it’s been a thousand years since we reached a Libertadores semifinal, let alone a final. Everyone’s dream is to win it — concluded the Racing coach.
