How does Flamengo arrive?

The Flamengo Under-20 team will have important reinforcements for the game against Barcelona. The main help comes from the club's professionals, with the presence of Matheus Gonçalves and Joshua. In addition to them, defender João Victor will also be available to Bruno Pivetti on Saturday.

And Wallace Yan?

While the trio returns to the youth categories, young Wallace Yan remains with the professionals. This is because coach Filipe Luís made the decision to leave the striker out of the final against Barcelona.

When will Flamengo x Barcelona be?

After beating Olympiacos (GRE) last year, Flamengo will try to win the bi-championship starting at 4:30 pm (Brasília time) this Saturday (23), at the Maracanã. If there is Mengão on the field, then the Coluna do Fla will be present, with total coverage on the site, social media, and YouTube. Thus, the match marks the meeting of the champion of the Libertadores this year against the winner of the Youth League, equivalent to the Champions League, in Europe.
