Aerofla: Flamengo fans celebrate as team departs for Libertadores final | OneFootball

Flamengo received all the love and support from the fans on Wednesday afternoon as they embarked on the grand final of the Copa Libertadores, to be held in Lima, Peru. The Rio de Janeiro team will face Palmeiras this Saturday at 6 PM (Brasília time) at the Estadio Monumental U.

Flamengo's fans organized a beautiful celebration not only at the departure of the bus from Ninho Urubu but also along the route to Galeão and upon arrival at the airport. The Flamengo supporters showed up in large numbers, bringing flags, setting off fireworks, and filling the sky with red smoke.

Many fans even climbed on top of the team's bus during the final stretch to Galeão. The Flamengo supporters sang constantly and encouraged the team before the most important game of the year. Flamengo players even recorded a fan entering through the roof of the bus.

Flamengo has now taken off towards the Peruvian capital. The arrival of the Flamengo delegation in Lima is expected at 10:25 PM (Brasília time).

Palmeiras and Flamengo reach the Libertadores final with the same goal: to become the first Brazilian team to win the competition four times. Palmeiras has already won the trophy in 1999, 2020, and 2021. Meanwhile, the Rio de Janeiro team lifted the trophy in 1981, 2019, and 2022.

Pedro traveled with the delegation

The forward Pedro, who is undergoing treatment for a muscle injury in his left thigh, traveled with the rest of the delegation to join the squad for the Copa Libertadores final. However, it remains a mystery whether he will recover in time to at least be on the bench.

Flamengo's number 9 was still wearing a brace on his forearm, which he fractured during the Copa Libertadores semifinal match against Racing-ARG.
