Yes! Alex Sandro and Danilo have already had the experience of playing together in the Libertadores. In 2021, the defensive duo of Flamengo achieved this feat playing for Santos. At that time, the players even became champions of the competition with the Baixada Santista team, which included Neymar.

HOW WAS THE FLAMENGO VS. RACING GAME?

With Alex Sandro and Danilo starting among the starters, Flamengo played a true ‘battle’ at Maracanã. This is because, from the start of the match, Racing did not make life easy for the Rubro-Negro.

After the victory in the Libertadores, Flamengo shifts focus to the Brasileirão. Thus, the next commitment in the tournament takes place this Saturday (25) against Fortaleza, at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Castelão.
